Paul drove home after sending Charlie back to the villa at Thompson First. 6
Charlie walked back to the villa on his own. His father-in-law, Jacob, hurriedly came forward to greet him as he asked, "My good son-in-law, did you manage to see your Aunt Hall after going out with Paul today?” 6
Charlie replied helplessly, "Dad, why would I possibly meet Aunt Hall when I am going out to run some errands with Paul?" 1
Jacob could not help but sigh as he felt very depressed.
He missed Matilda very much these past few days. However, since Elaine was at home, he did not dare to take the risk of meeting up with Matilda. 1
So, at this time, he could not help but feel very anxious and lost.
He asked Charlie again, "Then, did you ask Paul about the current status of your Aunt Hall? How has she been?" 1
Charlie smiled before he replied, "Aunt Hall is doing very well lately. I heard Paul saying that Aunt Hall is also teaching a class at Senior University nowadays. She is not only teaching a class, but she is also learning calligraphy and painting from others. She is living a very good and enriched life."
When Jacob heard this, he could not help but feel a little anxious. "Oh! How could she go to Senior University?"
Charlie asked in surprise, "What is wrong with Senior University? Isn’t that just a university for the elderly and the senior citizens?"
Jacob had a gloomy expression on his face as he said," Don't you know that there are a lot of old men who have no wives at Senior University? They are just a bunch of nasty old men who are not there to learn or enrich themselves! They are simply there to look for a wife and companion!" 2
After he was done speaking, Jacob said nervously, " Your Aunt Hall is so beautiful. Wouldn't all the old men be interested and constantly thinking about her?" 6
Charlie laughed before he said, "Then, can you stop people from thinking about her?"
Jacob sighed as he said, "You're right! This situation is simply too depressing!"
After he was done speaking, Jacob's eyes suddenly lit up as he said, "That's right! I could just attend Senior University too! That way, wouldn't I be able to meet your Aunt Hall, then?" 1
Charlie asked him, "Aren’t you afraid that mom will find out about this?"
"It will be fine.” Jacob earnestly replied, "Don't you know what kind of woman your mother-in-law is?
