The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1439

As Charlie was watching television, Claire suddenly came up to him.

When she saw that he was watching television, Claire sat down next to him.

After that, Claire hesitated for a moment. Then, she asked him in a low voice, "Charlie, I want to ask you something. You have to answer truthfully, and you shouldn't lie to me."

Charlie nodded before he said, "Go ahead and ask away, dear."

Claire handed the shopping receipt in her hand to Charlie before she asked him, "Why are there three sets of skincare products written on this receipt? It's not that I do not trust you. However, I hope that you can just explain the situation to me." 2

When Charlie saw the shopping receipt, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly realized that Isaac must have placed the shopping receipt directly into one of the gift boxes after purchasing the skincare products.

Charlie looked around, and when he saw that Elaine was not there, he whispered, "I will be honest, dear. In truth, Dad is the one who asked for a set of those skincare products." 3 "My dad?!" Claire was a little dumbfounded, and she

asked, "My dad is already an old man. Why would he want one of these top-notch skincare products?" 5

Charlie smiled awkwardly before he said, "I should not be telling you this, but no matter what it is, you are still my wife. So, I cannot lie to you about this matter. However, you have to promise me that you will not go and confront Dad about this matter after I tell you about it."

Claire glanced at Charlie and said, "You do not want me to confront my dad about this matter, but what if you are lying to me? What if you are just making Dad your scapegoat?" 5

Charlie hurriedly replied, "Dear, do you honestly think that your husband is that kind of person? I have always been the kind of person who dares to bear the responsibility for my own actions. If so, why would I use Dad as my scapegoat?"

Claire nodded before she said, "Okay, then. I promise that I will not confront Dad about this matter. Tell me, what exactly is going on here?"

Charlie explained, "Well, didn't Mom ask me if I could get this brand of skincare products for her this morning? I promised that I would get it for her. While I was driving with Dad, he asked me if I could get him a n extra set so that he could give it to Aunt Hall." 5

"Aunt Hall?" Claire exclaimed, "Are you talking about his first love, Aunt Matilda Hall?!" 6 "That's right." Charlie smiled before he said, “Aside from that Aunt Hall, which other Aunt Hall could there be?"

Claire burst out angrily, "Is Dad still keeping in touch with Aunt Hall?! I did not say anything when he met Aunt Hall for dinner when mom was missing!

However, Mom is already back now. How could they still be longing for each other?!"

Charlie replied, "When it comes to this kind of matter, I think that it is best for us children to leave things as it is instead of prying too much into the matter. After all, Mom and Dad are already separated now." 6 "Ahhh..." Claire sighed and said, "Even if they are already separated, they have not gotten divorced yet. If they are not legally divorced, they still have to remain loyal to their relationship and marriage!" 5 Charlie shrugged as he said, "Well, you should also know about the situation between Mom and Dad. The relationship both of them share has always been different compared to that of a normal couple, so..."

Claire believed that Charlie was not lying to her. Thus, she felt very helpless, and she said, "If Dad asks you for your help to get something so that he can give it to Aunt Hall again in the future, you must not agree to it, okay? Even if we do not interfere in this matter, we should not be encouraging him to do this kind of thing."

Charlie immediately agreed, "Okay, dear! I got it! Don't worry!" 9
