The Charismatic Charlie Wade - Season 1 Episode 73

Wide and radiant smiles were plastered on the in-laws’ faces when Charlie said that he would buy a better car for them tomorrow.

What Jacob didn’t realize was that he had just missed out on the top-spec 760.

Claire was a little worried. After returning to their room and washing up, she quietly asked, “Do you really still have the money to buy a new car? I have some secret stash here, take it tomorrow!”

Charlie waved his hands quickly. “No, I don’t need your money. I still have some, it’s enough.”

Claire mumbled apologetically, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t know my dad and mom would be like this…”

“What are you talking about? Your parents are my parents too. We are a family, I’m glad to be able to shower them with gifts once in a while.”

Charlie lay on his tiny bed on the floor and said with a gentle smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll go and get a new car for dad tomorrow morning!”

Claire smiled warmly. “Thank you, Charlie!”

Charlie chuckled. “The pleasure is mine, my dear!”

Claire suddenly blushed when she asked, “Will you be cold at night if you sleep on the floor?”

Charlie blurted without a second thought, “No, it’s not cold at all. Don’t worry, I’m alright!”

Claire smacked her lips in annoyance. “Then go ahead and sleep! Dumdum!”

She finally had the urge to ask him to sleep in the bed, but the dumdum didn’t take her cue…

Suddenly, Charlie realized that he seemed to have accidentally missed her point…

So he frantically uttered, “Uh, dear, it’s so cold, I’m shivering now!”

Claire huffed in irritation, “If it’s cold, add a quilt!”

“Sigh…”

Charlie felt extremely regretful and depressed.

After a short while, he tried again, “My dear, I think it’s getting colder now, I’m so cold!”

Claire kicked off a quilt to the floor and said angrily, “How cold can it be in the summer night? If you’re still cold, I’ll get a jacket for you!”

Charlie was so disappointed at himself and cursed himself quietly. It seemed that his wife would not let him go to bed tonight!

The next morning, Claire got ready to go to work early in the morning.

Charlie made breakfast for her. He passed the car keys to her and said, “Drive to the office today.”

Claire was a little uncertain. “It’s your car. Can I use it?”

“Why not? You’re my wife. Besides, I bought the car for you and not for myself.”

Claire nodded gently and said as she took the keys from him. “Thank you!”

Jacob was very envious as he watched their interaction and said, “Charlie, you do remember buying me a car today, don’t you?”

“Of course!” Charlie blurted quickly. “I’ll go and buy it right away. Just wait for me to drive the brand new car home!”

Jacob was grinning from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wait at home! BMW 530, you promised it yourself, don’t get the wrong car!”

Charlie chuckled in amusement and said with a nod, “Dad, don’t worry, I’ll buy you a BMW 530 today!”

He went downstairs with his wife. He opened the trunk of the BMW 760 and took his little electric scooter out.

Claire drove the car to work while Charlie rode his little e-bike and went to the BMW showroom again.

He passed by the Audi showroom as he was approaching his destination.
