The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1420

Claire leaned in and whispered to Charlie, "What's wrong with Mom? Why is she in the kitchen cooking?” 1

Charlie laughed and said, "Mom said she wanted me t o try her cooking. She said she’s making tomato and egg with noodles."

Claire exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, my mom actually took the initiative to cook. Wonders never cease! I guess she does learn her mistakes and try to correct them." 8

However, Charlie did not share the same opinion. Instead, he felt that this so-called free breakfast was not free. After all, Elaine had to be up to something that she needed his favor for, otherwise, based on her character, she would never have taken the initiative to cook.

Sure enough, at the dining table, as Elaine personally served the noodles for Charlie, she smiled coyly and said, "My dear son-in-law, I have a favor to ask you. I wonder if you will be okay with it?"

Charlie replied, "Mom, please say whatever you want. I won't refuse if it is something reasonable and also within my ability.” 7

Elaine immediately grinned wider and said attentively, "Well, my dear son-in-law. I realized that I look a little pale lately, and my skin no longer glows

like it used to. Look here, not only are there more wrinkles on my face, but the crow's feet also appear to look more pronounced around the eyes. I can literally feel age catching up on me.”

Then, she looked at Charlie with a wide grin. " Recently, I heard that there are these anti-aging cosmetics made from high-quality caviar that is imported from overseas. It is said that the anti-aging effect is particularly good, so much so many famous celebrities use it to get rid of the signs of aging. I want you to buy a set for me, please." s

Upon hearing this, Claire exclaimed out of shock," Mom! The cosmetic set you’re talking about costs over a hundred thousand dollars! We don't have that kind o f money in the house right now! How can you ask Charlie to buy you such expensive cosmetics?! What about the Estee Lauder products that I bought for you earlier? It cost around several thousand dollars too. Is i t not good enough?" 2

Elaine blurted, "Argh, don’t talk to me about Estee Lauder. I suspect that my wrinkles are becoming more visible because of that product.” 6
