The Amazing son in law Chapter 881

The two initial lovers put in a lot of effort in the kitchen, and after over an hour of hard work, they emerged with a table brimming with delicious dishes.

Jacob stepped outside and announced to Charlie and Paul, “Get ready! Dinner will be served soon.”

Then, Jacob turned to Paul and asked, “By the way, Paul, how about having a drink or two with me tonight?”

Paul smiled faintly as he retrieved a gift box from his bag. “Uncle Wilson,” he said, “I’ve brought along two bottles of 30-year-old Kweichow Moutai liquor. But this isn’t just any Moutai; it’s an exported version from over twenty years ago. This liquor made its way to the United States and has been preserved by collectors ever since. Each bottle weighs around two kilograms.”

Jacob was taken aback and exclaimed, “Thirty years of aging, plus over twenty years since it was exported? That means it’s been over fifty years now!”

“That’s right!” Paul replied with a smile. “It’s probably around fifty-six years old now.”

Jacob sighed, saying, “This liquor is incredibly valuable. It would be a shame for you to give it to me. You should really keep it for yourself.”

Paul quickly responded, “Uncle Wilson, there’s no need to be overly polite. I actually brought this as a gift for you. If you’re up for it, we can open a bottle and enjoy it together tonight. If not, we can always choose another drink.”

Hearing Paul’s offer, Jacob smiled and said, “Thank you! In that case, let’s open a bottle tonight!”

Then, Jacob turned to Charlie and said, “Charlie, could you please go upstairs and invite Claire down for dinner?”

Charlie nodded and replied, “Sure, I’ll go get her right now.”

With that, Charlie stood up and made his way upstairs. Upon reaching their bedroom, he found Claire lying on the bed with her back to the door.

He called out, “My dear wife, it’s time for dinner.”

Just as Charlie was about to step into the room, Claire said, “Oh, don’t come in just yet.”

Immediately, Claire stood up, still facing away from Charlie, and pretended to wipe tears from her eyes.

Concerned, Charlie hurried over to her. Upon seeing her red and swollen eyes, he asked, “Wife, why are you crying again?”

Claire shook her head and insisted, “I’m not crying. My eyes are just a bit uncomfortable.”

Charlie felt a pang of distress. “Why do you insist on lying to me? Your eyes are so red and swollen; how can you say you’re not crying?”

Then, he gently asked, “Is it about Mom?”

Claire fell silent for a moment before sighing and saying, “It’s been over thirty hours, and there’s still no news about Mom. I’m really scared that something terrible has happened to her.”

As she spoke, Claire couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, sobbing, “Furthermore, with such a significant event occurring at home, I thought Dad would feel the same way I do. But I truly didn’t expect him to…” Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn find•novel.net

Unable to finish her thought, Claire broke down, overwhelmed with anger and grief, and began to cry loudly.

Charlie quickly wrapped his arms around her, gently patting her back as he comforted her, “My dear wife, please stop crying. Mom is going to be fine. Don’t worry. I assure you, she’s alright…”

Claire sobbed and questioned, “How can you assure me of anything? You don’t even know where my mom is or what she might be going through. She could be in danger…”

Charlie replied earnestly, “Don’t worry, Claire. Since I’ve made you a promise, I won’t let anything happen to her. I’ll enlist the help of some very capable friends to figure this out, okay?”

Claire looked at him anxiously and asked, “Are you serious? Will your friends really be willing to help you?”
