Once everyone had departed, ire shut the door and turned to Charlie, asking, “It’s clear that there are feelings between Aunt Matilda and my dad. Do you think my dad might cheat?”


    Charlie responded earnestly, “I truly believe Aunt Matilda isn’t that type of person. She sticks to her principles. Even if she has feelings for Dad, she would wait until he and Mom are officially divorced before pursuing anything with him.”


    ire shot back angrily, “What are you talking about? Why would Dad ever divorce Mom?”


    Understanding that ire wouldn’t easily ept this possibility, Charlie decided not to delve deeper into the topic. ncing at his watch, he suggested, “My dear wife, you should stay home and rest tonight. Don’t go looking for your mother anymore. I’ll reach out to some friends and see if they can help.”


    ire gave a slight nod before asking, “Do you want me toe with you?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie quickly replied, “No, it’s fine. I’ll just take a cab and look for them myself. You’ve been worried about Mom for thest couple of days, so please go back to your room and rest.”


    With a sigh, ire agreed, “Alright. I won’t go with you. Just remember to call me if you have any updates.”


    Charlie assured her and opened the door, saying, “Okay, I’m heading out now.”


    After bidding farewell to ire, Charlie left the vi at Thompson First and made his way to the entrance of themunity, where his father-inw, Jacob, had just seen off Matilda and her son.


    Noticing Charlie’s departure, Jacob quickly asked, “Charlie, are you really going out at thiste hour?”


    Charlie nodded slightly in response, “I’m going to ask some friends if they have any leads on Mom’s whereabouts.”


    Jacob’s expression shifted to one of panic as he anxiously grabbed Charlie’s arm, “Who are you going to see? Are you nning to ask Don Albert for help or Miss Moore?”


    Charlie exined, “I’ll be reaching out to various friends since they have connections in Aurous Hill. Maybe we can uncover something about Mom…”


    “Oh…” Jacob sighed, clutching his chest with a heartbroken look. “My dear son-inw, must we be so frantic? Can’t we take a step back and just rx? We’ve hardly had peace these past two days. Do you really want to disrupt that?”


    Charlie understood Jacob’s feelings. He knew that his father-inw was reluctant for his mother-inw to return home, especially since he had just rekindled a rtionship with his first love and was hoping for its continuation.

    However, to Charlie, his wife’s happiness outweighed Jacob’s. He looked at Jacob and said, “I’m sorry, Dad. ire has been in a terrible moodtely, and I worry that if we don’t find Mom soon, it could lead to something bad for her. I need to bring Mom home as quickly as possible.”


    Jacob’s face twisted with concern as he insisted, “Charlie, ire is an adult. She should be able to handle crises. Can’t you just let her wait a couple more days? Please, I’m begging you…”


    With a slight smile, Charlie reassured him, “Dad, there’s no need to worry so much. Even if I ask my friends for help, we might not find Mom immediately.”


    Jacob eximed, “How can I not worry? Don Albert and Miss Moore are incredibly capable in Aurous Hill. If you reach out to them, they could probably find her and bring your mom home tonight!”


    Seeing the desperation in Jacob’s expression, Charlie replied, “Dad, we shouldn’t focus solely on the oue we hope for. Instead of worrying about whether Mom wille home in a few days or not at all, let’s hope she returns soon.”


    He continued, “Once she’s back, you can have a proper conversation with her and finalize the divorce. That way, you can pursue your own happiness without any concerns.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
