The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

After hearing Jacob's words, Charlie could not help but ask in surprise, "How did Professor Hart get together with Aunt Matilda? When did this happen?"

Jacob said indignantly, "Didn't it happen during the cultural exchange to Korea this time? The two of them somehow ended up together for some reason!"

Charlie asked him, "Are you sure they are together? Have they made an official announcement?"

"Yes..." Jacob's eyes were red and swollen, and he said in distress, "Matilda spoke to me about this matter before. She said that Professor Hart had always been interested in her, and it was not just for a day or two. In fact, he had always been interested in her since we ran into him that time."

After saying that, Jacob then added, "Professor Hart had always been stalking Matilda, and I don't know what's wrong with Matilda that she actually agreed to be together with him."

Charlie laughed and said, "Dad, I'm going to say something that you won't like to hear. I actually think that the two of them are a good match."

"A good match?!" Jacob was enraged when he heard this and asked angrily, "What's so good about them?! If you're talking about a good match, Matilda and I used to be a match made in heaven. Back then when the two of us were dating in school, all the teachers and students recognized us as the perfect couple. If it weren't for Elaine, the both of us would have been married a long time ago, and we would have already had many children then.”

With that said, Jacob then said indignantly, "I really didn't expect that Matilda would move on with someone else so quickly. Could it be that the relationship that we've had for so many years is no better than her relationship with Professor Hart?"

When Charlie heard Jacob's words, he said seriously, "Dad, what you're saying is very irresponsible."

Jacob raised his brows, glared at Charlie, and asked, "How am I being irresponsible? Did I say something wrong?"

Charlie asked him, "You've always said that you and Aunt Matilda were a perfect match and that you're a match made in heaven, but didn't you marry Mom in the end?"noveldrama

Jacob said angrily, "Isn't it all because Elaine set me up? If it wasn't for her, would Matilda have left me, then?"

Charlie shook his head and said lightly, "Let's not mention the things from the past. Instead, let's talk about what happened during the period after Aunt Matilda came back to Oskia. I could see that Aunt Matilda still had strong feelings for you when she just returned to Oskia. She also gave you a chance, but you did not have the courage, and you did not do anything to seize the opportunity at all. She cannot wait for you all her life. In this case, if she meets someone who's more suited for her, she will definitely choose the latter, then. After all, if she chooses the former, she won't know how long she would have to wait. She may even have to wait for a lifetime without any results."

When Jacob Heard this, he hesitated and said with a guilty conscience, "Aren't I also looking for a suitable I time to divorce your mother-in-law? You should also know her character. I have to keep this matter a secret and wait for the perfect opportunity instead of bringing it up to her directly!"

Charlie snorted and said, “Dad, do you even believe whatever you're saying yourself?"

Jacob argued strongly, "That's... That's really what I think!"

Charlie said directly, "Dad, I understand you very well, and I also know what you're thinking about. You don't dare to divorce Mom, so you're simply waiting for a good opportunity to come out of nowhere. It'd be best if Mom suddenly disappeared or if she did not want to be with you anymore and took the initiative to ask you for a divorce so that you can get rid of this marriage logically without suffering, right?"
