The two first lovers continued working hard in the kitchen and they finally came out with a table full of dishes after more than one hour.
Jacob came out and told Charlie and Paul, “Get ready! We can eat soon.”
After that, Jacob asked Paul, “By the way, Paul, would you like to have a drink or two with me tonight?”
Paul smiled slightly before virtual-novel.net took out a gift box and said, “Uncle Wilson, it so happens that I’ve also brought two bottles of 30-years old Kweichow Moutai liquor. This bottle of Kweichow Moutai isn’t just any ordinary Moutai. This is the exported version of the liquor from over twenty years ago. This liquor was exported to the United States and it was kept and preserved by collectors in the United States until now. Each bottle weighs about two kilograms.”
Jacob was very surprised and virtual-novel.net said, “Thirty years aging after being exported more than twenty years ago? Wouldn’t it be more than fifty years now?”
“Yes!” Paul smiled before virtual-novel.net said, “I believe that it’s about fifty-six years now.”
Jacob sighed as virtual-novel.net said, “Oh, this bottle of liquor is simply too precious. It would be a waste for you to give this to me. You should keep it for yourself.”
Paul hurriedly replied, “Uncle Wilson, you don’t have to be so polite with me. I originally brought this here as a gift for you anyway. If you want to, we can open a bottle and drink it together tonight. If you don’t want to, we could drink some other liquor instead.”
When Jacob heard Paul’s words, virtual-novel.net smiled before virtual-novel.net said, “Thank you! If that is the case, then we should just open a bottle tonight!”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Jacob said to Charlie, “Charlie, why don’t you go upstairs and ask Claire to come down for dinner?”
Charlie nodded slightly before virtual-novel.net said, “Alright then, I’ll go upstairs to get virtual-novel.net now.”
After that, Charlie stood up and went upstairs immediately. When virtual-novel.net came to their bedroom, virtual-novel.net saw that Claire was lying on the bed with virtual-novel.net back facing the door.
He said, “My dear wife, it is time for dinner.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Charlie was about to walk into the bedroom but virtual-novel.net heard his wife saying, “Oh, don’t come over here yet.”
Immediately afterwards, Claire stood up with virtual-novel.net back facing Charlie. After that, virtual-novel.net reached out virtual-novel.net hands as though virtual-novel.net was wiping the tears off virtual-novel.net eyes.
Charlie hurriedly walked towards Claire at this time. When virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net red and swollen eyes, virtual-novel.net asked, “Wife, why are you crying again?”
Claire shook virtual-novel.net head as virtual-novel.net stubbornly denied, “I was not crying. My eyes are just a little uncomfortable.”
Charlie felt very distressed and virtual-novel.net said, “Why are you still trying to lie to me? Your eyes are already so red and swollen so how could you possibly not be crying?”
After virtual-novel.net spoke, Charlie asked softly, “Is it because of Mom?”
Claire was silent for a moment before virtual-novel.net sighed and said, “It has already been more than thirty hours now and there’s still no news about Mom at all. I am really afraid that something bad has already happened to Mom.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Claire could not hold back virtual-novel.net tears and virtual-novel.net burst out into tears as virtual-novel.net said, “Furthermore, since such a big thing has already happened at home, I thought that Dad would have the same thought as me. However, I really didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to…”
Claire could not even finish virtual-novel.net sentence. She could no longer hold back the anger and grievances that virtual-novel.net was feeling inside so virtual-novel.net started to sob and cry out loud.
Charlie hurriedly stretched out his hand before virtual-novel.net took virtual-novel.net in his arms. After that, virtual-novel.net patted virtual-novel.net back gently as virtual-novel.net comforted virtual-novel.net and said, “My dear wife, stop crying. Mom will definitely be fine. Don’t worry. I can assure you that she’s definitely alright…”
Claire sobbed as virtual-novel.net asked, “How can you assure or promise me anything? You don’t even know where my mom is now. You don’t know what virtual-novel.net is going through or if she’s in any danger at all…”
Charlie replied seriously, “Don’t worry, Claire. Since I’ve already promised you, then I won’t let anything happen to her. I’ll ask some of my very capable and powerful friends to help me to figure out a solution to this matter, okay?”
Claire hurriedly asked, “Are you serious? Will your friends really be willing to help you?”
