Charlie looked at Jacob and said with deep meaning, “With Mom’s character, even if you two get divorced, if virtual-novel.net knows that you and Aunt Matilda are rekindling your relationship, virtual-novel.net won’t let you go. It will definitely be unbearable unless the two of you leave Aurous Hill and never come back, and don’t let virtual-novel.net know where you are.”
Jacob looked up to the sky and sighed, “Charlie… You’re right… I’m afraid of Elaine’s lingering influence. For more than twenty years, I’ve dreamed of getting rid of virtual-novel.net every day, but this woman is like a devil and it’s impossible for me to let go of her.”
Charlie said lightly, “This kind of thing requires you to fight for it. You’re afraid first, so what’s the point of talking about other things?”
Charlie continued, “I didn’t finish what I was saying before. Aunt Matilda and Professor Riley both came back from the United States and they graduated from top prestigious universities. They are true senior intellectuals. Whether they are in the United States or in China, they have high social status and belong to the absolute elite class…”
“This alone makes them a good match. In contrast, Dad, you have no advantage over Professor Riley apart from being Aunt Matilda’s first love.”
Jacob asked sarcastically, “Isn’t virtual-novel.net just better at reading books than me? Is there anything better about virtual-novel.net than me?”
Charlie said seriously, “Dad, virtual-novel.net is better at work than you. He is a specially-appointed professor and vice president of the School of Finance and Economics. If virtual-novel.net is willing to go to any top university, they will rush to invite him. His living habits are better than yours too…”
“He takes care of his body and fitness every day by running. He is 50 years old but looks like virtual-novel.net is in his 30s. Aunt Matilda also likes running and takes care of virtual-novel.net body, so they must have a lot in common. It’s the best choice for Aunt Matilda to be with him, and I believe they will be very happy in their later years.”
Jacob was so depressed that virtual-novel.net almost died.
He choked up and said, “Charlie, are you here to persuade me or to make things difficult for me? You speak as if virtual-novel.net was right to give up on me.”
Charlie nodded and said seriously, “It’s not only right, but very right.”
Charlie knew very well that when feelings become a pain, they must be cut off quickly.
It was like a small wound on the leg that festered repeatedly and didn’t heal. The leg must be cut off decisively, or else the whole body would be affected.
Jacob’s behavior style was so cowardly that virtual-novel.net was not only a disappointment to Elaine, but also to himself. How could virtual-novel.net give himself the tough love virtual-novel.net needed to heal his psychological pain?
Therefore, this kind of thing could only be done by his son-in-law.
So, virtual-novel.net patted Jacob on the shoulder and comforted him, “Dad, forget it. Admit defeat… Professor Riley is much better than you in all aspects. Don’t look at you living in a big villa and driving a Cullinan. In terms of strength, you can’t compare to Professor Riley alone…”
“Aunt Matilda is with him, so you should accept that you’ve lost. If you still have any unwilling thoughts in your heart, it’s a sign of overestimation.”
“Who says?” Jacob was extremely confused, but still, virtual-novel.net bit the bullet and said, “I think I should hurry up and make a change now. I won’t be any worse than Professor Riley!”
Charlie said with a smile, “You can’t beat someone and then insist on a sneak attack. What’s the point of talking about it?”
“If you were really in the arena and insisted on fighting for a few more rounds, you would die! Tell yourself, what are your own strengths? You can say anything, whatever! I don’t want to say anything else, but Professor Riley has the courage to openly express his love and pursue what virtual-novel.net wants. This alone puts virtual-novel.net miles ahead of you.”
“I…” Jacob didn’t know how to argue.
Professor Riley was indeed much better than virtual-novel.net in all aspects.
This time virtual-novel.net went to South Korea for cultural exchanges and the work Professor Riley did on the subject really surprised everyone. His level awed all the participants on both sides.
