Chapter 1440
While Nanako was visiting her mentor, Kazuki, she heard the news that Victoria, the Australian athlete that Aurora had defeated in the match today, was also currently receiving treatment at the Silverwing Hospital.Hiroshi had specifically gone to inquire about the matter, and he came back with results that truly shocked Nanako.It turned out that both of Victoria’s arms had been broken by Aurora’s kick during the match. Now, she had already put on a plaster cast, and she had already officially announced her withdrawal from the match to determine third place in the competition for the day after tomorrow. Michelle, the opponent that Nanako defeated, had immediately obtained the title of third place in the competition due to Victoria’s forfeiture.Moreover, Victoria not only withdrew from this competition, but there was a high possibility that she would be retiring completely.This was because the arms were very important for a combat and fighting athlete. After getting her arms brok
Chapter 1441
Jacob did not eat dinner at home that night.According to him, he was having dinner with several leaders of the Calligraphy and Painting Association as well as a few core members of the Senior University.Jacob called Charlie a little after nine o’clock.When Jacob called, Charlie was watching television with his wife in the living room.His mother-in-law, Elaine, had put on a caviar anti-aging facial mask as she lay down on the two-seater sofa in a leisurely manner while she scrolled through her online short video platform. As she was scrolling on her cell phone, she muttered, “Oh! That Japanese girl who came to Aurous Hill to participate in the combat and fighting championship has a pretty good appearance!”Charlie knew that she was definitely talking about Nanako. At this time, he did not say anything, but his cell phone had already started vibrating.When Charlie saw that it was a phone call from Jacob, he hurriedly answered the phone and said, “Hello, Dad.”Jacob sounded a

She was very excited, and she said to Charlie, “My good son-in-law, why didn’t Mom find out that you were so good in the past?”Charlie laughed, but he did not say anything. If he had known that he would be able to deal with a shrewd woman like Elaine simply by spending fifty thousand dollars a month, he would have spent that money a long time ago to save himself from all that trouble.At this time, Elaine was simply thinking of flattering Charlie, and she deliberately said to Claire, “Oh, Claire! You are already getting older, and you have already been married to Charlie for almost four years now. I say, it is also about time for both of you to have children already. Our family of four is living in such a big villa, it is indeed a little lonely and cold here. Wouldn’t it be livelier if there was a child running around in the villa?”As soon as Charlie heard these words, he was indeed very surprised!This was perfect!His mother-in-law truly thought of nothing else other than her
Chapter 1443
Claire never expected Charlie to use money to win her mother over.Even more unexpectedly, the effect of using money to win her mother over seemed to work very well indeed!Claire suddenly felt very embarrassed, and she truly felt like digging a hole and burying herself in it.At this time, when Elaine saw that Claire was not saying anything, she kept urging her from the side, “My good daughter, why don’t I bring you to see that old Oskian doctor tomorrow so that he can prescribe some medicine for you?”Claire felt completely helpless at this time, and she said embarrassedly, “Mom, stop talking nonsense!”Elaine replied solemnly, “How could you say that I am talking nonsense?! I also want to be able to carry my grandson as soon as possible!”Claire knew that if she did not leave now, her mother would definitely talk endlessly. Thus, she pushed Charlie hurriedly and said, “Let’s go and pick Dad up to bring him home now.”Charlie smiled as he nodded and said, “Then, we should go a

Charlie and Claire were still in the car, and they were still some distance away from the group of people. So, they could not hear exactly what they were talking about.However, by the looks of it, it was obvious that Matilda must have asked her son, Paul, to help her prepare a gift for Jacob in exchange.Claire felt even more depressed when she saw both of them exchanging gifts with one another. “Just look at Dad and Aunt Hall! Both of them are obviously acting more than just ordinary friends. They are more like a middle-aged and elderly couple in love!”Charlie nodded gently.He had already noticed a long time ago that both of them had a deep affection for each other. Matilda had even given Paul the middle name ‘Jamal’. This proved that she had never once forgotten about Jacob throughout all this time.As for Jacob, there was nothing else that needed to be said. After being oppressed by Elaine for so many years, he had already been missing and yearning for Matilda for a long tim
Chapter 1445
Jacob thought that he and Charlie were the only two people in the car. Charlie was not only his son-in-law, but he was also the person he trusted the most.Therefore, he was not guarded against Charlie at all. He was also not afraid that Charlie would find out about the things that were going on between him and Matilda.At this moment, as he was unpacking the gift, Jacob sighed as he said, “Oh, my dear son-in-law, do you know how popular your Aunt Hall is at the Senior University? Those who are interested in her range from young people between the age of thirty to forty years old, to old men between the age of sixty to seventy years old. It is simply a huge number, and I cannot count the number of people who like her at all! If I don’t pay more attention to it, I am afraid that the situation will end badly for me, then.”Charlie laughed awkwardly as he tried to change the subject by saying, “Dad, you must have drunk quite a bit during dinner tonight, right? Why don’t you stop talkin
Chapter 1446
Charlie stretched out his right hand to cover half of his face because he truly did not know how to respond to his stupid father-in-law anymore.At this time, Jacob answered the call, and he said casually, “Hello, Claire. I am already with Charlie, and we are on our way home now.”Suddenly, he heard Claire’s angry voice sounding from the backseat, “Dad! You truly disappoint me!”Jacob yelped in shock. As he was not holding his cell phone firmly, it slipped from his hand and fell into the gap.He did not even bother picking up his cell phone. Instead, he simply turned around as he stared at Claire in horror. “Cla… Claire?! You… why are you in the car too?!”Claire asked in a huff, “Why can’t I be in the car? If I was not in the car, I would never have known that you were cheating on Mom behind her back!”Jacob felt very aggrieved, and he blurted out, “Oh! Claire, don’t talk nonsense. When did I ever cheat on your mom?!”Claire replied, “You and Aunt Hall are already at the point
Chapter 1447
Claire was dumbfounded, and she did not know how she should respond.Jacob, who was sitting in the co-driver seat, was so aggrieved that he burst into tears and choked up as he said, “Back then, your mother and I had no emotional connection nor affection for one another whatsoever. If I were to speak conscientiously, before I got drunk that night, I have never even exchanged more than a few words with your mother before. You should also be able to see clearly that your Aunt Hall is much better than your mom in all aspects. It is completely impossible for a normal man to give up your Aunt Hall and choose your mother instead. I was completely helpless, and I was forced into a dead-end back then!”As he spoke, Jacob looked out the window with a sad and aggrieved look on his face as he said depressedly, “In the beginning, your Aunt Hall and I had already planned our lives after graduation. We were going to go and further our studies in the United States together. You should also know tha
