Jacob prayed to God, hoping that Elaine would never cback again. She had tormented him for more than 2 decades, he had accomplished the unthinkable because of this, it was tto set him free, s If Elaine never cback, he was certain that he could be with Matilda again and resumed their previous relationship. 4 He even thought that Matilda's son was a quite nice person who was open-minded enough to accept him a s his stepfather, 7 As for Claire, she was a sensible and filial daughter. If her mother was indeed missing, she wouldn't object to him pursuing his true love. After all, he could not live alone for the rest of his life after Elaine disappeared.

His only concern right now was whether Elaine would return.

So he could only pray to God for his wish to ctrue. 5 However, he didn't know that it was not up to God to decide on this, but his son-in-law, Charlie. 7 *** When Charlie arrived at the entrance of Shangri-La, the hotel staff immediately marched forward and opened the door.

He passed the key to the hotel staff who was in charge of the valet parking and said to Jacob, Matilda, and Paul, "Shangri-La is considered a luxury hotel in Aurous Hill and they make the best local cuisines. I hope it meets your taste." Matilda hurriedly said, "Oh, Charlie, thank you very much! I'm not picky when it comes to food, besides, after leaving Aurous Hill for so many years, I long to taste the local dishes!" Charlie chuckled, "We cto the right place then." 7 Then, he turned to Paul and asked, "Paul, I wonder how you feel about Oskian cuisine? Will you get used to it?" Paul chuckled, "Charlie, don't forget that I'm also half Oskian, and to be honest, compared to those fast, good and western food in the States, I prefer Asian food, especially Oskian food." "Oh, by the way, my mom is a great cook! She is the best Oskian chef I've ever seen, her cooking is very delicious and wholesome." 2 Charlie gasped in amazement, "Wow, Auntie, not only are you so beautiful and elegant, but you're also a great cook." Matilda slapped her son's back gently and said, "Don't listen to him, he is just bragging." s Jacob said with a sigh, "When we were in college, you always said that you wanted to cook for me, but we couldn't because we lived on campus. It's been 20 years now, and I haven't tried your cooking yet..." Matilda smiled gently and said earnestly, "Well, I can cook for you if I have a chance, but I have to warn you first, my cooking is not as delicious as Paul said. Don't blme if you are disappointed." 7 Jacob blinked excitedly and said, "Really? When will you be available?" Then, he continued anxiously, "Well, you can cook at my house! What you want to do, just tell me, I'll get the ingredients ready in time! Then you guys can cto my house, you'll cook, I'll help you, and the kids eat!" 5 Matilda said a little awkwardly, "Is it okay? Will Elaine want to see me?" 2

In yesterday's phone call, Jacob only told her that he and Elaine had separated, but he didn't say the specific reason nor did he say that Elaine was missing. Therefore, Matilda assumed that they slept in separate rooms but still under the sroof, hence her reluctance. Firstly, she didn't want to see her, secondly, Elaine was not a kind person, to begin with.

Jacob waved his hands frantically and said indifferently, "Oh, don't you mind, she's not at hnow, God knows when will she be back, I think she will not be hfor a while."

Then, he continued eagerly, "In my opinion, no tlike the present! We'll have our lunch here at Shangri-La, then you check in to your room to rest. Cto my house this evening, we'll cook and have dinne together. I can introduce my daughter to you!" X
