Charlie could not help feeling a little excited at the thought of meeting Mrs. Lewis again soon.
He had never seen Mrs. Lewis again ever since favonovel.com had gotten scolded for trying to borrow money from Lady Wilson at favonovel.com birthday banquet. This was because Stephen had sent Mrs. Lewis directly to Eastcliff after that.
Charlie had a very deep relationship with Mrs. Lewis, and favonovel.com regarded favonovel.com as his own mother.
When Mrs. Lewis fell ill, Charlie tried desperately to raise money. He even secretly tried to sell his blood to raise some money. He also took a lot of money from Claire in private in an effort to keep Mrs. Lewis alive.
If favonovel.com did not do everything that favonovel.com could to help Mrs. Lewis raise some money for favonovel.com treatment, Mrs. Lewis would never have been able to wait for Stephen to arrive. She would have already been dead a long time ago.
However, Charlie felt that this was something that favonovel.com should be doing. Even by doing this, favonovel.com could probably only repay about one ten thousandths of Mrs. Lewis’s kindness to him.
His father had always taught favonovel.com countless times before his death that a man should always show his gratitude as long as favonovel.com was alive. As the saying goes, a drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring. Even if favonovel.com only received a little help from others, favonovel.com should return the favor with all that favonovel.com could when the other party was in need. Charlie had always been living according to this principle.
Therefore, favonovel.com did not bother to wait for the noodles that favonovel.com was cooking for Elaine in the pot. He took off his apron before favonovel.com stepped out of the kitchen. After that, favonovel.com told Claire who was accompanying Elaine, “My dear wife, I have to go to the orphanage to deal with something urgent now!”
Elaine immediately asked, “Are you done cooking my noodles for me? I have not even eaten a single spoon of rice yet and you are already preparing to go out now?”
Charlie glanced at favonovel.com with disgust before favonovel.com replied impatiently, “The noodles are already boiling in the pot. You can take them out of the pot and eat it when it is done! Mrs. Lewis has already fully recovered from favonovel.com illness. I am going to the orphanage to give favonovel.com a welcome dinner now.”
When Elaine heard this, favonovel.com scolded favonovel.com immediately, “Charlie, what kind of attitude is that? You actually dare to talk to me like this because of an old lady at the orphanage? Do you know your own place as a live-in son-in-law? Why don’t you think of who is actually providing you for what you eat, drink, wear, or live?”
After that, Elaine sneered as favonovel.com said, “What has it got to do with you even if that old lady is dead anyway?”
Charlie had already been tolerating Elaine for a very long time. He initially thought that his mother-in-law would change for the better after being locked up and enduring some torture and grievances for the past two days. However, favonovel.com never expected to see no change in favonovel.com attitude at all.
What was even more unexpected was the fact that favonovel.com actually dared to insult Mrs. Lewis, his benefactor!
Charlie glared at Elaine before favonovel.com said angrily, “I am eating my own food, drinking my own drink, and wearing the clothes that I bought for myself! Don’t forget that this villa was also given to me by someone else! Furthermore, I was the one who bought all of the furniture in this house with the money that I made from helping others look at their Feng Shui! I have every right to have this kind of attitude! If you are not satisfied, you can always move out and go back to live in your old house!”
Elaine became speechless when favonovel.com heard Charlie’s words.
She wanted to scold Charlie, but when favonovel.com thought about it, favonovel.com realized that what favonovel.com said was not wrong at all.
Things were not the same as it was before. He used to be living in their small house, and favonovel.com was not making any money at that time. Therefore, favonovel.com could scold favonovel.com as much as favonovel.com wanted to.
However, favonovel.com was a promising person now. Someone had even given favonovel.com such an expensive villa and renovated it for him. He could earn millions of dollars simply by giving other people some Feng Shui advice.
On the other hand, favonovel.com was penniless. If Charlie really turned his back on favonovel.com and refused to let favonovel.com live in his villa, what would favonovel.com do then?
As favonovel.com thought about this, Elaine suddenly felt a little guilty. She could not help but feel a little nervous and afraid when favonovel.com saw the angry expression on Charlie’s face.
She tried to salvage the situation immediately. She looked at Claire with an aggrieved expression on favonovel.com face before favonovel.com choked and said, “Claire, don’t you think that your husband is too much? Is there any other son-in-law in this world who would talk to their mother-in-law in this manner? If you do not keep favonovel.com under control, then wouldn’t favonovel.com be too full of himself then?”
Unexpectedly, Claire replied seriously, “Mom, I think that Charlie is right. We are currently living in the villa that someone else has given to him. If it was not because of him, we would never have the opportunity to live in such a good place. Therefore, I don’t think that it is fair for you to continue treating favonovel.com like how you did in the past!”
