Seeing ire’s determination, Charlie nodded and said, “Alright then, my dear wife. Thank you for all your hard work. I’ll be on my way now.”


    “Okay, go!” ire quickly added, “Since you’re off to a friend’s birthday banquet, have you gotten him a present?”


    Charlie hummed thoughtfully before responding, “Yes, I’ve already prepared a gift for him.”


    ire eagerly asked, “What did you choose? It better not be something trivial or cheap; otherwise, he might feel a bit let down!”


    With a slight smile, Charlie replied, “I made something special for him myself. It’s not the cost that matters, but the thought behind it. My friend values sincerity over money, so I’m sure he’ll appreciate my gift.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “That’s wonderful!” ire nodded, beaming. “In that case, you should get going!”


    “Alright,” Charlie agreed.


    Charlie then stood up, putting on a simple coat. He said his goodbyes to ire and his inws before heading out the door.<fn9ea8> This text is hosted at find(?)ovel</fn9ea8>


    As soon as Charlie stepped outside, ine set down her phone and turned to ire with a serious expression. “ire, why are you indulging Charlie so much these days? What can that useless man do besides help with the housework? I was thinking of having him do even more chores around here, yet you keep offering to do everything for him!”


    ire quickly responded, “Mom, since Charlie has ns, let him leave a bit earlier. I can handle these simple tasks like washing the dishes after breakfast. It’s really no trouble.”


    ine retorted, “That’s not how I see it! You should treat a man as you would a dog! If you’re strict with him from the start, he won’t dare to misbehave, let alone jump on the furniture. In fact, he’ll be eager to please you!”


    Continuing with a serious tone, ine added, “But if you give him too much freedom, he’ll only grow more arrogant, and one day, he might turn against you! Just look at how I’ve trained your father over the years—he’s be quite obedient and submissive, hasn’t he?”


    Upon hearing ine’s words, Jacob’s face darkened with frustration. Internally, he cursed, Damn it! So, you’ve always viewed me as a dog?


    Yet, Jacob didn’t dare to express his anger towards ine. Instead, he swallowed his irritation and kept his thoughts to himself, feeling deeply upset.


    ire nced at her father sympathetically before saying, “Mom, I’ll take care of the dishes and then head out myself.”


    Ignoring ine’sments, ire gathered the dishes and made her way to the kitchen.


    As ire washed the dishes, she absentmindedly looked out the kitchen window, which faced the entrance of themunity. There, she spotted her husband, Charlie, walking outside.


    Unbeknownst to Charlie, ire was watching him from the kitchen window.


    Upon stepping through the gate, Charlie noticed a red Rolls-Royce Phantom parked outside themunity entrance.


    Momentster, an elegant woman with a noble demeanor, striking beauty, and long, slender legs emerged from the car. It was none other than Jasmine, the youngdy from the Moore family.


    Jasmine wore a stunning red custom dress and looked more radiant than ever. She exuded the grace and poise expected from someone of her affluent background.


    Though Jasmine imed her morous attire was for her grandfather’s birthday celebration, the real reason was her desire to impress Charlie.


    After all, the saying goes that a woman dresses up to please herself, and Jasmine hoped that Charlie would notice her beauty and show her more attention in the future.


    Surprised, Charlie couldn’t help but admire Jasmine as he took in her appearance.


    Even though he had seen Jasmine’s beauty before, he found himself saying, “Jasmine, you look absolutely stunning today.”


    Jasmine gazed at Charlie with affection, her heart fluttering at hispliment, and she felt a blush creeping up her cheeks.


    With a gentle twirl to showcase her dress, Jasmine asked shyly, “Do you really think I look beautiful in this outfit?”


    Charlie smiled softly and responded, “Absolutely! You look breathtaking, and this dress suits your elegance perfectly.”


    Feeling even more embarrassed, Jasmine could feel her ears burning. She then bowed respectfully and said shyly, “Thank you, Master Wade, for your kind words.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
