NovelEnglishWhen Elaine heard about the bracelet that was worth five or six million, her eyes opened wide and there was a dash of sparkles in it! "Bracelet? Where is it? Show me!" Charlie was getting a little cautious. He said calmly," Mom, the bracelet is in my bedroom, but I plan to return it." 2 "What? Return it?" Elaine frowned in dismay. "Are you out of your mind? Why do you want to return such a precious gift?" 2 "It's just a small favor, I don't deserve such an expensive gift." "Shut up!" Elaine blurted, "Since he already gave it to you, then just take it! Where is the bracelet? If you don't want it, I want it!" 1 Charlie knew what was playing in his mother-in-law's cunning mind. He actually wanted to give the bracelet to Claire, but he couldn't think of a suitable excuse for it, so he put it aside for the meantime, who knew that his father-in-law would blurt it out so casually! 3 It's not that Charlie was reluctant to give away the bracelet. He had nearly 10 billion dollars in his card, he could afford all the bracelets in the world! 4 But the main point was because his mother-in-law was too shrewd and tacky to wear such precious accessories. She would be more suitable for cheaper accessories with her style. 1 However, Elaine didn't want to miss out on the opportunity. It would be such an honor and pride to wear a six million dollars bracelet! 1 Hence, she kept on pestering Charlie, "Where is the bracelet? Con, show me!" 1 Claire knew that if her mother got hold of the bracelet, it was impossible to take it back, so she started, "Mom, we think we better keep it since we want to return it in case we damage or spoil it. It won't be nice to return a spoiled thing to them." 1 "What? Do you really want to return it?" Elaine raised to her feet and chided loudly, "Are you insane?" Claire knew that her mother would throw a tantrum next, so she said firmly, "Mom, just stop, I've already discussed it with Charlie, the deal is sealed." As a mother, Elaine was very clear of Claire's temperament. She couldn't stop her if she insisted on returning the bracelet, yet, she couldn't help but sigh, her eyes were wet with tears. "It's bad enough to have a wuss as my son-in-law, my daughter doesn't even want to take my side! Boohoo, this is not fair!" 6 Claire cut a piece of chop on Elaine's plate and comforted, "That's enough, Mom, I'll get you a bracelet later." 3 "Yes! You promised, no going back on your word!"
