Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 10. An Accusation
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. You'll get caught

"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. I be

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

The driver turned around and replied after smiling, “That’s right, ma'am."Charlotte swallowed, for the first time somewhat surprised at being called "ma'am". She immediately turned to her husband who was staring at her with a furrowed brow. "Why, Charlotte?""I look old, don't I, Shane?" Charlotte asked in a whispered tone of voice.That made Shane even more surprised. He replied in an astonished tone, "So why did you say that?""Didn't you hear me, Shane? The driver called me 'ma'am'," Charlotte explained.The laughter was unavoidable. Shane even touched his wife's hair out of excitement. "How come you're laughing, Shane?" Charlotte said, again frowning.Shane shook his head and immediately touched his wife's hand and clasped it, "Thank you, Charlotte. Thank you.""Thank you for what?" It was now Charlotte who looked at her husband with her eyebrows raised in confusion.Shane gently rubbed the back of his wife's hand and said, "For accepting my proposal. I ... feel like a lucky m

Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 87. The Ending
Hearing the horrifying accusation, Charlotte immediately widened her eyes, "You can make it like that?"Meanwhile, shocked, Shane said, "Mom, I don't understand how you can think like that."Charles clucked his tongue in defeat at the words of his daughter and son-in-law. Instead, the old man said, "Shane. You are also a man."He stood up from his chair and looked at Shane as if assessing what his son-in-law was thinking. "And that's why I can also tell that you must be thinking of a foul plan to bring another woman into your household. Right?" Charles said with a slight glare.Barbara said again before the couple could argue, "You are, Charlotte. Wives, don't be so stupid and don't obey your husbands too much. Didn't you know you were being cheated on?"Mita was truly shocked by the drama that was usually presented on the television station. Unfortunately, now the drama was happening in front of her eyes and involving her. Oh, the young girl felt like she was on the set. She let o

Charlotte became increasingly uncomfortable and she then said to her husband, "Just a moment, Shane. Let Mita stop by for a moment. Earlier ... she was vomiting. When she's picked up, it's okay to go home." Shane was surprised to hear his wife's words so he asked, "Why did you vomit?""Well, Mita took the bus with me and it turns out she's never taken the bus before. So ... maybe because she was not used to it and was shocked that she vomited," Charlotte explained.Shane gaped and looked at his younger cousin with a shocked gaze. In his gaze, it was as if he was asking, 'Are you taking the bus? Isn't that wrong?'However, Mita casually answered her cousin's gaze by saying, "Look, Shane. I ... feel close to Charlotte and like being friends with her. So, even though I almost couldn't make it on the bus, I still wanted to come here."Then, the young girl again gave a look like a little kitten and said again, "I've been struggling to vomit like this, how come I wasn't given permission t

"Wait a minute, Wina. Why is this going everywhere?" Charlotte replied with irritation.Mita also knew and could sense that her sister-in-law was very annoyed with the person they were talking to.Wina clucked her tongue and responded, "Yes, since you got married, you really rarely go out. You never join our neighborhood activities. Well, if your husband doesn't forbid you, who does?"Charlotte exhaled and tried to be more patient again, "Gosh, Wina. Can you not guess about anything including the reason why I never go out anymore or participate in neighborhood events?"Wina rolled her eyes as if reluctant to listen but Charlotte continued to explain, "Just so you know, I can't participate in neighborhood events around here because I don't have time.""Ih, you're really busy, Charlotte. You've never changed, being the best and feeling better than everyone else," Charlotte said, sounding sarcastic.Mita was quite surprised by the words that so clearly said that Charlotte had always had

