NovelEnglishAfter getting off the car, Charlie stood in place as he watched Jasmine drive away, then remained standing for more than ten seconds before turning around and walking through the Thompson First gate. 7 When he returned to his own house, Claire had already finished her night shower and was lying on the bed reading a book. 1 She smiled at the sight of Charlie and asked, "How was your friend's birthday party?" 6 Charlie felt a little awkward and replied in an uneasy tone, "Oh, the party, it was nice..." Claire didn't know that it was actually Jasmine's birthday because Charlie didn't tell her about it as he didn't want Claire to overthink the whole thing.
Claire, on the other hand, didn't notice any difference in Charlie. Instead, she put the book down, looked at Charlie, and said in a rather timid voice, "Dear, can I ask you a favor, please?" 3 Charlie uttered, "You don't have to be so formal with me, dear. I'll do anything for you, go ahead, spill it." Claire said, "My high school friend is getting married soon and she dropped by the office today to passan invitation. Can you go with me?" 6 Charlie smiled. "Of course. Is it he or she?" 6 "She," Claire answered. "We sat next to each other when we were in our senior year." Charlie nodded and said, "Oh, if she was your tablemate, we must go then!" Claire fidgeted with her fingers nervously and said," Dear, I have another favor to ask..." Charlie answered, "Okay, tell me." Claire cleared her throat and started speaking seriously, "This friend of mine, her life was quite bitter growing up. Her family had always favored sons over daughters, so they didn't care much about her. In fact, she's pregnant- that's why she is getting married soon -so her in-laws look down on her too. When she cto my office today, she beggedto lend her my BMW as the first car in the sending-the-bride convoy. She probably thinks that a BMW is very luxurious, but as you know, the first car of the convoy nowadays must be at least a million-dollar car. The BMW 5-Series is really not up to the standard. So I want to ask if you can borrow the two luxurious cars from Mr. White and Mr. Quinton as the leading cars in her convoy..." 11 Charlie was startled. He asked in a bewildered tone, "I can borrow the cars, that's no problem, I haven't driven them since the car show. But dear, I've only heard about the convoy to pick up the bride and I've never heard of a convoy to send the bride. What kind of absurd rule is this?" Claire answered, "My friend was a resident student back in high school and she was from the rural county at the outskirts of Aurous Hill. Yes, you're right, traditionally, it's supposed to be the groom who sends a convoy to pick up the bride. However, the groom's side despises her, so they've intentionally made a harsh request, saying that they won't be picking up the bride during the wedding and they've asked the bride's side to go to the hotel by herself. That's why..." 2 Charlie frowned. "This is ridiculous! She's pregnant with his child, how can they treat the bride this way? The groom's side is too much." 1 Claire sighed. "Yes, she's very pitiful and dismal. The groom's side despises her, so they've refused to present her the betrothal gift, not even a penny. Her family had expected to get smoney out of the betrothal gift to buy a house for her brother, but now that they've not received any money from the groom, her family has objected to the marriage. Nevertheless, my friend has insisted on going ahead with the wedding. In the end, both her family and her future inlaws abhor her. It's quite sad to see her like this." s
At this point, Claire curled her arms around his, shook it coyly, and pleaded, "Honey, I know you're the most aweshusband in the World and you always keep a low profile, but could you please help my friend and lend her a sports car on her wedding day? I want her t 0 gain sreputation on her wedding day so that her in-laws won't bully her after the wedding. Dear, please..." i
Charlie grinned ear to ear upon her coquettish reaction and said in a loving tone, "Since she's your high school friend, one lisn't enough-let's use both cars. On that day, I'll drive one myself while you drive the other, and your friend will sit in your car. How about that? Are you happy with the arrangement?" 3
Claire shrieked joyfully. She hugged him, pecked a kiss on his lips, and said happily, "Yes, I'm happy, so happy! You're the best husband in the whole world!" 7 Charlie's eyes widened in disbelief and astonishment.
