The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 864

Although Claire knew that it was most probably Dad’s idea, she couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

Charlie quickly asked, “Dear, where are you going later?”

Claire answered, “I’m going to meet mom’s friends and also the beauty salons that they often visited for
their facial and spa.”

Jacob hurried and said, “Oh, Claire, I won’t go anywhere today. I’ve invited my friend over for dinner
tonight. She wants to cook for us tonight, so I need to get the ingredients ready and clean up our
house.”

Claire asked skeptically, “Dad, didn’t you already have lunch with your friend just now? Why do you
want to see her again tonight?”

Jacob cleared his throat and explained, “Lunch is lunch, and we ate at a restaurant. They came all the
way from the States, it’s our courtesy to invite them over to our place and have a home-cooked meal
together. This is a decent way to entertain your friends!”

Claire exclaimed in dismay, “Dad, even if you want to entertain your friend, can you please observe the
situation first? Mom is missing, how could you still be in the mood to invite your friend to our house?
Why can’t you wait for mom to come home before you organize the dinner thing? Mom is also your
collegemate, wouldn’t it be better for the three of you to meet?”

‘Better my ass!’ Jacob cursed inside him, ‘It is because your mom is missing that I have the courage
and the mood to invite my friend over for dinner! Otherwise, if your mom is around, the dinner will
happen over my dead body!’

Of course, he couldn’t say any of this to his daughter, so he waved his hand hurriedly and said, “You
don’t understand. She was in the States for over two decades, now that she’s back, I have to do my



best to make her feel welcome, and we must do it on the day they come back to have a sense of
ceremony! What’s the purpose of killing the fatted calf a few days after they arrive? They will think that
I’m lacking common sense in this.”

Then, he added, “Besides, she didn’t come back alone, she is with her son. Her son is about the same
age as you and Charlie, he is a lawyer who runs a well-known law firm. You young people should
mingle together, maybe you’ll gain great benefits in the future! It’s such a rare and precious chance!
Don’t you think?”

Claire huffed in dismay, “No, I don’t think it is so rare! I don’t want to meet your friend and her son, I just
want to find mom and bring her home as soon as possible.”

Jacob chided, “Why are you so immature? It’s just dinner! Do you not want to eat dinner if you can’t
find your mom? I think you’re intentionally opposing me!”

“No, I’m not!” Claire yelled, frustrated, “I’m just not in the mood to meet and socialize with strangers at
this moment.”

Jacob was agitated as well as he exclaimed, “She is my old friend! You can’t say such things even for
my sake!”

Actually, there was something that Jacob wanted to say but didn’t dare to say it which was, ‘If your
mom doesn’t come back, this friend of mine will probably become your stepmother! Her son will
probably be your stepbrother! It’s good for you guys to know each other now!’

Charlie persuaded to ease the mood, “Yes, dear, Aunt Matilda is dad’s old collegemate, it is not wrong
for him to want to make his friend feel welcome. As children, we must help him in any way we can, we
can’t shame him, can we?”



Then, he quickly added, “How about this? Aunt Matilda will be our chef for tonight, I don’t have to make
dinner anyway, so we’ll go out and look for mom, let dad manage his friend, the ingredients for dinner,
and whatever he wants to do. Aunt Matilda will come later to cook, so we’ll come back for dinner
directly after searching for mom. We can go out again for our search mission after dinner. Then, it won’t
take up the time to look for mom, don’t you think?”

Claire also felt that she was being rather intrusive and didn’t know how to ease the mood. Thankfully
for Charlie to extinguish the fire, she nodded and said, “Okay, let’s do as you say then.”

Jacob let out a sigh of relief and gave Charlie a grateful look…
