The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Jacob did not expect Charlie to say his inner thoughts directly, so he looked extremely embarrassed as he said, "Isn't it because I want to solve the problem peacefully?"

Charlie shook his head and said, "I know. When Aunt Matilda first returned to Oskia, Mom happened to disappear for a period of time. You might not have realized it, but I could see that you really enjoyed the feeling very much during that time. However, you failed to understand that the feeling was only temporary and you cannot regard something that's temporary as eternal."

Charlie then said sincerely, "Dad, I can actually understand Professor Hart's situation. To be honest, I think that it's actually the best choice for Aunt Matilda to be together with him. First of all, both of them are single and widowed. They do not face the psychological burden of destroying the other party's family or marriage, and they also do not need to worry that the other party will rekindle their relationship with their exes or worry that the other party's exes would come and find fault with them."

Having said that, Charlie looked at Jacob and said meaningfully, "Based on Mom's character, even if the two of you divorce, she definitely will not let you off if she finds out that you and Aunt Matilda have rekindled your relationship. She will definitely pester and cause trouble for the two of you unless the two of you leave Aurous Hill and never come back. Mom can never find out where you went to either."

Jacob looked up at the sky and sighed. "Charlie... You're right, Charlie! I'm afraid that Elaine will always be lingering around! I've dreamt of getting rid of her every day for more than twenty years, but this woman is like the devil, and it seems that it's impossible for her to let me go."

Charlie said indifferently, "You need to fight for this kind of thing yourself. You're so afraid, to begin with, so what's the point of saying anything else, then?"

As he spoke, Charlie then added, "I didn't finish my sentence just now. Both Aunt Matilda and Professor Hart came back from the United States, and both of them also graduated from top prestigious universities and are senior intellectuals in the true sense. They both have high social status and belong to the absolute elite class regardless of whether they are in the United States or Oskia. This alone makes them a good match. In contrast, aside from being Aunt Matilda's first love, you're in no way as good as Professor Hart, and you do not have any advantage over him."noveldrama

Jacob was very depressed as he said, "He only studied more than me, right? How else is he better than me?"

Charlie said seriously, "Dad, he has a better career than you do. He is the specially-appointed professor and vice chairman of Aurous University of Finance and Economics. If he is willing to go to Eastcliff, Queenston University would also be in a hurry to invite him to go over. Furthermore, he has better living habits compared to you and is also physically fit. He jogs and exercises every day. He is in his fifties but looks like he is still in his thirties. It just so happens that Aunt Matilda also enjoys jogging and has very good physical fitness. The two of them must have a lot of common topics, so it's the best choice for Aunt Matilda to be with him. I believe that they will be very happy in their later years."

Jacob was extremely depressed as he said, “Charlie, are you here to comfort me

or to give me a hard time? You're speaking as if Matilda was right to give up on me."

Charlie nodded and said seriously, "It's not only right, but it's very right."

Charlie knew very well that once things like feelings had been reduced to pain, they had to be cut off quickly.

It was just like how one's leg should be cut off decisively if there was a small wound on one leg that kept festering repeatedly without healing, otherwise, the whole body would certainly be affected.

Jacob's style of action was very cowardly. He was not only cowardly when he faced Elaine, but he was a cowardly person in general, so how could he heal his own psychological pain?

Therefore, only his son-in-law could do this kind of thing for him.

So, Charlie patted Jacob on the shoulder and comforted him, "Dad, forget it. Just admit defeat. Professor Hart is much better than you in all aspects. Although you're living in a big villa and you're driving a Cullinan, you cannot be compared to Professor Hart at all interms of your own strength. You should be convinced to lose Aunt Matilda to him. If you still feel any unwillingness in your heart, it's a sign that you've overestimated yourself."

"Says who?!" Jacob was extremely uncertain, but he still bit the bullet and said, “I don't think that I'll be any worse off compared to Yolden if I hurry up and make some changes now!"
