The Amazing son in law Chapter 489
Claire awoke around seven o’clock in the morning.
Upon hearing some stirring, Charlie quickly pretended to be asleep, lying still on the floor.
As Claire quietly got out of bed, she stretched and glanced at Charlie, who was still sprawled on the floor, and a wave of distress washed over her.
Since marrying Charlie and welcoming him into the Wilson family, he had been sleeping on the floor for over three years.
Initially, Claire didn’t think much of Charlie; she had no feelings for him back then.
However, after spending so many years together, Claire found herself feeling a surprising sense of safety with Charlie by her side.
At times, she even worried that he might leave her unexpectedly.
Recently, a lot had transpired at home, reinforcing Claire’s belief that Charlie was the only person she could truly count on in this world. Compared to him, her close relatives seemed utterly unreliable.
There was no need to mention her grandmother and other relatives; they had never considered her part of their family.
As for Claire’s mother, she left her utterly speechless. In her mother’s eyes, Claire was merely a means to an end, a tool for achieving a lavish lifestyle. Despite being married to Charlie for over three years, Elaine still hoped for a divorce so Claire could marry a wealthy man.
Furthermore, Claire’s father was a confused individual, and it would be a blessing if he didn’t create problems for them, let alone offer any support in critical moments.
Thus, Claire felt the most secure with Charlie, who was still sleeping on the floor.
Her heart raced as she observed him, and suddenly, the bedroom door swung open.
Looking up, Claire saw her mother, Elaine, rushing into the room in her pajamas. Chapters first released on
Claire couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, what are you doing? Why did you come in without knocking?”
Elaine dashed to the side of the bed, glanced down at the sleeping Charlie, and sighed in relief. “I had a nightmare! I dreamt that you were pregnant with Charlie’s baby, and it terrified me! I had to check to see if he was in your bed! Thankfully, he isn’t!”
As she gently massaged her chest, Elaine continued, “Listen, Claire. You must never let Charlie sleep in your bed! Do you understand?”
Feeling annoyed, Claire replied, “Mom, Charlie and I are husband and wife. Our sleeping arrangement is none of your concern!”
“Nonsense!” Elaine shouted, placing her hands on her hips. “I gave birth to you, so everything you do is my business! I won’t allow some worthless man to take advantage of my daughter!”
Claire shot back, “Mom! Charlie saved your life!”
Elaine, with one hand still on her hip, waved her other hand dismissively. “Don’t talk to me about that useless man! I’ve lived long enough to know that being heartless is the only way to survive!”
Then she added, “Claire, you need to be smart. The most valuable thing you have is your body! With your looks, you could easily marry a billionaire after divorcing Charlie! Our family would thrive!”
Frustrated, Claire flicked her quilt and declared, “I’m done arguing. I’m going to wash up now.”
“Hey, you!” Elaine hurried after Claire, eager to continue her lecture.
Once they left the room, Charlie opened his eyes, feeling troubled. His devil of a mother-in-law was truly insufferable! He resolved to teach her a lesson someday!
