Chapter 338 Considering Dating Charles?
[Near Dr. Windsor's lab.]
Alexander held his phone and opened the notes app. It read:
[Don't tell them yet. We'll go together.]
Catherine understood that Alexander didn't want to worry the Windsor family, so she nodded in agreement.
Aurora and Brandon were pacing around the dining room like headless chickens.
Brandon had made countless calls, worried that something had happened to George and Emilia.
Catherine's eyes flickered, and she sent a message to Alkaid on her phone.
Soon, Brandon received a message that George had a last-minute experiment.
George's lab was highly confidential, and he never kept his phone on during experiments.
Aurora sighed in relief.
"That kid, he doesn't even call home. Making the whole family wait for him to eat is just not right."
Brandon was still uneasy.
"Charles, go check on George's lab. It's really worrying."
Philip quickly raised his hand. "I'll go too! I have a client meeting near George's lab to pick up some evidence. Big brother, let's go together."
Charles rubbed his temples.
"If you're going, why do I need to make the trip?"
Catherine looked at Charles and spoke up, "Charles, I'm going too."
Charles glanced at Catherine and Alexander in confusion. "Philip and I can handle it. You don't need to come."
Catherine remained calm.
"We're going on a date."
There was a popular dating spot near George's lab, frequented by many young couples.
Hearing this from Catherine, the whole family gave her several looks.
Charles nodded.
Catherine was young, and it was normal for her to be drawn to romantic places. She was probably worried about George, too. Catherine was indeed the kindest and most considerate!
After the commotion that evening, Marcus felt a headache coming on.
"Alright, you go find George. I'm heading upstairs."
Although their marriage was a misunderstanding, Lila and Marcus had been together for many years. It was a superficial marriage, not exactly weathering storms together, but they did torment each other.
Aurora asked with concern, "Dad, should we call Uriah?"
Uriah was the Windsor family's private doctor, living in another building at Starry Residence. A phone call would bring him over.
Marcus waved his hand.
"At my age, having Uriah come over just to tell me things I don't want to hear is pointless!"
Aurora had no choice but to let Richard help Marcus upstairs to rest.
Watching Marcus's slightly hunched back, Aurora felt worried.
"I'll have Uriah come by tomorrow. I can't help but worry about Dad's health."
Brandon said, "Let's not make it complicated. When George is back, he can check on Dad."
Aurora scolded, "That's your father! I don't think it is complicated! Trust me on this!"
Brandon nodded, and the two embraced again.
"Honey, you're so kind, treating my dad so well. I know it's because you love me! I don't know why, but lately, seeing you makes me feel like I'm falling in love all over again. My heart races, and I'm smitten again..."
Watching the couple, Philip felt uncomfortable.
"Catherine, let's go. Juniper, you too."
Seeing scenes like this often, Philip worried Catherine might find it unbearable.
After their trip abroad, Brandon and Aurora's relationship had only grown stronger.
The Windsor children deeply felt that their parents were the true love story, and they were just the unexpected results!
[At George's lab]
Charles parked the car by the roadside, and Philip jumped out.
Seeing Philip's colorful clothes gave Charles a headache.
A floral shirt with a bright tie, the top button always undone, he looked like a playboy.
His casual wide-leg pants had large metal rings, and with his righteous yet occasionally roguish face, Charles felt uncomfortable!
They were all Windsor children, so why did Philip like such strange clothes?
"Philip, can't you dress normally?"
"Charles, I'm not going to court. I'll wear what I like."
Philip only wore proper suits when in court; otherwise, he dressed however he pleased.
Juniper chimed in, "Philip looks good in anything he wears."
Philip joked, "Even a plastic bag?"
Juniper actually imagined that scene!
Thinking of Philip's face, often seen in court, wearing a plastic bag, Juniper couldn't help but laugh out loud!
Seeing her laugh, Philip smiled too.
He had been worried that Juniper might dwell on the events of the evening.
Seeing her smile, Philip felt relieved.
Philip waved to Gabriella, who was standing by the roadside. "Gabriella, over here!"
Gabriella wore a light blue dress and a small round hat, looking elegant and refined.
Philip got out and chatted with Gabriella.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Windsor, for coming all this way."
"No problem. Charles and I were just coming to see George, so it's on the way!"
"With... Charles?"
Since the last time at the hospital, Gabriella hadn't seen Charles.
Charles's social media was sparse, with a family photo of the Windsor family as the background. Charles stood in the back with his brothers, while his sisters sat in the front row with the elders.
The only post was celebrating the Evergreen Group's listing.
Gabriella didn't know why, but she had saved Charles's silhouette photo used as his profile picture!
The photo was unmistakably Charles.
Sitting in his office under the light, with a vast blue seascape outside the large window.
Charles's strong profile resembled a Greek statue, every line perfect. The Windsor children were all strikingly handsome, and as the eldest, Charles had an added maturity and steadiness that made him unforgettable.
Philip didn't suspect anything. "Yes, Charles drove. You've met Charles. He's single, you know. Why not consider him?"
Gabriella was startled, thinking Charles had told Philip about their past.
But then Philip said, "I've tried setting Charles up several times, but he's not interested!"
... So he was casting a wide net.
Gabriella smiled demurely, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
She made an excuse, "I don't like big families."
Philip, surprisingly serious, replied, "I can die, and my other family members can die too!"
