Shane smiled at his father-in-law and said, "You just need to specify the amount, we will prepare it."Charles frowned in surprise and immediately turned to his daughter, "Is your husband joking or what? Are you trying to fool me or what, Kirana?""Wow, it's bad if it's like that!" another villager said.Charlotte did not want to remain silent and immediately replied, "Shane has said that, so it must be serious, Dad. It can't be a joke.""Where did he get the money?" Charles asked.Charlotte was almost impatient. But even though she didn't know herself she could only answer, "The money is definitely from his job. You just have to accept it."She looked at her husband and hoped that what he said was true. She saw him smile and give a small nod and she felt reassured."Already, Sir. Shane just said it, we'll see if the amount is correct or not.""If it's a lie, it's too much."One man nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's right. What if we become witnesses? If Charlotte and her husba

Faye laughed dismissively, "Oh my! I'm really surprised. You are proud to have a husband who's a shoe solver.""Huh, don't be like that!" Abby said, who had just entered the employee's storage room, joining them. She walked up to Charlotte and said to Faye, "You can't be like that."Faye raised an eyebrow, looking surprised by Abby's words. The look in her eyes seemed to say 'How come you're defending her?'However, her astonishment only lasted for a moment because she then saw Abby embrace Charlotte suddenly and said again, "Charlotte is already an old maid. How thankful is she for a mate, instead of not getting married?"Faye instantly smiled with satisfaction at that, while Abby turned to Charlotte who seemed fine with the insult. "Isn't that right,Charlotte? You must be really happy to be able to get married too. Yes, even though she only got a shoe repairman," Abby said, flashing a sweet smile that was meant to mock Charlotte.Charlotte casually removed Abby's hand from her sh

Charlotte did not need to turn around to recognize the person with the voice. It was still the same person, Faye.And as expected, Abby next joined the woman as she added. "Charlotte, did you forget that your husband's profession is just a shoe repairman? Yes, there's a lot of unemployment, Charlotte.""Oh, yes too. His working hours are free." Faye responded with a chuckle."Not like our husbands whose working hours are fixed. Charlotte's husband can pick up now because there are fewer customers," Abby continued.Faye asked, "Is that so? Is your husband having fewer customers? Do you need help? How about getting my broken shoes repaired by your husband?"Charlotte still did not move to respond to the two people's words. She wanted to go straight home because she was too lazy to respond to the unimportant remarks. She finally just said, "Sorry, Faye. I don't think I can. Anyway, I'll go back first, Abby, Faye. My husband is waiting for me."Abby clucked her tongue and instead caught

"Really?" Charlotte asked again, still in a surprised tone.Shane nodded, "Yes, yes. You asked for that much." Shane answered with a casual expression."So where did you get it, Shane?" Charlotte repeated. The woman found it hard to believe. It seemed too strange to her. Oh, she thought that anyone would be suspicious of a husband who claimed to only work as a shoe repairman, but in fact had such a large amount of money.In fact, now the husband managed to earn ten thousand dollars in just one day. How could the woman not be suspicious?She had just been thinking about how much money her husband had spent. Now he added to her confusion by saying something that made her doubts increase dramatically."From work, Charlotte. Where else do you get it from?" Shane replied with a smile.Charlotte sighed, "Shane, I'm serious. From you ... repairing shoes? Can you earn ten thousand dollars in a day?"Shane immediately looked deeply at his wife. He tried to find something in her eyes and fin

"Come in first, how can you talk outside?" Cecilia said curtly.The woman invited Beatrice to come inside.Charlotte sighed, starting to get a bad feeling.Meanwhile, Shane, who was standing right beside his wife, whispered, "Calm down!"Charlotte shook her head, "How can I calm down, Shane? Did you hear what Cecilia and Beatrice said earlier? Share the money, Shane. Who would want to share money?""Uh, I remember you said that you didn't give it to your father today. Didn't you, Shane? Why are you collecting now?" Charlotte said impatiently.Shane nodded instead, patiently saying softly. "Let's just go in first, shall we? Later we can find out what the truth is."Charlotte reluctantly stepped inside with her husband. Once inside, she could see that in the not-so-large living room, her father and mother were already sitting together with her two younger siblings.Charlotte chose to sit on the right side with Shane beside her. Just as they sat down, Barbara asked, "So when did you give

"Honey, take it easy. Inshallah there is a way," Shane said so casually.Charlotte wanted to ask further questions, but her husband said again, "Come on, take a shower first!""But, about that-""You don't need to think about it, I'll take care of it," Shane cut in while winking his left eye at Charlotte.Charlotte sighed and chose not to ask again. By not asking she thought that it would not make Shane feel uncomfortable. Because, if she questioned him more, she was worried he would think she did not believe in his ability.According to her, a man does not like to be underestimated and would love to be given trust. So, Charlotte chose to really put her trust in her husband.In the early morning after the dawn prayer, Charlotte asked, "Shane, may I go to the market?"Shane, who had just folded his sarong after returning from the mosque, asked back, "Do you want to do a lot of shopping?""Yes, I'm running out of groceries," the woman replied as she picked up her purse."Do you still

"Find out why they lied, then take the next step," Shane replied.Charlotte gave up, her husband was too kind. Even though the money used by her mother and father was Shane's money, the man seemed to have no problem with the money used for unclear purposes."Tell you what, let's leave this matter alone. We-" Shane couldn't continue because he was suddenly pushed forward and almost fell down."Shane, is it okay?" Charlotte asked while holding her husband's obviously heavy body.Shane nodded and straightened up. Before he could turn around, he heard someone call out, "Move aside! If you want to talk, don't do it in the middle of the road."His voice sounded harsh, causing Charlotte to take offense. The woman turned her head to see a stocky man with a towering height.She fearlessly said, "Yes, but you can say it nicely, right? Not that kind of pushy?"The man laughed sarcastically, "Wow! It turns out that you are brave little Charlotte."Hearing her name mentioned by the man, Charlot

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 ...

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
