At this time, Jacob had already brought Matilda and her son, Paul to walk through the courtyard.
As soon as they met, Claire was really shocked by Matilda’s appearance. She had already heardCharlie saying that Matilda’s temperament and appearance was simply amazing but she really did notexpect it to be so good.
At the same time, Claire could not help but feel a little envious of Matilda.
After all, it was really amazing for a woman to be able to maintain such a good level of hertemperament and appearance when she had already reached the age of fifty or so.
Matilda was also a little surprised when she saw Claire. She really did not expect Jacob and Elaine’sdaughter to turn out to be so beautiful and outstanding.
At this time, Paul, who was standing next to Matilda, was also a little stunned. He was really surprisedat Claire’s beauty and temperament.
Jacob hurriedly introduced them to one another. “Matilda, this is my daughter, Claire.”
After that, he looked at Claire again before he smiled and said, “Claire, this is your father’s oldclassmate, Matilda Mark. You can call her Aunt Matilda.”
Claire was really shocked by Matilda’s beauty and temperament while at the same time, she was evenmore worried about the relationship between her father and Matilda.
Compared to Matilda, her mother really seemed to be a thousand miles away. In addition, therelationship between her father and mother was not stable at all. Now that her mother had such astrong competitor, Claire was afraid that the relationship between her parents would become evenmore fragile.
However, out of politeness, Claire stretched out her hand as she shook Matilda’s hand enthusiastically.After that, she greeted respectfully, “Hello, Aunt Matilda.”
Matilda smiled and sighed before he said sincerely, “Claire, you really look very beautiful!”
Claire replied modestly, “Aunt Matilda, you’re really being too polite. I’m still far behind compared toyou.”
“No, no, no.” Matilda replied seriously, “I wasn’t as beautiful as you are when I was your age.”
After that, Matilda looked at Charlie before she smiled and said, “Charlie, you’re really blessed to beable to marry such a good wife.”novelbin
Charlie nodded and smiled slightly before he said, “You’re right, Aunt Matilda. This is really my goodfortune.”
Matilda smiled before she started to introduce her son. “Claire, this is my son, Paul. He should be oneyear younger than you and it stands to reason that he should be calling you his elder sister.”
Paul hurriedly stretched out his hand to Claire before he said seriously, “Hello, Miss Wilson. I’m Paul.My full name is Paul Smith and I’m glad to meet you.”
Claire hesitated for a moment because she did not know whether she should be shaking hands withPaul. At this time, Matilda hurriedly said, “Son! Claire is a married woman. You should be morecautious when it comes to physical contact with a person from the opposite sex.”
Paul came to his senses and he hurriedly withdrew his hand. After that, he smiled awkwardly as hesaid, “I’m really sorry for my mistake. I acted too rashly.”
Claire nodded slightly and smiled back at him in response. Charlie was really surprised because he feltthat Matilda really had extraordinary manners.
At this time, Jacob hurriedly said, “Matilda, I’ve already bought all the ingredients and seasoningsrelated to those dishes. They’re in the kitchen now. Should we go to the kitchen and start cooking now?The children can have a good chat outside. I’ll come in and give you a hand in the kitchen. What doyou think about that?”
Matilda naturally nodded as she smiled and said, “No problem. Let’s prepare a good meal for thechildren today.”
After that, Matilda told Paul, “Son, you can stay here and have a good chat with Charlie and his wife.You should develop a good relationship with them since you want to develop a long term business inAurous Hill in future. It would be good for everyone’s development in the future if all of you have a goodrelationship with one another.

Paul nodded hurriedly before he said, “Mom, don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Jacob proceeded to lead Matilda to the kitchen with him before he turned around and said, “My dearson-in-law, there’s some good tea on the coffee table. Why don’t you make a cup of tea for Paul to try?”
