Chapter 3301

Patricia felt a mix of reluctance and happiness as she prepared to part ways with Charlie.

Jared glanced at Charlie and said, "It's about time for US to board." He tenderly held Nicole's hand and led her toward the boarding gate.

"I need to go through the boarding procedures too," Patricia said, biting her lip. "You must find happiness as well." "I will," Charlie assured her with a gentle smile, giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "You've grown up, too. You don't need to cling to me anymore. I believe Ellar will take great care of you."

Patricia nodded, then, leaning closer to Charlie, she whispered, 'When Mr. Johnston and Ms. Riddle get married, make sure you bring my future sister-in-law back with you.' Caught off guard, Charlie playfully scolded her, "You little rascal."

Doretta, standing not too far away, overheard Patricia's whispered words.

Her cheeks turned even redder.

"Let's go," Patricia announced, then turned to Doretta, adding, "We'll meet again." "Goodbye, have a safe trip," Doretta responded, waving her hand.

After observing everyone complete the boarding procedures and walk through the gate, Charlie faced Doretta. "Let's go."

Doretta, biting her lip, gathered her courage and remarked, "I didn't expect you'd choose to stay."

Charlie looked at her with a fire in his eyes. "There are Max, Seth, and the others in San Joto. They don't specifically need me, so this time, I wanted to make a choice for myself," he explained. It seemed that, previously, he was fine just going with the flow, but now, he desired to have her by his side.

Doretta, feeling shy, looked away. "Let's go, we still have tasks to attend to back home." "Alright," Charlie agreed, and they set off together.

Max went to San Joto airport to pick up only three people. He was surprised to see just them. "Only you guys?" he asked.

"Yes, just us. Charlie isn't coming back," Patricia said, not giving more details.

Max, trying not to be too curious, gently said, "Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, please get in the car. The folks at the Riddle residence are waiting."

After they drove back, Jared and Nicole went inside the Riddle residence, while Max and Patricia left.

Max asked, "What happened? Where's Charlie?" "He's with the Zane group now," was all Patricia said.

Max couldn't hide his shock. "That rascal!" he exclaimed.

Patricia smiled and then said, "I'm off." She wanted to surprise Ellar, who didn't know she was back yet.

At the mansion, Daniel, Gloria, Stanley, Tia, Nolan, and Lana were waiting for Jared and Nicole in the living room.

Seeing their parents, Nolan and Lana ran to hug them. "Mommy! Daddy!" "It's good to see you back," Daniel and Gloria said, relieved and a bit emotional.

The family had been worried. Now that Jared and Nicole were home safe, everyone felt better.

They all sat down. "We're fine, everything's sorted out," Nicole said with a smile, seeing the worry on their faces. Thankfully, there was no longer any need for concern.

"You seem worn out. Was it difficult?" Tia asked Nicole.

"It's just the jet lag. I'll be better after some rest," Nicole assured her.
