"Yes!" Jacob replied excitedly, "The main point is that her husband is already dead! Hahaha! Don't you think that god is helping me too?"
Charlie nodded slightly before he said, "But dad, mom i s not dead..." 6
The expression on Jacob’s face changed before he said embarrassingly, "Don’t get me wrong. I am not cursing or hoping for her to be dead!" 1
As he spoke, Jacob sighed before he said, "Don't you think that it would be great if Elaine really eloped with another man, just like Hannah did?"
Charlie shook his head helplessly. He was afraid that Jacob’s heart had already been fully occupied by Matilda who was about to return to Oskia soon. All the feelings that Jacob had left for Elaine had already completely disappeared.
Charlie could only sigh as he said. "If Claire can accept mom’s disappearance as an elopement with someone else, then that would be perfect." 5
If Claire had the same attitude as Jacob did, then Charlie would just let Elaine disappear from the face o f this world. 1
For someone like Elaine, he was already doing her a favor if she had food and drinks and a roof over her head. Perhaps he should just send her to the same
coal mine as Hannah so that she could dig for coal for the rest of her life too. i
Hannah and her group of friends probably hated Elaine to death! If Elaine was really sent to the coal mine, then she would definitely have to suffer and endure being beaten up a dozen times a day! 2

Jacob was in a very good mood at this time. He continued eating more barbequed meat and he continued drinking more beer by himself. He was so happy that he kept toasting and refilling Charlie's cup so that he would accompany him to drink with him. However, Charlie would always pour the glass of beer away whenever his father-in-law was not looking or paying any attention to him. After all, tonight was the first night that he would be sharing the same bed as Claire. He was still hoping that he would be able to consummate his marriage with Claire tonight. If he reeked of alcohol if he drank too much, he was afraid that it would only end up to be very disappointing, s
When Jacob was done eating and drinking, it was already way past ten o’clock at night. At this time, Claire called Charlie to ask him about the situation. Charlie replied, "We did not find your mom and there are no traces of her whereabouts at all. I guess your mom did not come out to play mahjong after all. What about you?" 4
Claire replied anxiously, "I have also contacted some 0 f my mother’s friends but none of them heard from her at all. I have no clues about her whereabouts at all." 2
Charlie replied, "Why don't you stop looking for a needle in a haystack tonight? We should go home and wait patiently. Since you have already made a police report, I believe the police officers would also be paying attention to this matter. What do you think?"
"Well..." Claire sighed before she said, "I guess that would be the best option then. Loreen and I will go back home now. You should also head home with
