The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1836-1840

Chapter 1836

It's a pity; even with his considerable abilities, he couldn't turn back time. He could only hope for another opportunity. He swore, "Zayne, if I ever face you again, I won't let you go!"

Upon returning to the ward, Charlie Wade was met with Ito Yuihiko's surprised inquiry: "Mr. Wade, do you know Zayne? Is there a connection? Why are you so affected by him?"

Ito Emi and Nanako Ito also eyed Charlie Wade suspiciously, awaiting his explanation.

Chuckling wryly, Charlie Wade exclaimed, "You forgot? I saved his children. He's incredibly wealthy; he should have given me ten billion dollars! Instead, he ran away…"

Ito Yuihiko was speechless. He didn't doubt Charlie Wade's words; in his eyes, Charlie Wade was impeccable. His mother, obsessed with money, would shamelessly blackmail or even exploit others for it. Therefore, Charlie Wade's selfless act of rescuing Fitz and Zara, without demanding payment, was truly out of character.

Nanako Ito laughed. "Charlie Wade, your obsession with money is astounding! Hearing 'Zayne,' you reacted as if he were your murderer, not just a debtor!"

Charlie Wade smiled bitterly. "It's a shame he escaped, but he can't hide forever. He'll have to face this debt eventually."

Nanako Ito nodded and addressed Takehiko Ito: "Otosan, I brought two meals. One's for you, the other for Tanaka-san. May I visit him?"

Ito Yuihiko nodded. "Tanaka's in the next ward. Go ahead."

Nanako Ito turned to Charlie Wade. "Charlie, are you coming?"

Charlie Wade, holding Tanaka in high regard as a rare, good servant, agreed. "Yes, let's go."

Koichi Tanaka, lying in the next ward, was reading. Seeing Nanako Ito and Charlie Wade, he respectfully greeted, "Hello, Miss Ito!"

Nanako Ito smiled, presenting the lunchbox. "Tanaka-san, a home-cooked meal. Please eat while it's hot."

Flattered, Tanaka protested, "Miss, how could I…?"

Nanako Ito insisted, "Tanaka-san, you saved my father. This is a small token of my gratitude."

Hiroshi Tanaka responded sincerely, "Miss, your words are worth more than anything…"

Nanako Ito continued, "Tanaka-san, if you need anything, tell my aunt. Get well soon!"

Hiroshi Tanaka gratefully nodded. Then, tentatively, he asked, "I went to the president's ward this morning. He said Mr. Wade healed your injury?"

Nanako Ito nodded. "Charlie Wade saved my life."

Tanaka thanked Charlie Wade, "Mr. Wade, thank you so much!"

Charlie Wade, still brooding over Zayne, curtly replied, "You're welcome."

Hiroshi Tanaka noticed his displeasure. "Is something wrong, Mr. Wade?"

Nanako Ito charmingly explained, "He missed ten billion dollars and is sulking…"

Chapter 1837

Charlie Wade simply smiled at Nanako without further explanation.

After chatting with Hiroshi Tanaka, Nanako apologetically said, "Tanaka-san, Charlie Wade is returning to Aurouss Hill tonight. I need to accompany him shopping. I'll see you later!"

Hiroshi Tanaka urged them to go, assuring her it wasn't necessary to visit again.

Nanako Ito smiled, "It's no trouble. We've known each other for years."

Hiroshi Tanaka nodded gratefully, wishing Charlie Wade safe travels.

Leaving Tanaka's ward, Nanako Ito accompanied Charlie Wade to Ginza, Tokyo. This was their first shopping trip in Japan. Having bought an Hermès set for his wife, Claire Wilson, on their last trip to Eastcliff, Charlie Wade skipped luggage.

He browsed jewelry, discovering a three-carat heart-shaped diamond ring at Tiffany's. It was exquisite, and he immediately liked it. Remembering he'd never given Claire a wedding ring, he decided to buy it.

The price—around 800,000—wasn't excessive.

Nanako Ito, envious, asked, "Charlie, is this for your wife?"

Charlie Wade nodded. "She's been with me for years, and I've never given her a ring."

Nanako Ito sighed, "You're so kind to your wife…"

Charlie Wade was about to respond when the Tiffany's salesperson inquired about Claire's ring size. This stopped him short. He didn't know her size. The salesperson suggested calling Claire.

Charlie Wade hesitated, wanting it to be a surprise.

Nanako Ito whispered, "Um… Charlie, my hand is similar to your wife's. Let me try it?"

She showed her hand. Charlie Wade, surprised by the similarity, asked her to try it on.

The salesperson handed Charlie Wade the ring. He gently placed it on Nanako Ito's ring finger.

Nanako Ito felt dreamy. Although she knew it was just a test, having Charlie Wade place a diamond ring on her finger was overwhelming.

Chapter 1838

The ring on her finger brought Nanako Ito to tears. She quickly lowered her head, not wanting Charlie Wade to see her. She liked him deeply but didn't want to burden him. She felt his kindness towards her stemmed from empathy, shared as fellow martial artists—understanding each other's struggles and injuries. This wasn't the love she desired; she longed for genuine romantic love, not sympathy.

Charlie Wade, noticing the ring was slightly large, removed it. The salesperson resized it.

Nanako Ito felt a pang of loss as the ring came off. She excused herself to the bathroom to compose herself. She didn't want him to see her cry, knowing he'd be leaving Japan soon to return to his family.

Chapter 1839

Returning from the bathroom, with only slightly red eyes, Nanako Ito bravely smiled and offered to try the ring again.

Charlie Wade gratefully agreed. The resized ring fit perfectly.

Nanako Ito admired the ring, finding it simple yet beautiful and touching. Charlie Wade, too, liked the ring, noting its suitability to Claire's quiet demeanor. He also noted that Nanako's tranquil temperament seemed to suit it even better. He dismissed the thought. After admiring it, she reluctantly removed the ring and handed it to him.

She suggested he have it wrapped.

Chapter 1840

Charlie Wade asked the salesperson to wrap the ring. He then decided to buy a bracelet for his mother-in-law, something flashy.

Nanako Ito discreetly asked the salesperson if the ring was still in stock and asked that it be held for her, explaining that she would send someone to pay later.

Charlie Wade selected a luxurious rose gold bracelet for his mother-in-law, costing about $250,000. He paid for both the ring and bracelet.

Nanako Ito, in high spirits, rejoined Charlie Wade. Her unusual cheerfulness caused him to ask about it, but she playfully kept it a secret.
