”No.” Charlie pretended to be surprised as snazzynovel.com asked, “Why? What’s wrong? Is Mom not back home yet?”
“No.” Claire replied, “I thought that snazzynovel.com was going out with snazzynovel.com friend. However, one of snazzynovel.com friends just called me earlier and told me that they have not been able to contact my mother ever since the afternoon. They kept waiting for snazzynovel.com to confirm whether they would be having dinner together, but they could not find snazzynovel.com at all. I also asked dad about it, but snazzynovel.com told me that snazzynovel.com did not know where snazzynovel.com was. That’s why I decided to ask you instead.”
Charlie replied indifferently, “I really do not know where your mother is. She asked me for some money in the afternoon, saying that snazzynovel.com wanted to go out for dinner with snazzynovel.com friends. However, since dad is in charge of our family’s money now, I told snazzynovel.com that I had to ask for dad’s consent first. I did not give your mother any money because your dad did not consent to this matter. I think your mother was a little angry.”
Claire nodded thoughtfully before snazzynovel.com said, “That is a little weird. She is not at home, and snazzynovel.com did not meet up with any of snazzynovel.com friends at all. So, where could snazzynovel.com possibly be now?”
Charlie shrugged before snazzynovel.com said, “Perhaps snazzynovel.com went out to play mahjong instead?”
Claire replied, “But why would snazzynovel.com turn off snazzynovel.com cell phone, then? No one can contact snazzynovel.com at all. She has never done anything like this before.”
“Perhaps snazzynovel.com cell phone has already run out of battery?” Charlie replied. “Don’t worry. Mom is already an adult. She should be able to take care of herself.”
Claire sighed before snazzynovel.com said, “Although snazzynovel.com is an adult, snazzynovel.com is always acting and behaving like a child. I am really afraid that snazzynovel.com is causing trouble somewhere now.”
Loreen asked in surprise, “You can’t find auntie anywhere?”
“Yes.” Claire replied anxiously, “I cannot get through snazzynovel.com cell phone at all. Moreover, it seems as though no one has seen snazzynovel.com at all today.”
At this time, Jacob poked his head into the kitchen and asked in surprise, “Why are all of you gathering in the kitchen as soon as you are home? I was just thinking of asking you to have some tea with me.”
Claire asked, “Dad, did Mom contact you at all? Why isn’t snazzynovel.com home when it is already so late at night?”
Jacob snorted coldly when Claire asked snazzynovel.com about Elaine. After that, snazzynovel.com replied angrily, “Who knows? Just let snazzynovel.com be. I bet snazzynovel.com is outside creating more trouble for all of us.”
Ever since Jacob found out that Elaine had lost all of the family’s money, Jacob could no longer hide his dissatisfaction with Elaine.
Over the past few days, whenever snazzynovel.com saw Elaine, snazzynovel.com would suddenly think of the fact that snazzynovel.com had lost all of their family’s money. Therefore, snazzynovel.com really wanted Elaine to be out of the house so that snazzynovel.com did not have to look at her.
Claire sighed helplessly before snazzynovel.com said, “Dad, I know that mom did something wrong, but snazzynovel.com has already apologized for snazzynovel.com mistake. She already knows that what snazzynovel.com did was wrong. So, please do not be angry with snazzynovel.com anymore. What if mom decides to run away from home because you are treating snazzynovel.com like this?”
“Run away from home?” Jacob sneered before snazzynovel.com said disdainfully, “If snazzynovel.com really ran away from home, I would go to the temple to burn some incense and pray to the gods tonight. In fact, it would be best if snazzynovel.com would just completely disappear from the face of this world, just like Hannah did! I would really feel very relieved and liberated then!”
Claire could not help but feel very helpless when snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com father’s words. She could not understand how the relationship between snazzynovel.com parents could end up this badly.
After a moment of silence, snazzynovel.com said, “Dad, no matter how bad mom is, both of you have already been together for more than twenty years now. Can’t you just forget everything that has already happened and forgive one another instead?”
Jacob waved his hand before snazzynovel.com said, “Forgive her? That will never happen! I will never forgive snazzynovel.com in this lifetime!”
After snazzynovel.com was done talking, Jacob placed his hands behind snazzynovel.com before slowly walking out of the kitchen.
Claire could only sigh before snazzynovel.com said, “Charlie, don’t you know a lot of people in Aurous Hill? Don Albert seems to have a very good relationship with you. Can you ask snazzynovel.com to do you a favor and help us ask around and see if anyone has seen my mom?”
Charlie replied, “My dear wife, even children would come home late sometimes after going out to play. Mom has only gone out for one afternoon. Why are you so worried? She used to play mahjong for an even longer period of time in the past! If snazzynovel.com is really playing mahjong at snazzynovel.com friend’s place, we might not be able to find snazzynovel.com even if we turn the whole Aurous Hill upside down!”
Claire pursed snazzynovel.com lips tightly together before snazzynovel.com said, “Alright then, let’s wait for a short while. If mom is not back by ten o’clock at night, I will call the police!”
“Call the police?” Charlie replied awkwardly, “Do you really need to do that? The police officers must already be very busy. I feel that we should not be bothering them with something as mediocre as this.”
“How can I just let it be?” Claire replied seriously, “We have not even been able to find aunt after snazzynovel.com disappeared. What if the same thing happens to my mother too? If I do not see or hear from my mom at ten o’clock tonight, I want you to accompany me to the police station!”
