The Amazing son in law Chapter 172

Charlie chose to keep quiet about the villa he was about to receive, mainly due to Elaine’s current demeanor.

While Charlie was busy in the kitchen, Claire approached him and whispered, “Charlie, don’t take my mother’s comments to heart. She’s just too vain and idealistic.”

Feigning innocence, Charlie replied, “What did your mother say? I didn’t catch anything.”

“Oh, come on! It would be quite odd if you genuinely didn’t hear anything,” Claire said, playfully poking Charlie’s forehead with her finger.

Seizing the moment, Charlie held Claire’s hand, which made her blush instantly. She glanced around the kitchen nervously before pulling her hand back.

Yet, Charlie was not ready to let go. He drew her hand closer, admiring the bracelet he had made for her. “Is the bracelet working for you?” he asked with a smile.

“Yes!” Claire nodded enthusiastically. “I really think it’s effective. Ever since I started wearing it, I feel lighter and more relaxed. What’s in this bracelet? Why is it so good?”

“It’s just made of pearls,” Charlie replied, amused.

The Holy Pearl of the Ocean on Claire’s wrist made it appear fair and delicate, like freshly fallen snow.

As Charlie held her smooth, warm hand, he didn’t want to let go. But when Claire caught on to his thoughts, she blushed again, shooting him a glare as she quickly withdrew her hand.

Charlie chuckled and asked, “Are you interested in moving to a new house?”

“Absolutely! Who wouldn’t want to live in a bigger, nicer place? Since my mother left the villa, she’s been complaining that this house feels too small and shabby…” Claire sighed. “But the new houses are just too pricey. We should probably forget about it.”

Then, an idea struck Claire, and she exclaimed, “Wait! We could look at some new properties first. If we find that the price difference isn’t too much, we could buy a new house!”

Before Charlie could respond, Claire added excitedly, “Alright, it’s settled! Since tomorrow is the weekend, let’s go check out some new houses!”

Charlie nodded, noticing her enthusiasm. “Sure! If you want to explore some new houses, I’ll be right there with you.”

Claire then pulled out her cell phone to research real estate options, finally settling on a district known for its beautiful environment.

After dinner, there was a knock at the front door. A courier delivered a small parcel to Charlie, saying, “This is an express delivery for you. Please sign here.”

After signing for it, Charlie opened the box to find a suite key along with several golden key cards labeled ‘Thompson First Villa A05.’

Shortly after, Charlie received a call from Zeke, the head of the White family. Zeke greeted him respectfully, saying, “Hello, Mr. Wade. Have you received the key and room cards for the villa? Thompson First, developed by the Thompson First Development Company in Aurous Hill, is one of the most upscale projects in the city. Villa A05, which I gifted you, is the largest villa at one thousand square meters, not including the courtyard! I hope you and your family enjoy this gift.”

Charlie was aware of the Thompson First Development Company and knew they were involved in many high-end projects in Aurous Hill. Indeed, Thompson First was among the most luxurious developments in the area.

One of these villas was priced at no less than one hundred million dollars.

Zeke’s generosity was evident, prompting Charlie to respond casually, “Thank you for your kindness.”

“Oh, no! It’s an honor to help you, Mr. Wade!” Zeke replied, clearly delighted.

Once back in the bedroom, Charlie turned to Claire and asked, “My dear wife, what do you think of the villas at Thompson First?”

“Thompson First?!” Claire exclaimed, astonished. “How could we ever afford a villa there? Even a regular house from Thompson First Development Company costs twice as much as others! But I must admit, their properties are top-notch in Aurous Hill!”

Charlie smiled and said, “Let’s check out the villas tomorrow to see if we’re interested in buying one.”

Claire quickly waved her hands, “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We should focus on more practical options and look at regular houses instead.”

Charlie chuckled and said, “I didn’t mention this before, but I have a friend at Thompson First Development Company. He told me he could get me a villa at cost price, so why not take a look first?”
