Chapter 941
The two BMW cars drove one after the other as they returned to the villa at Thompson First.Jacob’s dissatisfaction grew even stronger as Elaine continued scolding him throughout the entire way home.When he first received the phone call from Elaine, he was busy singing a love song with his first love. Therefore, he had a guilty conscience. When he heard her angry tone over the phone, he rushed to the hospital in a hurry.After calming himself down a little, he felt that Elaine was really hopeless.Therefore, Jacob’s intention of divorcing her became even stronger.After getting out of the car, Jacob went to the back seat to take out the crutches that they bought from the hospital before he passed it directly to Elaine.Elaine was initially waiting for Jacob to help her to get into the house. She even thought that he would be carrying her into the house. Unexpectedly, he simply passed the crutches to her.Elaine held the crutches in her hands as she yelled, “Jacob Wilson! You ol

Charlie responded before he stepped into the kitchen.In truth, there was still a box of eggs in the refrigerator. Since he did not want to give Elaine any single one of the eggs at all, he broke all of the eggs before pouring them into the drainage system. Although it would be a little wasteful to pour them into the drainage system, Charlie felt that it was even more wasteful if it went into Elaine’s stomach.After that, Charlie grabbed a pot and boiled some hot water before he threw in a handful of noodles into the pot.As he was preparing the noodles, he suddenly received a text message on his cell phone.He opened his text messages and he realized that someone had sent a text message to him in the group chat, ‘Aurous Hill Welfare Institute Friends’.The twenty to thirty people in this group chat consisted of the group of orphans who have been taken in and raised by Mrs. Lewis. All of them had already integrated into society for many years now, and most of them were already sca

A friend named Harvey Carver said in the group chat: [Yes! Mrs. Lewis has finally recovered from such a critical illness. If all of the children that she personally raised and brought up did not come back to see her immediately, she might feel a little disappointed then.]Max replied: [Let’s do this then. Why don’t we find a five-star hotel to treat Mrs. Lewis to a nice welcome dinner then?]Stephanie replied: [Max, we do not need to be so extravagant. Mrs. Lewis has always lived such a thrifty life. She will definitely feel a little distressed if we brought her to eat at such an extravagant place. Why don’t we just eat at the small restaurant that has been serving home-cooked food for many years in front of the entrance of the orphanage?]Charlie could not help but sigh at this time. He was filled with emotions as he thought about the small home-cooked restaurant that had already been operating for more than ten years.During his eighteenth birthday, Mrs. Lewis used all of the mon

Charlie could not help feeling a little excited at the thought of meeting Mrs. Lewis again soon.He had never seen Mrs. Lewis again ever since he had gotten scolded for trying to borrow money from Lady Wilson at her birthday banquet. This was because Stephen had sent Mrs. Lewis directly to Eastcliff after that.Charlie had a very deep relationship with Mrs. Lewis, and he regarded her as his own mother.When Mrs. Lewis fell ill, Charlie tried desperately to raise money. He even secretly tried to sell his blood to raise some money. He also took a lot of money from Claire in private in an effort to keep Mrs. Lewis alive.If he did not do everything that he could to help Mrs. Lewis raise some money for her treatment, Mrs. Lewis would never have been able to wait for Stephen to arrive. She would have already been dead a long time ago.However, Charlie felt that this was something that he should be doing. Even by doing this, he could probably only repay about one ten thousandths of Mrs.

Elaine suddenly felt very sad when she heard this!She had only been gone for the past two days, but everyone in the family seemed to have a different attitude toward her now.Her husband was ignoring her and had even lost his temper with her. Her son-in-law was also no longer the same son-in-law who was always at the mercy of others. He even dared to get angry at her and asked her to move back to their own house.Even her good daughter that she could always rely on was no longer standing on her side.She would never have dreamt that her daughter would actually take Charlie’s side at this time.She had always been a drama queen. When she saw that she was about to lose power in this house, her eyes flushed red as she started to put on an act.She choked pitifully as she said, “I am now superfluous in this house. Your father does not care about me anymore. Your husband is threatening to kick me out of this house and you are not even standing on my side anymore…”As she spoke, Elai

So, Claire told Elaine, “Mom, you can reflect and think about this matter on your own. Charlie and I will leave first. By the way, don’t forget to take out the noodles that Charlie has cooked for you.”After she was done speaking, Claire told Charlie, “Let’s go.”Charlie nodded slightly before he took Claire out of the villa as they headed toward the orphanage.Charlie bought a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket on the way to the orphanage. He also prepared a handwritten greeting card to give to Mrs. Lewis.After arriving at the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute, Charlie parked his car at the parking space on the side of the road. Charlie was in a daze as he stared at the slightly outdated door on the orphanage. He could not help but feel as though he had gone back in time.He stood there as though he was trying to recall certain scenes in his memory. The scenes that flashed back in his memories were the softest, happiest, and most precious memories that were etched deep in his hea

The expression on Stephanie’s face was filled with joy and surprise when she saw Charlie.She ran toward Charlie immediately as she grabbed hold of Charlie’s arms with both of her hands before she asked, “Brother Charlie, why didn’t you come back to visit us at the orphanage for such a long time?”Charlie did not feel uncomfortable at all even though she was grabbing her arms with her hands. On the contrary, he was like her elder brother, and he said affectionately, “I have not been doing well after leaving the orphanage. Therefore, I feel a little embarrassed to come back to the orphanage to visit all of you.”As soon as Stephanie heard his words, her eyes turned red, and she choked as she sobbed and said, “Mrs. Lewis told us that you have been working on a construction site after you left the orphanage. She also told us that you would always send all of your hard-earned money to her so that she could buy us books, clothes, and food. Why didn’t you come back to see me at all? It ha

Although she did not look too bad herself, she could not help but feel that she was lacking and inferior compared to Claire.Moreover, she was just an orphan who had no father or mother. She did not have anyone to support her or back her up in life. Now that she was working at the orphanage, she was still working and relying on charity to support herself. She did not earn a lot of money for herself.Even though she was not making a lot of money, she also had the same attitude as Charlie. She would donate all of her money to the orphanage, hence, at the end of the day, she was just a poor girl who had nothing at all.In this aspect, she felt that she could not be compared to a career woman like Claire at all.She felt a little envious and she said to Claire nervously, “Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Stephanie Lewis. We are meeting for the first time today.”Claire nodded before she smiled and said, “Hello, Stephanie. My name is Claire Wilson.”Stephanie looked at Claire before s
