The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5427

Seeing Cindy’s confident expression, Maria felt a weight lift off her shoulders.

Glancing at the clock, Maria spoke, “My lord, it’s nearly eight o’clock now. When do you plan on
heading home?”

Cindy replied, “My father-in-law usually leaves for the Painting and Calligraphy Association around nine
o’clock, which is quite far from my place. Miss Clark doesn’t need to see me off; the helicopter is too
noisy in the downtown area. I can manage on my own.”

Maria insisted, “Young Master, I can’t let you go back alone. I’ll drive you home myself.”

Cindy waved her off, saying, “It’s really not necessary. I can handle it on my own.”

Softly, Maria implored, “If you just leave like that, passing by the courtyard below, the servants will see
you leaving my quarters early in the morning. They might misunderstand…”

Cindy felt uneasy, asking, “Then what does Miss Clark suggest?”

Maria assured him, “Give me a moment, and I’ll make the arrangements.”

Cindy nodded, saying, “Please, take your time.”

With a happy smile, Maria picked up her phone and made a call. “Marius, come up here.”

Curious, Cindy asked, “Is this Marius the one you called Grandpa in Northern Europe?”

Blushing, Maria replied shyly, “My lord, please forgive me. In the past, I had to pretend that Marius was
my grandfather, so people wouldn’t suspect…”

Cindy waved it off, inquiring, “He’s actually your adopted orphan, right?”



Maria confirmed, “Yes, the family adopted Marius and two other elderly people living here many years
ago.”

Cindy couldn’t help but ask, “How do you feel seeing them go from babies to old folks? It must be a
unique experience, given the special bond.”

Maria nodded, “It’s been the fate of our family. We have no blood relation, but we share a deep
connection. They’ve grown close to everything.”

Cindy nodded, still trying to grasp the feeling.

After a few minutes, an old man arrived at Maria’s courtyard and gently knocked on the door. “Miss, the
old servant is here.”

Maria called him in, and the old man was taken aback to see Cindy sitting on the teacher’s chair.

While bowing respectfully, he said, “I am old servant Marius Cross, I have met Mr. Wade. Thank you for
saving my life!”

Cindy stood up, returning the gesture. “You’re too kind, old man. It was just a small effort.”

Maria interjected, “Jordan, this is Marius, my trusted butler. Don’t be so formal with him. Treat him as
your own servant.”

Marius asked with excitement, “Miss, have you told Mr. Wade everything about you?”

Maria blushed, embarrassed, and replied, “I’ve been honest with him, sharing my past three hundred
years. From now on, there’s no need to hide anything from him.”

Marius’ excitement showed, “Mr. Wade, you are the only outsider whom Miss has truly opened her
heart to in more than three hundred years…”



He quickly clarified, “What I mean is, you are the only adult whom Miss has befriended openly for so
long. The rest of us, her servants, were carefully trusted with her secrets over time.”

Cindy smiled awkwardly, uncertain how to respond to the conversation. He changed the subject, “You
don’t have to call yourself an old servant in front of me. I feel unworthy of such respect.”

Marius disagreed, “No, since enlightenment, I swore to serve as a saddle for Miss, the benefactor of
her life. I can’t ignore proper etiquette.”

He added emotionally, “For nearly ninety years, you’ve been Miss’s only friend… I’m truly happy and
sincerely hope that you and Miss can…”

Maria sensed the inappropriate direction the conversation was taking and interrupted, coughing twice.
“Marius, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Marius quickly explained, “I got a bit carried away in front of your benefactor…”

Then he turned to Cindy and said eagerly, “Please, visit Miss more often. She has been alone for so
many years, without any friends. It gets quite lonely…”

Maria blushed and hurriedly said, “Alright, Marius, go inform Mr. Cole. Ask him to have all the servants
stay in their rooms and not come out. Prepare a car for me, and I’ll take Mr. Wade back.”

Marius promptly replied, “Yes, Miss. I will obey.”

After saluting Cindy once again, he respectfully said, “Mr. Wade, I will take my leave.”

Cindy nodded, saying, “Take care, old man.”

Once Marius had left, Cindy turned to Maria and asked, “Miss Clark, did you name Marius?”



Maria smiled and replied, “Yes, my family named him Marius, which means possessing both ability and
integrity. It’s not about gaining wealth.”

Cindy smiled and continued, “And where did the surname Cross come from?”

Maria explained, “Master, most of the children adopted by my family are nameless and unknown. We
can’t verify their original surnames, and we didn’t want them to be named Clark to avoid any trouble.
So, we wrote down hundreds of surnames on pieces of paper, crumpled them into small balls, and let
the children pick one at random.”

Cindy asked awkwardly, “Is it that random?”

Maria curiously asked, “What other option is there? If we give them names ourselves, what if they don’t
like them when they grow up? Would they blame us? It’s fair and reasonable to let them choose their
own surnames. They get to choose their surname, and we also make it a little game for them. It’s the
best of both worlds.”

Cindy nodded, sensing that Maria, despite her nearly four hundred years of life, still had a youthful
heart. Perhaps, as she had said, she always maintained the mindset and way of life of a young girl.

At that moment, the elderly Marius hurried down the stone steps.

Though his body couldn’t handle the exertion, his excitement made him feel lighter on his feet.

As he reached the ground floor of the main building, he found Larry Cole and Keagan Myers drinking
tea. Larry asked with curiosity, “Marius, why are you running so fast? At your age, you might collapse
right here…”

Marius smiled at them, panting heavily, and said in a trembling voice, “Joyful… A joyful event… A great
joyful event!”



Keagan Myers put down his teacup and teased, “Oh, Marius, are you getting married?”

Marius laughed and scolded, “You really have a way with words!”

After saying that, Jacob came to their tea table and sat down slowly, and said to them seriously, “I
sense a stirring within Miss, as if something profound has touched her heart.”
