Jacob and Charlie drank swhite wine together, in which Jacob was in a delightful mood.
Claire wanted to drink sred wine with Elaine, but Elaine snatched the red wine from her hand and poured it for herself while saying very seriously," Claire, you can't drink alcohol if you are trying to get pregnant. It's not good for the baby!" With that, she turned to Charlie and said with a smile," My dear son-in-law, don't drink too much. Drinking too much wine will affect seeds' qualities in men! Eventually, it will affect the quality of pregnancy and the development of the fetus!" Claire was immediately flustered. Blushed in embarrassment, Claire huffed, "Mom... Why are you being such a blabbermouth!" Elaine said in an earnest tone, "I'm teaching you health care and pregnancy knowledge. These are mentioned by those parenting and genetics experts on TV!" Claire shook her head helplessly. "You don't have to be so blunt though! At least be more tactful!" Elaine frowned, aggrieved. "Didn't I use the term " seed" instead of sperm? Isn't that tactful enough?" Jacob was a lightweight drinker, so he was a little tipsy after a few glasses. He looked at Charlie and said in a rather stern tone, albeit a little drunk, "Dear son-in-law, don't listen to Elaine's nonsense. Years ago I drank too much, but Claire was still able to be conceived while I was in an unconscious state. Look at Claire, is she of poor quality? In terms of quality, I daresay that my daughter is top-ranked in our country! She has inherited all my good genes!" 4 Elaine immediately snorted and said, "Oh, please! You say Claire inherited your good genes? What good genes do you have? Claire looks so beautiful, and it is all thanks to my naturally born beauty!" 2 "Bullshit!" Jacob pursed his lips. "Gorgeous? No one would want to pick you up even if you're dumped down the drain! Naturally gorgeous, my *ss!" 3 Elaine slammed the cutlery down on the table and shouted angrily, "Jacob Wilson, what do you want? I don't want to fight with you on New Year's Eve, so you better watch your tongue!" 4 Jacob shrank his neck timidly and said in a somewhat nervous tone, "Hey, I'm just passing sknowledge to Charlie. It's men's talk, so stay out of it." Then, he patted Charlie's shoulder and exhorted," Charlie, listen to me. You don't have to think or prepare anything. Just have a few drinks, if you like it, and be happy. When the tcomes, the baby will come!" 3 As Claire heard this, Claire's face had turned a bright red, feeling abashed. She immediately put down her cutlery and said, "If you guys keep talking about such inappropriate topics, I'll go back to my room and watch TV." 4 "Oh, please don't!" Jacob waved his hands frantically." I'll stop, alright? Tonight is our first tspending New Year's Eve as a family of four. Not only that we're able to live in such a luxurious villa, but also we don't have to suffer from your grandma's nagging. Anyhow, we must enjoy this dinner to the fullest!" 1 Elaine agreed with Jacob's point of view, and said cheerfully, "Yes! Let's stay up until midnight to see in the New Year!" Claire said, "It's okay to stay up, but you guys don't spew nonsense again..." 1 "Fine!" Elaine laughed. "I know you are very shy, so I'll drop the subject!" 1 Jacob quickly diverted the subject and said to Charlie, "Come, Charlie, let's drink!" Charlie nodded. He picked up his wine glass and clinked it against Jacob's.
After finishing the wine, he received two text messages on his phone. 2 He clicked them open, and they were surprisingly from Nanako in Japan.
