She was very excited, and she said to Charlie, "My good son-in-law, why didn't Mom find out that you were so good in the past?"
Charlie laughed, but he did not say anything. If he had known that he would be able to deal with a shrewd woman like Elaine simply by spending fifty thousand dollars a month, he would have spent that money a long time ago to save himself from all that trouble. 9
At this time, Elaine was simply thinking of flattering Charlie, and she deliberately said to Claire, "Oh, Claire! You are already getting older, and you have already been married to Charlie for almost four years now. I say, it is also about time for both of you to have children already. Our family of four is living in such a big villa, it is indeed a little lonely and cold here. Wouldn’t it be livelier if there was a child running around in the villa?” 9
As soon as Charlie heard these words, he was indeed very surprised!
This was perfect!
His mother-in-law truly thought of nothing else other than her own personal gains.
It seemed as though she had completely bowed down before money now! 7
After all, she used to tell Claire repeatedly that she
should never have a husband and wife relationship with Charlie.
Charlie could still remember that there was even this one time where his mother-in-law had barged into their bedroom early in the morning. It turned out that she had had a dream in which she thought she saw Charlie and Claire doing intimate things that a husband and wife would usually do. Therefore, she was so afraid that she had had to confirm it for herself. 9
There was also another time when Loreen had asked him and his wife to accompany her to the hot springs. After his mother-in-law heard about this matter, she had told Claire not to wear a bikini, and she had also told Claire to sleep in a separate room from him just s o he would not be able to take advantage of her. 6
Still, Charlie would never have dreamt that Elaine would make a one hundred and eighty degree change i n her attitude.
So, he immediately nodded as he said approvingly, " Mom, you are so right! Our family is still short of a child! Oh, no! Two children!"
Elaine chuckled before she said, "If you asked me, I would say that both of you can have three children too! When that happens, I will definitely help both of you to look after your children with all of my heart!”
Charlie smiled before he said, "Mom, when that time comes, I will have to count on you and trouble you!"
