Charlotte was led to a room where for the first time in her life she received a brief salon treatment, and then she was taken to another room.

There the dresses and accessories bought for her by her husband were already neatly arranged on the right.

"Go ahead, Ma'am!" the female employee said, who was very young this time.

However, during the time she was being dressed by her Charlotte was truly amazed. Besides being careful, the woman looked meticulous.

About forty minutes later, just as Shane had predicted the treatment to be over, the employee said, "It's done, Ma'am."

Charlotte, who had put on a soft pink long-sleeved dress, looked at herself in front of the large mirror. How surprised she was to see herself so much different.

She even touched her long hair which was left loose but adorned with beautiful but not glamorous ornaments. The necklaces and bracelets she wore also made her look more charming but not overdone.

The woman even smiled at her reflection.

    Being stared at so intensely and a touch on the chin like that, of course, made Charlotte even more helpless. The husband's charm was no joke. The man seemed to transform into a very different man. His dominant aura was so strong that Charlotte almost thought he might have two personalities.However, when a smile was painted on Shane's thin lips so gently, Charlotte immediately dismissed the notion. Her husband's nature had not changed, still as warm as ever. It was just that now Shane looked different on the outside. His physique had changed but his eyes and smile were still the same as the Shane she knew. "Why are you staring at me like that?" Shane asked whose breath swept across Charlotte's face.Uh, she could not get close to that man in such close proximity. She felt it was not safe for her heart. In her eyes, Shane was too handsome like the dream man in dramas that women go crazy over."Am I too handsome to make you amazed like that? Are you mesmerized by your husband?" Sha

    Charlotte suddenly looked up, staring at her towering husband. She saw that her handsome husband again painted a warm smile until Kirana unconsciously returned it with a sweet smile."Well, you see. My wife is beautiful, you don't have to be nervous," the man said, who reflexively made Charlotte break their gaze.Shane understood it well that his wife was embarrassed. He, who was still embracing Charlotte with his left hand on her shoulder, invited his beautiful wife to walk closer to his coworkers. Shane nodded at them before asking his wife to sit on an empty chair, right next to Faye who had also arrived along with her husband."Faye," Charlotte greeted before sitting down.The stunned Faye stammered back, "Yeah, Charlotte."Someone else ventured to ask, “Charlotte. That's ... her husband?" The last part of the word 'Her husband' was uttered silently by the woman. Charlotte nodded, "Yes, this is my husband.""Shane," Charlotte called softly to her husband.Shane, who understood

    Instead of answering his wife's question, Shane said, "Later, dear. Uh, there... look!"Shane pointed at a small child who was about to dance. Charlotte immediately understood. Her husband still did not want to discuss it.It was obvious that Charlotte was very curious. But, she could not possibly force her husband to say what she did not want him to discuss.She was not a pushover. After all, after knowing Shane for more than a week, she felt that he was a good person. It was just that he had secrets.So she tried to tolerate it by not forcing her husband."You ... must be really beautiful in a wedding dress," Shane said suddenly.The sudden change of topic made Charlotte a little surprised. Moreover, she found Shane turning to her and saying with a sweet smile, "We'll have a party later."Charlotte glared in shock."Huh? Why? The money is right-""Hm, did you forget what I said earlier?" Shane said while squinting.Charlotte winked, not understanding. "Forgot about what?""You don't

    Charlotte flashed her beautiful smile and said, "It's real.""No way," Abby said.She shook her head as if in disbelief, "That's really expensive. It's as expensive as a motorcycle. How ... can you possibly afford it?"Charlotte sighed patiently and turned to her husband who was staring at her in amazement.She took her husband by the hand with a bright face and said without looking at Abby, "I didn't buy it. This is all my husband bought.""A shoe cobbler like him can buy such expensive jewelry? Do you think I believe you? He only charges fifteen thousand per shoe repair," Fildan mocked.The man wore an annoying expression to insult Shane, but Charlotte seemed unfazed."Oh, that's true. But, in fact, she can afford to buy them," Charlotte replied indifferently.Shane shook his head but smiled at his wife who he thought was very brave. "What a lie. You can't believe I'm real," Faye said who then suddenly walked closer to Charlotte.Shane frowned when Faye said, "Let me see, there's

    Before Charlotte could open her mouth to reply to Beatrice's words, Cecilia snapped back first, "Yes, there's no need to ask again, Beatrice. It looks like she doesn't have any money."The two women continued to stare down at their brother-in-law. Charlotte could no longer stand hearing her husband insulted, but Shane said, "Sorry, we'll go to the room first. Charlotte is tired, she wants to rest for a while."Shane took his wife's hand who was looking at him in confusion. The look in her eyes clearly showed her unwillingness to leave."Huh? Mom and Dad said you went by online taxi. How are you tired?" Beatrice said with narrowed eyes.Cecilia also looked at her sister and brother-in-law without blinking and then chuckled, "Oh, it must be because the online taxi wasn't full? Because money is tight?"Charlotte was still silent but her hand, which was being grasped by Shane, strengthened as if she was trying to overcome her anger through it."Ih, then there's no need to hesitate to tak

