She had never viewed this problem from this angle before, but due to her personality, she was afraid and embarrassed to initiate such motives.After listening to her mother, she felt the anxiousness build up within her.Elaine continued yapping on the side, “Sigh. I used to look down on Charlie thinking that he was nothing but filth and garbage, seemingly useless but after taking a good look, now he does seem very capable! Look at how he controlled all those bigshots! That is what I call talented! Plus, this million-dollar villa is indeed great! The air here is fresh, and it makes you feel energetic! Who knows, maybe in the near future, he might even be able to use his talent and get himself his very own island in the Maldives!”“This…” Claire spoke awkwardly, “Mom, stop daydreaming already.”Elaine replied solemnly, “We need dreams! Who knows, maybe that dream might suddenly come true!”As she was speaking, she suddenly lowered her voice. “You… Quickly go and do the deed with him alre

As Charlie was watching television, Claire suddenly came up to him.When she saw that he was watching television, Claire sat down next to him.After that, Claire hesitated for a moment. Then, she asked him in a low voice, “Charlie, I want to ask you something. You have to answer truthfully, and you shouldn’t lie to me.”Charlie nodded before he said, “Go ahead and ask away, dear.”Claire handed the shopping receipt in her hand to Charlie before she asked him, “Why are there three sets of skincare products written on this receipt? It’s not that I do not trust you. However, I hope that you can just explain the situation to me.”When Charlie saw the shopping receipt, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly realized that Isaac must have placed the shopping receipt directly into one of the gift boxes after purchasing the skincare products. Charlie looked around, and when he saw that Elaine was not there, he whispered, “I will be honest, dear. In truth, Dad is the one who asked for a

While Nanako was visiting her mentor, Kazuki, she heard the news that Victoria, the Australian athlete that Aurora had defeated in the match today, was also currently receiving treatment at the Silverwing Hospital.Hiroshi had specifically gone to inquire about the matter, and he came back with results that truly shocked Nanako.It turned out that both of Victoria’s arms had been broken by Aurora’s kick during the match. Now, she had already put on a plaster cast, and she had already officially announced her withdrawal from the match to determine third place in the competition for the day after tomorrow. Michelle, the opponent that Nanako defeated, had immediately obtained the title of third place in the competition due to Victoria’s forfeiture.Moreover, Victoria not only withdrew from this competition, but there was a high possibility that she would be retiring completely.This was because the arms were very important for a combat and fighting athlete. After getting her arms brok

Jacob did not eat dinner at home that night.According to him, he was having dinner with several leaders of the Calligraphy and Painting Association as well as a few core members of the Senior University.Jacob called Charlie a little after nine o’clock.When Jacob called, Charlie was watching television with his wife in the living room.His mother-in-law, Elaine, had put on a caviar anti-aging facial mask as she lay down on the two-seater sofa in a leisurely manner while she scrolled through her online short video platform. As she was scrolling on her cell phone, she muttered, “Oh! That Japanese girl who came to Aurous Hill to participate in the combat and fighting championship has a pretty good appearance!”Charlie knew that she was definitely talking about Nanako. At this time, he did not say anything, but his cell phone had already started vibrating.When Charlie saw that it was a phone call from Jacob, he hurriedly answered the phone and said, “Hello, Dad.”Jacob sounded a

She was very excited, and she said to Charlie, “My good son-in-law, why didn’t Mom find out that you were so good in the past?”Charlie laughed, but he did not say anything. If he had known that he would be able to deal with a shrewd woman like Elaine simply by spending fifty thousand dollars a month, he would have spent that money a long time ago to save himself from all that trouble.At this time, Elaine was simply thinking of flattering Charlie, and she deliberately said to Claire, “Oh, Claire! You are already getting older, and you have already been married to Charlie for almost four years now. I say, it is also about time for both of you to have children already. Our family of four is living in such a big villa, it is indeed a little lonely and cold here. Wouldn’t it be livelier if there was a child running around in the villa?”As soon as Charlie heard these words, he was indeed very surprised!This was perfect!His mother-in-law truly thought of nothing else other than her
Chapter 1443
Claire never expected Charlie to use money to win her mother over.Even more unexpectedly, the effect of using money to win her mother over seemed to work very well indeed!Claire suddenly felt very embarrassed, and she truly felt like digging a hole and burying herself in it.At this time, when Elaine saw that Claire was not saying anything, she kept urging her from the side, “My good daughter, why don’t I bring you to see that old Oskian doctor tomorrow so that he can prescribe some medicine for you?”Claire felt completely helpless at this time, and she said embarrassedly, “Mom, stop talking nonsense!”Elaine replied solemnly, “How could you say that I am talking nonsense?! I also want to be able to carry my grandson as soon as possible!”Claire knew that if she did not leave now, her mother would definitely talk endlessly. Thus, she pushed Charlie hurriedly and said, “Let’s go and pick Dad up to bring him home now.”Charlie smiled as he nodded and said, “Then, we should go a

Charlie and Claire were still in the car, and they were still some distance away from the group of people. So, they could not hear exactly what they were talking about.However, by the looks of it, it was obvious that Matilda must have asked her son, Paul, to help her prepare a gift for Jacob in exchange.Claire felt even more depressed when she saw both of them exchanging gifts with one another. “Just look at Dad and Aunt Hall! Both of them are obviously acting more than just ordinary friends. They are more like a middle-aged and elderly couple in love!”Charlie nodded gently.He had already noticed a long time ago that both of them had a deep affection for each other. Matilda had even given Paul the middle name ‘Jamal’. This proved that she had never once forgotten about Jacob throughout all this time.As for Jacob, there was nothing else that needed to be said. After being oppressed by Elaine for so many years, he had already been missing and yearning for Matilda for a long tim
Chapter 1445
Jacob thought that he and Charlie were the only two people in the car. Charlie was not only his son-in-law, but he was also the person he trusted the most.Therefore, he was not guarded against Charlie at all. He was also not afraid that Charlie would find out about the things that were going on between him and Matilda.At this moment, as he was unpacking the gift, Jacob sighed as he said, “Oh, my dear son-in-law, do you know how popular your Aunt Hall is at the Senior University? Those who are interested in her range from young people between the age of thirty to forty years old, to old men between the age of sixty to seventy years old. It is simply a huge number, and I cannot count the number of people who like her at all! If I don’t pay more attention to it, I am afraid that the situation will end badly for me, then.”Charlie laughed awkwardly as he tried to change the subject by saying, “Dad, you must have drunk quite a bit during dinner tonight, right? Why don’t you stop talkin
