Claire quickly interjected, “I understand, Dad! There’s no need to worry, just eat your meal!”
Jacob responded earnestly, “I’m here to share some life lessons, especially for you, Claire. You’re always so swamped with work. You should take a page from Charlie’s book and learn to relax a bit. If you have tasks piling up, it’s essential to take some time off. Honestly, I think you should take a few days to unwind and perhaps go on a trip with Charlie or something similar.”
Charlie chimed in, “Well, Dad, I might need to head out of town in the next couple of days.”
“Heading out of town?” Jacob asked with curiosity. “My good son-in-law, where are you off to?”
Charlie replied, “I’m going to Eastcliff.”
“Eastcliff?” Jacob exclaimed in surprise. “What’s taking you to Eastcliff?” Official source is find✦novel.net
Claire was equally confused.
In her memory, Charlie hadn’t left Aurous Hill in nearly four years since their marriage. She couldn’t fathom why he would suddenly be traveling so far to Eastcliff.
In reality, Charlie hadn’t traveled anywhere else recently. Some time ago, he had dealt with issues involving the southern region Beggar Gang, which took him to the border of two provinces. As for Eastcliff, he hadn’t returned since he left years ago.
At that moment, Charlie created an excuse about Feng Shui, smiling as he explained, “Someone referred me to a Feng Shui job in Eastcliff, where I’ll be assessing a rich man’s new villa.”
Elaine, overhearing this, asked with excitement, “Good son-in-law, a big family in Eastcliff? You must be getting paid handsomely for that!”
Charlie nodded casually, saying, “I mentioned that if I go there, I’d charge five million. If the Feng Shui checks out well, I could earn an additional three million, totaling eight million.”
“Wow!” Elaine exclaimed with delight. “You can make eight million in one trip to Eastcliff? Good son-in-law, you’re truly impressive! I never realized how capable you are!”
Jacob shot her a disapproving glance and retorted, “You always thought you were better than everyone else. Did you not notice that Charlie, despite lacking a family background, has worked hard to achieve success?”
Elaine, feeling defensive, fired back, “Are you saying I was the only one with high standards? In Charlie’s first three years of marriage to Claire, didn’t he seem to be lacking in many areas?”
Jacob looked a bit flustered and mumbled, “I…I…at least recognized his potential before you did!”
Elaine scoffed, “What’s the difference between recognizing him at ninety-nine steps or a hundred steps?”
“You… stop talking nonsense!” Jacob blurted, his face reddening as he defended himself, “You’re the one being unreasonable! If I’m at a hundred steps, I’m only at fifty at most!”
Claire sighed, trying to mediate, “Can’t you both just stop arguing over everything?”
Jacob rolled his eyes, responding, “Of course, the relationship is strained! That’s why every little thing becomes a noise…”
Elaine banged the table in frustration, “Jacob, are you really going to keep this up?”
Jacob retreated, “Well, I won’t stoop to your level.”
Claire, looking at Charlie with concern, asked, “Have you confirmed the details regarding Eastcliff?”
“Yes,” Charlie replied with a reassuring smile. “I’ll be heading there soon, but don’t worry; it won’t be for long. I should be back in just a few days.”
