Wide and radiant smiles were plastered on the in-laws ' faces when Charlie said that he would buy a better car for them tomorrow. 2
What Jacob didn't realize was that he had just missed out on the top-spec 760.
Claire was a little worried. After returning to their room and washing up, she quietly asked, "Do you really still have the money to buy a new car? I have some secret stash here, take it tomorrow!" 1
Charlie waved his hands quickly. "No, I don't need your money. I still have some, it’s enough." 1
Claire mumbled apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know my dad and mom would be like this..." 3
"What are you talking about? Your parents are my parents too. We are a family, I'm glad to be able to shower them with gifts once in a while." 2
Charlie lay on his tiny bed on the floor and said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, I'll go and get a new car for dad tomorrow morning!" 1
Claire smiled warmly. "Thank you, Charlie!" 1
Charlie chuckled. "The pleasure is mine, my dear!"
Claire suddenly blushed when she asked, "Will you be cold at night if you sleep on the floor?” 6
Charlie blurted without a second thought, "No, it's not cold at all. Don't worry, I’m alright!” 3
Claire smacked her lips in annoyance. "Then go ahead and sleep! Dumdum!" 3
She finally had the urge to ask him to sleep in the bed, but the dumdum didn't take her cue... 3
Suddenly, Charlie realized that he seemed to have accidentally missed her point... 1
So he frantically uttered, “Uh, dear, it's so cold, I’m shivering now!" 1
Claire huffed in irritation, "If it's cold, add a quilt!" 4
"Sigh..." 1
