"Darling, I bought this for you. Open it and see if you like it!" 2
Feeling shocked, Claire asked, "You bought this for m e? Darling, it's your hard-earned money. Normally, you don’t even spend on yourself. But once you're outside, you always buy things for me..."
Elaine, who was standing beside her, quickly said," Silly girl. Charlie loves you, cares for you, and pampers you. He's a good man! Look at your dad, this old stingy man-since when has he ever bought me something valuable?"
Jacob answered angrily, "You're in control of the household finances. I have no money, so how could I possibly buy you things?" 9
Elaine quipped, "Nonsense! Despite other husbands having no money too, they would still try their best to give their wives things. What about you? Don’t tell me you’ve never secretly kept some money after so many years? Don't use having no money as an excuse." 1
Jacob picked up the suit that Charlie gave him and said, "I won’t quarrel over such matters. I’m going to m y room to try on the suit given to me by my good son-i n-law! There are activities at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so I'll wear this suit to these events! 2
At that moment, Claire was carefully unpacking the gift box.
When she saw a bright crystal diamond ring lying in the jewelry box, she was shocked and covered her mouth! 2
Elaine, who was by the side, widened her eyes several times and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! Such a big diamond?! It should be around three carats, shouldn’t i t?!"
Charlie chuckled and replied, "You have a good eye for things. The main diamond on this ring is 3.2 carats!" 1
"Oh!"
Wiping her tears, she continued, "Look at you...Always buying things for me and my parents, but never for yourself. How can I not feel sorry for you..."
Charlie smiled, took out the ring and lifted his wife's right hand and said seriously, "Claire, it’s a blessing to marry you. I want to thank you for staying by my side all these years. I owe you this ring as a husband, so you must accept this ring!" 5
"That's right!" Elaine added, "Daughter, look at how good Charlie is! You must spend time with Charlie and most importantly, make babies!" 5
Claire was initially touched by Charlie’s sincere confession. After listening to her mother's words, she became embarrassed and blushed. 5
At this moment, Charlie carefully put the ring on her right ring finger and happily said, "Darling, to have company is the most affectionate confession. Thank you for your company all these years!"
