Chapter 861


    The lunch gathering at Shangri-La was delightful and fun. Jacob and Matilda were feeling equally


    happy. She was feeling under the weather after her husband’s death but it seemed that the sky had


    cleared now. 7


    Paul was very pleased to see his mother in such a good mood.


    As for Charlie, he felt sorry for his father-inw. 6


    The reason was nothing more than Matilda being too perfect for him. He couldn''t imagine what


    would happen when such a morous, elegant, wealthydy who was also single returned to


    Aurous Hill. She would attract a lot of attention, especially the pursuit o f other wealthy old men,


    which would only umte troubles for Jacob, s


    Matilda and Paul were rather exhausted after traveling for long hours back to Oskia. Hence, after


    lunch, Jacob and Charlie sent them to their room at Shangri-La. 2


    Again, Jacob was taken aback because Matilda and Paul checked into the extremely luxurious


    executive suites.


    The executive suite in Shangri-La was second only to the presidential suite which could


    amodate four people. The rate for a night was tens of thousands of dors. It further proved


    that Matilda had a very


    strong financial background as they could each live in such a fancy room, i


    After bidding farewell, Charlie and Jacob left the hotel together.


    As soon as they exited the hotel entrance, Jacob nced up to the sky, took a deep breath, and


    sighed heavily.


    Charlie asked, "Dad, what’s wrong?"


    Jacob pouted and said, “I didn''t expect, I really didn''t expect Matilda to have such a great life in the


    United States, she even has her ownw firm! I have nothing, I''mpletely useless..." 2


    Charlie smiled, patted his back, and uttered, "Dad, I don''t think Aunt Hall despises you at all.


    Besides, she i s very humble and modest, I don''t think she is a materialistic kind of person. Don’t


    mind too much about these superficial gaps!" 4


    Jacob sighed again, "I understand what you''re saying, but as a man, I feel very lowly and


    shameful.” 6


    "Dad, you are overthinking this. Look at me. When ire and I got married, I had nothing. I had no


    money, no status, no family background, nothing. The gap between ire and I was muchrger


    than you and Aunt Hall. However, look at us now. We live quite a happy life together, don''t we?" 5


    Jacob was stunned by his remark and fell silent for a moment, digesting his words. 4


    Charlie was right. None of his concerns or worry meant anything now because it was impossible for


    him to fill the gap based on his current ability and wealth. 2


    But did it mean that he could never be with her simply because he couldn''t fill the gap?


    Of course, not!


    Jacob could sense that Matilda still had feelings for him after so many years. Besides, at the airport,


    she even said that she wouldn''t mind at all if he came to pick her up riding a bicycle. 5


    This was enough to show that she didn’t care about the superficial material needs.

    Eventually, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    However, another crucial problem came to his mind.
