”No.” Charlie pretended to be surprised as favonovel.com asked, “Why? What’s wrong? Is Mom not back home yet?”
“No.” Claire replied, “I thought that favonovel.com was going out with favonovel.com friend. However, one of favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com to confirm whether they would be having dinner together, but they could not find favonovel.com at all. I also asked dad about it, but favonovel.com told me that favonovel.com did not know where favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com wanted to go out for dinner with favonovel.com friends. However, since dad is in charge of our family’s money now, I told favonovel.com 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 thoughtfully before favonovel.com said, “That is a little weird. She is not at home, and favonovel.com did not meet up with any of favonovel.com friends at all. So, where could favonovel.com possibly be now?”
Charlie shrugged before favonovel.com said, “Perhaps favonovel.com went out to play mahjong instead?”
Claire replied, “But why would favonovel.com turn off favonovel.com cell phone, then? No one can contact favonovel.com at all. She has never done anything like this before.”
“Perhaps favonovel.com cell phone has already run out of battery?” Charlie replied. “Don’t worry. Mom is already an adult. She should be able to take care of herself.”
Claire sighed before favonovel.com said, “Although favonovel.com is an adult, favonovel.com is always acting and behaving like a child. I am really afraid that favonovel.com is causing trouble somewhere now.”
Loreen asked in surprise, “You can’t find auntie anywhere?”
“Yes.” Claire replied anxiously, “I cannot get through favonovel.com cell phone at all. Moreover, it seems as though no one has seen favonovel.com at all today.”
At this time, Jacob poked his head into the kitchen and asked in surprise, “Why are all of you gathering in the kitchen as soon as you are home? I was just thinking of asking you to have some tea with me.”
Claire asked, “Dad, did Mom contact you at all? Why isn’t favonovel.com home when it is already so late at night?”
Jacob snorted coldly when Claire asked favonovel.com about Elaine. After that, favonovel.com replied angrily, “Who knows? Just let favonovel.com be. I bet favonovel.com is outside creating more trouble for all of us.”
Ever since Jacob found out that Elaine had lost all of the family’s money, Jacob could no longer hide his dissatisfaction with Elaine.
Over the past few days, whenever favonovel.com saw Elaine, favonovel.com would suddenly think of the fact that favonovel.com had lost all of their family’s money. Therefore, favonovel.com really wanted Elaine to be out of the house so that favonovel.com did not have to look at her.
Claire sighed helplessly before favonovel.com said, “Dad, I know that mom did something wrong, but favonovel.com has already apologized for favonovel.com mistake. She already knows that what favonovel.com did was wrong. So, please do not be angry with favonovel.com anymore. What if mom decides to run away from home because you are treating favonovel.com like this?”
“Run away from home?” Jacob sneered before favonovel.com said disdainfully, “If favonovel.com really ran away from home, I would go to the temple to burn some incense and pray to the gods tonight. In fact, it would be best if favonovel.com would just completely disappear from the face of this world, just like Hannah did! I would really feel very relieved and liberated then!”
Claire could not help but feel very helpless when favonovel.com heard favonovel.com father’s words. She could not understand how the relationship between favonovel.com parents could end up this badly.
After a moment of silence, favonovel.com said, “Dad, no matter how bad mom is, both of you have already been together for more than twenty years now. Can’t you just forget everything that has already happened and forgive one another instead?”
Jacob waved his hand before favonovel.com said, “Forgive her? That will never happen! I will never forgive favonovel.com in this lifetime!”
After favonovel.com was done talking, Jacob placed his hands behind favonovel.com before slowly walking out of the kitchen.
Claire could only sigh before favonovel.com said, “Charlie, don’t you know a lot of people in Aurous Hill? Don Albert seems to have a very good relationship with you. Can you ask favonovel.com to do you a favor and help us ask around and see if anyone has seen my mom?”
Charlie replied, “My dear wife, even children would come home late sometimes after going out to play. Mom has only gone out for one afternoon. Why are you so worried? She used to play mahjong for an even longer period of time in the past! If favonovel.com is really playing mahjong at favonovel.com friend’s place, we might not be able to find favonovel.com even if we turn the whole Aurous Hill upside down!”
Claire pursed favonovel.com lips tightly together before favonovel.com said, “Alright then, let’s wait for a short while. If mom is not back by ten o’clock at night, I will call the police!”
“Call the police?” Charlie replied awkwardly, “Do you really need to do that? The police officers must already be very busy. I feel that we should not be bothering them with something as mediocre as this.”
“How can I just let it be?” Claire replied seriously, “We have not even been able to find aunt after favonovel.com disappeared. What if the same thing happens to my mother too? If I do not see or hear from my mom at ten o’clock tonight, I want you to accompany me to the police station!”
