Charlie replied with a hum, went back into the room t o change his clothes, and then came out to the garage. Jacob was already eagerly waiting in the passenger seat.
Charlie got into the car and asked him, "Father, are you really going to have dinner with Mr. Bay tonight?"
Jacob waved his hand. "No. I have no intentions to dine with him. That guy has done nothing but constantly shower me with flattery, trying hard to suck up to me. I'm bored of it and I am too lazy to entertain him."
Charlie then asked curiously, "Then, what are you up t o now?"
Jacob hurriedly said, "Just now, Aunt Matilda informed me via WhatsApp that she seemed to have a fever. Just so happens that Paul has gone on a business trip again, and your Aunt Matilda is home alone with no one taking care of her. I was just thinking of buying some medicine and food and sending it to her."
Charlie was taken aback, and he immediately asked," Are you going to Aunt Matilda's house?" "Yes." Jacob nodded and blurted out, "Can you please
quickly send me there, and then we will each go our own way."
Charlie didn't think too much about it, so he nodded his head and replied, "Where is Aunt Matilda's house?
I will take you there first.”
Jacob immediately handed his phone to Charlie and said, “Here, this is the location. Melon Villa District." 3
Charlie glanced at it. This location was in the same direction as Jasmine's house, and it was not too far away. So, he started the car and drove out of the house with Jacob.
On the way, Jacob directed Charlie to the drugstore to buy some fever medicine before directing him to drive to the front door of an authentic local delicacy restaurant. 2
As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, Jacob hurriedly said, "Charlie, wait for me i n the car!”
After saying that, he hastily opened the door.
