Claire originally did not know that Jacob had been drinking.However, after approaching Jacob, she could smell the strong scent of alcohol from his body. She could not help but feel very angry at her father at this time!She knew that her father normally enjoyed drinking. She has absolutely no opinion on his actions at all. However, the point was that her father told her that he would be going to several mahjong halls to look for her mother. Why did he come back drunk then?This…this simply proved that he did not go to look for her mother at all! He simply went out to…drink!When Jacob heard Claire asking if he had been drinking, Jacob hurriedly covered his mouth and took a few steps back as he was in a state of panic. After that, he hurriedly said, “Don’t talk nonsense! I was not drinking!”“You are the one who is talking nonsense right now!” Claire stomped her feet angrily, “I can smell the scent of alcohol on your body! You did not have the scent of alcohol on your body when yo
Claire could not calm down at all and she waved her hand before she said, “Forget it. I do not want to talk about this problem anymore. I am going back to my bedroom to calm myself down.”After she was done speaking, Claire turned around and walked up the stairs.Charlie could not help but sighed when he saw her walking up the stairs and disappearing at the top of the stairs.It seemed as though it would really be difficult to deal with Elaine.He could not kill her and he could not make her disappear or evaporate from this world without a trace at all. When she has already suffered enough, he would still have to bring her back home.However, it would also be very troublesome to bring her back. How could he possibly make her shut up without talking any nonsense at all?Through hypnosis?That would not be reliable at all!After all, the side effect of hypnosis was that once the person started to follow his psychological cues, that person would lose their own consciousness moment
Loreen could feel Charlie’s gentleness when he wiped the tears off her face. At the same time, she could not help but feel that her heart was in extreme pain as she listened to his firm and emotional love confession for Claire.At this time, Loreen said in a hoarse voice, “Charlie, if Claire really loves you, I will never do anything to bother or interfere in your relationship at all. However, you know very well that the only reason why Claire is together with you is simply because of the promise that she made to her grandfather. Do you really think that things will work out if you are the only person putting effort into this relationship? Why don’t you just let her go and think for yourself for once in your life?”After she was done speaking, Loreen sobbed as she asked, “In what ways am I inferior to Claire? Tell me so that I can improve myself and try to catch up with her. Please do not reject me just like that. Why won’t you give me a chance?”Charlie shook his head slightly befo
If Claire did not rely on this stubborn ‘stupidity’, she would have listened to everyone’s persuasion and gotten rid of him a long time ago.If that happened, what kind of destiny and fate would he be suffering now?Charlie did not even dare to think about it.His life was very difficult before he married Claire.This was because the orphanage did not accept any adults at all. Therefore, on his eighteenth birthday, Mrs. Lewis bought him a birthday cake with the little savings that she had. After that, they celebrated his birthday for him before she sent him out of the orphanage with tears in her eyes.At that moment, Charlie once again became a helpless and lonely person in this world.Mrs. Lewis wanted to help him and she wanted to introduce him to some work so that he could earn some living allowance for himself but Charlie did not have the face to accept Mrs. Lewis’s help.He found a construction site on his own and he started moving bricks, sand, and cement on his own at the
As he thought about his past, Charlie could not help but feel overwhelmed with emotions.There were only two people in the Wilson family who really treated him well.One of them was Lord Wilson, who had already passed away and the other person was his wife, Claire.Since Lord Wilson had already passed away, the only person left in the entire Wilson family who was really good to him was none other than Claire.When Charlie saw Claire standing on the balcony with a sad expression on her face, he walked over to her slowly before he said, “Claire, you don’t have to worry too much. Mom will definitely come home safely, okay?”Claire only realized that Charlie had entered the room when she heard him speaking. She turned around and glanced at him with an annoyed expression on her face as she said, “You don’t really care about her. So, of course you would think that nothing will happen to her. Even if something happened to her, you would not be really sad or worried at all.”Charlie knew
Jacob, who was upstairs on the third floor was living in sharp contrast to Charlie.He was so excited that he could not even fall asleep at all that night.He could not stop thinking about the past that he shared with Matilda and all of their good memories kept flashing back and forth in his mind. He was completely immersed in the memories that he shared with Matilda.The more he thought about Matilda, the more he looked forward to seeing her again.Early the next morning, Jacob who had not slept for the whole night was very energetic and he was in extremely good spirits. He was happily smiling from ear to ear at this time.He got up early to wash up and he shaved his beard clean without leaving even a single stubble behind. After that, he combed his gray hair before he sprayed some styling spray on his hair. After that, he looked inside his cabinet before he looked for the high-end luxurious suit that he had always felt very unwilling to wear.This suit was specially made in Hon
When Claire heard that her father wanted her to accompany him to meet up with his first love, Claire refused directly without any hesitation at all. “I am not going!”Jacob spread out his hands before he said, “Then, don’t stop Charlie from going with me. No matter what it is, one of you has to come with me today.”“You…” Claire was furious and she asked, “Is it more important for you to have a meal with your old classmate or is it more important for us to find mom? Dad, can’t you differentiate which is more important to you right now?”Jacob blurted out, “Of course, I can differentiate it very clearly! Of course, it is much more important for me to have a meal with my old classmate!”“You…”Although Claire usually had a very good temper, she was about to blow up and explode in anger at this time.Jacob replied indifferently, “Claire, you have to understand one thing. This world does not revolve around your mother alone. There are four people in this family. Your mother and I hav
Elaine knew clearly that this was a threat. As long as she started eating, and as long as she reached out her hand to touch the lunch box, she would probably have to suffer a beating.Therefore, Elaine cried as she continued pleading, “Sister Jennifer, you have already beaten and scolded me as much as you wanted to yesterday. Can you please be merciful and let me off today?”Jennifer raised her brows before she said, “Even if I let you off, who can bring my dead mother back to life then? Do you know how miserable my mother was when she drank a bottle of pesticide and laid in the hospital bed as she tried desperately to catch her breath as she suffocated to death?”Elaine burst into tears as she said, “Sister Jennifer…I know that you are a filial daughter but I have not harmed your mother in any way…”Jennifer replied angrily, “You are still trying to talk nonsense with me? Let me tell you something. My mother was killed because of her unfilial daughter-in-law! That is the reason wh
