“Darling, I bought this for you. Open it and see if you like it!”Feeling shocked, Claire asked, “You bought this for me? Darling, it’s your hard-earned money. Normally, you don’t even spend on yourself. But once you’re outside, you always buy things for me…” Elaine, who was standing beside her, quickly said, “Silly girl. Charlie loves you, cares for you, and pampers you. He’s a good man! Look at your dad, this old stingy man—since when has he ever bought me something valuable?”Jacob answered angrily, “You’re in control of the household finances. I have no money, so how could I possibly buy you things?”Elaine quipped, “Nonsense! Despite other husbands having no money too, they would still try their best to give their wives things. What about you? Don’t tell me you’ve never secretly kept some money after so many years? Don’t use having no money as an excuse.” Jacob picked up the suit that Charlie gave him and said, “I won’t quarrel over such matters. I’m going to my room to t

At this time, Claire was already moved to tears.She was also overwhelmed with emotions when she looked back on all those years that she had been married to Charlie. Back then, Claire could not understand why her grandfather had insisted on her getting married to Charlie. Her whole family had also strongly opposed their marriage but her grandfather used his sovereignty to make her compromise and give in.However, since it was a forced marriage, Claire had misunderstood the concept of a marriage from the very beginning.After getting married to Charlie, the marriage that she understood was simply for her to obey and abide by her grandfather’s request and act dutifully as Charlie’s wife. They had both continued to live together like that. It did not matter whether they were suited for each other, or whether they liked each other.Therefore, they had both been living very respectfully towards one another for a very long time. In fact, even though they were legally married, they were

Charlie knew that his wife was a very shy woman. Furthermore, she did not have much experience in this aspect. So, how would she possibly be able to tolerate Elaine’s teasing then?So, Charlie hurriedly said, “Mom, Claire is a very shy person. You should stop teasing her and making fun of her.”Elaine smiled before she said, “Claire, did you see that? Charlie is always thinking of you and looking out for you!”After she spoke, Elaine stretched a little before she said, “I am not going to chat with both of you anymore. I have to go inside and take pictures of my bracelet now. You two should rest earlier too!”As she was speaking, Jacob suddenly walked out of the elevator dressed in his new Boss suit.As soon as he saw the three of them, he hurriedly made a few turns in front of the elevator with a smug look on his face. After that, he smiled as he said, “Look! I still have some foundation, right? This suit is simply tailor-made for me. I am already in my fifties but I did not put o

If it weren’t because Charlie had overheard the conversation that Isaac had with his aunt over the phone on the way home, Charlie would have really believed that this woman on the other end of the line was really being so enthusiastic from the bottom of her heart.So, Charlie also pretended to be very surprised as he smiled and said, “Aunt! Is it really you? Why did you suddenly think of calling me?”Carmen actually did not want to call Charlie at all.In fact, she had originally passed on the order to Isaac, asking him to directly inform Charlie to go to Shangri-La for dinner tomorrow.However, Lord Wade had specifically come to look for her a while ago to ask her to personally make a phone call to Charlie.That way, it would seem as though she was more sincere. After all, Carmen and Charlie had not seen each other for so many years. A phone call in advance to get in touch with one another was also tantamount to warming up to one another in advance then. Lord Wade felt that it wo

The next day, Claire woke up early before going to the company to work.After eating the breakfast prepared by Elaine, Charlie spent the whole day thinking about Carmen.Ever since Stephen found him, the Wade family had never shown up or appeared directly in his life.As for Charlie, he really enjoyed and liked this situation where he did not have to deal with anyone from the Wade family at all.However, if Carmen was going to break the silence between him and the Wade family this time, then this could only mean that the Wade family had already begun their plan to try and win him over. No matter what it was and no matter what their intentions were, they did not want Charlie to continue remaining in Aurous Hill.Even if he were to reject and turn down his aunt’s request after meeting her today, the Wade family would not give up just like that.It seemed as though the Wade family would become a long-term trouble for him in future.***At 5.30 pm, Charlie told his mother-in-law, E

Charlie stepped into the dining area of Shangri-La.The huge dining area at Shangri-La was indeed very empty today.Most of the waiters had also been evacuated. According to Isaac, he was afraid that Carmen would get upset and frustrated if he left too many waiters working at the dining area.Charlie walked through the outer dining area before he reached the Sky Garden, which was in the center of the dining area. At this time, all eighty-eight banquet tables in the Sky Garden’s banquet hall had already been completely removed and there was only one exquisite Western-style dining table left in the center of the hall.Charlie did not even need to think about it to know that his aunt must have been the person who had instructed them to remove all eighty-eight banquet tables and chairs.So, he could not help but feel a little dissatisfied and disgusted.Although Charlie had not met his aunt yet, his aunt’s excessive and extravagant style of doing things really made him feel very disg

Isaac was following closely beside Carmen with a very respectful attitude.When Charlie was still a few metres away from her, Carmen smiled and said, “Oh, Charlie! I have not seen you for so many years. You have grown up into such a fine young boy now!”Charlie looked at Carmen and he could recall some remnants of the memories that he had from his childhood by looking at her face.So, Charlie laughed slightly before he said, “I’m going to be twenty-seven years old soon. I’m no longer a young boy!”Carmen had a very doting and affectionate look on her face as she smiled and said, “Oh! You really look so much like your father! You are really a chip off the old block!”Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, “Aunt, it seems as though you’ve not changed much from how you were in the past.”Carmen laughed before she said, “More than ten to twenty years have already passed by in the blink of an eye. I’m about to turn fifty soon, so how can I possibly still look the same as I was befo

“Go home to take a look?”Charlie could not help but laughed when he heard Carmen’s words.When Carmen saw the fake laughter on his face, she said, “Charlie, you left home when you were so young, so it’s about time that you come home now. You aren’t young anymore. You’ve already been away from home for so many years, so it’s about time for you to come home and take a look.”Charlie nodded in agreement as he said, “You’re right. Since I’ve already left home for such a long time, I should really make some time to go back and have a look then.”As he spoke, he smiled before he said, “Well, if that is the case, then I’ll arrange a time at a later date. I will go back and visit home if I have time.”Charlie seemed to have already agreed to Carmen’s proposal, but in fact, he was simply trying to delay time.If he were to say that he was going to arrange a time to pay a visit after a period of time, then that was basically tantamount to the far and distant future. Anyway, he simply want
