The Amazing son in law Chapter 1542

“Well, I’ll wait for you here!”

……

At this moment, Charlie and Orrin’s family were enjoying dinner. Orrin had insisted they indulge in a fair amount of liquor before he returned to the guest room Angie had prepared for him. After taking a bath, he lay down to rest.

Just then, Charlie received a call from Claire. “Husband, how is your progress in Eastcliff?” she inquired.

Charlie smiled and replied, “It’s going well. Everything is running smoothly, and I expect to wrap things up in about three days.”

“That’s great to hear,” Claire responded, a hint of concern in her voice. “Make sure to take care of yourself while you’re away. You’ve never traveled far before.”

Feeling touched, Charlie reassured her, “Don’t worry, my dear. I’m an adult and capable of looking after myself. I’ll head back as soon as I’m finished.”

“Okay,” Claire said with a smile. “By the way, I need to ask you for a favor.”

Charlie, eager to help, replied, “What is it, wife? You don’t need to be so formal with me. Just let me know what you need.”

Claire explained, “Loreen was chatting with me today. She’s back in Eastcliff, and her grandmother’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. Could you buy some gifts for her birthday celebration?”

Charlie considered the timing. His main business was scheduled for tomorrow. In the morning, he would accompany Orrin to participate in a board meeting at the Sun Group, followed by a visit to his parents’ grave. However, he had no plans for the day after tomorrow, and he was contemplating staying to see if everything at Sun Group settled down. If that was the case, he could return to Aurous Hill the day after tomorrow.

Since he wasn’t planning to leave Eastcliff the day after tomorrow, attending Loreen’s grandmother’s birthday banquet didn’t seem like a big issue. Yet, Charlie felt a bit uneasy.

After all, Loreen had been on the same flight to Eastcliff as him but hadn’t mentioned inviting him to her grandmother’s birthday celebration. Instead, she spoke about it with Claire, knowing that her mention would lead Claire to ask him. It left Charlie feeling slightly uncomfortable.

Though he didn’t harbor any feelings for Loreen, her subtle manipulations made him feel reluctant. For instance, the time she invited Claire to a hot spring, her true intention was to spend time with Charlie, but she had cleverly approached it through Claire. This felt like a similar tactic.

He wondered why she seemed interested in him and wished she would just move on.

Despite his mixed feelings, Charlie agreed, saying, “Sure, I’ll pick out a gift tomorrow and deliver it at noon the day after tomorrow.”

“Thank you, husband!” Claire replied gratefully. “You’re doing this for me. When I visited Eastcliff during university, Grandma Thomas was so welcoming. I wanted to go in person, but I have to take my mother to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. If everything goes well, they’ll remove her leg cast, and she’s been eager to get her front teeth fixed. So, I can’t go myself, which is why I’m asking you.”

Charlie smiled reassuringly, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

Claire continued, “I’ll transfer some money to you. Please find a suitable gift for around $100,000. I trust your judgment!”

Charlie chuckled, “There’s no need to send me any money. I’ve got enough on hand; the clients here have already settled their bills in advance.”

Claire was taken aback, “Wow, that’s generous of you!”

Charlie replied, “Well, it’s a big family, after all!”

Claire smiled, “In that case, I won’t hold back! Thank you, husband!”
