The Amazing son in law Chapter 1435

Charlie was well aware that Jacob was unhappy with Elaine.
This discontent had built up over the years of their marriage.
Particularly after Matilda returned to China, Jacob perceived Matilda as being stronger than Elaine, which intensified his dissatisfaction.
He even contemplated divorcing Elaine, but she never provided him with that opportunity, leading to his growing resentment.
Despite his feelings, Jacob was cautious, and Charlie believed he was too careful to act on his discontent.
It was just a set of cosmetics, and Charlie thought it would be embarrassing for Jacob to prank Elaine with a counterfeit set.
Even if Elaine discovered the truth, if Claire, his wife, found out that Jacob was gifting fake skincare products to her mother, she would surely be upset.
So, Charlie suggested to Jacob, “Dad, don’t worry about it. Just send that skincare set to Matilda quickly.”
Jacob nodded and replied, “By the way, Charlie, I won’t be home for dinner tonight; I have a dinner meeting with the senior college.”
Charlie responded, “Alright, I’ll head home first then.”
After that, Charlie drove back to the Thompson household alone.
As he parked the car in the driveway, he noticed Claire’s vehicle already there, indicating she had finished work.
Charlie got out of the car and entered the house, carrying two sets of skincare products. He found Elaine sitting cross-legged on the sofa, engrossed in a TV show, while Claire was in the kitchen washing strawberries she had just picked from their garden.
Upon seeing Charlie, Claire asked, “Where have you been, my husband? You left early and came back late.”
Charlie raised the two gift boxes and smiled, “I went to pick up skincare products for you and Mom. I also happened to do some Feng Shui.”
Honestly, Charlie didn’t want to lie to Claire.
However, he had too many secrets to share at that moment, so he needed a plausible explanation for the skincare sets.
In front of his family, he portrayed himself as someone who could perform Feng Shui, so he decided to stick with that story.
Upon seeing the two sets of caviar skincare products, Claire exclaimed, “Did you really go to do Feng Shui for cosmetics?”
Charlie chuckled lightly, “I didn’t just get two sets. I prepared one for you and one for Mom, so you both can enjoy this premium skincare.”
Before Claire could respond, Elaine sprang up from the sofa in excitement, barely remembering to put on her slippers, and rushed over, saying, “Oh, my wonderful son-in-law! Did you really get that caviar skincare for Mom?” Latest content published on fındnovel.net
Charlie nodded and handed her a gift box.
Without hesitation, Elaine took the box and sat down on the floor, eagerly opening it.
As she unveiled the large gift box filled with an array of cosmetics, her eyes lit up with joy. “Wow! So many items?! This must be the most luxurious set they offer, right?”
Charlie nodded with a smile, “You have a good eye, Mom. This is indeed their top-of-the-line set.”
Elaine’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she exclaimed, “Oh my goodness, is this really the top platinum set?! Wow! This must cost nearly four hundred thousand, right?”
Claire, astonished, asked, “Four hundred thousand?! Why is it so expensive?!”
Elaine quickly interjected, “You don’t understand! The most basic set from this brand starts at over a hundred thousand dollars, and this platinum one is the most expensive! I need to take a picture and show it off on social media!”
With that, she hopped back to the sofa on one foot and grabbed her phone.
