The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

At this time, Claire was already moved to tears.

She was also overwhelmed with emotions when she looked back on all those years that she had been married to Charlie. 2 Back then, Claire could not understand why her grandfather had insisted on her getting married to Charlie. Her whole family had also strongly opposed their marriage but her grandfather used his sovereignty to make her compromise and give in. 1 However, since it was a forced marriage, Claire had misunderstood the concept of a marriage from the very beginning. 2 After getting married to Charlie, the marriage that she understood was simply for her to obey and abide by her grandfather's request and act dutifully as Charlie's wife. They had both continued to live together like that. It did not matter whether they were suited for each other, or whether they liked each other. 2 Therefore, they had both been living very respectfully towards one another for a very long time. In fact, even though they were legally married, they were actually nothing more than strangers living under the sroof. 3 This was especially so when they had first gotten married. Claire had also suffered and faced very strong pressure and oppression from all directions because of Charlie's identity. 2 At that time, everyone kept telling her that Charlie was useless, Charlie was garbage, and she should not be together with Charlie anymore but she should hurry up and divorce him instead. However, for Claire at that time, since she had already made the decision to marry him, then no matter what it was, she did not want to embark on the road to divorce.

After all, Charlie had never done anything wrong. 6 After that, during her married life with Charlie, she eventually began to see Charlie in a different light and she gradually developed sfeelings and affection for Charlie. However, Claire had never understood what it felt like to like a person or to be in love. 6 After all, Claire had never been in love before and thus, she was relatively ignorant and foolish when it cto feelings. So, they had both been living very muddled and confused lives so far.

As she was faced with Charlie's affectionate love confession at this time, Claire suddenly felt an extracceleration of her heartbeat and this made her feel as though she was experiencing shortness of breath and dizziness. 3 Of course, she was also very touched to the point that she was filled with tears.

When Elaine, who was standing aside, witnessed this scene, she was really overjoyed.

At this point, Elaine sincerely felt that Charlie was indeed a very good son-in-law who could withstand any test. 5 Those rich heirs who used to like Claire in the past would also try to flatter her. However, none of them could ever follow in Charlie's footsteps and do what he could do. 1 At this time, Elaine could not help but think about the way she had treated Charlie in the past and how much she had insulted him back then. However, no matter what it was, Charlie still treated her with the respect that a son- in-law should have for his mother-in-law. He would always regard and address her as his mom. Based on this point alone, it was already obvious that Charlie was a good young man who requited evil with kindness and virtue. 6 Furthermore, even though she had repeatedly caused disaster and gotten into plenty of trouble, the person who would always help her to settle everything in the end was none other than Charlie. He had also saved her life more than once. These were all the classic examples of Charlie requiting evil with kindness and virtue! The most important point was that Charlie had finally beca very promising man now. Charlie was the one who had worked hard to give them the villa at Thompson First that was worth more than one hundred million dollars, and also the two BMW cars that they had at home. Besides that, every tCharlie went out to look at Feng Shui for others, he would always make sure to buy sexpensive gifts for her too.

To be honest, it would be completely impossible to find this kind of son-in-law anywhere else.

Moreover, Charlie treated her daughter really well. He was very thoughtful toward her and he really cared about her. This was a very rare trait in itself.

So, Elaine hurriedly told Claire, "Claire, Charlie must be tired after taking the flight hso late at night. You should both return to your room now. Go and take a shower together and sleep earlier tonight!" 4 "Ahh?" Claire was startled and she started blushing immediately. She was at a loss as to how she should react and she hurriedly said, "Mom...you...what are you talking about? What do you mean by taking a shower together..." 10

Elaine replied solemnly, "Isn't it a very common thing for a couple to take a bath together? It so happens that we have very luxurious bathtubs in the bathrooms in our huge villa. The bathtub can fit two people perfectly! At the stime, you can also help Charlie to scrub his back or something. Wouldn't that be perfect?" i Claire felt so shy and embarrassed and she really felt like digging a hole in the ground so she could hide her face.

Although she was already over twenty years old, in reality, she was still a girl who had never been in a relationship before. 6 Elaine was suddenly asking her to take a bath with Charlie and she even asked her to help Charlie to scrub his X
