NovelEnglishCharlie and Claire were still in the car, and they were still sdistance away from the group of people. So, they could not hear exactly what they were talking about.
However, by the looks of it, it was obvious that Matilda must have asked her son, Paul, to help her prepare a gift for Jacob in exchange.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClaire felt even more depressed when she saw both of them exchanging gifts with one another. "Just look at Dad and Aunt Hall! Both of them are obviously acting more than just ordinary friends. They are more like a middle- aged and elderly couple in love!" 7 Charlie nodded gently.
He had already noticed a long tago that both of them had a deep affection for each other. Matilda had even given Paul the middle n'Jamal'. This proved that she had never once forgotten about Jacob throughout all this time. 6 As for Jacob, there was nothing else that needed to be said. After being oppressed by Elaine for so many years, he had already been missing and yearning for Matilda for a long tnow.
If Charlie had allowed Elaine to evaporate from the face of this world after she had stolen his bank card, Jacob would have already reunited with Matilda and continued their relationship by now. 4 At this time, Claire could not stand it anymore, and she told Charlie, "Why don't you press the horn twice t o remind Dad that you are already here? Otherwise, he will definitely continue chatting for another half an hour." 6 Charlie nodded before he pressed on the car horn.
When Jacob turned around and looked in their direction, he recognized Claire's car immediately. He thought that it was Charlie who had cto pick him up. He waved in the direction of the car with a smile on his face. After that, he looked at Matilda before he told her reluctantly, "Oh, Matilda, my son-in-law is here to pickup. I will go back first, then." s Matilda smiled before she said softly, "Letknow when you get hsafely so I do not worry about you." "Okay," Jacob replied as he smiled contentedly. 4 Claire took advantage of this twhen Jacob was facing Matilda as he was speaking to her before she said to Charlie, "My dad probably does not even know that I am also here. I will go and sit in the backseat, then." Upon saying that, Claire pushed the car door open before she got out of the car and got into the back seat. She knew Jacob's car seating habit. He enjoyed sitting in the co-driver seat the most. So, as long as there was no one else in the car, he would unquestionably sit in the co-driver seat without any hesitation at all.
The reason why Claire wanted to hide in the backseat was because she felt that Jacob had already drunk swine, so he would not bother to look behind after he got into the car later. When he saw that Charlie had already driven the car over to him, Jacob opened the car door before he got into the co-driver seat as predicted.
After bidding farewell to Matilda and everyone else, Jacob ran over and ctoward the front of the car. Then, he opened the car door of the co-driver seat without any hesitation at all. He sat in the co-driver seat as he sang happily, "I smile smugly, I smile smugly..." 9 As he was singing, he smiled as he looked at Charlie and said, "My good son-in-law, thank you for coming here just to pickup." Charlie replied, "Dad, why are you being so polite with me?" "That's right!" Jacob patted Charlie's arm before he said gratefully, "I really have to thank you for the set of skincare products you prepared fortoday. Your Aunt Hall likes it very much! Oh! This might probably be the most expensive gift that I have given to her in my life." With that, Jacob sighed as he said, "Sigh... I honestly owe your Aunt Hall too much..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCharlie listened to him talk about Matilda and becso emotional as he sighed. However, Jacob did not know that his daughter, Claire, was sitting in the backseat of the car! As he thought about this, Charlie hurriedly winked at Jacob to indicate to him that there was someone else sitting in the back seat.
Alas, Jacob was already a little tipsy and dizzy after drinking. So, how could he possibly be sensitive to om Charlie's hint? As he urged Charlie to drive, he placed the gift bag on his lap and said joyously, "Your Aunt Hall secretly asked Paul to buya gift. Look, this is it! Make sure you drive steadily. I will open it to see what it is." Charlie was helpless, and he had no choice but to say, " Okay, Dad. I will try my best to drive more steadily. However, you should be careful too!" As he spoke, Charlie tried to give Jacob a hint with his eyes to remind him to be careful about the person seated behind him. 7
Jacob obviously did not know what Charlie meant. As he was unpacking the gift, he said seriously, "This is' a gift from your Aunt Hall. Of course I will be very careful. I cannot destroy this gift even if I were to injure myself!" RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
