Claire originally did not know that Jacob had been drinking.
However, after approaching Jacob, favonovel.com could smell the strong scent of alcohol from his body. She could not help but feel very angry at favonovel.com father at this time!
She knew that favonovel.com father normally enjoyed drinking. She has absolutely no opinion on his actions at all. However, the point was that favonovel.com father told favonovel.com that favonovel.com would be going to several mahjong halls to look for favonovel.com mother. Why did favonovel.com come back drunk then?
This…this simply proved that favonovel.com did not go to look for favonovel.com mother at all! He simply went out to…drink!
When Jacob heard Claire asking if favonovel.com had been drinking, Jacob hurriedly covered his mouth and took a few steps back as favonovel.com was in a state of panic. After that, favonovel.com hurriedly said, “Don’t talk nonsense! I was not drinking!”
“You are the one who is talking nonsense right now!” Claire stomped favonovel.com feet angrily, “I can smell the scent of alcohol on your body! You did not have the scent of alcohol on your body when you left the house earlier but there is a strong smell of alcohol on your body now! You must have just been drinking!”
As favonovel.com spoke, Claire fixed favonovel.com eyes on Jacob’s collar and favonovel.com noticed a few drops of oil on his collar. At this time, favonovel.com eyes flashed red as favonovel.com said angrily, “Mom is already missing and we cannot find favonovel.com at all. At this time, you did not even bother to go out to look for favonovel.com but you are even eating and drinking happily all by yourself! Are you really that happy?”
Jacob replied in an embarrassed manner, “Oh, my…I…I really did not…”
Claire replied angrily, “Dad, do you really think that I will believe you?”
Jacob knew that there was no way that favonovel.com would be able to get out of this situation. Therefore, favonovel.com could only look at Charlie as favonovel.com said, “Charlie was the one who asked me to go out for a drink!”
After favonovel.com spoke, Jacob hurriedly winked at Charlie as though favonovel.com was implying that favonovel.com was a good son-in-law and favonovel.com wanted favonovel.com to bear the blame for favonovel.com first.
Charlie quickly replied without any hesitation as favonovel.com nodded and said, “That’s right. That’s right. Dad is right. I was the one who asked favonovel.com out for a drink.”
In fact, Charlie knew very well that favonovel.com did not drink a single drop of alcohol at all. On the other hand, Jacob was already extremely drunk. The more Jacob said that this was Charlie’s idea, the less Claire would actually believe his words.
True enough, Claire stomped favonovel.com feet angrily before favonovel.com said, “Dad, you are still pushing the blame to Charlie at a time like this? Can’t you be more gentlemanly at a time like this?”
Jacob had a gloomy expression on his face as favonovel.com said, “I am telling you the truth. I cannot do anything to help you if you refuse to believe me.”
After favonovel.com was done speaking, Jacob hurriedly said, “Oh, I must really be getting old. It is just a little after ten o’clock at night and I am already feeling so tired and lethargic. I am going back to my bedroom to rest first.”
Claire wanted to stop favonovel.com but favonovel.com father quickly ran away without looking back at all.
At this time, Claire looked at Charlie out of desperation as favonovel.com said, “You are also to blame! I called you to ask you about your whereabouts but you told me that you were looking around different mahjong halls when you actually took my dad out to eat and drink!”
Charlie coughed slightly before favonovel.com said, “Well, your dad said that favonovel.com was feeling hungry and uncomfortable. How could I possibly drag an old man around the streets with me when favonovel.com is hungry? Don’t you think that favonovel.com would be vulnerable to danger if favonovel.com fainted due to low blood sugar?”
“But you shouldn’t have lied to me! Couldn’t you have told me the truth and said that both of you were eating?”
Charlie was at a loss for words and did not know how to reply to Claire’s sudden question. He felt that it was indeed a fact that favonovel.com did not handle this matter properly. Charlie really did not expect Claire to find out that Jacob had been drinking. If favonovel.com knew that this would happen, favonovel.com would not have brought Jacob to the barbeque stall at all.
Therefore, Charlie could only apologize sincerely as favonovel.com said, “I am really sorry, my dear wife. I shouldn’t have lied to you about this matter. However, dad told me not to tell you about it so I couldn’t tell you the truth over the phone.”
Charlie did not feel guilty at all when favonovel.com said this.
After all, they were simply pushing the blame to one another. Since the old man was not here, it was only natural for Charlie to push the blame back to him.
Claire believed in Charlie’s words immediately and favonovel.com really thought that this was all favonovel.com father’s idea. She knew that Charlie must have been forced to lie to favonovel.com because favonovel.com could not possibly tell favonovel.com the truth when favonovel.com was sitting right next to favonovel.com father.
Although favonovel.com was not as angry, favonovel.com still felt seriously wronged at this time. She sighed before favonovel.com broke down emotionally and said, “Charlie, my mother is missing. My father does not care about favonovel.com at all, and it seems as though you do not care about favonovel.com either! How am I going to find favonovel.com on my own? If something bad happened to my mother, how could I possibly live with it for the rest of my life? I will never be able to forgive myself until the day I die!”
Charlie hurriedly comforted Claire as favonovel.com said, “Don’t think too much about it. Nothing bad will happen to your mother.”
