The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1870

Charlie knew that his wife was a very shy woman. Furthermore, she did not have much experience in this aspect. So, how would she possibly be able to tolerate Elaine's teasing then? 5

So, Charlie hurriedly said, "Mom, Claire is a very shy person. You should stop teasing her and making fun of her."

Elaine smiled before she said, "Claire, did you see that? Charlie is always thinking of you and looking out for you!"

After she spoke, Elaine stretched a little before she said, "I am not going to chat with both of you anymore. I have to go inside and take pictures of my bracelet now. You two should rest earlier too!" 6 As she was speaking, Jacob suddenly walked out of the elevator dressed in his new Boss suit.

As soon as he saw the three of them, he hurriedly made a few turns in front of the elevator with a smug look on his face. After that, he smiled as he said, " Look! I still have some foundation, right? This suit is simply tailor-made for me. I am already in my fifties but I did not put on any weight and I still have a very good figure. This is really rare in this world!" 2

Jacob was wearing a very high-end and decent looking suit. He really looked very stylish.

Furthermore, his physique was very good indeed. At first glance, he really did not look like a person who was in his fifties at all. 2

However, Charlie knew very well in his heart that his father-in-law, Jacob was actually a very lazy person who did not exercise much at all. In fact, the reason why he could maintain such a good figure was simply because he had been tortured by Elaine for so many years. 5

Although Elaine had already restrained herself a lot these days, back then, Elaine could really be compared to the devil. Whoever married such a wife would certainly feel very vexed and dejected. He would certainly feel very frustrated and bored every day and he might not even have the appetite to eat at all. Therefore, how could it be possible for a person like that to gain weight then?

Therefore, Charlie praised him, "Dad, when you're dressed like this, you really look as if you're merely forty years old. It really brings out your temperament!"

"Exactly! Hehehe!" Jacob smiled triumphantly as he said, "When I was still in university back then, I was also popular and famous for being one of the handsomest boys back then. I would not lose out to or be any worse compared to the young boys these days!" 1

Claire shook her head helplessly before she said, "Dad, when can you be a little humbler? If anyone else heard what you said, people will certainly laugh at you and make fun of you!"

Jacob pouted as he said, "What should I be afraid of? If I'm placed among a group of old men, then I will certainly be one of the best there! To put it simply, I'll certainly be the most distinguished man in a common crowd."

Elaine could not help but feel a little uneasy and dissatisfied when she looked at Jacob, who looked young and stylish. 2

She could not help but think to herself, That d*mn Jacob actually looks pretty decent after dressing up a little! In contrast, I have been gaining some weight over the past few years and it's starting to get a little out of control now! I've really been gaining weight continuously ever since I spent so some much time recuperating and resting at home because of my broken leg and because of my serious lack of exercise! No! I definitely have to lose some weight and regain m y figure! No matter what it is, I can't allow Jacob to be in a better shape than me! 6

So, Elaine glanced at Jacob unconvincingly without saying anything else. Instead, she looked at Charlie and Claire before she said, "I'm going back to my room now. Both of you should also go back to your room and rest soon too."

Claire blushed as she responded, "Okay, Mom. You can go back to your room and rest first!" 1

Jacob also said, "Charlie, you should go back to your room and rest earlier. You must be tired after running around for so many days. Why don't you ask Claire to fill the tub with warm water for you so you can have a good bath then?" 1

At this time, Claire could not help but felt a little ashamed and embarrassed when she thought of what her mother had said just now. However, as she thought about it, she felt that her husband has indeed been working very hard. He would certainly be able to relax a lot and greatly relieve the feeling of exhaustion after taking a nice bath. 6

So, she told Charlie, "Charlie, why don't you continue chatting with Dad for a little longer? I will go upstairs and fill the tub for you first. You can come up to take a bath in ten minutes." 1

Charlie nodded.

After Claire and Elaine took the elevator upstairs together, Jacob dragged Charlie with him because he wanted to make him a cup of tea to help him to relieve his fatigue. 4 As soon as Charlie sat down, his cell phone started ringing.

When Charlie lowered his head, he saw that it was a phone call from a strange number. So, he stood up before he told Jacob, "Dad, I am going out to answer a call." Jacob replied, "You can just answer the call here. Do you need to go out to answer the call?" 2

Charlie nodded before he said, "It's a phone call from a customer."

After he was done speaking, Charlie hurriedly walked out of the door.

After coming to the courtyard, Charlie answered the phone and said, "Hello. May I know who this is?"

A woman's enthusiastic voice rang out from over the other end of the line. "Oh! Charlie, I'm your aunt! I've missed you so much for so many years now!"
