Chapter 832
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

Elaine felt seriously wronged as she laid on bed.She had not eaten anything for more than twelve hours now and she had endured a severe and violent beating. She was already starving at this point. Even if she could live without eating or drinking anything, she could not stop her stomach from growling or making any noise!However, Elaine did not dare to offend Jennifer.After all, this stinky woman would hit and beat her really hard.Elaine thought that everything would be okay if she simply covered her head with her blanket and tried to fall asleep instead. Who would have expected her unsatisfied belly to grumble at a moment like this?Jennifer stood up immediately before she stomped toward Elaine and greeted her with a tight slap across her face. Elaine felt that her extremely swollen cheeks were already exploding in pain after this slap from Jennifer.Elaine could only plead desperately, “I am sorry. I am sorry. I didn't mean to do it…”Since she had already lost her two fron

After all, wouldn’t she have done the same if she was in the same situation as Elaine?Therefore, Lady Wilson did not intend to be kind or gracious toward Elaine at all.Moreover, Lady Wilson could not help but remember the humiliation that she had suffered at the villa at Thompson First today. At this time, she said coldly, “This is the result and price that you are paying for your own actions! You should just enjoy the consequences of your actions! This is just the first day. We are going to spend another fourteen days together!”After she was done speaking, Lady Wilson snorted coldly before she turned around and walked out of the toilet.Elaine was sitting on the toilet floor and she felt very hungry and cold. She really felt like crying because she was so helpless and desperate at this point. However, she immediately covered her mouth when she thought of the fierce and vicious Jennifer.However, she could not help it in the end and she simply hugged her legs tightly as she bur

Claire originally did not know that Jacob had been drinking.However, after approaching Jacob, she could smell the strong scent of alcohol from his body. She could not help but feel very angry at her father at this time!She knew that her father normally enjoyed drinking. She has absolutely no opinion on his actions at all. However, the point was that her father told her that he would be going to several mahjong halls to look for her mother. Why did he come back drunk then?This…this simply proved that he did not go to look for her mother at all! He simply went out to…drink!When Jacob heard Claire asking if he had been drinking, Jacob hurriedly covered his mouth and took a few steps back as he was in a state of panic. After that, he hurriedly said, “Don’t talk nonsense! I was not drinking!”“You are the one who is talking nonsense right now!” Claire stomped her feet angrily, “I can smell the scent of alcohol on your body! You did not have the scent of alcohol on your body when yo
