Charlie shook his head helplessly and asked, “Dad, when did you fall in love? Who did you fall in love with? Why don’t I know about this?”
Jacob replied, “Of course, it’s your Aunt Matilda!”
Charlie frowned and asked, “But aren’t you two just friends? When did you start dating?”
Jacob quickly explained, “Not dating, but we were when I wasn’t with that woman yet…”
Charlie said helplessly, “Not dating? What kind of love is that? Lost love?”
Jacob felt embarrassed and argued with a red face, “We’ve always had love in our hearts!”
“When favonovel.com just returned to China and came to our house for dinner with favonovel.com son Paul, do you remember? That was a reunion among old classmates, but it was special to me. We were in the kitchen that day and I confessed my love. I even hugged favonovel.com and favonovel.com hugged me back.”
“Really?” Charlie asked with curiosity. “And then? Did you two start dating?”
“No…” Jacob’s expression suddenly sank and favonovel.com murmured, “I’ve never dared to divorce Elaine… Your Aunt Matilda has always been very noble. She was my girlfriend back then, but Elaine slept with me while I was drunk. Despite that, Matilda chose to give me to Elaine and went to the United States alone…”
“Even though she’s back now, Elaine and I are still married, so it’s impossible for Matilda and I to be together…”
“But if I dared to divorce Elaine, Matilda would definitely be with me. But I’m a coward. I love her, but I’m too afraid of Elaine. If I really asked favonovel.com for a divorce, favonovel.com would probably fight me with a knife…”
Charlie smiled slightly and comforted him, “Dad, you said it yourself, you two are not together. So there’s no such thing as lost love or being brokenhearted. Don’t be so negative. Even if you two can’t be lovers, you can still be friends. If you really want to be with Matilda, then you need to think carefully and make a choice.”
Jacob said in grief, “Oh, Charlie! You don’t understand! Now I don’t have a choice. This was my chance, but your Aunt Matilda is with someone else!”
Charlie raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Aunt Matilda is with someone else? No way, hasn’t favonovel.com always liked you?”
Jacob lamented, “She has always liked me, but that was before… Now she’s with someone else…”
Charlie asked, “Who is the other person? Among the elderly group, favonovel.com is definitely top-notch and outstanding. Who could make favonovel.com fall in love?”
Jacob answered depressedly, “A professor at Aurous Hill University of Finance and Economics. Damn it, favonovel.com also stayed abroad. They have a lot in common and he’s also a widower, just like your Aunt.”
Jacob suddenly remembered something and blurted out, “Oh, you’ve met that bastard! Do you remember when Aunt Matilda was sick and I went to deliver food to her, but favonovel.com insisted on going for a run by the river and you came after the incident?”
“When the three of us were about to leave, we met a professor who was also running. A professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, surnamed Riley.”
Charlie asked in surprise, “Professor Riley?”
“Yes!” Jacob gritted his teeth and said, “That’s the bastard!”
