Pollard was really touched and gratified in his heart when he heard what his daughter said.
But with so many people around him, he had to say vaguely: “If you have this heart, Dad will be very satisfied. As for my affairs with this Auntie of yours, let it go.”
Melba blurted out: “Then how do you go with the flow? Let’s go with the flow? Such an excellent aunt, you still go with the flow? For this Auntie, I don’t know how many suitors are behind. You must work hard to succeed!”
Pollard said embarrassingly: “This…this…we talk at home, and talk at home only!”
Charlie listened on the sidelines, feeling a little bit in his heart.
“Looking at it this way, what is the chance of success for his father-in-law?”
“Uncle has been crushed on all sides so that there are no root hairs left. The only advantage may be the first love with Auntie.”
“However, father-in-law was as timid as a mouse, he didn’t dare to pursue Auntie with integrity, and he didn’t dare to divorce his wife directly. Later, even when he met with her, he was afraid of wolves and tigers.
I have to say that he did. He is timid and fearful, and he hasn’t had enough responsibility yet. During the time when Auntie returned to China, she wanted to be disappointed in him too, right?”
Thinking of this, Charlie couldn’t help but look at Pollard beside him.
“I have to say that Uncle is indeed a rare good man. I won’t say it with high education, high self-cultivation, and high income. The key is that he is more energetic than his father-in-law, and Uncle is also widowed, so he can be upright at any time. He’s with Auntie, and he can even register for marriage directly. These are far beyond comparison with the old man…”
For Charlie, let him stand in an absolutely objective position, and he is also more optimistic about Meiqing and Pollard, two high-level intellectuals who have broken away from the low-level tastes, coming together can be said to be a perfect match.
As for his father-in-law…
To be honest, Charlie felt that he was not worthy of Meiqing at all.
Perhaps, when the two were in their first love, they stood at the same starting point.
However, over the past two to three decades, Meiqing has been going up, but he has been going down.
Up to now, the two of them have been separated by a thousand miles.
In this case, even if they are really together, I am afraid it will not last long.
