NovelEnglishCharlie nodded as he said, "About twenty to thirty thousand dollars." "Oh! My son-in-law, you are really too generous! You even boughtsuch an expensive scarf! I can already buy a mink coat with twenty to thirty thousand dollars!" 5 After that, Elaine opened the other gift box before she exclaimed, "Oh! This is a classic Hermes belt for women! My good son-in-law, I've loved this belt for several years but I've been feeling very reluctant to buy it. I really didn't expect you to fulfil my dreams for me... 4 Jacob, who was standing aside, felt a little envious and jealous. He could not help but ask, "My good son-in-law, didn't you prepare any gifts for your dad then?" 4 Charlie smiled as he said, "Of course, I did! I prepared a few gifts for you." As he spoke, Charlie handed two Hermes gift boxes over to Jacob.
Slapping his thighs in joy, Jacob said excitedly, "Oh! You prepared gifts fortoo! You are really my good son-in- law!" As soon as his voice fell, Jacob pranced forward and took over the gift boxes from Charlie's hands.
He opened the first gift box and saw a men's belt. The belt buckle had a golden "H" letter, shining brilliantly under the sun.
Jacob clapped his hands happily as he said, "Oh! This Hermes belt is the sas chairman Mr. Bill Gates'! His belt was really popular all over the country back in the days!" 7 Charlie nodded and said smiling, "This belt is already the standard for successful men now." 6 Jacob sighed as he said, "Oh, I can also be considered a successful person now. I am living in a villa at Thompson First, driving a BMW 5 Series, and wearing a Hermes belt too. In future, I will also match it with a chunky gold chain and a gold watch. That way, I will look as rich and powerful as those from the upper-class society then!" s Claire said helplessly, "Dad, do you still see any middle-aged or older people wearing chunky gold chains and swaggering through the streets now? That has already becthe standard for the younger people and working adults nowadays." Jacob laughed as he said, "I'm just saying." After speaking, Jacob casted a glance at Charlie. He winked and said, "My good son-in-law, when will you givea gold watch? I recently eyed a certain gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch and it looks really impressive!" 9 Charlie suddenly thought, 'Eh! It seemed as though Matilda had just given my father-in-law, Jacob a gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona recently! Moreover, the watch is worth three to four hundred thousand dollars. However, dad must have been afraid of mom becoming suspicious after seeing it. So, he did not dare to wear the watch at all...' 'Since he is mentioning the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona again, it's probably because he wantsto agree to his so-called request.' 'That way, he will be able to openly wear the watch that Matilda had given to him. Even if mom sees it, he could just tell her that I bought him the watch then.' i
As he thought of this, Charlie could not help but sigh.' Life has not been easy for my father-in-law too. He had ve to make so many plans in advance just to openly wear the watch that his first love had given to him. So, I should just help him then!' 5 So, Charlie replied Jacob candidly, "Don't worry, dad. Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, right? You can just count onthen!"
When Jacob heard this, he was overjoyed of all a sudden. He ran forward, sighed while grabbing m Charlie's hand. My good son-in-law, you are truly the one who understandsbetter than anyone else!" 8 After he spoke, he winked at Charlie with a grateful expression. Elaine, who was standing aside, was very dissatisfied and said angrily, "Jacob, you old man! You are really
shameless! Just look at how unpromising you look! How can possibly be worthy enough to wear a Rolex watch? Stop trying to cheat my son-in-law out of his money over here!" s As she spoke, Elaine hurriedly smiled at Charlie and said, "My good son-in-law, look at me. I don't even have any decent watch now. Why don't you buya watch then?" X
