The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 172

However, Charlie did not want to say anything about the villa he was about to receive because of Elaine's current attitude. 2

As Charlie was busy in the kitchen, Claire walked over to him before she said in a low voice, "Charlie, please don’t take my mother's words to heart. She is just too vain and idealistic." 3

Charlie deliberately asked, "What did your mother say? I didn't hear anything at all." 1

"Alright then, you can continue pretending. It would really be strange if you truly didn’t hear anything at all," Claire replied as she poke Charlie's forehead with her finger.

Charlie took advantage of this opportunity to hold Claire's hand at this time. 5

Claire started blushing immediately and she looked around the kitchen before she retracted her hand immediately. 5

However, Charlie refused to let go of her hand. Instead, he brought his hand closer to him as he took a closer look at her hand. Charlie smiled when he saw that Claire was wearing the bracelet that he made her. After that, he asked, "Is the bracelet effective?" 5

"Yes." Claire nodded before she said, "I think that it's really effective. Ever since I put on the bracelet, my

body seems much lighter and more relaxed. I also feel much more comfortable today. What is this bracelet made of? Why is it so effective?” 1

Charlie smiled before he said, "It’s just made out of pearls." 1

The Holy Pearl of the Ocean that was on Claire’s wrist right now made her wrist look so fair and tender just like snow.

As Charlie held her smooth and warm hand, he did not feel like letting go at all. 2

When Claire realized what he was thinking, she blushed before she glared at him and retracted her hand immediately. 9

Charlie smiled before he asked, "Are you also interested in moving into a new house?” 1

"Of course! Who wouldn't want to live in a newer and bigger house? Ever since my mother moved out of the villa, she has been complaining all the time because she feels that this house is too small and shabby..." 1

Claire sighed before she continued, "But the new houses are too expensive now. Since we do not have s 0 much money on hand, we should just forget it."

After that, Claire suddenly recalled something and she blurted out, "By the way, we could go and check out some new properties and houses first. We can calculate the price difference between this house and the new house. If the price difference is not too great, then we can get the new house as soon as possible!" 17

Therefore, Charlie replied in a light manner, "Thank you for your generosity."

Zeke was ecstatic as he exclaimed, "No, no! It is an honor for me to be able to do something for you, Mr. Wade!"

After returning to the bedroom, Charlie suddenly asked Claire, "My dear wife, do you like the villas at Thompson First?” 1

"Thompson First?!" Claire exclaimed in surprise. "How will we ever be able to afford any of the villas there? The prices for an ordinary residential house developed by Thompson First Development Company i s already twice the price of any other residential houses! However, I must say that the properties developed by this group are really the best in Aurous

Hill!" 2

Charlie smiled before he said, "We can have a look at the villas tomorrow before we decide if we’re interested in buying one." 5

Claire hurriedly waved her hand before she said," Forget it. We should just forget it. Let’s be more pragmatic and check out the ordinary residential houses instead." 9

Charlie smiled before he said, "I did not tell you about this before but I actually have a friend working for Thompson First Development Company. He said that he'll be able to get me one of the villas at cost price, so why don’t we check it out first?"
