NovelBookCharlie asked, "So, Dad, do you have any plans?" He did not know what Jacob was thinking at this moment. Seeing Jacob's sorrowful expression, he assumed that Jacob might want to lend Lady Wilson a helping hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJacob simply sighed and said, "As her son, it breaks my heart to see my own mother living such a hard-knock life and doing such a tedious job. I should not just sit on my hands and watch." The next second, he closed his eyes and said," However, I didn't see anything! It was nothing but an illusion!" 6 With that, he quickly turned around and said, "Charlie, let's go buy sfish, shrimp, meat, and eggs. As for the vegetables, let's buy them at another supermarket. What do you think?" Knowing Jacob's intention, Charlie immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Dad. I'm thinking the sthing. The vegetables in this supermarket are not so fresh. Let's go to the wet market later to buy the vegetables! First, let's go see if they have a larger Boston lobster, and we'll buy sback!" 1 Jacob snapped his fingers at Charlie and said with a grin, "You understandvery well! Let's go and buy slobsters!" Although Jacob felt sympathetic toward his mother's miserable life, he was not a fool to take pity on her. He knew Lady Wilson's true self like the back of his hands. 2 She had been cold-blooded and merciless when she kicked his family out of the Wilson family. She was ruthless when she tried to frClaire. 2 Later, when Wilson Group had collapsed, she had done a lot of nasty things in order to live in their Thompson First villa.
Jacob was tired of seeing her mother's cruel and ruthless side. Hence, he hoped that reality could teach her a valuable lesson, and he would not offer any help until she had completely repented for her mistakes. 3 After loading a cart full of various ingredients, Charlie and Jacob proceeded to the checkout counter.
At this moment, there were long queues at every checkout counter. They waited for more than twenty minutes before it was finally their turn.
Jacob quickly walked to the front of the shopping cart and said, "Charlie, pass the goods to the cashier to scan the code, I'll bag them at the front." Charlie nodded. Jacob walked into the cashier's lane and said to the cashier before Charlie started loading the items on the conveyor belt, "Please givefour large plastic bags." The cashier nodded and said, "That's fifty cents each." With that, she bent to the side drawer and retrieved four large plastic bags and handed them to Jacob.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Jacob took the bags, he subconsciously looked up and immediately exclaimed, "Hannah?! What are you doing here?"
"Huh?! I-It's you!" Hannah, who was wearing the supermarket miket vest and standing in front of the checkout counter, was equally stunned when she saw Jacob! She never thought in her wildest dreams that she would run into Jacob when she was forced to take a temporary job as a cashier! 2
She looked to the other side of the shopping cart and saw a young man who was loading the items on the conveyor belt. It was Charlie!
Seeing Charlie taking out a thick plastic bag containing several large lobsters, Hannah mumbled sourly to herself, "D*mn, I've been hungrylall day and night, and I've been standing here all morning with an empty stomach. It's not even lunchtyet, but here they are, buying a big bag of lobsters! How can there be such a huge gap in living standards when the two families live in the sThompson First?!" X
