The Amazing son in law Chapter 6606
She will undoubtedly come to the community where you live. You might find yourself swearing day and night, even climbing to the rooftop of the building you share with Aunt Matilda, pretending to jump. This could draw a crowd from the entire neighborhood, including the fire department, police, and TV crews. You seem to have forgotten that she was home with everyone before this chaos started. Are people in the neighborhood really swearing and threatening to show up at someone’s house with a knife, claiming they might commit suicide by smearing blood along the door cracks? If that’s the case, why not just risk it all?
When Jacob heard this, his complexion paled, and he trembled with fear.
Charlie Wade continued, “Moreover, with the rise of short videos, many people, including those who are blind to consequences, are quick to follow trends and stoke the flames online. You could end up being targeted by everyone on the internet. Imagine being recognized anywhere across the country, let alone in Aurous Hill. If you’re not in Aurous Hill, she won’t give up until she completely ruins you. By then, both you and Aunt Matilda will find it impossible to lead a normal life.”
Jacob felt a wave of despair wash over him. Charlie Wade’s vivid descriptions painted a horrific picture in his mind, making him feel as though he were living it himself.
Suddenly, he let out a sigh of relief, reflecting, “Honestly, I was just terrified that she might take her own life if I left her, which is why I hesitated to break up and file for divorce…”
What Charlie Wade said wasn’t just an exaggeration.
Elaine’s behavior is unpredictable; she oscillates between being strong and weak. At her strongest, she can dominate Aunt Cynthia Wade, striking her down and embodying the spirit of Bedford Mountain. Yet, in her moments of weakness, she can be easily overpowered by Mr. Willson, suffering brutal consequences alongside Wendy, unable to even find peace in prison.
However, when it comes to Matilda, she transforms into a fierce force, disregarding her own safety and seeking destruction.
If Jacob had found the courage to make a decisive move, he would have figured out a way to protect himself and Matilda from Elaine’s chaos.
Unfortunately, Jacob missed his chance when Matilda extended it to him.
Now, Jacob’s best option is to come to terms with the fact that a reunion with Matilda is impossible. Once he accepts this, he will likely feel a sense of relief.
Typically timid and cautious, Jacob found himself suddenly awakened by Charlie Wade’s words.
He sighed again, contemplating, “There are times in life when things just don’t align. I couldn’t be with your Aunt Matilda over thirty years ago, so it’s understandable that I can’t now. All I can do is hope Elaine doesn’t find out about my feelings, and if she does, that she won’t stir up trouble. If she shows up at the Calligraphy and Painting Association causing chaos, I, as vice president, would be utterly embarrassed!”
Charlie Wade nodded, smiling reassuringly. “Don’t worry, Claire will be back soon. If she does find out, Claire and I will talk to her. It should blow over quickly.”
He then added, “But Dad, you need to be careful. Keep your distance from Aunt Matilda and limit your interactions with her. If Aunt Matilda ends up marrying Professor He, it won’t stop your mother from thinking you still have feelings for her and that you’re emotionally cheating. That could lead to some uncomfortable moments.”
Without hesitation, Jacob replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t go near the University for the Elderly!”
He crossed his arms, looking annoyed. “Honestly, I didn’t plan to go because I simply didn’t want to. I won’t be excited to see Aunt Matilda when I do.”
Seeing that Jacob had genuinely moved on, Charlie Wade felt a sense of relief wash over him.
He didn’t want to witness Jacob moping around or longing for Matilda and turning into a nuisance for his own couple’s happiness.
The ideal solution would be for them to live their lives without interfering with each other. Jacob could continue his work at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, allowing him to relax without the fear of drama erupting in his life.
Just then, Jacob, feeling anxious, asked Charlie Wade, “Good son-in-law, what do you think the chances are that your mother will find out about all this?”
Charlie Wade replied lightly, “According to Murphy’s law, bad things tend to come to light eventually.”
He continued, “This situation is like a ticking time bomb. The key is to reduce the potential damage when it goes off. So remember what I just told you. If this information gets out, do everything you can to minimize the fallout.”
Charlie Wade also hoped Elaine wouldn’t cause a scene, as that would embarrass both him and Claire.
Jacob nodded earnestly, “Good son-in-law, I’ll follow your advice!”
