"Darling, I bought this for you. Open it and see if you like it!" 2
Feeling shocked, Claire asked, "You bought this for m e? 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?" 9
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." 1
Jacob picked up the suit that Charlie gave him and said, "I won’t quarrel over such matters. I’m going to m y room to try on the suit given to me by my good son-i n-law! There are activities at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so I'll wear this suit to these events! 2
At that moment, Claire was carefully unpacking the gift box.
When she saw a bright crystal diamond ring lying in the jewelry box, she was shocked and covered her mouth! 2
Elaine, who was by the side, widened her eyes several times and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! Such a big diamond?! It should be around three carats, shouldn’t i t?!"
Charlie chuckled and replied, "You have a good eye for things. The main diamond on this ring is 3.2 carats!" 1
"Oh!"
