67. Strange, How?
Last Updated:
2025-01-25 13:02:48Actually, 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.

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 ...

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.

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

Manhattan, New York“You don't earn much and you're already 32. You'd better get married before you become a spinster.”The long, curly-haired woman named Barbara sighed in exasperation as she glanced at her daughter, Charlotte, who was about to leave for work.“I'm tired of people calling you a ‘spinster’. Besides, if you get married, your husband can help give me some extra money,” she continued lightlyCharlotte was silent, with no intention of replying to her mother. Instead, she wanted to leave, but then her father's voice reached her.“If you can't find a husband, I'll find one for you. You just have to accept it,” Charles said, enjoying his hot coffee without bothering to turn to his daughter when he spoke.The good girl with a thin body immediately froze where she stood, unable to move for a few seconds. What is this? Does this mean she's being forced into marriage? She was going to be set up as a match? Is that so?Charlotte wanted to turn around and immediately refute he

Cecilia also added, “Instead of becoming a spinster, Sister. Just accept it, after all, no one necessarily wants you, right? Who else would you be waiting for?”The two younger siblings seemed so united in their support for their parents' idea. However, Charlotte was still tongue-tied so she couldn't immediately argue.“All your friends are married, you're the only one who isn't. Aren't you ashamed that you haven't married yourself?” Barbara added with a stern tone.Charlotte wet her lips and finally said, “No, Mom. I don't like being set up.”Beatrice and Cecilia were eager to speak again but Barbara told them to be quiet first. “Uh, I don't like your refusal. They're already planning to come here,” Barbara began to sound angry.“It's just a plan, Mom. It can be canceled,” Charlotte replied.Charles, annoyed by her reply, said, “Don't embarrass me! Anyway, you just get ready. Next week you propose to Oliver.”“But, Dad. I-”“I don't want to know, you have to marry that rich widower.

Concern suddenly enveloped Charlotte's heart. Obviously it was a very difficult choice. Even though Oliver was someone who liked to play with women, he still had sufficient assets. Her life would definitely be guaranteed if she chose Oliver. However, the thought of having to watch that person play with another woman made it impossible for her to endure it. Meanwhile, if she chose Shane, who was just a shoe sole maker, the economic problem was clearly at hand. “Charlotte, answer there quickly,” Barbara ordered with a stern expression. Charlotte's daydreams were shattered. She looked back at the man whose name she didn't yet know with a confused look. "Why do you want to marry me?" Beatrice, who was sitting next to her mother, immediately spoke up, "Jeez, Charlotte. If you ask, just accept it." "If you don't want to be with Oliver, it's fine if you want this one," Charles said, without mentioning the young man's name. Meanwhile, Cecilia, who was still dressed neatly, clicked he

"But, Mom. We're-" "Sweat it up!" Barbara interrupted, pointing at the floor while she sat on the sofa with her husband, two other daughters and two sons-in-law. Charlotte clenched her fists in annoyance. She was forced to bend down to fold the mat. But, unexpectedly, Shane held her arm, as if forbidding her to do that. Barbara raised her right eyebrow, "Huh, what are you waiting for, Charlotte?" "Shane," Charlotte called in a confused tone. Shane said, "You just go inside, I'll take care of it." Beatrice, who heard this, immediately blurted out, "Oh, so sweet!" She also clapped for Shane but then added, "Then don't forget to wash these dirty glasses too, okay?" She used his eyes to tell Shane. Charlotte said, "Shane, I-" "You just come in," Shane said. Charlotte shook her head but Shane insisted, "You just come in. Trust me, I'll take care of it." The young woman really wanted to argue, but seeing her new husband's unwilling gaze, she suddenly complied and finally went in

Shane wasn't offended and instead smiled a little, "Yeah. There's no way I could give my wife money that wasn't the result of my work." Charlotte was stunned by the way Shane referred to her. She stammered back, “Shane, but it's ten thousand dollars. This is the same as my salary for five months, Shane." "All this is the result of fixing shoes?" Charlotte said, still looking in disbelief. "Yes, you already know that I am a shoe sole maker," Shane nodded, confirming Charlotte's words. However, Charlotte still didn't have that answer and asked again, "How long did it take you to collect this money, Shane?" Shane replied, "Okay, you don't need to think about that. The important thing is that you just use it." Charlotte still looked doubtful and unsure. But when she remembered that her mother needed additional capital money for a small shop in the market that had been closed for a week, she immediately asked her husband quietly, "Shane, if that's the case, can I give this to my mo

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
