The Amazing son in law Chapter 6604
He looked surprised and asked, “Good son-in-law, where did you get this car?”
This vehicle had been arranged for Charlie Wade by Sister Xian when he left Purple Mountain Villa, and he had driven it back to Tangchen. It was a top-tier model, so it was still in use today.
Charlie Wade replied, “One of my clients lent me this car. You came to me in a hurry, so I thought I’d bring it along.”
After saying this, Charlie Wade added, “Dad, you really are something else. You’re crying like this, yet you’re still concerned about the car. What’s going on? Your friend mentioned you’ve been upset for a while?”
Jacob, hearing this, erupted in anger: “That Zhao Xubin! He’s in his fifties and has no sense! He’s such an idiot! The more he annoys me, the more he nags! He truly deserves to be scolded!”
Charlie Wade then asked, “Dad, what’s bothering you so much?”
Jacob’s expression darkened dramatically. He sighed heavily, saying, “Charlie Wade… your Aunt Matilda… is getting married…”
“Getting married?” Charlie Wade asked, intrigued. “Is it with Professor He?”
“Yes!” Jacob gritted his teeth in frustration. “That jerk named He!”
Charlie Wade shrugged and replied, “It’s going to rain, and my mother wants her family. Who can take care of it? Besides, they’ve been together; getting married seems normal, right?”
Jacob retorted angrily, “Why should he?! Your Aunt Matilda has clearly loved me for over thirty years!”
Charlie Wade calmly responded, “But you’ve been married to my mother for over thirty years.”
Jacob looked as if he’d been struck, snapping back, “I was in a drunken stupor back then… Ugh! That was because Elaine took advantage of me when I was drunk!”
Charlie Wade countered, “Dad, what’s the point of discussing this now? Even if you talk about what happened over thirty years ago, it won’t change the fact that others are getting married.”
Then he added, “Dad, you must look forward in life. Aunt Matilda loved you more than thirty years ago, but that doesn’t mean she still does. Who she loves is her choice; you can’t force it.”
“I…” Jacob stammered, flustered. “When Aunt Matilda returned to China, you came with me to pick her up. Didn’t you see that she still has feelings for me?”
Charlie Wade nodded, “I noticed that.”
Then, his tone shifted, and he raised an eyebrow, saying, “But that’s all in the past now.”
He continued, “There’s a joke I’ve heard: a man gives a beggar five yuan every day when he goes out. Over time, the beggar comes to expect it as his due. One day, the man doesn’t give him anything because he’s buying gifts for his wife. The beggar, furious, asks why he’s using his money for that.”
Charlie Wade paused for a moment before elaborating, “So, you see, Aunt Matilda may have loved you for over thirty years, but that’s her choice. Her love was once given to you, but it doesn’t have to be forever. If she decides to give it to someone else, you have no right to interfere or question her.”
Jacob felt humiliated and shot back, “Charlie Wade, are you saying I’m not worthy of Matilda?”
Charlie Wade, driving with one hand, waved dismissively with the other and replied calmly, “No, no, Dad. Honestly, what you need to focus on now isn’t whether you’re worthy of Aunt Matilda. She’s about to marry Professor He. Even if you are worthy, if she doesn’t choose you, what can you do?”
Jacob asked anxiously, “So, you think I should try to intervene before their wedding?”
Charlie Wade sighed, “What can we do at this point? What can be saved? Right now, you should be worried about what happens if your mother finds out that Aunt Matilda is getting married! As far as I know, you’ve never told her that Aunt Matilda returned to China. If news of the marriage gets to her, she’ll definitely want to know when Aunt Matilda came back and why. If she discovers that Aunt Matilda was at the University for the Elderly and that you’ve had many interactions, even going to Korea together, your peaceful days will be over!”
