The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Maria found herself perpetually puzzled by Benita’s unexpected kindness.

Ever since the night when the ring transported Benita to the upper courtyard of Zilian Villa, his demeanor towards her had shifted drastically. Not only had he generously shared his elixirs, but he also extended the gift of longevity to Marius and others. He even set aside all his pressing matters to journey alongside her to the southern province.

As for Maria, her intention was simply to visit Erlang Mountain to honor her parents. But Benita’s actions surpassed all expectations, he purchased the Celestial Group, the proprietors of Erlang Mountain. What’s more, he planned extensive renovations, ensuring a future where he could pay his respects to his parents.

For Maria, who possessed vast wealth herself, Benita’s actions transcended monetary value. His attentiveness and careful consideration indicated a deep concern for her. Her instincts didn’t mislead her, Benita held a genuine regard for her.

The debt of a life saved was only one factor, the more time they spent together, the more Benita’s sympathy for her three centuries of turmoil grew.

This empathy, she realized, could easily morph into something deeper, an aching distress.

Maria, who had lived for over three centuries, cherished one essential desire when it came to honoring her parents. She yearned to stand beside their resting place, touch the earth with her own hands, and exchange silent words with them. She craved closure, a chance to reconcile and to make up for the lost years.

After kneeling on the ground, sharing her heart with her parents for around half an hour, Maria stood up. A knowing smile graced her lips as she gazed down at the darkened earth beneath her feet.

She turned to Benita and said, “My Benita, let’s depart.”

“It’s growing late,” Benita replied, his voice soft and considerate. “If you wish to spend more time here with your parents, perhaps we should rest for the night. I can set up the tent from the car.”

“Don’t trouble yourself,” Maria responded, her gratitude evident. “While I’d love to linger with my parents, I can’t bear to have you accompany me through nights of eating and sleeping outdoors. Besides, my lineage remains nameless. How could I impose the duty of guarding ancestral spirits upon you? I’ll return here alone in due time.”

Benita dismissed her hesitation. “No need for formality. I don’t require rest, and the setting matters little. It’s late, and we should find lodging or perhaps camp in Poole City.”
