At a little after eight o’clock in the morning, Charlie drove the old man out of the villa.There was still more than two hours before the plane landed but Jacob could not wait any longer.After leaving the villa at Thompson First, Jacob hurriedly asked Charlie, “My dear son-in-law, do you know where I can buy a bouquet of flowers? I want to buy a bouquet of roses to give to Matilda.”Charlie replied, “Dad, your classmate will be bringing her son along with her today. Do you really think that it will be appropriate for you to give her roses in front of her son?”Jacob thought to himself for a few moment before he nodded and said, “You are right. I should just give her an ordinary bouquet of flowers then.”Charlie replied, “I know of a flower shop nearby. We can go there and buy a bouquet of flowers first.”As soon as they arrived at the flower shop, Charlie spent five hundred dollars to ask the florist to help him to prepare a bouquet of flowers that symbolizes friendship. After
Matilda’s appearance was even more impeccable. She was really very beautiful and she looked very elegant and classy. She had the smart and intelligent look that could only be seen in previous generations of intellectuals.There was a very famous television celebrity in this age group and she was an actress named Catherine Zeta-Jones. She could easily be considered as one of the most charming and beautiful woman amongst all the other women in her age group. However, Matilda was even more beautiful compared to Catherine Zeta-Jones!Catherine Zeta-Jones was in her early fifties and she was still extremely charming and beautiful. Matilda was three years younger than her but she looked like she was six or seven years younger than her!How could this possibly be an aunt who was nearly fifty years old?She was simply an older sister who looked like she was in her thirties or early forties!Charlie was stunned. He really did not expect Jacob’s first love to be such an impeccable and super
Paul’s Oskian language was indeed very good. If anyone closed their eyes and listened to them speak, no one would be able to tell that he was actually an American. Charlie was also very surprised and he shook Paul’s head before he said in admiration, “Mr. Paul, your Oskian language is indeed really very impressive.”Paul smiled humbly before he said, “Mr. Wade, you are thinking too highly of me!”Jacob hurriedly said, “By the way, Matilda, I have already booked a room at Shangri-La hotel for lunch today. Why don’t we head over there to have a welcome meal for you and Paul now?”Matilda smiled before she said, “Thank you, Jacob. I really appreciate the fact that you came all the way here with Charlie to pick us up and treat us to lunch today…”“It is only right for me to do so!” Jacob smiled awkwardly before he said, “Well, we happened to drive here today so we can go together in one car!”“Okay.” Matilda nodded before she said to Paul, “Son, tell your driver that we will not be ta
The foreign driver nodded hurriedly before he said, “Okay, chairman. I will go right now!”After that, he opened the trunk of the Rolls-Royce Phantom before he took all the suitcases from Paul’s hand and placed them in the trunk.After he was done, he asked Matilda, “Chairman, aren’t you and the general manager going to the Shangri-La hotel in this car?”Matilda nodded before he said, “I will be going there in my old classmate’s car. You can leave first.”Jacob looked at the new and luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom in front of him and he could not help but feel particularly uneasy at this time.He could clearly tell the value of this car.An ordinary car like this would have cost at least eight or nine million dollars. Furthermore, this car was equipped with a golden man logo which was made out of pure gold. This would cost them an extra two hundred thousand dollars!Jacob could not help but feel a little more inferior at this time.Therefore, he hurriedly said, “Oh, Matilda, perh
After the driver drove the Rolls-Royce Phantom away, Charlie drove Jacob’s BMW 5 Series over to the entrance of the airport.As soon as the car stopped directly in front of the three of them, the old man hurriedly opened the rear car door before he said in a gentlemanly manner, “Matilda, after you!”Matilda nodded slightly before she smiled and bent her body to get into the car.Immediately afterward, Paul walked over to the other side of the car as he prepared to get into the back seat with his mother. At this time, Jacob hurriedly said, “Oh, Paul! Since you and Charlie are both young people, you should have a lot of topics in common. You should have a good chat with him along the way to the hotel!”After that, Jacob quickly got into the back seat before Paul could even reply to his request.Paul had no choice but to get into the co-driver seat.Charlie drove toward the city and Jacob, who was sitting in the back seat with Matilda, could not help but feel a little embarrassed as
At that time, a young American boy was madly pursuing her. Out of anger and because she simply wanted to forget her past as soon as possible, she decided to accept the other party’s pursuit.Both of them got married quickly, started a family, and had children together very soon.That American boy was very kind to her and he cared for her throughout all his life. However, Matilda had always been unable to forget her ex-boyfriend even after more than twenty years had already passed by.When she looked back on their history, she realized that she had been too arrogant in the past and that was the reason why she was fooled by others. She realized that her roommate did not come to her just because she wanted to confess her mistake and ask for her forgiveness. In fact, although her roommate told her that she hoped that she would not mind this matter at all, she was secretly hoping that Matilda would mind it and take the initiative to back out of her relationship so that she would willin
Jacob’s mind drifted in the ocean of thoughts, reminiscing his past. His eyes turned red, and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.Matilda was perfect. Even in Charlie’s eyes, she was completely incomparable to Elaine. She was a million times better than Elaine, and Jacob had spent more than 2 decades with a shrew who was nowhere near the quality of his ex. It was undeniable that Jacob would feel uncomfortable and upset when he saw Matilda again.Matilda was sorrowful as well when she saw Jacob’s tears.She regretted her decision too.She regretted that she left him on the impulse.None of them were happy for the past 20 years.Both of them suffered the same torment, mentally and emotionally.If so, why did she choose to break up with him in the first place?She knew that he didn’t like Elaine.She knew that he must have completely lost consciousness, otherwise, Elaine wouldn’t be able to take advantage of him.She even knew subconsciously that it was Elaine’s plan all
Jacob prayed to God, hoping that Elaine would never come back again. She had tormented him for more than 2 decades, he had accomplished the unthinkable because of this, it was time to set him free.If Elaine never came back, he was certain that he 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 him as his stepfather.As for Claire, she was a sensible and filial daughter. If her mother was indeed missing, she wouldn’t object to him pursuing his true love. After all, he could not live alone for the rest of his life after Elaine disappeared.His only concern right now was whether Elaine would return.So he could only pray to God for his wish to come true.However, he 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 d
