The Amazing son in law Chapter 6608

After that, Matilda turned to Hank and inquired, “What’s your take on this?”

Hank smiled back and replied, “I can’t decide for you, but I think you’re spot on. If you want to invite me, you definitely need to include his family. Otherwise, given his wife’s personality, it could lead to a lot of unnecessary problems.”

After a moment of contemplation, Hank added earnestly, “Matilda, this is something you need to think through yourself. Whatever you choose, I’ll be here to give you my full support—100%.”

Matilda nodded in agreement, saying, “Alright, I’ll check in with Jacob later to see how he feels. I suspect he might be hesitant to stir up any complications. If he decides against coming, then we won’t send him an invitation.”

Hank then asked, “What if he chooses to come?”

Matilda pondered for a moment before smiling, “I believe that’s unlikely. I know Jacob well enough; he’s quite anxious. He probably wouldn’t want Elaine to find out about this. If I let him make up his mind alone, he’ll likely choose not to attend.”

Continuing, Matilda said, “For now, let’s wait for my message to him and then proceed. I don’t plan to invite my old classmates from Aurous Hill. I met them once at a reunion, and they were all about comparisons and showing off. I’d rather not get involved with them. Conversely, the people from the team we went to Korea with are genuinely decent. They mentioned that if we got married, we should definitely invite them to the wedding. We must honor our word.”

“Absolutely,” Hank agreed, nodding. “The invitation list is taking shape. Besides Charlie Wade, we’ll include our colleagues and teammates from the Korea exchange. Make sure to ask Jacob what he thinks.”

Afterward, Hank continued, “Now, let’s discuss what happens after the wedding. I’ll share my thoughts first, and feel free to interrupt me if you disagree.”

Matilda nodded, resting her chin in her hand, and smiled, “I’m all ears. Go ahead.”

With a glimmer of excitement in her eyes, Matilda’s gaze made Hank feel a bit shy. He turned away for a quick sip of ice water before resuming, “What I envision is that right after the wedding, we’ll head to the United States for our honeymoon.”

He looked at Matilda, waiting for her response.

Matilda maintained her thoughtful pose, still smiling, and said cheerfully, “That sounds great! Please, continue.”

Hank nodded and laid out his plan: “Let’s make New York our first stop. It’s the most convenient. Once we’re there, we can reconnect with old colleagues and friends from our early careers. I have several friends on Wall Street I’d like to visit. After catching up with your friends, we can swing by Wall Street to meet mine, then rent a car to head to New Haven since it’s nearby. When we arrive, we can visit your old classmates at Yale. Finally, it would be wonderful to go to Stanford and meet my old friends. If we keep a good pace, we can wrap it up in about six or seven days. Then, we could finish our vacation on a warm island to relax and unwind.”

Curiously, Matilda asked, “Why not start at Stanford? It’s closer to fly from Aurous Hill to the West Coast. Wouldn’t it save us time to go to Stanford first, then New York, and finally New Haven?”

Hank looked at Matilda with affection and replied with a smile, “When I take my wife back to the U.S., our first destination should be where you grew up. I see it as accompanying you back home.”

Understanding Hank’s intentions, Matilda felt a wave of warmth. His thoughtfulness was evident not just in major life decisions, but in every little detail of their lives together.

With a smile, she said, “From now on, you’ll lead the way. I trust your judgment and will follow your lead.”

Then, she asked, “You mentioned spending the rest of the holiday somewhere warm. Do you have any ideas for a suitable island?”

Hank replied, “Since we’re heading to the U.S. first, we should pick an island that’s between the U.S. and China. I initially considered the Maldives, but from San Francisco, it’s quite a trek—at least 24 hours of flying. How about Palau? It’s closer to China, which could save us a lot of travel time. What do you think?”

Matilda beamed and said, “I agree! You’re the head of the family, so if you think Palau is a good choice, go ahead and book the tickets. I’ll start picking out some nice swimsuits tomorrow!”
