The Amazing son in law Chapter 6630

When Xiao Wu brought up the invitation from the Professor, Jacob felt a loud buzzing in his head, which quickly escalated into a mental explosion.

Feeling guilty, he said to Xiao Wu over the phone, “Okay, okay, I get it. I have nothing else on my plate. Let’s end this call!”

With that, he hurriedly pressed the hang-up button.

Elaine, sitting nearby, asked with curiosity, “Professor? What Professor?”

If Jacob had a stronger sense of composure, he would have simply explained that it was a colleague from the University of the Elderly. Most likely, that would have been the end of the matter.

However, Jacob lacked the mental fortitude to handle pressure. Faced with a situation like this, he would panic and become flustered.

Even though Elaine had asked her question casually, Jacob was already sweating nervously.

As he anxiously glanced at Elaine, he stammered, “No… no one…”

Elaine sensed something was off and frowned. “What did I ask you? Professor Han? Did you just say no? What does that mean? Who is Professor Han? What invitation? What are you up to?”

As she spoke, Elaine noticed the cold sweat trickling down Jacob’s ears and temples. She immediately pressed, “Jacob, why are you acting so nervous? Are you hiding something from me?”

Jacob was in a state of panic, yet he forced himself to reply, “I swear I’m not hiding anything from you… What could I possibly hide?”

Elaine was scrutinizing him closely. Jacob, unable to meet her gaze, focused on the road ahead, pretending to be calm.

Elaine then said, “Jacob, you can’t conceal things just by your expression! You must have done something behind my back!”

With that, she opened the armrest compartment to take a look.

Jacob panicked at the thought of her seeing it. Although he hadn’t even opened the invitation, he knew the names of the bride and groom would be on it. If Elaine spotted the name “Matilda,” it would be game over!

Desperate, he pressed down on the armrest with his elbow, trying to prevent her from accessing it.

However, his behavior only intensified Elaine’s suspicion, making her more determined to uncover the truth.

With gritted teeth, she warned Jacob, “I’m telling you, Jacob, if you know what’s going on, move your arm right now and let me see what’s inside! If you don’t, I won’t let this go!”

Feeling anxious and cornered, Jacob stubbornly held his ground, insisting, “It’s really nothing. Just an invitation from a colleague who’s getting married. What’s so special about that?”

Elaine replied sternly, “If it’s just a wedding invitation, why can’t you let me see it? I want to see it now, so move aside!”

Jacob shook his head vigorously. “Don’t look at it! It’s really just a wedding invitation…”

Frustrated by his resistance, Elaine suddenly leaned over and bit his arm fiercely.

Startled, Jacob instinctively jerked his hand back, causing the car to swerve on the highway.

Terrified, he quickly corrected the steering, bringing the vehicle back into its lane while muttering angrily, “What’s wrong with you?! Don’t you know we’re on a highway? Do you want to get us killed?!”

Ignoring his outburst, Elaine seized the opportunity to open the armrest box and pulled out a bright red invitation.

As she opened it, she mumbled, “So it really is a wedding invitation… Jacob, why are you being so secretive? If someone sends you an invitation, what’s the big deal? Are you having an affair with his wife?! Look at how nervous you are!”

After that, she continued to read the invitation.

Having some life experience, Elaine focused first on the signature. The text of the invitation was the usual polite jargon, detailing the time and place of the wedding—she wasn’t overly concerned about that. What mattered to her was Professor Han’s involvement and why it made Jacob so anxious.

Within moments of opening the invitation, Elaine spotted two names: He Yuanjiang and Matilda!

Matilda?!

As soon as she saw that name, it felt like three daggers were piercing her eyes.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Jacob seized the moment. With a surge of desperation, he lunged for the invitation and snatched it from Elaine’s hands like a snake striking its prey. Without hesitation, he rolled down the driver’s side window and hurled the invitation out.

Traveling at over 100 kilometers per hour on the highway, the invitation vanished into thin air the instant it left his hand.

Jacob hoped that in such a brief moment, Elaine wouldn’t even have time to catch the full details.

Now that he had discarded the invitation, he considered it a closed case.

As Elaine regained her composure from the shocking turn of events, she noticed that the invitation was gone, and with a bemused smile, she said, “Oh, Jacob, you’re quite amusing. It was just an invitation. Isn’t it normal for someone to invite you to a wedding? What do you have to hide from me?”
