In order to turn the tables, Jake recalled a name that Aaron had mocked Jacob with, Matilda. So, favonovel.com pretended to be curious and asked, “Dad, what’s the issue with this Matilda that you talked about earlier? You guys seem to be very close to her, I’m rather curious…”
Aaron threw a sideway glance at Jacob and said with a grin, “Matilda Mark was the most beautiful girl in our batch, and a lot of boys fell in love with her. In fact, if favonovel.com admirers queued up, it would circle the university twice.”
Then, Aaron deliberately raised his voice and laughed, “Eventually, Matilda must have been hypnotized or something, because favonovel.com chose Jacob! Since favonovel.com was in love with the most beautiful and popular girl in school, favonovel.com had to avoid walking into people for fear that favonovel.com would be ambushed and beaten.”
“What happened later?”
Again, Aaron looked at Jacob in amusement and giggled. “Then, Matilda dumped favonovel.com and flew to the United States. She hasn’t come back since.”
Then, favonovel.com turned to Jacob and asked in a mocking tone, “Oh, Jacob, do you know why Matilda broke up with you?”
Jacob growled, “It’s none of your business.”
Aaron laughed at his reaction. “Let me tell you, in truth, Matilda was irritated because of favonovel.com countless admirers, so favonovel.com decided to find a fake boyfriend to shun all the annoying buggers. Hence, favonovel.com chose you, and you were the only one who was kept in the dark. After favonovel.com used you, favonovel.com dumped you and went abroad! Hahaha!”
Jacob shouted angrily, “Shut up! Matilda and I broke up because…”
He couldn’t finish his sentence.
His expression changed from outrage to regret, desolation, and sadness. He hung his head low, sighed gently, and waved his hand. “Forget it, let’s drop the subject.”
“Oh, don’t!” Aaron said aggressively. “Don’t leave your words hanging like that! Tell us, why did you break up with her? Wasn’t it because favonovel.com was done with you?”
“Of course not!”
“Tell us then!”
“It’s between us, you have no business meddling in our affairs.”
Aaron clicked his tongue in annoyance and said, “In my opinion, you are just too embarrassed to admit that you were fooled!”
Jacob waved his hand dejectedly. “Say whatever you want, no comment.”
“You…” Aaron didn’t expect Jacob to call a truce so soon, and favonovel.com rolled his eyes at favonovel.com in agitation, feeling as though favonovel.com had punched air instead of a sandbag.
At this moment, more and more people had arrived, and very soon, more than twenty guys were gathered at the gate.
Jacob was right, the people who came to the reunion were all guys.
These elderly pals seemed to have a very sincere and genuine friendship among one another. They started chatting with each other, and Charlie even saw that some of them had tears in their eyes.
Eric, the first to approach Jacob, came to them and ushered, “Guys, don’t just stand there, come in and talk.”
Aaron nodded. “Yes, let’s go to our old classroom to talk. Mr. Lee may take a while to arrive since favonovel.com is feeling under the weather. Let’s go in first.”
