Claire barely touched her chopsticks at all during dinner.
She kept picking up her cell phone to try to call Elaine and she kept sending her many text messages but there was no response from her at all. 4
On the other hand, Jacob has a very relaxed and contented look on his face. He felt that it would be great if Elaine had run away from home, just like Hannah did. If that was truly the case, then his life would truly be liberated. 5
Claire was very anxious at this time and she kept saying that she wanted to go to the police station to make a police report. At this time, Jacob said, "Oh, Claire, your mother is already an adult. Perhaps she really has something to do outside? Why are you so worried about her? What if she really intended to run away from home? Are you really going to ask the police officers to drag her home then?" 6
"How can that be possible?" Claire replied earnestly," Mom has already been looking forward to moving into the villa at Thompson First for such a long time. Now that we have finally moved into the villa, it would not b e possible for her to run away from home! You should also understand based on her character that my mom will never leave home at this time! Dad, you have already lived with mom for such a long time. Don't
you understand her character yet?"
Jacob suddenly sank deep into his thoughts.
His daughter's words woke him up.
Who was Elaine?
She was the kind of person who was so vain to the point that it was intolerable, i
She was also the kind of person who had been dreaming of living a luxurious life.
Even if she wanted to run away from home, it was completely impossible for her to leave the house on the day that their family had just moved into the villa at Thompson First. That was not her character at all.
As he thought about this, Jacob could only frown as h e thought to himself. Could Elaine really be in trouble? i
Although Jacob was really disgusted with Elaine, the both of them had already spent so many years living together as a couple. If something were to happen to Elaine, he would also feel bad and a little empty inside. Therefore, Jacob felt that it would be a little inappropriate for him to continue staying at home to drink tea at a time like this.
Jacob sighed before he said, "Alright then. We should finish up our dinner first. After we are done eating, I will go out with you to look for your mom." 6
