Chapter 1648

Claire could not help but mutter, “Ahh? You will be gone for so long?”

Charlie smiled and said, “I will be going to a foreign country, right? I’m not familiar with the place so it will certainly not be as convenient as when I’m getting things done at home. If I really do have to help them make some changes to their Feng Shui, then the raw materials I would need to do so will not be so readily available too. It won’t be as convenient as it is when I’m looking at Feng Shui at home. So, I might have to take a little longer.”

Claire could not help but feel a little lost.

In the past few days when Charlie went to Eastcliff, she had been thinking about him as she went to sleep every night. Now that she had finally looked forward to Charlie coming home at last, she really did not expect him to be leaving again. Moreover, he would be gone for a few days as soon as he left again.

At this time, Elaine could not help but asked, “My good son-in-law, how much money will the other party be paying you to go to Japan to take a look at their Feng Shui for them?”

Charlie replied casually, “About two to three million dollars.”

“Oh! That’s a lot of money!” Elaine clapped her hands happily before she gave him a thumbs up as she complimented him, “My good son-in-law is really amazing! He can make two to three million dollars just by looking at Feng Shui for others!”

After she was done speaking, she quickly smiled and said, “My good son-in-law, I heard that the cosmetics and skin care products in Japan are of very good quality and efficacy. Don’t forget to buy some gifts for Mom when you come back from Japan!”

Jacob could not stand it anymore and he blurted out, “Elaine, are you not done yet? Charlie had just bought you so many gifts from Hermes and you’re still asking him for more gifts now? Don’t you think that you are being a little too greedy and uncontented?!”

“It’s none of your business!” Elaine glared at Jacob angrily as she said, “I’m asking for gifts from my good son-in-law and I’m not even asking you to give me anything at all. So, why are you talking and nagging so much over here? Who did not lift up his pants properly and revealed you to the public?”

When Jacob heard this, his cheeks flushed red in anger and his whole body was shaking and trembling in rage!

Did not lift up his pants properly and revealed him to the public? Isn’t she simply comparing me to that thing then?

This damn b*tch really has a very foul mouth! I really feel like slapping her foul mouth!

However, Jacob only dared to think about it in his heart. If he really raised his hand at Elaine, then he would only be causing more trouble for himself in future.

So, he immediately looked at Claire as he complained, “Claire, look at your mother. No good words can be expected from a scoundrel. Just look at the essence of what she is saying!”

Claire also could not tolerate it any longer and she could not help but said, “Mom, can’t you be a little more civilised…”

“Alright, okay. Fine.” Elaine waved her hand indifferently as she said, “I will be a little more civilised and I won’t continue arguing with the likes of this old man!”

Charlie, who was sitting aside, shook his head as he smiled. He did not take anything to heart. After all, he was already used to both of them bickering since a long time ago. In fact, he would feel that something was wrong if they were both not bickering and arguing with one another one day.

After dinner, Charlie and Claire returned to their bedroom on the second floor.

As usual, the couple took a shower one after the other. After that, they got into bed one after the other.

Charlie had not taken any step forward or showed any progress in his relationship with Claire ever since he had been promoted to the first level. However, he was not too anxious about it. Furthermore, he had been so busy with many things and he had always been troubled because of so many other different women.

When he thought about his trip to Japan tomorrow, Nanako’s face appeared in his mind in an instant. He suddenly thought of how she looked when she got injured in the ring the last time.

Charlie could not understand why he was constantly thinking of this Japanese woman, Nanako.

It seemed as though he had been attracted by her dual personality. She was extremely gentle and demure, but she was also tough and strong at the same time.

As he was thinking about it, Charlie suddenly felt Claire, who was sleeping beside him, moving.

He thought that Claire was simply turning around as she usually did but at this time, Claire actually lifted a corner of Charlie’s quilt before she rolled under his quilt with him…
