Female Novel
Chapter 5201
Charlie caught sight of Yuhiko Ito and was impressed by his remarkable condition. Yuhiko’s ability toregain the use of his legs was akin to being reborn, and it made him appreciate every moment evenmore.
As soon as he spotted Charlie, Yuhiko’s enthusiasm and respect were palpable.
He bounded over to greet Charlie and even poured him a cup of tea and a glass of water.
Despite his composure, Yuhiko couldn’t conceal his excitement.
Meanwhile, Tanaka Koichi was the epitome of respect, bowing at a ninety-degree angle.
Charlie greeted the duo warmly, taking a keen interest in their abode.
With a grin, he remarked, “I’ve been living in Thompson for ages, yet this is the first time I’ve set foot inthis towering structure.
The grandiose floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, offering stunning views of the rolling riveroutside – it’s truly remarkable! Mr. Tanaka has a discerning eye.”
Tanaka Koichi replied with utmost respect, “Mr. Wade, I had originally hoped to purchase the top floor.
Unfortunately, a lady beat me to it just minutes before I could.
If only I had been able to secure the topmost level, the vista would have been even more breathtaking!”novelbin
Charlie nodded, his smile unwavering.
“Well, this view is still pretty darn good.
If only I had known of its beauty earlier, I would have made it a point to purchase a unit here.”
Nanako Ito chimed in, “Mr. Wade, you’re welcome to come visit us anytime in the future.
I’ll ask Tanaka-san to program your fingerprint into the lock system so you can make yourself at home.
And if we’re not here, feel free to come up and enjoy the place to yourself for a while.”
Charlie was taken aback, unsure whether to accept or politely decline the generous offer.
Sensing his hesitation, Tanaka swiftly interjected, “Mr. Wade, there’s really no need to go through thehassle of adding your fingerprints.
The door password is simply Miss’s birthday.”
Charlie glanced over at Nanako and suddenly realized how little he knew about her.
Although they had known each other for quite some time, they never really had a chance to talk abouttheir personal lives.
Charlie wasn’t one to fuss over birthdays, sometimes even forgetting to celebrate his own, and Nanakohad never disclosed hers to him.
Nanako was aware that Charlie had no clue when her birthday was.
Feeling a little bashful, she admitted, “Mr. Wade, my birthday only comes around once every fouryears…”
It suddenly clicked in Charlie’s mind, and he exclaimed, “Ah, I know! February 29th!”
Nanako beamed at him, her eyes shining with affection.
“You’re right! Do you want to know what year I was born?”
Charlie quickly interjected, “No need, no need.
I already know.”
Tanaka chimed in, chuckling, “Seems like Mr. Wade is already well-versed in the door password!”
At that moment, Yuhiko Ito’s younger sister, Emi, emerged with an impressive spread of Japanesecuisine.
Clad in a beautiful kimono, she walked up to Charlie and bowed respectfully with her hands claspedtogether.
“Mr. Wade, I’ve prepared the finest Japanese delicacies for you,” Emi declared.
“From top-tier seafood like sea urchin, oysters, sea bream, and bluefin tuna, everything is of thehighest quality and currently available in the Japanese market.
I guarantee you’ll love it.”
Yuhiko Ito chimed in, a smile lighting up his face, “Mr. Wade, Emi is a master of sashimi.
Her attention to detail when it comes to ingredients surpasses that of even the so-called Michelin three-star chefs.
The ingredients she uses on a daily basis are likely beyond what those Michelin chefs could everdream of encountering.”
Yuhiko Ito gestured towards the exquisite plate of tuna sashimi and explained to Charlie, “Mr. Wade,this sashimi is made from the meat of the bluefin tuna’s cheeks.
This fish can fetch a staggering three million dollars at auction, but even a tiny amount of meat from itsgills costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
When converted, a single slice of this fish can cost tens of thousands of dollars, making it a delicacythat not even the best Michelin-starred restaurants can procure.”
Yuhiko wasn’t exaggerating, in Japan’s luxurious society, the prices of top-tier products could soar tomind-boggling heights.
The highest auction record for a bluefin tuna stood at several million dollars, and the majority of itsmeat typically ended up in hig
