The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 3059

After sending Yule and Rachel to Shangri-La and entrusting them over to Isaac so that he could host them, Charlie then drove back to his Thompson First villa.

At this time, it was only around two in the afternoon. Charlie had thought that his wife, Claire, would not be done until about three or four o'clock in the afternoon. So, he figured that he would go home first before going to pick her up when she was almost done.

However, unexpectedly, when Charlie arrived at home, his wife, Claire, his father-in-law, Jacob, and his mother-in-law, Elaine, were all already busy in the kitchen.

When Charlie saw that Claire was actually at home, he asked in surprise, "Wife, when did you come home? Why didn't you tell me so that I could go and pick you up?"

Claire smiled and said, "I sped up my progress a little. I arrived home at two o’clock in the afternoon. I came back earlier because I wanted to prepare a birthday dinner for you today."

Elaine was holding a huge king crab with both of her hands. As she placed it into the steamer, she smiled a s she said to Charlie, "My good son-in-law, I'll prepare

a big feast for you tonight. Look at this big crab. One of these costs more than three thousand dollars!”

When Claire, who was aside, saw that Elaine was about to steam the crabs, she hurriedly said, "Oh, Mom! You cannot steam the crab now. It's not even three o'clock yet and it is still a long time before dinner! If you steam the crab now, it will not taste good anymore when it is time for dinner!"

Elaine asked in surprise, "Then why did you come back so early and ask us to start cooking?"

Claire said helplessly, "We have to do all the preparatory work first. Brush the crab clean and put it inside the bucket. It is also the same for the other ingredients. We should prepare all the ingredients for the stir-fry and cooking, and then, we can start cooking when it’s almost time for dinner to ensure the taste."

Elaine said resentfully, "Sigh. I thought that we would just start cooking now. Aren't we steaming the crab in the pot directly? Do we still need to wash it first?"

"Of course we have to wash it first." Claire said, "At the very least, take a brush and brush the dirt off the surface of the crab before rinsing it with water a few times."

Elaine curled her lips. "I don't dare to brush this thing. It's covered in thorns. If it were to prick me again... I think it's better to let your father clean up the seafood instead." 3
