Chapter 3 Uncle Charles

He smiled weakly "We have to go inside and then we can solve that so just step in "

He started again "That's what I am talking about, you should go first, he won't shout at you, no matter how angry he is, he loves you more than anyone "

Seriously can't believe my ears

That's impossible! Sure, Dad loves me but not as he is talking

Dad loves him more than me. He hardly shouts at him or gets angry at him.

" In that case, you should go ahead, he loves you more than me, so" I wave my hand towards the door indicating for him to walk

He shakes his head "No! He loves you and will do anything for you "

Jeez he can be such a crybaby

" That's a lie! He loves you more, he always lets you do whatever you want for me there are always rules and regulations "

" That's wrong! He always gives you permission for anything

" Oh really! Last time I checked, he didn't let me go to party and he never let me go to the parties "

He rolls his eyes at me

"They were late-night parties, and as far as I remember, we went to one of your friend's party last Wednesday "

" That's the point, he only allows me to go when you accompany me! I mean, a big girl doesn't need a babysitter,

I can handle myself and there are more certain things that you are allowed and I am not, so you are his favorite child, simple

He frowns " he cares for you, that's why he always does this, what are these things that you are not allowed to enlighten me please,

" he says sarcastically

Damn! This is getting tiring

let out a loud sigh " Okay! So you are allowed to go to late-night parties, go alone on trips,

And dating - he cuts me off with

" Dating ?! He allowed you to date Chris

" Yeah After weeks of begging he was never happy about my relationship with him remember on our break up, he was the most the happiest person on the whole planet "

Yeah Can anyone imagine. My dad celebrated my breakup.

He was about to throw on my misery.

We all settled on a family dinner, which was so grand.

Well according to him, that dinner was to celebrate a huge deal.

As if,

But my dad never celebrated cracking deals was a piece of cake for him

Tony was about to answer when my dad's PA Uncle David interrupted

" What are you both children doing here? Your father is waiting, go in

We both smile.

Uncle David was my dad's very loyal employee for years.

And hesitantly I step into the room first.

It was good to enter, as Dad was so happy, he was laughing with a man of his age..

As soon his eyes land on me his smile grows wider.

" Clair! Come here he indicated to me come.

And I moved towards him happily.

Dad introduced me to that man.

" Clair meat Charles, Charles Willson! My childhood friend and Charles meet Clair my baby girl"

Seriously dad?

'Baby girl'

I'm soon to be 24 years old for crying out loud.

Uncle Charles smiles vibrantly as he is really happy to meet me.

"Time flies! She has grown into such a beautiful lady, last time I saw her she was just 3 "

Oh, so technically it's not our first meeting.

He knows me.

" Nice to meet you Uncle Charles " I answer genuinely as my dad is very happy to meet him

" Yes, dear! Nice to meet you "

And then Tony came beside me happily

Just a minute ago he was ready to run into hills just to avoid this meeting and now

" Charles meet Tony, my son "

Tony greeted him hello uncle! Nice to meet you "

" Oh, my boy! It's nice to see you grow up! "

So it was a family-union-type-of-meeting

We met Uncle Charles and we all had our lunch together

Dad was very happy, they told us about their friendship and our childhood

But due to some business issues, Uncle Charles shifted to Vegas and now after 20 years he is back here

Today, came to know about one more interesting thing, Uncle Charles and Auntie Mary had a love marriage, and Dad and Mom who

happens to be Auntie Mary's best friend, helped them a lot in that time _

But as far know, my parents' wedding was an arranged one

It was really good to meet Charles, he is very loving and caring

Dad was also very happy to meet him and invited him over for dinner tomorrow

Last night was so good _Last night we all went to dinner with Willson family

Well, can't say family though!

heard, that they have a son but he was busy at work, so he passed

Well, I don't care

What I care about was, that Charles and Auntie Mary were so caring and loving

My mom and Aunt Mary were high school friends. On the other hand Dad under

So in a way, it was a reunion of long-lost friends

But I enjoyed it

They told us about their friendship and their school times

Mom told me that Auntie Mary loved me a lot from my birth

She hated to leave back then, if it was for her, she would have taken me with her.

And did I forget to tell you all that, they are going to do business together.

It will benefit both companies and there will be a high increase in the shares of both companies.

This is going to be a great deal, I guess I will be seeing more of uncle charles now and also having more sleepless nights.
