By midday, Deana, Fitz, and Zara had already sat down for a satisfying lunch.

Fitz took the opportunity to spruce himself up, trading in his scruffy beard for a clean-shaven look and tying back his unruly mane.

The transformation was striking, making him appear more composed and razor-sharp.

Meanwhile, Zara sat perched on the sofa, keeping a watchful eye on the yard, eagerly anticipating Charlie’s arrival.

When his BMW pulled up to the gate, Zara’s face lit up with joy, and she immediately hollered to her family, “Mr. Wade’s here!”

Without missing a beat, she sprang up from the couch and darted to the door.

Deana and Fitz followed closely behind, eager to greet their visitor.

As Charlie emerged from the car, he found Deana, Fitz, and Zara eagerly awaiting his arrival at the door.

With a bashful smile, Zara unlatched the iron grille door and greeted him with a respectful tone, “Mr. Wade, you’re here!”

Likewise, Fitz piped up, his tone equally polite, “Mr. Wade…”

Deana, however, remained reserved, she approached Charlie with cautious warmth, speaking kindly, “Charlie, you’re here.

Come on in, quickly!”

In turn, Charlie dipped his head in a sign of deference, his words respectful, “Hello, Auntie.
