The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2208

However, she had only just discovered that Charlie was not home after she had arrived.

It turned out that Charlie had already left for Japan because of an emergency a few days ago and had not returned yet.

This made Loreen feel a little lost and despondent. Her originally happy and ecstatic mood instantly dimmed a lot.

In fact, Loreen had actually been a little hesitant when Claire and her family had invited her to stay and join them for lunch just half an hour ago. She felt that since Charlie was not at home, she would only be wasting an opportunity to get closer to Charlie if she were to stay at Claire’s house for lunch today. 3

She was thinking of telling them that she would just visit them again another day, but Loreen could not turn them down because Claire had been very enthusiastic, and she finally agreed to stay for lunch with them.

However, Loreen would never have expected Charlie t o come home even before they had started eating their meal!

Therefore, Loreen was looking at Charlie with a very excited look on her face at this moment.

Jacob and Elaine were both naturally very happy to

see that Charlie had already come home. 2

Jacob's Calligraphy and Painting Association had been on break for the past few days. Jacob had been facing Elaine at home every day, and he was already extremely annoyed and frustrated. Therefore, he was very happy to see that Charlie was already home.

As for Elaine, she was even happier. As soon as she saw Charlie, she said happily, "Oh! My good son-in-law, you are finally home after so many days. Do you know how much I have missed you over the past few days?"

Elaine could not stop her eyes from looking at Charlie's hands as she spoke.

When Charlie traveled to other places recently, he had always brought all kinds of high-end and luxurious gifts back home for her. So, Elaine was looking forward to seeing what kind of gift Charlie would bring back for her this time. 6

However, Charlie’s hands were empty at this time, and it looked as though he had not prepared a gift for her this time.

Elaine could not help but feel somewhat disappointed, but she was too embarrassed to show it. After all, her attitude toward Charlie had already changed drastically compared to how it was before.
