The Amazing son in law Chapter 834

“How can I explain myself?” Jacob responded. “No matter how hard I tried to clarify the situation, the truth remains that something did happen between Elaine and me. Matilda is someone who values cleanliness above all else. She wanted her life to be spotless, and she sought a relationship that was equally pure. Deep down, she knew that Elaine was the one who got me drunk and orchestrated this entire ordeal. Ultimately, Matilda felt she could no longer be with someone like me, so she ended things without a second thought and moved to the United States.”

Charlie prompted him, “So, do you still think about her?”

Jacob opened up, “How could I not? Matilda was my first love, the only woman I’ve ever truly cared for. I even changed the password on my phone to her birth date…”

Charlie nodded thoughtfully and inquired, “Have you tried to find out how she’s doing now?”

“I’ve made some inquiries,” Jacob replied. “But I haven’t been able to gather much. Over the past few years, I’ve only heard that she married an American and had a son. From what I understand, they’re doing well, but beyond that, I’m in the dark. My old classmates lost touch with her long ago.”

Charlie contemplated this, thinking to himself, ‘If Matilda knew how Jacob has changed, she probably wouldn’t feel the same way about him anymore.’

Noticing that Charlie had yet to take a sip of his drink, Jacob expressed his discontent, “Come on, my good son-in-law! Why aren’t you joining me? You can’t let me drink alone!”

With a smile, Charlie lifted his glass and said, “Let’s drink together!”

Just as Jacob was finishing his sentence, his phone began to ring.

Seeing an unfamiliar number flash on the screen, he frowned. “Who could be calling me at this hour?”

He instinctively answered the call.

A gentle voice came through the line, asking tentatively, “Excuse me, is this Jacob Wilson?”

Taken aback, Jacob stuttered, “You… you are…”

Jacob was stunned!

He paused for a moment before regaining his composure and exclaimed, “Matilda? Is it really you?”

“Yes, it’s me.” She smiled on the other end. “What’s wrong? Did my voice change so much that you didn’t recognize me? Your voice sounds just the same.”

Jacob, now flustered, said, “I… we haven’t spoken in years. What made you decide to call me? I was just talking about you with my son-in-law…” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ find⦿novel.net

“Really?” Matilda asked with curiosity. “What did you say about me? Are you reminiscing about our past?”

“No, no, it’s not like that,” Jacob replied nervously. “I’m just having a drink with my son-in-law and got a bit emotional, so I mentioned you.”

Curiously, Jacob then asked, “Matilda, what prompted you to reach out?”

Matilda smiled again, saying, “My son and I have decided to move back to China. I wanted to contact you and some of our old classmates because I’d love to treat everyone to a meal when I return to Aurous Hill. It’s been far too long since we last met…”
