The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 268

Looking at the condescending Jacob who was walking on the path of no return, Charlie shook his head dejected and returned to his room.

Claire had already taken her shower and she put on lavender silk spaghetti pajamas.

Her pajamas exposed her shoulders. Her skin was so soft and smooth like the silk pajamas and the pajamas barely covered her back and hugged her figure snugly. Charlie felt his throat going unusually dry tonight as he stared intensely at Claire.

She was lying sideways on the bed. The thin and silky pajamas lay on the graceful curves of her body like artificial skin. The skirt covered her thighs and her long fair legs stretched out lazily on the bed.

Claire blushed timidly as she noticed Charlie's intense glare that she chided, "Stop looking at me like that, it's not like you haven't seen it before."

Charlie plastered a sheepish grin on his face. "Dear, you’re so beautiful that it’s never enough."

Claire rolled her eyes at his ridiculous remark but there was a spark of delight in her eyes.

Charlie really surprised her today. All the while, she thought that Charlie had some menial skills in fortune telling as well as martial arts, but she never expected him to be so powerful and awesome.

He had even saved her best friend's life at a critical moment like that! It was extraordinary!

She couldn’t help but ask, "Charlie, tell me, how did you become so powerful all of sudden? You can even defeat the Butcher Brothers so easily."

Charlie grinned smugly. "It's a secret, but I'll tell you if you let me kiss you."

Claire smacked her lips in slight annoyance and said with a blush, "Dream on!"

Charlie was aroused by the sight of Claire's seemingly seductive posture. He quickly turned around and opened the closet to take the quilt, but was stunned by the sight.
