The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Jagoan was taken aback when Claudia called him. He never expected her call to be about treating Maria’s

headache.

As he recalled the last time he saw Maria, when he dropped subtle psychological hints, he realized he had

intensified the transmission of reiki, which seemed to have caused some lasting effects. He had been a bit heavy-

handed and now that Claudia called him, it was difficult for him to avoid the situation. “So, you wait for me for a

while. I’ll drive over to you,” he told Claudia.

Claudia’s voice was filled with joy as she replied, “Okay, Brother. Call me when you arrive!”

“Alright,” Jagoan agreed before turning to Jagoan. “Honey, I have something to attend to and need to go out. I’ll be

back soon.”

Curious, Jagoan asked, “It’s past 8 o’clock. Who’s looking for you at this late hour?”

Jagoan didn’t hide anything and answered frankly, “It’s Claudia. Her classmate is facing a little trouble and wants

me to help.”

Perplexed, Jagoan inquired, “What kind of trouble? Is it serious?”

Jagoan smiled and responded, “She’s feeling a little unwell. I have a feeling she’s been bewitched. I’ll go and check

if there’s something wrong with the Feng Shui in their bedroom.”

Jagoan nodded and said, “Alright, go ahead, Just make sure you don’t come back too late.”

“Okay,” Jagoan replied with a slight smile. He grabbed the car keys and left the house.

On his way to the university, Jagoan couldn’t help but wonder if Maria still remembered him. Although he had

confirmed it once, something in his heart felt off. However, he didn’t dwell on it too much. For Jagoan, the best way

to uncover lies was through psychological hints. If Maria truly remembered him,

he had no reliable way to prove it. Regardless, he didn’t let himself get entangled in this matter because he firmly

believed that he and Maria were not enemies. Setting aside the fact that he had saved her, the deep rooted

animosity between the Warriors Den and himself placed them on the same side. With this understanding, whether

Maria lied or not wasn’t that important to Jagoan.

Meanwhile, in the girl’s dormitory, Claudia was changing her outfit. She caught sight of Maria and couldn’t help but

smile.

“Claudia, why are you putting on lipstick so late?” Maria asked, amused.

Claudia blushed slightly and replied, “I’m going out to pick up Jagoan. If I don’t go, he won’t be able to make it.”

Maria gave her a quick once over and teasingly remarked, “They say women dress up for themselves. Are you

dressed so formally and wearing lipstick because Jagoan is the man of your dreams?”

Shaking her head vigorously, Claudia adjusted her hair, feeling a twinge of guilt. She said with slight unease, “That’s

not it… I treat Jagoan like my own brother and he has helped me a lot. I’m truly grateful to him.”

Maria spoke earnestly, “Sometimes love grows from gratitude, step by step. If love were a fruit, gratitude would be

the best fertilizer.”

Nervously, Claudia replied, “Please don’t say such things, Cathy. Jagoan is already married. If such rumors spread, it

would harm the happiness of his family. Besides, I really don’t see him as the man of my dreams…”

Maria smiled subtly and spoke calmly, “You don’t need to convince me. As long as you can convince yourself.”

Panicking, Claudia assured her, “I won’t say anything silly. I’ll go downstairs and wait for Jagoan and I’ll bring him up

when he arrives.”

Maria asked, “Has he arrived yet?”

“Not yet,” Claudia answered without hesitation. “I’ll wait for him downstairs for a while so I don’t waste time going

down when he arrives.”

Maria stopped teasing and nodded lightly. She said, “Thank you, Claudia. I won’t come down. I have a terrible

headache. Please tell him, so he doesn’t think I’m impolite.”

“Okay,” Claudia nodded and said. “Just wait here. I’ll inform the housekeeper and then I’ll bring him up. Jagoan is

very capable. Once he arrives, your migraine will definitely be cured!”

With that, she hurriedly left the dormitory, descended the stairs and waited outside.

Maria forced a smile all the while, despite her excruciating headache.

After Claudia left, her complexion grew weak and the pain intensified. Still, she subconsciously approached the

mirror to examine herself and adjust her appearance. She rubbed her cheeks, trying to ease the tension in her

facial muscles. In her subconscious, she worried that Jagoan would see her looking terribly ill.

More than ten minutes later, Jagoan arrived at the university. He drove directly to the foreign student’s dormitory

building.

About to call Claudia, he spotted her standing by the roadside. Claudia also recognized Jagoan’s license plate and

dashed towards him with delight.

When Jagoan parked the car and opened the door, Claudia reached him and said somewhat shyly, “Jagoan, you’re

here…”

Jagoan nodded slightly and asked, “What about your roommate? How is she?”

Claudia replied, “Her headache hasn’t subsided yet. She’s waiting in the dormitory. She asked me to inform you that

her migraine is severe, so she didn’t come down to greet you, please don’t take it as a sign of rudeness.”

Jagoan nodded and smiled, “No problem. I’ll go up and see her.”

A thought suddenly struck him and he asked Claudia, “Can I enter the girl’s dormitory? Back in my school days,

boys weren’t allowed inside.”

Claudia smiled and answered, “I’ve heard that ordinary female dormitories don’t allow boys, but the rules are more

relaxed for foreign student’s dormitories. As long as the girls help with registration, opposite sex visitors can enter.

However, there’s an 11 o’clock curfew and you can’t stay overnight.”

Jagoan nodded, saying, “If it’s just a minor headache, it should resolve quickly. It won’t take too long.”

Claudia was overjoyed and quickly registered downstairs in the dormitory before hurrying back to the room. As they

reached the dormitory door, before Claudia could open it, the ring in Jagoan’s pocket began to vibrate once more.

Jagoan had grown accustomed to this peculiar ring’s behavior. In his eyes, there were only two known purposes for

this mystical item. One purpose was to siphon his reiki without any ethical boundaries, giving nothing in return. The

other purpose was to act as a sensor specifically attuned to Maria. Whenever Maria was nearby, the ring would

react intensely, indicating something significant.
