Charlie cruised through town without a specific destination in mind. Just then, he received a call from Jacob, informing him that Matilda would be arriving at their house shortly. Promptly, he turned his car around and headed home.


    Meanwhile, ire also got the same news from her father. Despite her hesitations, she decided to make her way back home.<fn05b9> Find the newest release on findnovel</fn05b9>


    When Loreen learned about the impending visitors, she adamantly opted out of dinner at home. ire, hoping to avoid an awkward silence, yearned for Loreen’spany. However, feeling awkward herself, she declined the offer, iming she had to workte and would be dining alone.


    ire didn’t feel right forcing Loreen to stay, so she preemptively warned Jacob, saying, “Dad, when your friendes over, please don’t bring me into the conversation. I’m just not in the mood for chit-chat today.”


    Understanding her feelings, Jacob knew he shouldn’t push her too hard, especially since she was willing to return home for dinner with Matilda for his sake. He turned to Charlie and said, “My dear son-inw, I need you to help lighten the mood at dinnerter, alright?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Sure,” Charlie replied with a hint of uncertainty.


    Just then, the doorbell rang. Jacob darted to the inte, practically bursting with excitement, “They’re here! I’ll get the door!”


    He hurried out through the main door and made his way to the gate.


    ire watched her father’s unusual enthusiasm and asked, “Do you think something’s going on between Dad and Aunt Matilda?”


    Charlie let out augh. “They haven’t seen each other in over twenty years. What else could there be? You’re overthinking it.”


    ire frowned, her expression serious. “But Dad seems more than just happy; he’s excited!”


    Charlie tried to reassure her, saying, “Well, they do share a history. You know that, right?”


    ire quickly interjected, “But Dad is married to Mom! They aren’t divorced! He should be loyal to his vows and act like a responsible husband!”


    Charlie chuckled again. “Why do you sound like you think he’s having an affair? Come on, he’s just seeing his first love after twenty years. It’s really not as serious as you imagine.”


    ire sighed, feeling helpless. “I’m not saying there’s something happening between them now; I’m just concerned.”


    Outside the vi, Matilda stood admiring the grandeur of the most prestigious property in Aurous Hill. She had been away from the country for quite some time, so she wasn’t up-to-date with the local real estate market or the significance of Thompson First. Consequently, she hadn’t thought much when Jacob mentioned their address, Thompson First Vi A05.


    However, upon arriving at the Thompson First residential area, she was taken aback by the opulence of the homes.


    Matilda was astonished and confused to discover that Jacob lived in such a luxurious vi. Her confusion stemmed from the fact that when she had inquired about Jacob’s recent circumstances from their college friends, she had heard he was not faring very well.


    While waiting for Jacob outside the gate, Paul checked the selling prices of the Thompson First vis on his phone. “Mom, it says these houses are going for around 80 to 100 million. And look, the Type A vis, like this one, are thergest and are priced at over 100 million!”