As if she had forgotten that she was with Charlotte, Mita focused only on enduring the nausea that began to attack her.Charlotte herself who was watching the girl out of concern immediately took a plastic bag from her pocket."Are you nauseous, Mit?" Charlotte asked in a tone that sounded very worried.Mita swallowed her saliva with difficulty. She seemed to know that she was not well due to the constant shaking that had caused her stomach to churn.So when she heard Charlotte's question, she quickly nodded her head.Charlotte immediately offered a black plastic bag which made Mita even more nauseous. The girl subtly refused the object offered by her sister-in-law.Charlotte understood that and did not take offense. She then looked outside, "It's okay, we're about to arrive. Just hold on!"Mita nodded her head weakly this time because she really could barely hold back her nausea.The girl held her stomach as if commanding her body not to vomit before she reached their destination bus
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 83. A Big Secret
Before Faye could reply to Charlotte, the young woman suddenly heard one of her close friends at the minimarket speak, "Never mind, Faye. When we debate with Charlotte, we lose."Faye clucked her tongue but then she nodded in agreement, "Oh, that's true. It feels like we never win when we argue with her.""Yeah, that's why it's useless so whatever Charlotte and her allies want to say," Abby said, who then pulled Faye's hand away from the area. Mita just shook her head at the behavior of her two coworkers and let out a long breath.The girl commented, "I wonder! They don't like you that much, Sister. How strange!" Charlotte just chuckled in response and instead asked Mita to help her with something else so that they would no longer discuss the matter. The day of preparation for the event held by the big company ended smoothly. Charlotte was quite exhausted when she said goodbye to her coworkers before she left the minimarket. Her husband could not pick her up so she walked alone t

Cecilia and Percy were silent when they heard Charlotte's words as if they realized that even though they knew Charlotte was laughing at them, they could not argue anymore. Therefore, Charlotte casually said, "Well, I guess we have to excuse ourselves first, Dad, Mom."However, before Charlotte could pull her husband's hand away, he gently said, "Honey, wait a minute. I have something to give to mom and dad."Charles and Barbara looked at each other in confusion but they didn't respond and remained silent. Shane reached into his backpack and pulled out a white envelope and placed it next to his father-in-law's plate. "Dad, this is the money you asked for yesterday," Shane said.Barbara glared in shock, while Charles glanced at the envelope with a surprised look. Cecilia and Percy, meanwhile, only glanced at it. However, Shane didn't wait for his in-laws' reactions and instead got up from his chair. The young man said, "Excuse me, Dad. Charlotte seems to be tired and needs to rest
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 81. You Freak!
"Why should I be ashamed of my profession? Everything I do is halal and without cheating others," Shane said.Charlotte looked at her husband whose calmness was worth two thumbs up. "You freak! Having such a lowly profession, how come you still look proud," Cecilia said, openly insulting her brother-in-law. Shane smiled faintly and responded, "I am of course proud because even though my position is only that of a shoe repairman but ... I never bother others and I am independent."Surprisingly, Shane's words made Percy angry. In fact, Cecilia looked at Shane with an angry glare. "Independent? What can be considered independent? You and Charlotte are still staying at mom and dad's house." Cecilia said with a dismissive look. She then turned to her husband, "Look at me and Percy. We ... can be called independent because we have our own house and ... the house is in both of our names."But after saying that, Cecilia heard Charlotte laugh suddenly. "What the hell? Why are you laughing

"Why are you asking about Percy's company? You wouldn't know where his company is either," Barbara said in a mocking tone. Charles, who was not looking at Shane, also said, "Yes, even if you were told by Percy about the company where Percy works, you wouldn't know. So, why would you know?"Charlotte, who was beginning to see that her parents were beginning to act unfavorably toward her husband, let out a long sigh.She also looked at Percy and Cecilia who looked proud of themselves. In fact, she now understood why only she and Shane were invited to the event. Her sister Beatrice and her husband were not invited. Actually, she already felt strange when the thanksgiving celebration was held at her parents' house instead of Cecilia and Percy's own house. It turned out that it was because Cecilia and Percy were probably not sure if she and Shane would want to come to their house. The reason is that their purpose in inviting the couple was just to show off and that is now very clear i

"Brother, do you have amnesia or something?" Mita replied in a tone that sounded annoyed. The impatient Shane massaged his temples from dizziness but still responded, "There, hurry up. Tell me what you want, Mita. There's some work I need to get done right away."Mita clucked her tongue, "Oh, you're really busy being a person, Shane.""It's busy, not pretentious," Shane replied, whose patience was already running thin with his younger cousin who was really testing his patience. The young man gritted his teeth and held back his irritation and said, "If you don't speak within five seconds, I'll hang up the phone."Hearing a threat that sounded serious, Mita quickly said, "You know, Shane. How can you just hang up. I want to talk too.""Well, hurry up and don't take too long," Shane said.Shane took a deep breath and had even started smoothing his hair to overcome his irritation. "Shane, there's no way you wouldn't know about our company anniversary, right?" Mita suddenly said in a to
