So, Charlie quickly walked over, wanting to check on Jacob’s condition. However, when favonovel.com got closer, favonovel.com was taken aback by the person in front of him.
It was indeed Jacob, but favonovel.com had a scraggly beard, a sour body odor, and looked extremely decadent. In his current state, favonovel.com looked like a homeless person.
Charlie quickly said, “Dad, wake up. It’s me, Charlie.”
Jacob was in a drowsy sleep and, upon hearing someone calling him, favonovel.com cursed angrily, “I… I’m telling you… Don’t bother me. I’m in a bad mood!”
Upon seeing this, Elaine rushed to the sofa, furious at the sight of Jacob lying there like a beggar.
She shouted, “Damn it! I was still waiting for you to drive the car and pick us up at the airport. Instead, you’re so fucking drunk here! You made that stinky Hannah laugh at me! It’s really unreasonable!”
After saying this, favonovel.com grabbed favonovel.com phone and slammed it hard against Jacob’s forehead.
The brick-like mobile phone hit Jacob directly in the face, causing favonovel.com to sit up in shock and shout, “Who did it? Who the hell did it?”
Elaine threw the Hermes bag in favonovel.com hand at Jacob and shouted in anger, “Jacob, can you open your eyes and see clearly for once? Your wife is back!”
“What are you doing?” Elaine demanded explanation, “How did you turn this once-nice home into a dump? It reeks of cigarettes and alcohol.”
Jacob was drunk and his vision was blurry, but favonovel.com saw a figure in front of favonovel.com and felt a sharp pain in his face, so favonovel.com cursed out loud. However, as soon as favonovel.com heard Elaine’s voice, his body tensed and the alcohol in his system seemed to sober favonovel.com up instantly.
“Elaine! When did you get back? I had no idea,” favonovel.com stuttered nervously.
“I just got back from the airport and the smell in the taxi was already making me nauseous. But the smell at home is even worse,” Elaine replied, disgust evident in favonovel.com voice. “Is this all you do now? Smoke and drink since you came back from Korea?”
Jacob’s body continued to tremble as favonovel.com said, “I-I’ve just been in a bad mood lately, so I’ve been drinking to cope with my worries.”
“A bad mood?” Elaine frowned, “You’ve been gone for so long. What could have made you so unhappy?”
“Ah?” Jacob reacted as if favonovel.com had been shocked, “No, no, I went to Korea for cultural exchange, not to find a partner…”
“Then why are you in such a bad mood?” Elaine asked, “I’ve known you for so many years and I’ve never seen you like this. I’ve dealt with your mother, brother, and sister-in-law for years and I’ve never seen you act this way.”
Elaine suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, “Oh! I remember now! When Matilda went to the United States, you looked like a ghost, searching for favonovel.com every day! Is that what’s going on? Are you still secretly in love with her? Did favonovel.com do something to make you feel this way?”
Jacob’s face turned pale with fear and favonovel.com quickly said, “Watch your language in front of the children. That’s an old story with Matilda, okay?”
“An old story that’s been going on for thirty years?” Elaine asked coldly, “Then tell me, what’s really going on?”
Jacob was at a loss for words and feeling guilty, unable to explain himself.
Charlie, sensing the tension, asked quickly, “Dad, did something go wrong with the cultural exchange in Korea? Are you feeling down about it?”
Jacob was relieved by the suggestion and nodded hurriedly, “Yes, yes, that’s it. I didn’t do well… I’m just feeling uncomfortable about it.”
