The Amazing son in law Chapter 1422
Upon hearing this, Elaine expressed her heartfelt appreciation: “Good son-in-law! You truly are the best son-in-law in the world. It’s a blessing for mom to have a son-in-law like you…”
Meanwhile, the elderly man beside them sighed repeatedly. He recognized that his son-in-law, Charlie, had certain skills. If he promised to get cosmetics for Elaine, he would surely deliver.
However, the thought of Elaine using over 100,000 sets of cosmetics made him feel somewhat uneasy.
At that moment, Charlie turned to Jacob and asked, “By the way, Dad, are you using the car today? I have some errands to run. If you’re not, could I borrow it?”
Charlie needed to head to the airport to meet Stefanie and then rush to Aurous Hill Stadium. Not having a car would be quite inconvenient.
Jacob quickly replied, “How about this: you can drive me to my elderly university later. They’re having a working lunch there, so I won’t be back for noon. I’ll take a taxi to return after I finish my work in the afternoon.”
Charlie nodded in agreement, saying, “Alright, let’s eat quickly and head out once we finish.”
Jacob responded, “Sounds good!”
Though Elaine’s cooking skills were average, she managed to whip up a decent meal of tomato noodles, which didn’t require much culinary expertise.
After finishing their meal, Charlie and Jacob hurriedly drove away.
As Charlie pulled Jacob’s BMW out of the driveway, Jacob commented, “Oh, Charlie, you really are foolish! Why would you promise Elaine that demanding woman such expensive skincare? Just look at her; is she even worth it?”
Charlie chuckled and replied, “Dad, it’s just a few hundred thousand. It’s not a big deal. Plus, I have friends who can help me get cosmetics easily.”
Jacob sighed, “Oh, what a pity!”
Charlie simply smiled and remained silent.
To the older man, it felt like a waste for Elaine to use even a single dollar’s worth of baby noodles.
However, from Charlie’s perspective, spending this little money was insignificant.
He thought, it’s not just about spending; he could easily call Isaac Cameron, Mr. White, or Mr. Quinton to help him acquire 10 or 20 sets. It was no trouble at all.
The real advantage lay in how this small investment could win over his mother-in-law, making it an incredibly worthwhile endeavor.
Jacob then hesitantly asked, “Hey, Charlie, can I… please?”
Charlie nodded, “Dad, just tell me what you need. No need to be so formal with me.”
Jacob smiled, fidgeting with his hands, “If you have a way to get those cosmetics, could you get me an extra set?”
Charlie replied curiously, “Dad, are you planning to use it yourself? It seems unnecessary; men find more flavor as they age!” Content originally comes from find[ɴ]ovel.net
Jacob chuckled awkwardly, “I won’t hide it from you, Dad wants to ask for a set not for himself. I’m hoping to give it to Matilda. You know, I haven’t had any money lately, and I haven’t given her a gift since she returned. It feels so embarrassing…”
He continued, “I thought, since you have a way to obtain these cosmetics, maybe you could help Dad out? It’d give me a little face when I present it to Matilda.”