    "That's right, Sis. I know it by heart," Cecilia said.Beatrice was even more astonished, "Where did you get the money to buy such nice clothes?"Cecilia clucked her tongue, "I don't know, but I'm sure it couldn't have come from being a shoe repairman."Beatrice nodded, seemingly agreeing with Cecilia's statement. "I suspect that Shane got the money from other sources.""Let's pretend we don't know first, then we'll tell mom and dad when we find out. How about that?" Cecilia said.Beatrice nodded and looked at the contents of the bag again. But there was nothing else in it.Meanwhile, Shane, who had just taken a change of clothes, asked his wife, "Why don't you show your jewelry, dear?"Charlotte, who was cleaning up their dirty clothes, replied, "At first I wanted to show it off, Shane."Shane nodded, "So why didn't you?""Afraid they wouldn't believe that the jewelry was real?" Shane guessed.Charlotte shook her head quickly and grimaced before answering, "I wasn't afraid that they

    Charlotte again nodded confidently, "Sure, Shane. I want to fulfill my duty as a wife."Shane smiled so softly and looked at his wife in such a deep gaze that Charlotte became mischievous."Shane, don't look at me like that!" Charlotte said whose face had turned red.Shane chuckled, "Why? Can't you look at your own wife?""Well, it's not like that, I just-"Charlotte could not continue as suddenly Shane's index finger was pressed against her lips making her even more nervous than before.One of her husband's other hands pulled her hair back. Somehow Charlotte's heart started beating many times faster than it should.She also saw her husband who began to move his head closer to her. Charlotte unconsciously gripped her own hand out of nervousness.She automatically closed her eyes slowly. However, something unexpected happened. A soft voice sounded in her ear, "Don't be nervous, dear!"Hearing Shane's last sentence, strangely managed to make the lulled Charlotte regain her consciousne

    Charlotte was on the verge of tears, but she tried hard to hold them back. Without saying a word, she nodded at her husband's invitation.Shane quickly took his wife by the hand and picked up his briefcase and left the house quickly.The couple didn't see Barbara outside, but unfortunately bumped into Charles who gave them a disapproving look."What's the hurry?" Charles asked as he carried cleaning tools."Afraid of being late, Dad," Shane replied.Charles snorted, ignoring Shane and instead turning to his daughter, "Did your mother tell you about the shop capital, Charlotte?"Charlotte let out a long sigh, not expecting to be asked that on the street in front of their house."Dad, we'll talk about it later!" Charlotte said softly in a pleading tone.Charles chuckled, "Why? You don't want to provide capital for your parents, do you?"Charlotte's father's tone was clearly raised as if he wanted people in the neighborhood who happened to be passing by to hear what they were talking abo

    Charlotte fell silent as soon as she heard Mita's words which this time sounded very curious or rather very enthusiastic. Seeing Charlotte who was silent and did not answer her, Mita looked at her with confusion. But when she realized something, the young girl immediately raised her hand and made a gesture as if she was rejecting what Charlotte was thinking.Mita quickly said, "Charlotte, don't misunderstand me! I ... didn't mean anything by it. I don't like people's husbands either. Take it easy!"The girl said very convincingly and Charlotte judged that Mita did not seem to be lying. Uh, Charlotte who had been suspicious of the young girl became uneasy. She felt that she had a small mind to think that there was something that Mita wanted. Charlotte immediately shook her head quickly and then touched Mita's hand, "I'm sorry ... You were just thinking strangely. But, I trust you."Mita let out a sigh of relief. The girl touched Charlotte's hand back and then said softly, "You jus

    Charlotte shook her head firmly, "Not all corporal punishment can have a deterrent effect on the offender.""How so?" Mita stared at the woman with an astonished look. Ever since she was a little girl she had always received corporal punishment if she made a mistake. As a result, she was always scared when she was about to make that mistake so in the end she chose to be careful not to get punished. It made her a person who did not want to make the same mistake so that she could escape punishment. "Yes, sometimes such physical punishment makes the offender afraid but it usually only lasts temporarily. There are times when he has a sense of resentment and eventually the feeling of retaliation returns," Charlotte explained.Mita immediately thought hard. Suddenly the young girl smiled strangely as she remembered how she had done what Charlotte had mentioned as an adult. In her childhood, she had been so deterred by the fear of punishment that she did not dare to do anything wrong.

