ire noticed that ine had a strong demeanor, yet there was an air of helplessness about her.


    After giving it some thought, ire realized that it was certainly more convenient andfortable for her mother to remain in the United States rather than return home.


    Moreover, with sses five days a week, ire wouldn’t have much time to spend with her mother, which could createplications for Charlie.


    So, she suggested, “Mom, on Friday, the day after tomorrow, let’s drive to New York after my ss, and I’ll book you a ticket for Sunday.”


    “That sounds wonderful!” ine eximed, her excitement evident as she added, “Please book the ne ticket quickly—don’t hesitate!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie, who had been listening, chimed in, “Mom, I can book it for you.”


    ine quickly agreed, saying, “Okay, thank you, dear son-inw!”


    Charlie wasted no time; he pulled out his phone, found a flight from New York for Sunday, and promptly purchased a ticket for her.


    Soon after, ine received the ticket confirmation from the airline. Upon seeing that it was all set, she felt an overwhelming joy, much like a traveler who had been away for years finally getting the chance to return home.


    Afterward, ine carefully stored away the beautiful ne that Charlie had gifted her, then announced to the two, “Oh, I’ve got an appointment with the Rampage team, and I’m going to bete! You two enjoy your time together; I’ll head out now!”<fn7624> This content belongs to Find~Novel</fn7624>


    Before either of them could respond, she quickly changed into her sneakers and left the room.


    Once ine was gone, ire turned to Charlie with a hint of concern. “Husband, do you think something seems off about my mother?”


    “What do you mean?” Charlie asked, intrigued. “I think she’s just excited to return home; she seems perfectly normal to me.”


    ire shook her head earnestly and replied with a more serious tone, “It’s not just about returning to China; it’s regarding the ne you gave her. Something doesn’t add up.”


    “The ne?” Charlie was puzzled. “I bought it from the store, so it’s definitely not fake.”


    ire quickly rified, “Oh, silly husband, I’m not doubting the authenticity! I’m talking about how my mother reacted to the ne!”


    She continued her analysis: “Husband, you know my mother well, and you should remember that her biggest w is her tendency to show off. If you had given her a valuable sofa, she would have rushed to disy it publicly. Yet, you give her a precious ne, and instead of wearing it right away, she puts it away… doesn’t that seem strange?”


    Charlie listened to ire’s insights and couldn’t help but admire her perceptiveness.


    It was clear that ire understood her mother very well. Given ine’s personality, it was indeed unusual for her to hide something valuable.


    However, Charlie was aware of the reason behind ine’s actions.
