Chapter 871


    Charlie drove around town aimlessly. When he got a call from Jacob saying that Matilda was going


    to their house soon, he drove home.


    ire received her father''s call too with the same message, and she headed home despite her


    reluctance.


    Loreen insisted to stay out of dinner at home tonight when she learned that there were visitors


    coming.


    ire wanted herpany to avoid awkward silence, but she felt awkward enough already so she


    rejected her offer by saying she had to work overtime and had dinner by herself.


    ire was in no ce to force Loreen though, she warned Jacob beforehand instead, "Dad, when


    your friendes over, please don''t try to talk about me, I''m not in the mood to chit chat today.”

    Jacob knew that he could not push her too much since she was willing toe home and have


    dinner with Matilda for his sake, so he said to Charlie, "My dear son-inw, at dinnerter, I need


    you to lighten the mood, okay?" 3


    "Alright.” Charlie nodded hesitantly.


    At this moment, the doorbell rang. Jacob rushed to the inte system and shrieked excitedly,


    "They''re here! I''ll go get the door.”


    He barged out the main door and went through the


    yard to open the gate.


    ire sighed at her father''s unusual vibe and asked," Hey, do you think there is something going on


    between dad and that Aunt Hall?"


    Charlie chuckled. "They haven’t met each other for more than 2 decades, what else can there be?


    Stop overthinking it."


    ire frowned, her tone serious, “But, dad seems to be unusually happy and excited."


    Charlie tried tofort her by saying, "Well, they had a history, you know that, don’t you?”


    ire quickly interjected, “But dad has already married mom, and they are not divorced! He should


    be loyal to his marriage vow and be a responsible husband!"


    Charlie chuckled and said, "Why do you sound like your dad really has an affair already? Please, he


    just saw his first love after 2 decades, it''s not as serious as you think."


    ire sighed helplessly. "I''m not saying that there is something between them now, I’m just


    worried."


    Meanwhile, Matilda was standing outside the vi, marveling at the most prestigious vi in Aurous


    Hill.


    She had been away from the country for a long time, s o she wasn''t familiar with the domestic real


    estate and their market value, nor did she understand what Thompson First meant in Oskia, hence,


    she hadn''t given much thought when Jacob told her their address, Thompson First Vi A05.


    But after she came to the Thompson First residential park, she realized how extravagant and


    majestic the houses here.


    The discovery of Jacob living in such a luxurious vi made her quite surprised and befuddled. This


    was because when she asked their college mates about Jacob''s recent situation over the years, the


    feedback was that he was not doing very well, which made her a little confused. 6


    While waiting for Jacob outside the gate, Paul checked the selling price of the Thompson First vis


    on his phone and said, "Mom, it says here that the houses here are selling at about 80 to 100


    million, and, check this out, the Type A vis like this one are thergest in size, they are selling at


    over 100 million."
