The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Chapter 4006

Charlie's arrival delighted Mrs. Lewis, putting her in a joyful mood.

She told Stephanie to close the store early. Then, she took Charlie, Stephanie, and Claudia to the market with her to buy ingredients for dinner.

Mrs. Lewis bought ingredients for all the dishes she was proficient at making, claiming that she would make a most sumptuous dinner to welcome Charlie.

Charlie helped carry the ingredients into the car after their shopping trip ended. Then, they went to Mrs. Lewis' home in Vancouver. Stephanie was the one who drove.

After she started living in Canada, she got her driver's license and bought a secondhand Chevrolet sedan to drive Mrs. Lewis and Claudia back and forth home and Oskiatown daily.

Charlie didn't expect Stephanie to buy such a low-end secondhand car. Curious, he asked, "Stephanie, why don't you buy a better car?"

Stephanie replied with a smile, "A car's just a means of transportation. There's no need to buy something so expensive. Used cars and their insurance are cheap. I can save a lot of money, and I won't feel bad about getting the car scratched. Anyway, the car doesn't take up a lot of space and has low fuel consumption. It's small and practical!"

Charlie was doubtful. "You should've at least bought a new car. Never mind, I'll give you one later."

But Stephanie was quick to reject the offer. "Brother Charlie, please don't do that. Even if you give me a new car, I won't use it. Don't you know how I am? I grew up in the orphanage with you, and I'm used to being thrifty. I don't want anything. Right now, my life's much, much better than how it was back in the orphanage. I'm content with what I have."
