The Amazing son in law Chapter 788
The layout of the second floor mirrored that of the third floor, featuring three rooms in total. Two of these rooms were spacious bedrooms, complemented by two smaller ones.
The larger bedroom resembled a suite, complete with a living area outside and a bathroom within.
Charlie and Claire naturally opted for this particular bedroom. Subsequently, they decided to offer the adjacent room to Loreen.
On the second floor, there was an additional room that Claire intended to transform into her study. Given her frequent need to create design drawings and construction plans for her business, she required a dedicated space to focus on her work.
As Charlie and Claire surveyed the bedroom, Charlie playfully inquired, “My dear wife, the bed we purchased for this room is about two meters wide, right?”
“Yes,” Claire confirmed with a nod. “Since the bedroom is so spacious, a smaller bed wouldn’t look appropriate.”
Charlie chuckled and remarked, “Then wouldn’t it be a bit too large for you to sleep on the two-meter wide bed all by yourself?”
Claire quickly grasped the implication of his words, her cheeks flushing. She responded quietly, “What do you mean by that?”
With a smile, Charlie replied, “My dear wife, don’t you see what I’m getting at? I’ve been sleeping on the floor for the last three years. Isn’t it time I got an upgrade?”
Feeling quite embarrassed, Claire quickly retorted, “What do you mean? I’m not following you.”
Charlie clarified, “I mean I’d like to upgrade from sleeping on the floor to sharing the bed.”
Claire blushed even deeper and replied, “No one ever said you couldn’t upgrade! Besides, there was a time I asked if it was cold for you to sleep on the floor, and you said it wasn’t at all! Who can you blame for that?”
Charlie raised an eyebrow at her response and said, “My dear wife, I will officially upgrade myself as soon as we move into our new villa, okay?”
Claire, feeling shy, answered, “That’s up to you!”
With that, she hurried out of the bedroom.
Charlie felt a wave of happiness wash over him; it appeared that after more than three years of sleeping on the floor, he was finally ready to make a change!

Later that afternoon, the furniture company arrived with several trucks filled with furniture and home appliances destined for the villa. The rightful source is
They completely furnished two bedrooms on both the second and third floors, along with an extra study room on the second floor.
By the end of the day, all the furniture and appliances were set up. They only needed a few essentials such as pots, pans, bedding, and pillows before they could move in.
Elaine flopped onto her new bed, rolling around in excitement as she exclaimed to Jacob, “I’m going to sleep here tonight! I’m not leaving this place today!”
Jacob frowned and replied, “How can we live here tonight? We don’t have any bedding, pillows, or toiletries!”
Elaine insisted, “I’m staying here anyway! I refuse to go back to that old place!”
Jacob shot her a disgusted look and said, “Well, feel free to stay here if you want. I’m going back to our old house for the night. I’ll pack up my stuff and officially move into this villa later. If you don’t want to come back with me, you’re welcome to stay alone here tonight.”
Elaine pondered this for a moment. Since they lacked bedding or quilts, she relented, “Alright! Let’s head home together, pack up our things, and then we can move into the villa together!”
At that moment, Elaine asked, “How much money do we have left in our family savings?”
Jacob replied, “Why are you asking about money?”
Elaine responded, “I’m just curious. Is that okay?”
Jacob answered, “We have about ten thousand dollars left in our family savings. But I’m warning you, don’t get any funny ideas about spending it. If you want to buy something in the future, you’ll need to earn your own money. Otherwise, you can live here for free, but we’re not giving you any extra cash!”
Upon hearing Jacob’s words, Elaine could no longer hold back her frustration. She exclaimed, “Jacob Wilson! Do you really think you’re so important? You’ve been acting increasingly arrogant lately!”
Jacob shot back coldly, “Don’t forget that you’ve already cost us more than two million dollars from our family savings! I’m being quite lenient with you!”
Elaine snapped, “Don’t throw that in my face! I haven’t even addressed the issue of you changing your cellphone password to Matilda’s birthday! I never expected you to do something like that! We’ve been married for over twenty years, and I’ve even given you a child! How can you still be thinking about that woman at a time like this? What are you hoping for? Are you secretly wishing to get back together with her?”
