The two first lovers continued working hard in the kitchen and they finally came out with a table full of dishes after more than one hour.
Jacob came out and told Charlie and Paul, “Get ready! We can eat soon.”
After that, Jacob asked Paul, “By the way, Paul, would you like to have a drink or two with me tonight?”
Paul smiled slightly before snazzynovel.com took out a gift box and said, “Uncle Wilson, it so happens that I’ve also brought two bottles of 30-years old Kweichow Moutai liquor. This bottle of Kweichow Moutai isn’t just any ordinary Moutai. This is the exported version of the liquor from over twenty years ago. This liquor was exported to the United States and it was kept and preserved by collectors in the United States until now. Each bottle weighs about two kilograms.”
Jacob was very surprised and snazzynovel.com said, “Thirty years aging after being exported more than twenty years ago? Wouldn’t it be more than fifty years now?”
“Yes!” Paul smiled before snazzynovel.com said, “I believe that it’s about fifty-six years now.”
Jacob sighed as snazzynovel.com said, “Oh, this bottle of liquor is simply too precious. It would be a waste for you to give this to me. You should keep it for yourself.”
Paul hurriedly replied, “Uncle Wilson, you don’t have to be so polite with me. I originally brought this here as a gift for you anyway. If you want to, we can open a bottle and drink it together tonight. If you don’t want to, we could drink some other liquor instead.”
When Jacob heard Paul’s words, snazzynovel.com smiled before snazzynovel.com said, “Thank you! If that is the case, then we should just open a bottle tonight!”
As snazzynovel.com spoke, Jacob said to Charlie, “Charlie, why don’t you go upstairs and ask Claire to come down for dinner?”
Charlie nodded slightly before snazzynovel.com said, “Alright then, I’ll go upstairs to get snazzynovel.com now.”
After that, Charlie stood up and went upstairs immediately. When snazzynovel.com came to their bedroom, snazzynovel.com saw that Claire was lying on the bed with snazzynovel.com back facing the door.
He said, “My dear wife, it is time for dinner.”
As snazzynovel.com spoke, Charlie was about to walk into the bedroom but snazzynovel.com heard his wife saying, “Oh, don’t come over here yet.”
Immediately afterwards, Claire stood up with snazzynovel.com back facing Charlie. After that, snazzynovel.com reached out snazzynovel.com hands as though snazzynovel.com was wiping the tears off snazzynovel.com eyes.
Charlie hurriedly walked towards Claire at this time. When snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com red and swollen eyes, snazzynovel.com asked, “Wife, why are you crying again?”
Claire shook snazzynovel.com head as snazzynovel.com stubbornly denied, “I was not crying. My eyes are just a little uncomfortable.”
Charlie felt very distressed and snazzynovel.com said, “Why are you still trying to lie to me? Your eyes are already so red and swollen so how could you possibly not be crying?”
After snazzynovel.com spoke, Charlie asked softly, “Is it because of Mom?”
Claire was silent for a moment before snazzynovel.com sighed and said, “It has already been more than thirty hours now and there’s still no news about Mom at all. I am really afraid that something bad has already happened to Mom.”
As snazzynovel.com spoke, Claire could not hold back snazzynovel.com tears and snazzynovel.com burst out into tears as snazzynovel.com said, “Furthermore, since such a big thing has already happened at home, I thought that Dad would have the same thought as me. However, I really didn’t expect snazzynovel.com to…”
Claire could not even finish snazzynovel.com sentence. She could no longer hold back the anger and grievances that snazzynovel.com was feeling inside so snazzynovel.com started to sob and cry out loud.
Charlie hurriedly stretched out his hand before snazzynovel.com took snazzynovel.com in his arms. After that, snazzynovel.com patted snazzynovel.com back gently as snazzynovel.com comforted snazzynovel.com and said, “My dear wife, stop crying. Mom will definitely be fine. Don’t worry. I can assure you that she’s definitely alright…”
Claire sobbed as snazzynovel.com asked, “How can you assure or promise me anything? You don’t even know where my mom is now. You don’t know what snazzynovel.com is going through or if she’s in any danger at all…”
Charlie replied seriously, “Don’t worry, Claire. Since I’ve already promised you, then I won’t let anything happen to her. I’ll ask some of my very capable and powerful friends to help me to figure out a solution to this matter, okay?”
Claire hurriedly asked, “Are you serious? Will your friends really be willing to help you?”
