When Jacob received a Rolex from Matilda and showcased it to Charlie while they were in the car, ire found herself sitting in the back row.
She quickly realized that Dad had asked Charlie to request a Rolex as well. It was more of a formality, as the true intention was to create a chance for Jacob to wear the Rolex Matilda had gifted him.
At that moment, ire felt a twinge of difort. However, she decided to overlook it, considering the tumultuous history between her parents and the many wrongs she had endured over the years.
To her surprise, ire’s mother decided to join in on the excitement, expressing her desire for Charlie to buy her a Rolex too.
ire quickly interjected, saying to ine, “Mom, Rolexes are typically worn by men. They wouldn’t suit you. If you really want a nice watch, I can get you a feminine Tissot.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
ine responded with disdain, “Don’t try to fool me! That brand is cheap; I bought one for a few thousand dors, and the lower-end ones don’t even cost three thousand. They can’tpare to a Rolex! I don’t want it!”
Charlie, trying to smooth things over, said, “Mom, I bought a lot of items in Eastcliff this time. I got a gold watch for both you and Dad. However, our family’s finances might take a hit. I happen to know someone who sells imitation watches. They look exactly like the real ones and are quite affordable. How about I get you and Dad a replica for now?”
At this point, ine was no longer the critical figure she once was in Charlie’s eyes. With Charlie treating her better, she was more reasonable.
Realizing Charlie had already splurged on Hermes items for himself, ine quickly said, “Oh, good son-inw, I was only joking! I know it’s tough for you to earn money, so let’s just buy a fake for your dad. I really don’t need anything.”<fn0eb2> Follow current nov?ls on find{n}ovel</fn0eb2>
She quickly added, “Hey, if yound a big feng shui job in the future and make a lot of money, don’t forget about your mother!”
Charlie smiled and assured her, “No problem! I won’t forget you when I start making money.”
Turning to Jacob, he winked and suggested, “Dad, why not let my friend find you a replica Rolex? Most people won’t be able to tell the difference!”
Jacob, unaware of Charlie’s underlying motives, simply thought it was a good excuse for him to wear the watch Matilda had given. ine believed it would be a fake, which made it even better!
So, Jacob eagerly nodded and said with a smile, “Oh, a fake is fine! I just want to wear it anyway; the real one would be a waste!”
Charlie took advantage of the moment, saying, “Then it’s settled! I’ll call him soon to find a high-quality replica.”
Jacob responded with enthusiasm, “Great, great!”
Charlie then presented Jacob with some tea that Stephen Thompson had given him, saying, “Dad, this is some excellent tea I sourced for you. Please avoid buying tea from WeChat without checking next time.”
Jacob smiled and replied, “My tea isn’t bad! It tastes wonderful when I drink it!”
Charlie encouraged him, “Then try this and see how itpares.”
Jacob agreed, “Okay, I’ll give it a tryter!”
At that moment, Charlie pulled out the remaining Hermès gift boxes and said to ire, “My wife, these are all for you. Take your time unpacking them when we get home.”
ire was taken aback, eximing, “Wait, why are there more gifts for me? I already received a bag…”
Charlie nodded with a smile, “The rest are just some small essories, like scarves, wallets, and belts.”
