In fact, the reason why Jacob asked about the villa was because he wanted to help Charlie.
He knew all about his wife's temperament lately and h e felt as though Elaine was attacking Charlie more lately. Therefore, Jacob was afraid that Elaine would continue being sarcastic as she continued attacking Charlie. 6
In Jacob's eyes, this son-in-law of his really saved his life many times. Therefore, he really treated Charlie as his precious son-in-law now. 4
As the saying goes, a son-in-law was also half a biological son. Jacob could not help but feel a little sorry towards his son-in-law when he saw Charlie getting scolded. 2
However, when Jacob suddenly talked about the villa, Elaine was also immediately distracted!
Elaine looked at Charlie before she blurted out, "Yeah, when will the renovation for the villa finally be completed? When can we move into the villa? After w e move into the villa, I want to leave an empty room so that I can put an automated mahjong machine inside. After that, I can invite my friends over to play mahjong with me then!" 9
Charlie thought to himself: Play mahjong? Do you have any more money to lose? You are going to be
living in a large and luxurious villa worth more than one hundred million dollars, and you want to invite your friends over to play mahjong with you. However, you cannot even afford to lose two thousand dollars! Aren't you ashamed of yourself? 6
Since Charlie could not say these words directly to his mother-in-law, he could only secretly mock her in his heart. 12
As he thought about this, Charlie did not bother to reply his mother-in-law and he simply said, "I saw Zeke earlier today. He said that the renovation for the villa is basically completed and only the furniture and appliances are missing now. If we want to move into the villa, we can look into buying some furniture and home appliances so that we can move into the villa.” 6
“Great!” Jacob was very happy and excited when he heard that they could move into the villa soon.
At this time, Elaine who was standing beside him was also very excited. She laughed before she said, "Okay! Okay! We are finally moving out of this broken old house!” 6
After she was done speaking, she suddenly regained her senses.
