This made her run out in surprise and ask," Dad, Charlie, where's Mom?"
Jacob grunted twice and casually said, " Your mother went for a facial with Hannah Queen."
"Huh?!" Claire was dumbfounded as she asked, "Since when did Mom start hanging out with Hannah Queen?"
Jacob laughed and said, "Isn't it because Wendy brought Hannah back the last time? Your mother fought with your grandmother in front of her house. Since then, the two daughters-in-law seem to have resolved two or three decades of conflicts. The both of them started chatting on WhatsApp for a few days, and it seem as though your mother gave Hannah a few tips to teach her how to deal with your grandmother. The both of them have become good friends ever since."
As Jacob spoke of this, he smacked his lips and said, "Tsk... Can you believe that the both of them have become good friends now?"
Claire shook her head helplessly and smiled as she said, "Although it might sound strange, this is also a good thing. Mom usually does not have many friends, and her leg has gotten injured one time after the other, rendering her unable to go out for most of the year. If she can have fun and get along with Hannah now, it can also be considered a way for her to relieve her boredom."
Jacob sighed emotionally and said, "Oh, it could be said that way, but I constantly feel that your grandmother will suffer now that the both of them have become good friends. Your grandmother is already an old woman of about eighty to ninety years old. She has no money or power but now, she will have to deal with the both of them..."
Claire spread out her hands and sighed as she said, "This is not something we can worry about. Grandma also used to be a little too much in the past, so if she has a hard time, we cannot really do anything to help her."
Jacob nodded and said casually, "That's also true..."
After saying that, Jacob took the initiative t o pick up the teapot and refill a cup of tea for Charlie as he said attentively, “My dear son-in-law, tell me a little more about Feng Shui and the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams. It would be best if it's those that I do not need to study for long and can learn all about it now."
