“I was very direct, of course, and I think it was good to talk to Lewis. I think it’s always necessary to do so after a moment like this. All of this had acquired too large dimensions and had stretched out too long over time. And at the same time, it has been a very special week for me (because he was a father), so I hadn’t been able to have those conversations before. And it was important to have thembut now I consider that it is a closed chapter and I think it will be important to look forward,” concluded Charles.
