Jacob prayed to God, hoping that Elaine would never come back again. She had tormented favonovel.com for more than 2 decades, favonovel.com had accomplished the unthinkable because of this, it was time to set favonovel.com free.
If Elaine never came back, favonovel.com was certain that favonovel.com could be with Matilda again and resumed their previous relationship.
He even thought that Matilda’s son was a quite nice person who was open-minded enough to accept favonovel.com as his stepfather.
As for Claire, favonovel.com was a sensible and filial daughter. If favonovel.com mother was indeed missing, favonovel.com wouldn’t object to favonovel.com pursuing his true love. After all, favonovel.com could not live alone for the rest of his life after Elaine disappeared.
His only concern right now was whether Elaine would return.
So favonovel.com could only pray to God for his wish to come true.
However, favonovel.com didn’t know that it was not up to God to decide on this, but his son-in-law, Charlie.
***
When Charlie arrived at the entrance of Shangri-La, the hotel staff immediately marched forward and opened the door.
He passed the key to the hotel staff who was in charge of the valet parking and said to Jacob, Matilda, and Paul, “Shangri-La is considered a luxury hotel in Aurous Hill and they make the best local cuisines. I hope it meets your taste.”
Matilda hurriedly said, “Oh, Charlie, thank you very much! I’m not picky when it comes to food, besides, after leaving Aurous Hill for so many years, I long to taste the local dishes!”
Charlie chuckled, “We come to the right place then.”
Then, favonovel.com turned to Paul and asked, “Paul, I wonder how you feel about Chinese cuisine? Will you get used to it?”
Paul chuckled, “Charlie, don’t forget that I’m also half Chinese, and to be honest, compared to those fast, good and western food in the States, I prefer Asian food, especially Chinese food.”
“Oh, by the way, my mom is a great cook! She is the best Chinese chef I’ve ever seen, favonovel.com cooking is very delicious and wholesome.”
Charlie gasped in amazement, “Wow, Auntie, not only are you so beautiful and elegant, but you’re also a great cook.”
Matilda slapped favonovel.com son’s back gently and said, “Don’t listen to him, favonovel.com is just bragging.”
Jacob said with a sigh, “When we were in college, you always said that you wanted to cook for me, but we couldn’t because we lived on campus. It’s been 20 years now, and I haven’t tried your cooking yet…”
Matilda smiled gently and said earnestly, “Well, I can cook for you if I have a chance, but I have to warn you first, my cooking is not as delicious as Paul said. Don’t blame me if you are disappointed.”
Jacob blinked excitedly and said, “Really? When will you be available?”
Then, favonovel.com continued anxiously, “Well, you can cook at my house! What you want to do, just tell me, I’ll get the ingredients ready in time! Then you guys can come to my house, you’ll cook, I’ll help you, and the kids eat!”
Matilda said a little awkwardly, “Is it okay? Will Elaine want to see me?”
In yesterday’s phone call, Jacob only told favonovel.com that favonovel.com and Elaine had separated, but favonovel.com didn’t say the specific reason nor did favonovel.com say that Elaine was missing. Therefore, Matilda assumed that they slept in separate rooms but still under the same roof, hence favonovel.com reluctance. Firstly, favonovel.com didn’t want to see her, secondly, Elaine was not a kind person, to begin with.
Jacob waved his hands frantically and said indifferently, “Oh, don’t you mind, she’s not at home now, God knows when will favonovel.com be back, I think favonovel.com will not be home for a while.”
Then, favonovel.com continued eagerly, “In my opinion, no time like the present! We’ll have our lunch here at Shangri-La, then you check in to your room to rest. Come to my house this evening, we’ll cook and have dinner together. I can introduce my daughter to you!”