    Being asked about such an important matter immediately made Ferry think seriously and she also wanted to help the leader."Charlotte ... do you think my wife will be angry that I hid everything from her?" Shane asked when Ferry had not even suggested a way out for him.Ferry lifted her face and replied in a tone that sounded very careful, "Sir, you hid your identity and so many other things from Ms. Charlotte because you had to. You didn't just want to lie to her."The young man paused for a moment and continued, "You had very good reasons for doing so and I am very sure that Ms. Charlotte would not have been angry with you."Shane was not convinced and although he knew how tender his wife's heart was, he thought that no one would like to be lied to.However, what Ferry said was also one of the reasons that made him hopeful that Charlotte would be able to see things from his point of view."Maybe ... Ms. Charlotte wil

    Actually, Queen seemed reluctant to answer or reply to the employee's words that she thought were not important.However, when she saw Shane's stiff and cold expression, she knew that if she didn't reply, Rayan would definitely be much angrier at her.So, she reluctantly said, "Well, how can you believe that even though everyone seems to know about your marriage, Shane. In fact, it was your family who told me about your marriage and still ... there is no proof."The girl chuckled and seemed to really not believe Shane or Ferry's explanation.While adjusting her hair which was currently dyed light brown she said again, "Even if it is not officially announced about the real identity of your wife, shouldn't there at least be a photo or a small description of what her name or origin is even if it is just initials."Queen shrugged her shoulders as if in contempt of how Shane was just telling a big lie to make her jealous.

    Shane without hesitation nodded and said, "I'll choose the menu and you arrange the delivery, okay?""Yes, Sir," Ferry replied obediently.Miko, who overheard the conversation, also smiled and felt that Shane's attention towards Charlotte was very great.When Shane had chosen the menu that his wife would probably like, Ferry immediately contacted his boss's restaurant to prepare the food and deliver it to the minimarket."Wow! Ms. Charlotte must be so happy to be really taken care of by you," Miko teased, which immediately made Shane chuckle."This is just normal, Sir. I just want my wife to be able to eat without having to go to the neighborhood convenience store," Shane said.He went on to say, "So she won't be too tired."Ferry smiled at the answer and responded, "Mr. Shane is very considerate and I'm sure Ms. Charlotte won't get tired, Sir."Shane just shook his head at the two's jokes but he s

    Ferry was actually quite surprised by Shane's request.Shane Lee that he knew was not someone who chose to do unimportant things like taking care of other people's lives. However, when he remembered Miko's story about his boss's life as a son-in-law who was insulted and humiliated by his wife's family, he could easily understand what Shane was doing.He quickly nodded his head, "Yes, Sir. Then, what else would you like to order?" "Nothing for now. You ... can relax until lunchtime," Shane said.Ferry nodded obediently then she quickly left the boss's office. He wandered around the inner area of the bookstore and met some of the employees. There were 10 employees working at the place and all of them were students.They work alternately and come to the character at an uncertain time. Ferry was initially very surprised by the system in the store but after he heard the whole story of Shane, he even admired the kindness of her boss. Shane deliberately built the shop not only to satis

    Barbara quickly replied, "Well, Shane has proven that he can give a thousand dollars in just a few days. That means 500 dollars is a small amount of money for him.""Mom, that's a lot. That's-"Shane again stopped his wife from saying too much while looking at his mother-in-law and father-in-law, "I will give it."Charlotte wanted so badly to argue and refuse but she couldn't so she just remained silent, even more so when her mother and father laughed happily at her husband's words. "Well, why didn't you say that earlier, Shane?" Charles said with a very cheerful expression on his face.When the woman got out of the house with her husband to go to work, she couldn't contain her annoyance at her husband. "Shane, why do you want to do it?" Charlotte said with annoyance and even the woman chuckled as she looked disappointedly at her husband. Shane sighed, "I just don't want you to fight with your parents."Charlotte winked when she heard the answer from her husband and she immediately

    "Yes, but my father and mother themselves gave me the choice. You also let me choose who will be my husband," Charlotte explained.Barbara said, "Well, then you should be grateful to us. We didn't immediately match you with Oliver but you can still choose. How come you don't thank us?"Charlotte was so tired of discussing the matter but she still tried to answer, "Charlotte is very grateful but it doesn't mean that you and I have become like this as if we are taking advantage of Shane's kindness."Charles glared in exasperation at his daughter.He even threw the spoon he was using to scoop the rice. The old man said in an angry tone, "We are not asking you for billions of dollars. We only ask for small change, Charlotte."Charlotte turned to her husband who looked resigned with no intention to argue but she felt that she could not let her husband spend another large amount of money on her parents.If the money they needed was ind

    Barbara hadn't had time to respond to her second child's idea but her youngest added, "Cecilia's right, Mom. Since he's still the new son-in-law here, he should be willing to give money to Mom every day."Barbara thought for a moment and then smiled at her daughters for coming up with such a good idea.Charles nodded and seemed to agree with her daughters' idea, "We'll try talking to Shane and if he doesn't want to give us money every day, just threaten him, Honey."Percy and Zacklooked relieved to hear their wives' ideas.That way, as sons-in-law in the family, they would be at ease.It meant that they didn't have to think about the money they had to give to their in-laws.In fact, the two of them almost never gave any money to their in-laws but lately because they felt that their pride was a little hurt by the actions of the new son-in-law, they were forced to think of a way.However, it seemed like the
