The Amazing son in law Chapter 7479

Just moments ago, she had told Stephen Thompson that she wanted to spend charlie’s birthday with him before disappearing from his life. But suddenly, she recalled the concert held on his birthday that year, and the more she thought about it, the more something felt off.

Stephen Thompson was also slightly taken aback—he hadn’t expected Claire to ask such a question.

After a moment of reflection, he sighed and said, “Since Mrs. Wade has asked, I will answer honestly. Miss Sun’s parents and the young master’s parents were close friends. From childhood, both families had arranged an engagement between Miss Sun and the young master. Miss Sun has always believed she is his fiancée. Even though the young master disappeared years ago, she has held firmly to that belief.”

Claire was stunned—not by the answer itself, but by the intense discomfort it brought her.

It wasn’t just the fact that charlie had hidden his identity and past from her. What truly unsettled her was the realization that he and Stefanie sun already knew each other. Otherwise, how could he have taken her to dinner with Stefanie sun?

At this moment, Claire’s emotions grew even more tangled.

She could somewhat understand charlie’s reasons for hiding his past. But what she couldn’t accept was that he had met his betrothed and even brought her along—while she remained completely in the dark.

She knew her own identity and background didn’t match charlie’s. Even her grandfather had only been a servant in the Wade family. On the other hand, charlie not only came from the prestigious Wade family, but his mother’s An family far surpassed even that.

The distance between them felt like the geographical concept of the antipode—the exact opposite point on the Earth. It represented the greatest possible distance between two people.

And when she thought about Stefanie sun again, even Claire had to admit—she was a better match for charlie.

Not only did she have a prominent family background, but their families had been close for generations. They grew up together, and they were engaged. No matter how she looked at it, Stefanie sun seemed far more suited to charlie than she ever could be.

Claire’s mood suddenly sank to a new low. In front of Stefanie sun, she felt deeply inferior. How could she possibly compare to someone like her?

If that was the case, what was the point of her marriage to charlie?

When she married him, she hadn’t truly loved him.

But because she had made a promise to her grandfather, she had never considered divorce. She was determined to honor that promise, no matter what.

Looking back now, it felt more like she had been fulfilling her grandfather’s final wish.

At the beginning of their marriage, she had clearly told charlie in private that she was only marrying him because of her grandfather’s request, and that they would not live as husband and wife. If charlie agreed, she would have no objection. If he disagreed, she wouldn’t force him.

In truth, when she said that, she had hoped charlie would back out on his own. But to her surprise, charlie agreed without hesitation. Even though he had to sleep on the floor for years after they married, he never complained or overstepped any boundaries.

Over the years, Claire’s feelings for charlie slowly developed from indifference to warmth. Her emotions toward him had gradually deepened, yet she always thought of him more like family, unsure whether what she felt was truly love.

But at this moment, her heart ached deeply.

And it was in that moment that she realized—somewhere along the way, she had already developed feelings for charlie. She didn’t know exactly when it began… but love had already taken root in her heart.
