The two sisters looked at Charlie in awe.
Kate was utterly confused. When did her husband become so capable?
He was actually able to buy a Maserati MC12.
That was a luxury car worth millions of dollars.
Madison was equally shocked.
Was there a wire crossed somewhere?
Wasn't her brother-in-law supposed to be nothing more than a leech?
Wasn't he supposed to be doing nothing right now? Wasn't he supposed to have no job, and still be relying on her sister for support?
This couldn't possibly be right!
But the most shocked of all about this was Leo Larden.
His jaw had dropped so far down, you could stuff an ostrich egg in his open mouth.
Initially, all he wanted to do was use the Maserati as a prop to beat Charlie down.
But the person he wanted to humiliate all along was the actual car owner. That caused an incredibly awkward tension...
The old women started murmuring.
"So it turns out the car actually belongs to that handsome guy!"
"This chubby guy isn't honest!"
...
In an effort to lessen his embarrassment, he leaned in close to Charlie, put an arm around his shoulder, smiled, and said to the old women, "Ladies, this man and I are brothers. We were just messing with you."
Charlie brushed off Leo's hand.
"Sorry, but I don't know you."
Seeing this, the women's blood began to boil.
"This chubby guy is no good!"
"That car isn't his! Could his fat, puffy face have the gall to suggest it was?"
"This is prime gossip nugget. I'll have to let the whole community know about this, so no woman has the misfortune of marrying him."
The old women kept talking and talking.
It resulted in Leo's face turning red. He wanted to dig a hole and hide.
But in the end, he just ran away.
Although Cherry Blossom Community was a community of senior citizens, it was very large. It wasn't the only unit, so it was likely those old women didn't know Leo before all this.
However, their eyes were now fixed on the car's real owner.
He looked like the classic handsome and rich type, who always made for an ideal son-in-law.
The old aunties immediately gathered around him enthusiastically, hoping they could matchmake with him.
"Young man, you are so handsome. My family has a daughter. Would you be willing to consider it?"
"My family has two! You can directly have whichever one you want to marry."
"My family has three! You can have them all."
...
"I appreciate your kindness, ladies. But I already have a wife."
Charlie looked towards the two sisters.
The women followed Charlie's gaze and came to see Kate and Madison, who were standing not too far away.
My goodness, they were twin beauties.
They were more beautiful than actresses you see on TV.
That young man had a beautiful wife.
Even if it wasn't known for sure which one was his.
It wouldn't be strange to imply they both were his, actually.
How could he possibly fall for one of the daughters suggested by the old women?
One should get a sense of self-awareness eventually.
So, after a little while longer, the crowd cleverly found a way to disperse.
They soon left.
Charlie looked at the two sisters carefully.
It was hard for him to recognize which of the two was his wife, but he soon remembered the outfit Kate had worn that morning.
He sighed softly. The two sisters looked so similar, what if one day he made a mistake in identifying which was which?
...
Charlie had no plans to let Kate cook for him anymore. After all, his sister-in-law was also here. He was ready to take the couple out to eat.
The Maserati MC12 was driven onto the road.
The famous body, the unmistakable hot engine sound, combined with the two high-quality chicks in the car, became the scene that attracted the most attention wherever they went.
Cars coming and going on the road kept their distance for fear of an accident.
After all, it was a luxury car worth millions. If they damaged it in a freak accident, most ordinary people would never have the money to cover the repairs.
Kate sat in the shotgun seat. Her curly hair was blown by the wind.
She felt as if all this couldn't possibly be real.
As for being taken for a ride in a luxury car, it wasn't accurate to say she hadn't done something like that before.
In video games, Charlie often took her around in luxury cars.
This was the first time he took her for a ride in a luxury car in reality, though.
Kate was very curious.
She wondered where Charlie got the money to buy this car.
Was it money he earned secretly?
After all, Charlie played video games very well.
Could it be he had been secretly making money all along, serving as a video game mentor?
Regardless, she thought her husband was the best!
Sitting in the back seat was Madison.
After calming down, she increasingly felt as if this car wasn't bought by Charlie.
How could a man who relied on her sister afford a luxury car that cost somewhere in the realm of ten million?
Thinking back to the coffee shop the day before, she explicitly remembered Charlie asking for more spending money from her sister.
That's when Madison had an enlightenment. She believed there was an 80% chance Charlie had used the money transferred to him by her sister to just rent the car.
Ha! That sly man. He almost convinced her that he was actually capable.
But at this moment, Charlie produced the car ownership certificate.
"Katey, I'm giving this car to you. So, keep the certificate."
After receiving his reward, Charlie had ordered the system to change the name on the car's certificate to Kate Ford.
After two years of marriage, where Charlie was always taken care of by Kate, this was the first gift he had ever given her.
With a blank expression, Kate received the car certificate.
"This… is for me?"
Madison leaned forward to look at it.
The car certificate indeed had her sister's name written on it.
The model number and everything matched correctly.
She was shocked.
Oh my God.
Not only was the car not a rental, it was also a gift for her sister.
A surprise like this was too touching.
If there was ever a man willing to treat her like this, she would marry him on the spot.
Charlie gazed at Kate deeply, as she sat in the passenger seat.
"These two years have been tough on you. From now on, I will take care of you. I will make you the happiest woman in the world!"
Kate felt as if she was being flirted with by Charlie. A blush of shame appeared on her cheeks.
"I can take care of myself."
"No need. Let me take care of you."
Madison, who looked like she had just chewed a sour grape, now truly wanted to cry.
She seriously suspected her sister had lied to her earlier.
Yes, that must have been a lie!
Where was the Charlie who was supposed to be freeloading?
He wasn't supposed to work.
He wasn't supposed to have money.
He was supposed to be supported by her sister.
If that were so, how could he give a ten-million-dollar luxury car as a gift?
Her brother-in-law was clearly a trophy husband.
He had money, a handsome face, a little generosity, and a lot of consideration.
You couldn't find a man like that with a lantern.
No wonder why her sister forbade her from saying bad things about him.
What a terrible sister!
There might have been some good intentions mixed in the middle of all this, she bet. Maybe she just made her brother-in-law sound so bad, because she was afraid she would be snatched away.
Even if the other woman, competing for his love, was actually her own sister.
Then again, that was a despicable thing to consider.
