Upon arriving, Loreen was surprised to find that Charlie was not home.


    It turned out that Charlie had traveled to Japan a few days earlier due to an emergency and hadn’t returned yet.


    This revtion left Loreen feeling a bit stunned, and her previously high spirits quickly diminished.


    Just thirty minutes ago, ire’s family had left her at home for lunch. She had hesitated, thinking about Charlie’s absence, realizing that staying for lunch at ire’s would mean missing a great chance to be close to Charlie.


    She considered saying she would wait for another time, but ire’s enthusiasm was infectious, and she feltpelled to ept the invitation.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, she never expected that Charlie would return before their meal!


    At that moment, Loreen looked at Charlie with excitement.


    Jacob and ine were equally thrilled to see Charlie back.


    With Jacob’s Calligraphy and Painting Association currently on a break, he had been stuck at home with ine, and he found it almost unbearable. Naturally, he was delighted to see Charlie return.


    ine was even more overjoyed. Upon seeing Charlie, she eximed, “Oh my dear son-inw, it’s so wonderful to see you back after so many days! Do you have any idea how much I’ve missed you?”


    As she spoke, her eyes couldn’t help but nce at Charlie’s hands.


    In the past, whenever Charlie traveled, he would bring her various high-end gifts, so she was eager to see what he had for her this time.


    To her surprise, Charlie came back empty-handed, which suggested he hadn’t prepared any gifts for her.


    While ine felt a slight disappointment, she was too polite to show it. After all, her attitude toward Charlie had changed dramatically.<fn90be> Find the newest release on find?novel</fn90be>


    She now viewed Charlie as an exceptional son-inw.


    Even without gifts this time, she wasn’t truly upset, aside from a bit of letdown.


    Charlie, too, recognized that returning without a small gift for ine might leave her feeling a little blue.


    So, he approached ine, sat beside her, and smiled. “Mom, I’m really sorry. I wanted to buy you some gifts while in Japan, but a friend needed a private jet, and I rushed straight back without any time to shop.”


    ine quickly waved her hand and replied, “Oh, my son-inw, just having you back is the best gift! You don’t need to worry about bringing gifts every time!”


    Charlie nodded and casually added, “Mom, I’ll send you 200,000 on WeChat shortly. Just a little something from me to you!”


    ine’s eyes widened with excitement. “Oh my goodness, my son-inw! Are you serious?”


    Charlie chuckled, “Of course, why would I joke about that? Just give me a moment to transfer the money.”


    He then took out his phone and sent 200,000 to ine via WeChat.


    ine received the notification, opened it, and saw the generous amount Charlie had sent her. She eagerly clicked to ept it, pping her hands in joy. “Oh! What a wonderful life I have, ine! I truly found a fantastic son-inw!”


    Jacob, witnessing the exchange, shook his head and said to Charlie, “My son-inw, you might want to give your mother a little less money in the future. If she has some cash, she tends to splurge. You know how much she’s been buying online since her leg injury? Our home is nearly overflowing!”


    ine shot him a re. “Jacob, watch your words! Don’t say silly things. You’re just jealous that my son-inw is so kind to me!”


    Jacob retorted, “You’re the one being ridiculous!”


    ine rolled her eyes. “What’s wrong with me? Am I being ridiculous? Look at you!”


    Jacob’s face turned red with frustration as he huffed, “I can’t even bother to argue with someone so crude!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
