Elaine, who had been beaten up severely, was also very hungry at this point.She did not even manage to eat a single bite of the food that Charlie prepared for lunch at noon. After that, she was immediately arrested by the police.After all the commotion in the afternoon, coupled up with all the shock and beating, she could not help but feel extremely hungry after all the physical exertion.Therefore, she cautiously crawled over to the bag of food before she took a lunch box from the plastic basket. She was about to hide in a corner to eat by herself but at this time, Jennifer suddenly shouted, “Elaine, what do you think you are doing?”Elaine hurriedly replied, “Big…big sister, I am going to eat…”“Eat?” Jennifer shouted, “You are a bastard who is not even filial to your own mother-in-law and you still have the audacity to eat?”“I…I…” Elaine suddenly choked up but she did not know how to answer Jennifer’s question.Jennifer was very dissatisfied and she continued reprimanding

”No.” Charlie pretended to be surprised as he asked, “Why? What’s wrong? Is Mom not back home yet?”“No.” Claire replied, “I thought that she was going out with her friend. However, one of her friends just called me earlier and told me that they have not been able to contact my mother ever since the afternoon. They kept waiting for her to confirm whether they would be having dinner together, but they could not find her at all. I also asked dad about it, but he told me that he did not know where she was. That’s why I decided to ask you instead.”Charlie replied indifferently, “I really do not know where your mother is. She asked me for some money in the afternoon, saying that she wanted to go out for dinner with her friends. However, since dad is in charge of our family’s money now, I told her that I had to ask for dad’s consent first. I did not give your mother any money because your dad did not consent to this matter. I think your mother was a little angry.”Claire nodded thoughtfu

Claire barely touched her chopsticks at all during dinner.She kept picking up her cell phone to try to call Elaine and she kept sending her many text messages but there was no response from her at all.On the other hand, Jacob has a very relaxed and contented look on his face. He felt that it would be great if Elaine had run away from home, just like Hannah did. If that was truly the case, then his life would truly be liberated.Claire was very anxious at this time and she kept saying that she wanted to go to the police station to make a police report. At this time, Jacob said, “Oh, Claire, your mother is already an adult. Perhaps she really has something to do outside? Why are you so worried about her? What if she really intended to run away from home? Are you really going to ask the police officers to drag her home then?”“How can that be possible?” Claire replied earnestly, “Mom has already been looking forward to moving into the villa at Thompson First for such a long time. No

After searching around for a short while and not seeing Elaine anywhere, Jacob suddenly said, “Charlie, should we look for a place to eat some barbequed meat instead? Claire was rushing us so much during dinner tonight and I was eating in such a hurry so I am not full at all.”Charlie smiled before he said, “Okay, dad. I know of a roadside barbeque stall selling some really delicious barbecued meat.”Jacob patted his thigh before he said, “Let’s go. We should enjoy some roast meat and drink a couple of beers together tonight.”Charlie replied hurriedly, “Dad, I am driving so I can’t drink with you tonight.”Jacob waved his hand before he said, “We will just call for a driver then! It is a rare opportunity for us father and son to be able to enjoy a drink together. Your mother-in-law is always nagging and chanting into my ears all day long and it is really very annoying. Now that she happens to be away, shouldn’t we enjoy a drink together then?”Charlie shrugged before he smiled an

As Charlie was considering the issue, Claire asked impatiently, “What about you and dad? Have you found any clues on mom?”“Um…” Charlie looked at the pile of skewers and beer in front of him before he said, “We are still looking at many different mahjong halls to look for mom. There are no clues on her whereabouts for the time being.”Claire sighed before she said, “Then you can continue looking for her. Loreen and I will also continue looking for mom now.”“Okay.” Charlie hurriedly replied, “Don’t worry, dad and I will definitely work hard to find mom!”“Okay.” Claire replied, “Then let’s hang up first. Give me a call to let me know if you have any clues at all.”“No problem!”When Charlie hung up the phone, Jacob was already enjoying his meat with a good appetite.Jacob drank a glass of beer before he poured out a glass of beer for Charlie. As he enjoyed the barbequed meat, Jacob said, “My good son-in-law, no one will be bothering us today. Let’s enjoy a good drink together.

”How could I explain myself?” Jacob replied, “No matter how much I tried to explain the situation, it was a fact that something had happened between Elaine and myself. Matilda is obsessed with cleanliness. She wanted her life to be clean, and she also wanted her relationship to be clean and pure. She knew that Elaine was the one who got me drunk and planned for everything to turn out like this. However, Matilda felt as though she could no longer accept someone like me. Therefore, she broke up with me without any hesitation at all and she went to the United States.”Charlie deliberately asked, “Then, do you still have thoughts of her?”Jacob opened up his heart as he replied, “How could I possibly not think of her? She was the first woman that I ever had in my life, and she was the only woman that I have ever loved. Otherwise, I would not have changed the password to unlock my cell phone to her birth date…”Charlie nodded slightly before he asked, “Then, have you inquired about her c

Jacob would never have dreamt that he would receive another phone call from Matilda in this lifetime.What was more unexpected was the fact that Matilda was going to return to Oskia!Matilda went to the United States immediately after they graduated from college. After that, she continued living in the United States after she was done with her studies. None of their old classmates had seen her again ever since that day. It has already been more than twenty years since then.However, although he had not seen each other for more than twenty years, Jacob could not help but feel his heart getting stirred up as soon as he heard her voice.Therefore, he hurriedly asked, “Matilda, you…are you really coming back to Aurous Hill? When will you be coming back?”Matilda smiled before she said, “I will be getting on the plane soon. If everything goes smoothly, I will arrive at Aurous Hill by eleven o’clock in the morning. We should be able to have dinner together with all of our old classmates

”Yes!” Jacob replied excitedly, “The main point is that her husband is already dead! Hahaha! Don’t you think that god is helping me too?”Charlie nodded slightly before he said, “But dad, mom is not dead…”The expression on Jacob’s face changed before he said embarrassingly, “Don’t get me wrong. I am not cursing or hoping for her to be dead!”As he spoke, Jacob sighed before he said, “Don’t you think that it would be great if Elaine really eloped with another man, just like Hannah did?”Charlie shook his head helplessly. He was afraid that Jacob’s heart had already been fully occupied by Matilda who was about to return to Oskia soon. All the feelings that Jacob had left for Elaine had already completely disappeared.Charlie could only sigh as he said. “If Claire can accept mom’s disappearance as an elopement with someone else, then that would be perfect.”If Claire had the same attitude as Jacob did, then Charlie would just let Elaine disappear from the face of this world.For s
