Chapter 1637

When Jacob showed off the Rolex watch which he received from Matilda to Charlie in the car, Claire had also been sitting in the back seat.

So, she understood the reason why her father was asking Charlie for a Rolex watch at this time. It was just a formality, mainly because he wanted to look for an opportunity to openly wear the Rolex watch that Matilda had given to him.

At this moment, although Claire felt a little uncomfortable, she could only turn a blind eye to the situation when she recalled the pasts of her father and mother, and all the grievances that her father had suffered and endured over the years.

However, Claire really did not expect her mother to join in the fun at this time. She even asked Charlie to buy her a Rolex watch.

She hurriedly told Elaine, “Mom, Rolex watches are usually worn by men. It will not look good on you. If you really like watches, then I can just buy a female Tissot watch for you later.”

Elaine replied in disgust, “Don’t even think of fooling me. I know that watches from that brand are very cheap. You can buy one of those watches for a few thousand dollars. The low-end watches don’t even cost three thousand dollars! How can they possibly compare with Rolex watch? I don’t want that!”

Charlie said casually, “Mom, I already bought a lot of items in Eastcliff this time. If I were to really buy a gold watch for you and dad, then it is estimated that our family’s living standard would have declined greatly. A buddy of mine happens to be selling imitation watches. The imitation watches that he sells look exactly the same as the real ones and you can’t tell the difference. Moreover, they are quite cheap. Should I get you and dad one of those imitation watches so that you can just wear that first?”

Now, Elaine was no longer the shrewd woman who would blindly criticize and oppose Charlie’s every word like she did back then. She became much more sensible after Charlie started treating her a little better.

When she thought Charlie had already bought so many Hermes items for her, she knew that it would not be good to make him spend more money to buy a gold watch for herself. So, she hurriedly said, “Oh! My good son-in-law, I was just saying. I know that it is not easy for you to make money. So, you can just buy a fake watch for your dad first and let him make do with it. I do not need one anymore.”

After she was done speaking, she hurriedly added, “My good son-in-law, make sure that you do not forget about me when you accept another big Feng Shui job in future and make a lot of money then!”

Charlie smiled before he nodded and said, “No problem. I will not forget you if I make more money in future.”

After that, he winked at Jacob and said, “Dad, why don’t I get my friend to find an imitation Rolex watch for you first? Anyway, most people can’t tell the difference. It looks like the real deal!”

Jacob understood what Charlie meant. Nevertheless, he was simply looking for a reason to be able to openly wear the watch that Matilda had given to him. It would be even better if Elaine thought that it was just an imitation then!

So, Jacob hurriedly nodded and smiled. “Oh, it’s okay even if it is an imitation watch. Anyway, I just want to wear a gold watch and show off. The real Rolex watch is just a waste of money anyway!”

Charlie took advantage of the situation and said, “It is settled then. I will call my friend and ask him to find me a good imitation Rolex watch soon.”

Jacob smiled and said, “Okay! Okay!”

After that, Charlie brought out the tea leaves that Stephen had given to him. He handed them over to Jacob and said, “Dad, these are some good tea leaves that I asked someone to help me to buy for you. Don’t buy any random tea leaves online anymore in future.”

Jacob smiled as he said, “My tea leaves are not that bad too! They taste really good!”

Charlie replied, “Taste it then, and notice the difference later.”

Jacob nodded and said, “Okay, I will try it later!”

At this time, Charlie brought out the remaining Hermes gift boxes before speaking to Claire, “Wife, these are all for you. You can bring them back to our room and open them slowly.”

Astonished, Claire said, “Ahh? Why are there still more gifts for me? Haven’t you given me a Hermes bag already?”

While nodding, Charlie smiled and said, “The rest are just small accessories such as scarves, purses and belts.”
