When Claire saw her mother’s excited and flattering appearance in front of Charlie, she immediately felt helpless, and she could not help but mutter, "Mom... Why are you suddenly feeling so refreshed and excited as soon as Charlie comes back?"
Elaine hurriedly said, "Nonsense! I'm not suddenly feeling refreshed. It's just because I've been going crazy out of boredom over the past few days, and I’ve been waiting for my good son-in-law to come back so that I can cook for him!"
Claire sighed and said, "There’s not even an egg left in the kitchen. So, what are you going to cook for Charlie?"
"Ahh? Is that so?" Elaine was surprised and asked," Are there no vegetables left in the refrigerator either?"
Claire rolled her eyes and said, "There were only two small cabbages left and so, I asked Dad to use it to cook his noodles in the morning."
Elaine cursed angrily, "That d*mn Jacob Wilson! Who gave him the right to eat the cabbages that I bought?! This is really outrageous!”
Claire rubbed her temples and said, "Mom... That cabbage was almost rotten... Dad said that it would already be spoiled if he did not eat it..."
Elaine hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Forget
it. Let's order some food, then. Claire, you should hurry up and order a lot of delicious food!"
After saying that, Elaine then smiled at Charlie and said, "Charlie, you must be feeling exhausted after being away from home for so many days now, right? Come. Hurry up and sit on the sofa to rest!"
Claire could not help but feel a little helpless after feeling the difference in treatment. However, she could not be bothered to argue with her mother. So, she took out her cell phone, opened up the food delivery app, and started looking for food.
Elaine hurriedly asked Charlie to sit down on the sofa before she served him tea and water. Charlie tried to stop her from getting so busy several times, but she was simply unwilling to do so. She continued holding onto her crutches as she brewed a cup of tea for Charlie.
After handing the cup of brewed tea to Charlie, Elaine then smiled and asked, "Charlie, how was your trip to Eastcliff this time? Did everything go smoothly?"
"Everything went pretty smoothly," Charlie replied casually.
Elaine then hurriedly asked, "Oh! You must have made a lot of money this time too, right?!"
