When the time came, he would just give her a piece of the gold bar as a gift and let her play with it.
This way, he would not need to worry about Elaine taking the gold bars and selling them for cash.
If this was in the past, it went without saying that Elaine definitely would have brought the gold bar out with her early in the morning tomorrow to sell it.
And before she went out, she probably would have gone into Charlie and Claire's room to steal the other remaining nine pieces of gold bars to sell them together.
But now, Elaine was really much more honest, and her legs were not so convenient. It would not be very realistic for her to want to go out to sell the gold bar.
What's more, she also had to honestly keep the gold bar to prevent herself from being unable to produce the gold bar whenever Charlie wanted to check on it a t a whim.
Therefore, Charlie was giving her a very valuable gift that she could not exchange for money just to hold her state of mind.
When Charlie returned to Thompson First with the ten pieces of gold bars, he saw his wife, Claire, walking out from the garage in the courtyard as soon as he had just entered the gate.
Claire had just driven back and parked her car. When she saw Charlie pushing the door into the courtyard, she said joyfully, "Honey, you're back!"
Charlie looked at her and spoke in a doting and affectionate tone, "I'm back. Did you miss me these few days?"
"Of course I did!" Claire was not shy at all, and she happily ran over and jumped into Charlie's arms. She was very happy, but she also complained a little as she said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back so I could have gone and picked you up at the airport?!"
Charlie laughed and said, "I know that you must have been rather busy with your work, so I did not want you to go through so much trouble to go so far just to pick me up. So, I took a cab home by myself!”
Claire said seriously, “What's so troublesome about me picking you up? You traveled all the way back on a plane and even had to queue for a cab! It must have been very tiring!”
