Barbara swallowed, "Are you kidding me, Charlotte?"

Charles, who had been surprised, now looked at Shane fiercely.

"Hyh, you. Answer me honestly! Where did you steal?" Charles hissed with a glint in his eye.

"I didn't steal," Shane said firmly, looking fearlessly at his father-in-law.

"Then do you want us to believe that a shoe solver like you can make this much money? Do you really think we're idiots?" Charles retorted, still glaring at his son-in-law.

Shane said, "Anything is possible, sir. What is impossible in this world?"

Barbara clucked her tongue but made no further comment. Until Charlotte, who was fed up with the attitude of her parents, said, "Just like this, Dad, Mom. If you don't believe the money is from Shane's work, just give it back to me."

The woman was about to take back the money in her mother's hand, but Barbara rudely swatted Charlotte's hand away.

"It's all right, you've already given me the money, do you want to take it back? Isn't it kind of you to give it?" B

    Charlotte gaped, shocked that her brother-in-law would dare to tell her husband like that. Meanwhile, Percy himself added, "It's a shame to have a brother-in-law who can fix shoes but not use them.""Yes, Charlotte. Instead of us having to find another shoe repairman, let's come here," Cecilia said, who stood leaning against a pillar with her arms crossed.Shane still didn't respond so Percy said again, "Take it easy, I'll pay. How much is the fare? One dollar? Two Dollars?"Percy picked up his wallet and was about to take out the money, but Cecilia stopped him quickly, "Ih, why are you paying? It's with your own family. Is it okay to charge?"Charlotte rolled her eyes lazily. She even thought that her husband might not be willing to do that. However, he casually said, "I can't do it today." "Huh?" Charlotte said in shocked disbelief, but she could not comment further.Percy sighed in annoyance. The smile from earlier had faded from his face."How come you can't? Why? Prefer to fi

    Charlotte suddenly looked into the eyes of her husband who seemed to be looking at her deeply. The first eyes that looked at her so warmly and sincerely.Gosh, even her former lover never looked at her like that. Jonathan, her ex who said he loved her so much, never really looked at her. A feeling of guilt immediately came over her. The woman ventured to say, "Shane, sorry. Actually, it's not like that."She was clearly uncomfortable with the situation and Shane could feel it too.Shane sighed softly again, "I should be the one apologizing to you."Charlotte looked confused at her husband.Shane smiled instead, "Yes, it was my fault. I pushed you too hard, urged you. You ... must have needed time.""But, Shane ....""It's okay, Charlotte. I will wait patiently for you to be ready," Shane replied as he smoothed his wife's slightly messy hair.As if she had just remembered something, Charlotte finally said, "Uh, Shane. I have an invitation.""What invitation?" Shane asked in a somewha

    Since Faye and her friends were just staring and not answering her, Charlotte impatiently said, "Come on, anyone can come with me to the bathroom to see if I'm really menstruating or just lying."Challenged like that, one of the employees finally responded, "How disgusting! Why would you go to such lengths?"“That’s right. I think this is just a trick by Charlotte. She knows that everyone will be disgusted, so she confidently says that. No one wants to follow her to the toilet," another friend said.Charlotte sighed, getting tired of responding to those people who did not like her.However, she still did not want to be accused of something she did not do. She was even pure until that moment and she would defend herself until she was found innocent. "Oh, there's another way," Faye said suddenly.Abby immediately asked, "What way, ma'am?"Faye grinned, "A pregnancy test."Charlotte snorted, while almost all of her friends looked happy about Faye's idea."That's good.

    "Where do you think?" Charlotte asked back.The employee who was one year younger than Charlotte stammered back, "Wh-what do you mean? Why are you asking me?"Faye was indeed surprised, but she tried to remain brave and then moved to defend her friend. "Report to the boss? How could the boss believe you?" Faye asked with a half-mocking smile.Charlotte nodded, as if she understood Faye's meaning, "The boss won't defend me, that's why I won't report to the boss.""Where then?" Faye said with her chin up."The police. There's a police station not too far from here," Charlotte said.Faye widened her eyes, while her other friend was already getting pale. "You're joking, right?""No, I'm not. You guys accusing me like that wasn't a joke either, right?" Charlotte replied who was now tired of constantly giving in.Suddenly everyone fell silent, beginning to fear that Charlotte would actually do what she said.Not wanting to deal with the police, one of them spoke up, "Never mind, guys.

    Charlotte again could only sigh softly. She also tried to restrain herself desperately and then put away all the wild questions that popped up in her head.She could not find the right words about her husband. What was clear was that he was too mysterious.Shane was strange from the start. He proposed to her without much preparation, married her suddenly and even on their wedding day, none of his family members came.For that matter, she really wanted to ask her husband. However, she was afraid that her curiosity would offend him.But, it's been almost a week and her husband didn't seem to want to reveal the things that she still didn't know.Besides, it was the issue of money that always made Charlotte wonder. Her husband was obviously a cobbler. She had seen it herself. She had witnessed him repairing his customers' shoes.However, he seemed to have so much money that Charlotte couldn't stop thinking about the amount of money he had. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Shane ask

    "Charlotte," her husband called her in a fairly soft tone.Charlotte stammered, "Y-yes, Shane.""So, how is it? Which one do you like?" Charlotte asked while pointing at a beautiful necklace with a heart-shaped pendant.Not wanting to keep her husband waiting, Charlotte finally said, "You choose. I'll love anything."Hearing that, Rayan smiled. "Yes, you sit down first, I will choose it or you.""Yes, Shane."Next, Charlotte saw her husband choosing several kinds of jewelry which when the cashier mentioned the total price, Charlotte could only gape. But, to Charlotte's surprise, Shane used cash to pay. "Alright, now let's get some clothes for us and some other stuff," Shane said.Charlotte swallowed with difficulty but she still obediently followed Shane.She was curious about her husband's money which she thought was too much, but she would not confront Shane at the moment.They spent almost two hours buying the items. It seemed impossible for him to earn money through unlawful me

    Charlotte winced when she heard her husband's words, as if Shane could read what she was thinking. She hesitantly said, "If I'm honest, I'm actually a bit surprised. You work as a shoe repairman but ... you have so much money."Charlotte moistened her lips, getting nervous. Especially since Shane was now staring at her unblinkingly, she became even more nervous. But, she didn't want to offend her husband so she added, "I’m so sorry, Shane. It's not that I'm insulting your work. It's not like that at all. But, how come you can earn so much money from repairing shoes?""You don't have any other jobs?" Charlotte added in a tone that sounded very cautious.Shane responded with a warm smile, "My job is just like what you see, Charlotte.""You already know that I fix shoes. You've even seen me work in person, right?" Charlotte nodded, confirming her husband's words.That was not in doubt at all. Her husband even looked very skilled at what he did and the work was very good.In Shane's ha

    "You will find out later. Now, you get ready first!" Shane said who again sounded mysterious to Charlotte's ears.Shane shook his head"Don't forget to double check, don't miss anything!" Shane added.Charlotte wanted to ask again, but she tried to restrain herself and immediately organized her and her husband's equipment.Shane himself was seen taking his cell phone and typing something on it. Charlotte did not ask and just rechecked their belongings.After making sure everything was ready, Charlotte said, "Shane, I’m ready."Shane nodded and smiled at his wife, "Come on, let's go straight to the terrace.""Did we take an online taxi from the front of the house, Shane?" Charlotte asked with a surprised look."Yes, so you don't have to walk much," Shane replied who, before Charlotte could ask again, had already been grabbed by her husband to walk out of the room.When they arrived at the front porch of the house, their two parents who were seen lounging in front stared at them in surp

    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
