The Amazing son in law Chapter 1420

In a hushed tone, she turned to Charlie and asked, “What’s wrong with Mom? How did she end up in the kitchen cooking?”

Charlie grinned and replied, “Mom mentioned she wanted me to try her cooking. She said she’s making tomato noodles.”

Claire let out a sigh: “My mother, cooking on her own initiative? This is truly a surprise! It feels like she’s finally found her way back.”

While Claire expressed her thoughts, Charlie was reminded of an old saying: “When there’s nothing to do, there’s no evil or theft.”

He speculated that Elaine, his mother-in-law, must have asked him for something, because with her usual demeanor, she wouldn’t just decide to cook without a reason.

Sure enough, when they sat down for dinner, Elaine personally served Charlie the noodles and smiled, saying, “Good son-in-law, there’s something else I’d like to ask you. I hope you can agree?”

Charlie replied, “Mom, just let me know what you need. If it’s reasonable and within my means, I won’t refuse.”

Elaine beamed at him, “Oh, my wonderful son-in-law! Lately, I’ve noticed I seem to be aging quite a bit. The wrinkles on my face and the crow’s feet around my eyes are becoming more pronounced. Time is certainly not kind!”

With a smile, she continued, “I heard about a high-end anti-aging cream made from caviar that’s quite popular abroad. Many celebrities use it for its amazing effects. I’d love for you to buy a set for me.”

Claire interjected, “Mom! That cosmetic set you’re talking about costs hundreds of thousands! Given our family’s situation, how can you ask Charlie to buy such expensive products? I’ve already given you a set of Estee Lauder before. Isn’t that sufficient?”

Elaine shot back, “Don’t even mention your Estee Lauder! I suspect my wrinkles might be a result of using it.”

Frustrated, Claire retorted, “Mom! Estee Lauder is a great brand. I can hardly bring myself to use it! Just go check our bathroom; all my products are either local or basic imported brands. I wouldn’t splurge on something so high-end.”

Elaine huffed, “You’re young! You may not care about such things now, but I’m not! If I don’t take care of myself, I’ll end up looking like a faded woman! Look at your dad; he’s already quite repulsive. He keeps talking about divorce. If I don’t pay attention to my appearance, what man would want me?”

Claire was left speechless.

She felt a mix of anger and frustration, realizing that reasoning with her mother was futile. She turned to Charlie and said, “Don’t listen to Mom; don’t buy her anything!”

Elaine, feeling hurt, exclaimed, “Your dad treats me poorly, your grandmother treats me even worse, and now I find out that even you don’t care about me!”

Claire quickly countered, “Mom, how can you say that? It would be ridiculous to spend over 100,000 on cosmetics! That doesn’t make any sense!” For more chapters visit FindN0vel.net

Elaine cried, “I don’t care! I just want to look younger and not age so quickly. I can’t bear to see myself turning into a faded woman!”

At that moment, Charlie gently patted Claire’s hand and said calmly, “Alright, my dear, don’t be upset. Mom has a point. Everyone wants to look good, and she has her own needs.”

Elaine nodded enthusiastically, praising Charlie, “My son-in-law is the best! You really understand me!”

Charlie then added, “Actually, I have a friend in the cosmetics import business. I’ll ask him about it later. He was just looking for me to help with his new storefront’s Feng Shui, so I can have him get a couple of sets for you and cover the cost that way.”

Upon hearing this, Elaine’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Really? Oh, my wonderful son-in-law! You are truly the best! After experiencing life’s ups and downs, I finally understand that my son-in-law is someone I can depend on. Unlike other mothers-in-law, siblings, husbands, and even daughters, you’re here for me when it counts!”
