Upon hearing this, Elaine was extremely grateful and said, "Oh, my dear son-in-law! You are the best son-in-law in the world! It's truly a blessing for me to be able t o get an awesome son-in-law like you..." 4
Jacob, who was sitting at the side all along, sighed repeatedly. He knew that Charlie had a knack in some way. When he said he would get them, he would. 2
However, it was quite hard for him to swallow when h e thought of Elaine using cosmetics worth hundreds o f thousands of dollars. 3
At this moment, Charlie just happened to say to him," By the way, dad, are you using the car today? I'm kind of in the middle of something today. If you don’t need your car, can you please lend it to me?" 4
Charlie needed to go to the airport to see Quinn off and then rush to Aurous Stadium to watch Aurora’s match. It would be a little inconvenient without a car t o commute around.
Jacob hurriedly said, "Oh. In that case, you can drop m e off at Senior University later. Lunch will be provided there so I won't be home for lunch. I’ll take a taxi back myself after I finish my business there in the afternoon."
Charlie nodded and said, "Then, let's hurry up and eat.
Let’s set off afterward."
Jacob said, "Alright!" 2
Elaine was an average cook.
However, it did not require much skill to make tomato and egg with noodles, so the breakfast she cooked was barely edible.
After breakfast, Charlie and Jacob went out the door i n a hurry and drove away.
As soon as Charlie drove Jacob's BMW out of the house, Jacob lamented, "Hey, Charlie, you're so silly! Why did you promise that b*tch Elaine such an expensive skincare product? Don't you see that she doesn't deserve even a drop of it?"
