The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1165

Charlie watched Elaine limp into the yard with crutches and a huge shoulder bag on her back, which was obviously stuffed with a lot of things that made the bag look bulky. He instantly knew that his mother-in-law was up to no good. 1

Claire asked in surprise, "Mom, where have you been? I couldn't find you anywhere in the house the whole morning." 2

Elaine answered with a laugh, "Oh, I went to the wholesale market this morning and bought something!" 8

Claire chided, "Mom, your legs need some time to heal. You should be resting at home, why did you go around?"

"Nah, it's nothing," Elaine waved her hand indifferently and said, "You would’ve thought that I can’t go around with these crutches, right? I'm used to it now and besides, my legs don't hurt anymore. I only get a little tired with the crutches, that's all. I'm fine." 1

Claire asked again, "Mom, what did you buy anyway? You must be tired of carrying the large bag, let me help you!" 1

Elaine giggled and said, "I’m fine, it's all hats inside. It isn't very heavy." "Hats?" Elaine's answer did not ease Claire’s curiosity a

t all-in fact, it made her more puzzled. "Mom, why do you buy so many hats? Judging from the size, there must be a dozen hats inside, right?” 9

Elaine put down the bag with a wicked smirk on her face and unzipped the bag.

Claire and Charlie looked over curiously and was astounded to find the bag packed with green hats.

Elaine reached into the bag and retrieved a few hats of all shapes and sizes, and they were all green in color.

Claire mumbled, dumbstruck, "Mom...why did you buy so many green hats...who would want to wear such hats..."

Elaine laughed out loud and said, "Oh no, these aren't for wearing but for hanging on the balcony instead! I bought about twenty various green hats and I want to hang them all!" 1

"You watched the video of your grandma's commotion in the hospital, didn’t you? That d*mned Hannah cheated on Christopher and it's so hilarious and ironic, so how can I miss the opportunity to make fun of them?" 1
