Before Charlie arrived, Jacob was fuming over Matilda's marriage to Mr. Riley. But now, he's only concerned that Matilda will send him an invitation.
Meanwhile, Matilda and Mr. Riley are discussing the guest list for their wedding reception. Although their social circles differ, they share similar attributes. Most of their friends are in the United States, and they have only a few distant relatives in China.
As for their local friends in Aurous Hill, Matilda has some classmates, but they have little contact, except for Jacob whom they frequently meet. So, they deliberate over whom to invite and whom to exclude.
Matilda suggests, "Let's go through them one by one. Let's start with our friends in the United States. Considering the long distance, I don't think we should notify them. It's not easy for them to travel all the way here. It would seem impolite to burden them with such a journey. What do you think?"
Mr. Riley nods and smiles, "I agree with you... Our friends in the United States have extensive connections and deep friendships, but it's not appropriate to invite them to the wedding. If they decline, we would appear foolish. If they accept, we would feel guilty. So, my suggestion is that after we tie the knot, we should plan a trip to the United States together. You have your social circle, and I have mine. We can introduce each other to our friends during our visit. How does that sound?"
