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." 2
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 set of those skincare products." 3 "My dad?!" Claire was a little dumbfounded, and she
asked, "My dad is already an old man. Why would he want one of these top-notch skincare products?” 5
Charlie smiled awkwardly before he said, "I should not be telling you this, but no matter what it is, you are still my wife. So, I cannot lie to you about this matter. However, you have to promise me that you will not go and confront Dad about this matter after I tell you about it."
Claire glanced at Charlie and said, "You do not want m e to confront my dad about this matter, but what if you are lying to me? What if you are just making Dad your scapegoat?" 5
Charlie hurriedly replied, "Dear, do you honestly think that your husband is that kind of person? I have always been the kind of person who dares to bear the responsibility for my own actions. If so, why would I use Dad as my scapegoat?"
