The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1444

Charlie and Claire were still in the car, and they were still some distance away from the group of people. So, they could not hear exactly what they were talking about.

However, by the looks of it, it was obvious that Matilda must have asked her son, Paul, to help her prepare a gift for Jacob in exchange.

Claire felt even more depressed when she saw both of them exchanging gifts with one another. "Just look at Dad and Aunt Hall! Both of them are obviously acting more than just ordinary friends. They are more like a middle-aged and elderly couple in love!" 7

Charlie nodded gently.

He had already noticed a long time ago that both of them had a deep affection for each other. Matilda had even given Paul the middle name 'Jamal'. This proved that she had never once forgotten about Jacob throughout all this time. 6

As for Jacob, there was nothing else that needed to be said. After being oppressed by Elaine for so many years, he had already been missing and yearning for Matilda for a long time now.

If Charlie had allowed Elaine to evaporate from the face of this world after she had stolen his bank card, Jacob would have already reunited with Matilda and

continued their relationship by now. 4

At this time, Claire could not stand it anymore, and she told Charlie, "Why don't you press the horn twice t o remind Dad that you are already here? Otherwise, he will definitely continue chatting for another half an hour." 6

Charlie nodded before he pressed on the car horn.

When Jacob turned around and looked in their direction, he recognized Claire's car immediately. He thought that it was Charlie who had come to pick him up. He waved in the direction of the car with a smile o n his face. After that, he looked at Matilda before he told her reluctantly, "Oh, Matilda, my son-in-law is here to pick me up. I will go back first, then." s

Matilda smiled before she said softly, "Let me know when you get home safely so I do not worry about you."

"Okay," Jacob replied as he smiled contentedly. 4

Claire took advantage of this time when Jacob was facing Matilda as he was speaking to her before she said to Charlie, "My dad probably does not even know that I am also here. I will go and sit in the backseat, then."

Charlie listened to him talk about Matilda and become so emotional as he sighed. However, Jacob did not know that his daughter, Claire, was sitting in the backseat of the car!

As he thought about this, Charlie hurriedly winked at Jacob to indicate to him that there was someone else sitting in the back seat.

Alas, Jacob was already a little tipsy and dizzy after drinking. So, how could he possibly be sensitive to Charlie’s hint? As he urged Charlie to drive, he placed the gift bag on his lap and said joyously, "Your Aunt Hall secretly asked Paul to buy me a gift. Look, this is i t! Make sure you drive steadily. I will open it to see what it is."

Charlie was helpless, and he had no choice but to say, " Okay, Dad. I will try my best to drive more steadily. However, you should be careful too!"

As he spoke, Charlie tried to give Jacob a hint with his eyes to remind him to be careful about the person seated behind him. 7

Jacob obviously did not know what Charlie meant. As he was unpacking the gift, he said seriously, "This is a gift from your Aunt Hall. Of course I will be very careful. I cannot destroy this gift even if I were to injure myself!"
