Charlie smiled as he said, "The matter this time was relatively simple. I went over to deal with it, and I came back immediately after that."
Claire asked, "Have you eaten dinner yet? I made some bolognese for dinner tonight. It was quite delicious. Why don’t I cook some spaghetti noodles for you now?" 2
Charlie asked curiously, "Claire, aren't you quite busy these days? Why do you suddenly have so much time today, and you even prepared dinner on your own?"
Claire smiled as she said, "I went to Emgrand Group for a meeting in the afternoon. The first phase of the plan has already passed Emgrand Group's review. So, I could relax a little. It just so happens that I came home early today, and the tomatoes in our garden were growing quite well. So, I picked a few of it and made bolognese pasta." 4
As she spoke, she hurriedly took Charlie's hand as she brought him toward the dining room. As they walked, Claire said, "Your trip was so short this time. So, it must be very tiring for you to travel back and forth. You can sit down first, and I’ll cook the spaghetti noodles for you!"
When he saw that Claire was so concerned about him, Charlie was very touched deep down in his heart. So, h e nodded gently as he smiled and said, "Thank you for the trouble then, wife."
Claire smiled sweetly. "How is that any trouble? It's no trouble at all."
After entering the dining room, Charlie's father-in-law, Jacob, and his mother-in-law, Elaine, had just finished eating. When Jacob saw Charlie entering the dining room, he said joyfully, "Oh! My good son-in-law is back. Where did you go this time? You're back so soon."
Charlie smiled slightly as he thought to himself,' Although I did not leave for too long this time, I traveled a really far distance. A trip to Syria is six thousand kilometers. It is as much as a one and a half round trip from Aurous Hill to Japan.'
But Charlie naturally could not tell his father-in-law that he had gone to Syria. So, he simply smiled as he said, "I went to Lancaster this time. It is not too far away, and it is only a three-hour drive."
"Lancaster..." Jacob asked curiously, "In that case, is your customer this time Travis Lane, the richest man i n Lancaster?"
Charlie decided to make the best out of the situation, and he smiled as he said, "Dad, your guess is really accurate!" 4
Jacob chuckled. "My brain is pretty awesome!"
