Chapter 1631
Charlie was already a little numb to Loreen’s unabated love confession towards him at this point.So, he simply treated it as though Loreen was just joking with him. He changed the subject and asked her, “By the way, your cousin Dylan must be cycling now. So, where is he now?”Loreen pouted her lips in disappointment. She knew very well that Charlie had been avoiding her when it came to all these emotional matters. So, she had already gotten accustomed to Charlie’s attitude. When she saw he was simply changing the topic, she followed suit as she said, “I heard that he had already arrived at Johnsrines Bay this morning. However, I heard he came down with a cold after sleeping under a bridge last night.”Charlie said with a faint smile, “When he arrives at Aurous Hill, his physical fitness would have already improved abundantly.”Loreen chuckled as she said, “To be honest, your punishment might be a good thing for him. My cousin is usually very arrogant and domineering. He would ofte

Loreen laughed as she said, “I got it!”Claire smiled and said, “It so happens that I have nothing on today. I will drive to the airport to pick both of you up later.”“Okay then!” Loreen smiled as she said. “I will have to trouble my beautiful friend to make a trip to the airport then.”Claire laughed as she said, “Why are you being so polite with me? Besides that, I am not going to the airport just to pick you up. I want to fetch Charlie too.”Loreen replied, “Okay then. I know that you want to fetch Charlie, and you are only picking me up on the way, right?”Claire smiled and said, “Yes!”“Okay, okay.” Loreen replied helplessly, “I am already very satisfied that you can also pick me up on the way!”Claire replied, “Then I will not talk to both of you anymore. See you at the airport later!”“Okay!”…After a two hours’ flight, the plane landed smoothly at Aurous Airport.When Charlie and Loreen came out of the airport together, they saw Claire who was already waiting there

After they left the airport, Charlie drove Claire’s BMW and sent Loreen back to the Shangri-La first.On the way back, Claire wanted to invite Loreen to stay in their villa again. However, Loreen refused to do so.Although Loreen would be able to get closer to Charlie if she stayed in the villa at Thompson First, she was afraid of Elaine and Jacob. Both of them were really scary and could change a person’s view when they started fighting with one another. It was really awkward to sight such a scene from the standpoint of a bystander.Besides that, Loreen always felt as though there was still a ticking time bomb in the Wilson family.That time bomb was none other than Jacob’s first love, Matilda.Elaine did not know anything about Matilda, and yet she could already have such intense fights and arguments with Jacob. If she found out about her, then there would certainly be even more drama at their house.Therefore, she felt that she should not stay in the villa at Thompson First so

As he was speaking, Charlie suddenly recalled something and he hurriedly said, “By the way, wife. After coming back this time, I will just rest for a day or two. After that, I have to travel to Japan as soon as possible. I already told you the last time that there is also a client in in Japan who keeps urging me to go over there.”Claire nodded before asking him, “How long will you be gone for? New Year is only about half a month away and many units have already started to prepare for the holiday. Maybe you can rest for a while before you resume working after New Year.”Charlie smiled as he said, “I have already promised the other party that I will be going over there so how can I stand them up at the last minute then? You can rest assured that I will be done in a few days’ time. In fact, Japan is not too far away from Oskia. If I fly to Japan directly from Aurous Hill, the trip will only take me about two hours.”“Okay then…” Claire nodded slightly before she said, “Then, you have

Charlie smiled indifferently when he saw the eager expression on Elaine’s face. After opening the rear car door, he took out a bunch of Hermes gift boxes from inside.When Elaine saw so many Hermes boxes, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise. Even her eyes were also shining brightly at this time.Deep down filled with excitement, she could not help but exclaim. ‘Oh my god! It’s Hermes! Hermes bags are all too expensive. Charlie might not be willing to buy it for me. However, even a Hermes scarf already costs tens of thousands of dollars!’So, Elaine came forward excitedly. While covering her mouth in joy, she said, “Oh! Oh! It’s Hermes! My good son-in-law, you are too generous! What did you buy for your mother from Hermes?”Charlie picked out a few different sized gift boxes. He handed them over to Elaine as he said, “Mom, the big one is a Hermes bag that matches your temperament perfectly. Why don’t you see if you like it?”When Elaine heard that it was a bag, she jumped in exci

Charlie nodded as he said, “About twenty to thirty thousand dollars.”“Oh! My son-in-law, you are really too generous! You even bought me such an expensive scarf! I can already buy a mink coat with twenty to thirty thousand dollars!” After that, Elaine opened the other gift box before she exclaimed, “Oh! This is a classic Hermes belt for women! My good son-in-law, I’ve loved this belt for several years but I’ve been feeling very reluctant to buy it. I really didn’t expect you to fulfil my dreams for me…”Jacob, who was standing aside, felt a little envious and jealous. He could not help but ask, “My good son-in-law, didn’t you prepare any gifts for your dad then?”Charlie smiled as he said, “Of course, I did! I prepared a few gifts for you.”As he spoke, Charlie handed two Hermes gift boxes over to Jacob.Slapping his thighs in joy, Jacob said excitedly, “Oh! You prepared gifts for me too! You are really my good son-in-law!”As soon as his voice fell, Jacob pranced forward and

When Jacob showed off the Rolex watch which he received from Matilda to Charlie in the car, Claire had also been sitting in the back seat.So, she understood the reason why her father was asking Charlie for a Rolex watch at this time. It was just a formality, mainly because he wanted to look for an opportunity to openly wear the Rolex watch that Matilda had given to him.At this moment, although Claire felt a little uncomfortable, she could only turn a blind eye to the situation when she recalled the pasts of her father and mother, and all the grievances that her father had suffered and endured over the years.However, Claire really did not expect her mother to join in the fun at this time. She even asked Charlie to buy her a Rolex watch.She hurriedly told Elaine, “Mom, Rolex watches are usually worn by men. It will not look good on you. If you really like watches, then I can just buy a female Tissot watch for you later.”Elaine replied in disgust, “Don’t even think of fooling me

Claire said gratefully, “Thank you, husband but in future, you should not spend so lavishly on me like this…”Charlie knew that Claire certainly would not be able to accept such pricey gifts. So, he simply smiled and said, “Okay, I understand. I will buy you much more affordable gifts in future.”…After going into the house, Elaine hurriedly placed all the Hermes gifts that Charlie had given to her over the floors in the living room.While displaying the gifts and package boxes nicely, she took out her cell phone to take various pictures from different angles.Then, she chose nine pictures that she was most satisfied with and immediately uploaded those pictures on her social media with the caption: “My good son-in-law went to work in Eastcliff and he gave me so many Hermes as gifts after coming home! I am extremely happy!”Likes and comments surged on Elaine’s social media account in an instant. Seeing many women hurling envious and bitter comments on her post, she could not hel
