Chapter 414


    After getting home and finished making dinner, Jacob, who had been out all day, came home first,


    then followed by ire who had been busy at work the whole day.


    After all the food was served on the table, ine hurried back happily and said proudly, "Hey guys, I


    won more than seven grand from ying cards today!"


    Jacob gasped reflexively, "Wow, dear, that''s awesome! Seven grand a day, that''s two hundred and


    ten grand a month!” 3


    ire frowned, displeased. "Mom, I don’t mind if you y cards asionally in your leisure time


    and a little winning is understandable too, but seven grand a day? Isn''t that a bit too much? Careful


    not to get addicted, it''s very risky!"


    ine waved her hand in disdain and snapped, "Hey, I know what I''m doing, don''t youe to


    lecture me about it. My card mates are a bunch of rookies, they are far worse than me. I can win


    even with my eyes closed! Don’t you know your mom''s nickname around here? The Queen of


    Cards, that''s me!" 5


    ire sighed helplessly and massaged her forehead, ignoring her.


    In the middle of dinner, an iing message notification beeped on ire''s phone. She looked at


    it


    and asked Charlie, "It''s the weekend tomorrow, do you have any ns?"


    "ns? The usual-going to the market, cooking, doingundry, and cleaning the house."


    "Loreen messaged me, saying that she''s booked a suite at the hot spring hotel and she''s asking us


    to join her. I''ll say yes if you don''t have any special ns."


    "What? Hot springs? And you want me to go too?" 4


    ire nodded. "She booked a two-room suite just to invite us, we''ll take a room and she has a room


    by herself. She said that she hasn''t had a chance to invite us for a getaway after being here for so


    long." 1


    ine spruced up rmingly and blurted, "ire! It’s a girls-only trip, why do you want Charlie to


    go? No, he can''t go! He has to stay at home and do the household chores!” 2


    "Mom, she invited him herself! Of course he has to go and we must go together!"


    ine red at ire and huffed, "No way! If you share a room, what if he does something to you?


    You’ll be at a big loss!" 7


    Charlie finally understood his devilish mother-inw''s true intention. She was worried about that...


    ire was irritated by her mother’s remark and said i n a cold tone, "Mom, Charlie and I are


    husband and wife. We''ll settle our own affairs, you don''t have to worry about us." 2


    ine mmed her utensils agitatedly and growled,"

    Why? I''m your mother, it’s my business!” 3


    ire chided back angrily, "Some things are not yours to mind! Keep yourself in line!" 2


    ine mmed the table furiously. "I''m your mother, all your business is my business! I''m in charge


    of your whole life!" 2


    ire blurted, her rebellious fury ignited, "This is none of your business! I said it, Charlie must go!


    No one can stop him! If you want to stop him, I’ll move out!"


    "You..." ine’s face was turning red but she recoiled. ire''s threat to move out was ine’s


    Achilles'' heel.


    She cleared her throat sheepishly and said, "Alright, fine, go ahead then, but you''d better be careful


    or you''ll regret it!"


    Then, she turned to Charlie and said to him with a coy smile, "My dear son-inw, what if you don''t


    go with them tomorrow ande to y cards with me at my friend''s ce? I''ll give you two


    thousand dors as pocket money!" 4


    ine had thought it through. If she couldn''t knock sense into ire’s head, Charlie was her next


    target. If she could persuade Charlie not to go, ire wouldn''t me her for that, would she?


    However, Charlie simply smiled faintly and said," Mom, I don''t y cards, you know that. I think the


    hot springs trip with ire sounds like a better n."
