The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1226

After getting off the car, Charlie stood in place as he watched Jasmine drive away, then remained standing for more than ten seconds before turning around and walking through the Thompson First gate. 7

When he returned to his own house, Claire had already finished her night shower and was lying on the bed reading a book. 1

She smiled at the sight of Charlie and asked, "How was your friend’s birthday party?" 6

Charlie felt a little awkward and replied in an uneasy tone, "Oh, the party, it was nice..."

Claire didn’t know that it was actually Jasmine's birthday because Charlie didn’t tell her about it as he didn’t want Claire to overthink the whole thing.

Claire, on the other hand, didn't notice any difference i n Charlie. Instead, she put the book down, looked at Charlie, and said in a rather timid voice, "Dear, can I ask you a favor, please?" 3

Charlie uttered, "You don't have to be so formal with m e, dear. I'll do anything for you, go ahead, spill it."

Claire said, "My high school friend is getting married soon and she dropped by the office today to pass me a n invitation. Can you go with me?" 6

Charlie smiled. "Of course. Is it he or she?" 6

"She," Claire answered. "We sat next to each other when we were in our senior year."

Charlie nodded and said, "Oh, if she was your tablemate, we must go then!"

At this point, Claire curled her arms around his, shook it coyly, and pleaded, "Honey, I know you're the most awesome husband in the world and you always keep a low profile, but could you please help my friend and lend her a sports car on her wedding day? I want her t 0 gain some reputation on her wedding day so that her in-laws won't bully her after the wedding. Dear, please..." i

Charlie grinned ear to ear upon her coquettish reaction and said in a loving tone, "Since she's your high school friend, one isn’t enough-let’s use both cars. On that day, I’ll drive one myself while you drive the other, and your friend will sit in your car. How about that? Are you happy with the arrangement?" 3

Claire shrieked joyfully. She hugged him, pecked a kiss on his lips, and said happily, "Yes, I'm happy, so happy! You're the best husband in the whole world!” 7

Charlie’s eyes widened in disbelief and astonishment.

What had happened to him today? Was he having a stroke of luck?
