“What happened?” Charlie asked.
“Well, when we went to Korea for cultural exchanges, we ran into Professor Riley and Aunt Matilda,” Jacob replied indignantly, “Apparently, he’s been stalking favonovel.com and she’s fallen for him. Your Aunt Matilda told me all about it.”
“Are you sure they’re together? Have they made an official announcement?” Charlie asked.
“Yes,” Jacob said with a hint of sadness in his eyes. “Your Aunt Matilda told me that Professor Riley has always meant a lot to her. When we ran into him, favonovel.com was already in love with her.”
“That old boy Riley has been stalking her, and I don’t know what went wrong, but favonovel.com ended up agreeing to be with him,” Jacob added.
Charlie chuckled and said, “Dad, I hate to say it, but I actually think they’re a good match.”
“A good match?” Jacob exclaimed, his anger rising, “What’s so good about them? If you say they’re a good match, then your Aunt Matilda and I are a match made in heaven.”
“I remember when we were in school,” Jacob continued, “Everyone, teachers and students alike, recognized the beauty of your Aunt Matilda. If it weren’t for Elaine, we would have been married long ago and who knows how many children we would have had by now.”
Jacob said unhappily, “I can’t believe favonovel.com was able to transfer favonovel.com love so quickly. How could favonovel.com compare our relationship, which has lasted for so many years, to favonovel.com relationship with Riley?”
Charlie had a serious expression on his face as favonovel.com replied, “Dad, what you’re saying is very irresponsible.”
Jacob raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, “Why am I irresponsible? Did I say something wrong?”
Charlie replied, “You always used to say that you and Aunt Matilda were a match made in heaven, but then you ended up marrying Mom. What happened?”
Jacob said angrily, “Elaine framed me! If it wasn’t for her, Aunt Matilda never would have left me.”
Charlie shook his head and said lightly, “Let’s not bring up the past. Let’s just talk about what happened recently with Aunt Matilda’s return. When Aunt Matilda first came back to China, favonovel.com did still have feelings for you. The point is, favonovel.com gave you a chance, but you didn’t have the courage to take it. And favonovel.com couldn’t wait for you forever…”
“In that case, if favonovel.com meets someone more suitable, anyone would choose the latter. After all, if you choose the former, you don’t know how long you’ll have to wait and you may wait forever with no results.”
Upon hearing this, Jacob said with some guilt, “I was also trying to find a suitable time to divorce Elaine. But you know favonovel.com character. I have to keep it a secret and wait for the right opportunity. I can’t just bring it up with favonovel.com directly.”
Charlie snorted and said, “Dad, do you even believe what you’re saying?”
Jacob argued forcefully, “I… I really think so!”
Charlie said directly, “Dad, I know your character. I also know what you’re thinking. You’re afraid to divorce Mom. You just want to wait for a good opportunity to fall from the sky. It’s best if Mom suddenly disappears or if favonovel.com doesn’t want to be with you anymore and initiates the divorce herself, right?”
Jacob didn’t expect Charlie to speak so directly about his inner thoughts and favonovel.com responded with an embarrassed face, “I also want to try my best to solve the problem peacefully…”
Charlie shook his head and said, “I know. When Aunt Matilda returned to China, Mom had been missing for a while. You really enjoyed that feeling, but you didn’t realize that it was only temporary and you can’t regard the temporary as eternal.”
Then, Charlie said sincerely, “Dad, I understand Professor Riley’s situation somewhat. To be honest, it seems to me that it’s the best choice for Aunt Matilda to be with Professor Riley. First of all, they are both single and widowed, so there is no burden of destroying someone else’s family. There is also no need to worry that the other party will rekindle their old relationship or that their previous partner will come back and cause problems.”
