Charlotte was indeed annoyed at her coworker who was always pestering her, but she was currently in a situation where she had to remain professional. Hence, the not-so-light-skinned woman only replied in a low tone, "Faye, do you want to help me or not?"Charlotte did not wait for Faye's reply and immediately went back to greeting the customer who had begun to put down her groceries.Faye could only smile wryly while helping Charlotte to pack the customer's goods without being able to bother Charlotte anymore.She was forced to hold her tongue until the end of their working hours. "Wow! Charlotte, who was that handsome guy?" One of Charlotte’s coworkers asked when Charlotte took her small backpack from the locker.Charlotte closed her eyes for a moment to make herself much calmer while facing those people who might intend to hurt her heart.It was Faye who replied, "Charlotte's ex-boyfriend. Isn't he cool? I don't think he's just a random person."Abby, who happened to have just ent

Charlotte shook her head and muttered again, "Uh, there's no way Shane would be angry. He would never think negatively of me.""Yes, that's right." Charlotte added, reassuring herself.But, unfortunately, she remained restless as she waited for her husband to come pick her up there. However, she was greatly relieved when some of her coworkers seemed indifferent when they found out she was still there, not yet out of the minimarket.About two minutes later, her cell phone vibrated. Charlotte quickly picked up the call."I'm already in front of your bake shop, Charlotte. You can come out now," Shane said in the call.Charlotte replied with relief, "Yes, Shane."As soon as she hung up the call, she walked outside and she was immediately greeted with a warm smile by Shane who was standing at the edge near the highway.Shane was standing not far from Jonathan who was looking at Charlotte with astonishment.He had thought she was walking towards him, but instead she continued to walk past

"Enough, Jonathan!" Charlotte shouted who couldn't take it anymore."Why is that? You ... probably feel the most hurt because of that incident. Like that, Charlotte?" Jonathan replied sarcastically.The man looked happy to see Charlotte's current reaction, but Charlotte could not hold back her irritation so she said, "I don't care what you think of me. I just want to say, you don't need to show up in front of me anymore."Shane immediately grabbed his wife's shoulder gently, "Honey."Jonathan snorted in exasperation. He was about to reply again, but Shane was much faster than her, "I'm warning you. If you still dare to speak again or still try to disturb my wife, then I will not remain silent."Jonathan laughed dismissively. "What kind of a hobo can you be?""Don't you see who your opponent is?" Jonathan added while still looking at Rayan with a condescending gaze.Shane simply replied, "I am a husband who is disturbed by your behavior."After saying that, Shane actually took Charlott

Shane smiled even wider, showing his white and neat teeth, "Yes, it's even good, admiring your husband is even encouraged."After saying that, Shane stroked Charlotte's hair affectionately. Of course that little action instantly made the sweet lady's cheeks blush."Shane, it's not nice to be seen by people," Charlotte said, still blushing.Shane chuckled at his wife's response and said, "You're even more beautiful when you're so shy."Charlotte gritted her teeth, "Stop it please!”The woman immediately turned her gaze back to her husband again.“Let’s have dinner! I know this area.”Charlotte swallowed, feeling uncomfortable but still asking curiously, "When you go around?"Shane smiled as he heard his wife's words and said softly, "My struggle is not unbearable but yes ... thank God, right? Now the results are visible."Charlotte looked at her husband with a twinkling gaze full of adm

Shane nodded and let Charlotte continue the story."At that time, I was surprised because it was suddenly raining. I didn't have an umbrella with me so I could only use my bag to block the rain so it wouldn't get too wet."Charlotte sighed and saw that her husband seemed to be listening to her story carefully.She said, "When I was going to take shelter, I suddenly bumped into a guy. I slipped at that time. And ... the next incident was just like what you said. I ... will continue where you started repairing the shoes."Charlotte let out a sigh of relief.The young man smiled at her briefly and returned his attention to the black and white shoes he needed to repair.While waiting for the rain to stop, she watched him repair his shoes.The man looked serious and often did not even look in any direction while doing his work.In her heart, Charlotte began to wonder.How can there be such a handsome s

Shane chuckled at that. That of course immediately made Kirana even more confused, "Shane. How come?"Although she was a bit annoyed to hear her husband's response which she thought was very annoying, Charlotte still tried to keep her facial expression relaxed.Shane immediately restored his calm expression again and said, "Charlotte, I often had to say that because I was too mesmerized by your beauty."Charlotte gaped.Was her husband myopic? Or perhaps Shane was visually impaired? Charlottedid not know which was much closer. She was clearly an unattractive girl. Otherwise, Jonathan would not have had the heart to cheat on her and leave her without any guilt.In fact, even now he was laying the blame fully on her. Yet, her husband said as if she had succeeded in luring the handsome man. Charlotte hesitated, "Are you joking or what?""Why are you joking? You really look beautiful. Uh, really beautiful," Shane said with a meaningful smile.Charlotte snorted, maybe her husband was j

Shane stared at his wife whose forehead suddenly puckered. He knew very well that she was holding a big question.Not wanting to make his wife wonder anymore, Shane did not delay in answering, "From books. You know that books are the window to the world. Anything can be learned from there."Charlotte relaxed a little at that answer, but she was still not satisfied. "But how come you're so fluent like that, Shane? Like you're already a pro."Shane smiled softly in response to his wife's response, who still had an unsure look in her eyes, "Yes, because I like to learn, so I don't half-ass it."Charlotte let out a long sigh. She knew her husband was no fool. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get clients or customers from the upper class.Her husband had excellent communication skills and she could see it in the way Shane spoke to the waitress earlier."Do you still have questions about the French?" Shane asked with a calm expression.Charlotte shook her head. Even if she asked ag

As soon as Shane and his wife left the French restaurant, the woman who had insulted Kirana earlier seemed to faint and fell to the floor.Some of the diners looked at her strangely, but she didn't seem to care."Oh, shit. What did I just do?" the woman ruffled her hair, feeling so frustrated.A female waitress approached her and said timidly, "Ms. Agatha, are you alright?"Two male waiters, including the one who served Shane and Charlotte, stood awkwardly with their faces already looking deathly pale.Agatha swatted away the servants' hands and snapped, "It's your fault. Why didn't you tell me that Mr. Shane was here?"The maidservant was immediately frightened while the male servant turned even paler.Exasperated, the woman in the fiery red suit said, "Come to my room right now. All of you!"Agatha got up and pointed with her index finger at the three maids as well as the two other staff who were already trembling in fear.In a fit of rage, Agatha walked to the room on the second fl

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.

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
