As he spoke, Yolden said jokingly, "By the way, Mr. Wilson, you look like you should be about fifty years old, right?"
"Yes. I am fifty years old." Jacob replied as he nodded.
Yolden smiled before he said, "In that case, you cannot refer to me as a young man anymore. I am a few years older than you. I am fifty-five years old this year."
"What?!" Jacob asked as he was dumbfounded. "You are fifty-five years old this year?!"
"Yes." Yolden smiled as he said, "I just celebrated my 55th birthday in January this year."
The expression on Jacob’s face suddenly became a little ugly.
It was not out of anger, but it was mainly due to Jacob's inferiority complex. 5
Jacob had initially thought that Yolden should be around forty-five years old. However, he really would not have expected that this guy would actually be five years older than him!
At this time, Yolden looked at Matilda before he asked her, "By the way, Matilda, since Mr. Wilson has to go first because he is in a rush, what about you? Are you i n a hurry to go back too? If you are not in a hurry to
leave, perhaps the both of us can continue jogging for a little longer?" 4
Matilda had not run to her satisfaction yet, and she felt as though she was still bursting with energy and strength. When she heard Yolden’s proposal at this time, she agreed without any hesitation at all as she smiled and said, “Okay, then! I did not run enough just now, so we can continue jogging for a while longer."
After that, she looked at Jacob and Charlie before she smiled and said, "Jacob, Charlie, in that case, I will not be going back with you anymore. Charlie, make sure that you drive safely on the road.”
