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

When Jacob heard this, he immediately felt a little anxious. He wanted to say something, but he felt as though he could not find any suitable reason to refute Elaine's words.

'In this family, although I do not act like Elaine, who likes to do unreasonable things and annoy people for absolutely no reason all day long, I really do not contribute anything either...' 'Previously, when I was engaging in buying and selling antiques, I did earn a small sum of money from Zachary. I initially thought that this would beca way forto get rich, but who would have known tha there would not be any further progress after that 'That b*stard, Zachary, is also very confusing. In the past, he would always be there when I go to Antique Street, but recently, during this time, I cannot even seem to find this guy's figure at all whenever I head to Antique Street!' 'Even if I do not mention the fact that I cannot find Zachary, later on, I had the idea of picking up santiques to flip for a higher price, but I basically ended up losing a lot of money. Although it was not a huge sum of money, I had spent thousands of dollars on an antique, but as soon as I headed to a professional institution to inquire about the price of the antique, people would always open their mouths to giveone or two dollars for it. So, I basically made a complete loss.' 'After that, I joined the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and I'd always be busy with matters related to the association. Although I'm doing pretty well in the association, the main reason for this kind of association is simply to gain a reputation and qualification. There is no way to make money from the association at all...' So, Jacob mulled over it, but he could not help but sigh emotionally as he cto a realization. 'Sigh. Speaking of it, it seems as though I really have nothing to show for. My good son-in-law, Charlie, boughta car, and he would always helpto act as though I'm really amazing, and he would also help m e deal with other people, but what about me? I've never done anything for him before...' Jacob also suddenly felt a little guilty for quite a while.

Jacob looked at Charlie before he said awkwardly, " Charlie, what kind of work do you think would be suitable forin this situation now?" Charlie smiled as he said, "Dad, aren't you doing quite well in the Calligraphy and Painting Association?" Jacob sighed. "I'm doing quite well, but I cannot make money there, after all." Charlie waved his hand. "You and Mom do not need to worry about making money. There is both Claire and I to support this family. The both of you can just retire with peace of mind, or you can just choose to do something that you enjoy doing. I feel that the Calligraphy and Painting Association is pretty good. It is in line with your hobby and interest, and you can also cultivate your character and make snew friends there. So, why not?" Jacob said ashamedly, "But I feel very apologetic for being a freeloader." Elaine, who was aside, curled her lips as she began ridiculing him, "Oh! Jacob Wilson, you also know that you're a freeloader? I thought you had no self-awareness at all!" Charlie hurriedly said, "Mom, we're all a family. So, there is no such thing as a freeloader. Do you really expect both you and Dad to be self-reliant and self-sufficient in the future, then?" When Elaine heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Sigh, my good son-in-law, that is not what I meant. I just feel that it is already bad enough that Jacob does not make any money at all, but he does not even do any house chores, and he acts like a master who refuses to do anything. I just think that is not right..." 5 Although Elaine wanted to continue mocking Jacob, she did not want to implicate herself in this matter. What if Charlie were to also ask her to go out and find swork to do? In that case, she would not be able to enjoy this kind of good and leisurely life in the future.

Jacob also hurriedly said, "In that case, I'll be responsible for the hygiene at hin the future. I'll be in charge of mopping and sweeping the floor, wiping the tables, and throwing out the garbage!" Charlie shook his head helplessly, but he did not continue being polite with Jacob. It just so happened that the surface area of this villa was large in size, and it was indeed a little troubleswhen it cto hygiene and cleaning up. Charlie was also not used to hiring a live-in cleaning lady. After all, he had been living in the orphanage ever since he was eight years old, and he did not have the personality and behavior of a young master. So, he was not used to someone specifically staying by his side to serve him.

When Elaine saw that Jacob had taken the initiative to do the house chores, the balance in her heart was restored slightly. So, she did not bother to continue bickering with him anymore. 3 At this time, Elaine was simply looking forward to Isaac's arrival. This was because Isaac had already said that he would be personally delivering Shangri-La's spa VIP card to Charlie. This was what Elaine was most concerned about at this time.

A few minutes later, Claire had finished cooking the noodles. After out, taking the noodles out, she quickly rinsed it in cold water before serving it in a bowl.

After that, she poured the bolognese that she had made over the noodles before placing the noodles and utensils in front of Charlie. Claire smiled and said," Husband, hurry up and try my cooking!" 3

Charlie smelled the food before he exclaimed, "It smells really fragrant! It must be very delicious!" 1 After he was done speaking, Charlie immediately tasted the noodles.

Charlie really was not disappointed at all after tasting it.
