Matilda’s appearance was nothing short of stunning. She exuded beauty and elegance, radiating a ssic charm reminiscent of the intellectuals from generations past.
In this era, a well-known television personality was the talented actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. Renowned for her charm and beauty, Catherine was undoubtedly one of the most captivating women in her age group. However, Matilda surpassed even her in beauty!
Catherine Zeta-Jones was in her early fifties, yet she remained incredibly enchanting. Matilda, just three years younger, looked like she could be six or seven years her junior!
How could someone nearly fifty years old appear so youthful?
She seemed more like an older sister, radiating the vitality of someone in her thirties or early forties!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Charlie was taken aback. He had not anticipated that Jacob’s first love would be such an exquisite and morous middle-aged woman! He could only imagine the beauty Matilda must have possessed in her younger days!
Oh my God!
Charlie felt a twinge of envy towards Jacob, that seemingly frail old man. How fortunate was Jacob to have once loved such a stunning beauty!
At the same time, Charlie felt an overwhelming sympathy for Jacob!<fn2526> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? f?ndnovel</fn2526>
He couldn’t believe that Jacob had let go of such a lovely and graceful woman, with such a radiant spirit, all because of ine! It was as if he relinquished a grand prize just to clutch at trivialities!
As Jacob gazed at Matilda, still as breathtaking as ever, he felt an even deeper sense of pity for himself!
Why did it seem like Matilda had defied the passage of time, remaining untouched by the years that had gone by?
What was it about her beauty that still left him breathless, even after two decades?
How could her smile and subtle dimples remain so captivating after all this time? Why did Jacob feel his knees grow weak merely from looking at her?
At that moment, Matilda approached Jacob. Standing before him, she shed a warm smile and said, “Jacob, I don’t think we’ve seen each other in more than twenty years!”
Feeling a bit nervous, Jacob quickly replied, “Yes, that… Matilda, I can’t believe so many years have passed!”
Charlie noticed that Jacob was still clutching the bouquet of flowers in his hand as he spoke to Matilda. It seemed he hadpletely forgotten to present the flowers. Charlie promptly reminded him, “Dad, don’t just hold on to the bouquet! Give it to her!”
Finally snapping back to reality, Jacob hurriedly handed the bouquet to Matilda, stammering, “Matilda, this… this bouquet is for you. Wee back to Aurous Hill!”
Matilda’s face lit up with joy as she epted the flowers. With a heartfelt expression, she replied, “Thank you, Jacob!”
After giving Matilda the bouquet, Jacob found himself at a loss for what to do with his empty hands. Rubbing them together awkwardly, he managed a stiff smile and said, “Matilda, it’s been so long! Why are you being so formal with me?”
Just then, a tall, handsome young man with blond hair approached, pulling along some luggage.
This young man had fair skin and an appearance that suggested a connection to either America or Europe. However, his dark pupils and unique facial features hinted at a mixed heritage, resembling Matilda in certain ways.
He walked over to Matilda and smiled. “Mom, is this your college friend?”
Matilda quickly pulled her son closer and introduced him to Jacob. “Jacob, let me introduce you to my son, Paul.”
Jacob extended his hand with a smile, saying, “Hello, Paul! You speak Chinese quite well!”
Paul chuckled lightly and replied, “Uncle, you’re too kind! Although I’m an American citizen and my father is American, I’m half Chinese. My mother made sure I learned Chinese from a young age and never let me ck off!”
Jacob nodded and then introduced Charlie to them. “Matilda, Paul, this is my son-inw, Charlie!”
Paul reached out his hand to Charlie, smiling as he said, “Hello, Mr. Wade!”
