NovelEnglishClaire pulled Charlie to the side and chided him," Mom was just fooling around this morning! Why did you go and get her such an expensive skincare product? One set costs four hundred thousand dollars?! This is too much! We're not that kind of family..." Charlie laughed, "I relied on sconnections to get these, don't you worry." Claire lowered her voice, "Truthfully, I'm more afraid of mom being overly demanding in the future. What if she constantly asks you to buy her such expensive skincare products? What are you going to do then?" 7 Charlie smiled a little. "Don't you worry. Didn't you realize that mom has changed a lot? Let's just say... This is a reward for her? To encourage her to be better in the future?" 5 As he was talking, Elaine had already taken a short video on her mobile phone to send to her friends, and she said, "Look at these two sets of caviar skincare products that my good son-in-law bought for me. They are both platinum packages! Both of them add up to more than seven hundred thousand dollars!" Charlie immediately chipped in, "Mom, these two sets are not just for you. One of them is for Claire." 7 "Huh?!" Elaine sounded distressed. "Claire is still so young and beautiful with not a single wrinkle on her face!

She immediately continued, "No matter what, this is Charlie's present for us. You mustn't reject another person's goodwill!" What else could Claire say?! Thus, Charlie picked up a gift basket and handed it over to Claire. "My dear, this is for you. Just use it! Once you've finished it, I will buy it for you again!" 6 Claire felt a tingling sense of happiness inside her as she witnessed her husband's loving actions toward her. She nodded a little and accepted the gift. 4 Elaine smiled as she saw her daughter accepting the gift. "I shall head to my room to wash my face and try on the skincare products! I can't wait anymore!" As soon as she finished her sentence, she hugged her gift basket and ran up to the elevator, making her way to the third floor, i Claire only caught a glimpse of her back as she sprinted away.
