The Amazing son in law Chapter 6657
In this moment, within Charlie Tangchen’s luxurious villa, a family of four was relishing a delightful family dinner for the very first time.
Charlie Wade and Claire had always maintained a peaceful relationship, but Jacob and Elaine frequently engaged in taunts and exchanged cold remarks during meals, resulting in a consistently tense and uncomfortable atmosphere at the dining table.
However, this evening was different; the couple didn’t argue a single time throughout the meal. More importantly, they seemed to have put aside their past grievances, and the overall mood was surprisingly harmonious.
Elaine had notably shed her usual domineering demeanor. She frequently served Jacob food, encouraging him to sample various dishes, embodying the role of a devoted wife and caring mother.
Previously, Jacob often looked down on Elaine and lamented his fate, feeling that despite his success, he was burdened with a wife he didn’t admire. Yet now, he had come to accept his circumstances.
He recognized that with someone like him, it was no wonder Matilda had held him in low regard, and it was quite commendable that Elaine remained supportive of him.
Consequently, the way he looked at Elaine had transformed; no longer did his gaze carry the disdain of the past, but rather a gentler, more affectionate warmth.
After dinner, Elaine, familiar with Jacob’s preferences, spoke up before he could rise: “Claire, please help your mom tidy up the kitchen later. I’ll prepare a pot of tea for your dad first, as he enjoys a cup after meals.”
Claire was taken aback for a moment before responding quickly, “Sure… okay, Mom. You don’t need to worry about the table; I’ll handle it.”
Jacob, still seated at the table, was astonished. Elaine making tea for him felt like an unexpected privilege.
He quickly stood and said, “Honey,
there’s no need for you to tire yourself. I can make it myself.” But Elaine insisted, “Just relax for a moment after your meal. I’ll brew the tea and bring it to the coffee table in the living room.”
With that, Elaine headed to the kitchen.
Jacob watched her leave, nearly moved to tears by the change he was witnessing.
He turned to Charlie Wade, his expression a mix of disbelief and wonder, as if silently asking whether this was all a dream.
Charlie Wade, equally astonished, couldn’t help but marvel at the transformation he was witnessing in his mother-in-law.
As he sighed in amazement, he rose to assist his wife in clearing the dining table.
“Husband,” Claire urged, “Mom won’t let Dad lift a finger, so please just sit and relax while I take care of it.”
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “You’ve just returned from a long day. I can’t possibly sit back and let you do all the work.”
Jacob, regaining his composure, couldn’t help but reflect, “They say that harmony breeds prosperity. I never truly understood that until now. It feels incredible to have a home filled with peace, free from arguments and strife. This kind of atmosphere brings joy, and it’s refreshing to come home knowing everyone is happy and engaged in conversation!”
Once Elaine stepped out, Claire leaned in and whispered seriously, “Dad! We owe it to Charlie Wade for smoothing things over today. If Mom had found out about her being in detention, and that you went to the airport to pick up Aunt Han for dinner, I shudder to think what the traffic police might have done with you!”
Jacob’s face paled with fear, and he glanced nervously toward the doorway, relieved to see Elaine was still absent. He lowered his voice and said to Claire, “For the sake of our family’s harmony, you must keep all that under wraps. Stick to the version that Charlie Wade provided. Do you remember?”
