It was Charlie’s mother-in-law, Elaine! 3
The person accompanying Elaine at this time was none other than her husband, Jacob! 1
Charlie and Claire were a little surprised at this time.
Why were they here? 2
Claire hurried forward before she asked, "Mom! Dad!
Why are you here?"
Elaine replied, "Your aunt and uncle called us to inform us of their intention to check out the houses at Thompson First as they’re intending to buy a house here. They invited us here to help them look around today.”
In fact, Elaine glared at Charlie as she said this sentence because she felt a little annoyed at this time. 2
Elaine did not want to come here today because she had just gotten into an argument with her daughter last night as she wanted to move out of their house.
Unexpectedly, she actually received a phone call from Christopher, asking her and her husband to come over to check out the properties with them. 1
What did they want them to check out? Weren’t they just trying to show off the fact that they were going to purchase a house at Thompson First? 1
Elaine felt very uncomfortable at this time but she did
not dare to reject her elder brother's invitation.
Therefore, she rushed over with Jacob as soon as she received the phone call. 6
This was also the reason why she was so upset with Charlie. If she had a capable son-in-law, then she would be able to live in Thompson First! 2
