The Amazing son in law Chapter 73
Wide and bright smiles lit up the faces of Charlie’s in-laws when he announced he would be purchasing a better car for them the next day.
Meanwhile, Jacob was unaware that he had just missed out on the high-end 760 model.
Claire felt a twinge of concern. After they returned to their room and freshened up, she softly asked, “Are you sure you still have enough money to buy a new car? I have a little secret stash here—take it with you tomorrow!”
Charlie waved his hands dismissively. “No, I don’t need your money. I still have enough saved up.”
Claire apologized, saying, “I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect my mom and dad to act this way…”
“What do you mean?” Charlie replied with a smile. “Your parents are my parents too. We’re a family, and I love being able to spoil them with gifts now and then.”
Charlie reclined on his small bed on the floor, a gentle smile on his face. “Don’t worry! I’ll get a new car for Dad tomorrow morning!”
Claire beamed at him. “Thank you, Charlie!”
Charlie chuckled, “The pleasure is all mine, my dear!”
Suddenly, Claire felt a blush creep onto her cheeks as she asked, “Aren’t you going to be cold sleeping on the floor?”
Charlie quickly replied, “No, not at all! Seriously, I’m fine!”
Claire pouted in annoyance. “Then just go to sleep already! Dumdum!”
She felt the urge to invite him to share the bed, but it seemed the ‘dumdum’ didn’t catch her hint…
Realizing his mistake, Charlie hastily said, “Uh, dear, it’s really cold! I’m shivering!”
Claire huffed in exasperation. “If you’re cold, just grab a quilt!”
“Sigh…”
Charlie felt a wave of regret wash over him.
After a moment, he tried once more: “My dear, I think it’s getting colder. I’m really cold!”
Claire tossed a quilt onto the floor, exclaiming, “How cold can it be on a summer night? If it’s that bad, I’ll get you a jacket!”
Charlie was disheartened and quietly scolded himself. It appeared that his wife had no intention of letting him sleep in bed tonight!

The following morning, Claire got up early to prepare for work.
Charlie made breakfast for her and handed her the car keys, saying, “Drive to the office today.”
Claire hesitated, “But it’s your car. Can I really use it?”
“Of course! You’re my wife. Besides, I bought this car for you, not for myself,” Charlie assured her.
Claire smiled softly, taking the keys from him. “Thank you!”
Jacob watched their exchange with envy and chimed in, “Charlie, you remember you’re buying me a car today, right?”
“Absolutely!” Charlie replied quickly. “I’ll head out to buy it right away. Just wait for me to bring home the new car!”
Jacob grinned widely. “I’ll be waiting at home! Remember, I want the BMW 530; don’t get it mixed up!”
Charlie laughed, nodding in agreement. “Don’t worry, Dad! I’ll make sure to get you that BMW 530 today!”
With that, he went downstairs with Claire. He opened the trunk of the BMW 760 and pulled out his little electric scooter.
Claire drove off to work while Charlie hopped on his e-bike, heading to the BMW showroom once more.
On his way, he passed by the Audi showroom as he approached his destination.
