The Charismatic Charlie Wade - Season 6 Episode 49

“Class reunion?” Elaine said disdainfully, “You guys are already a bunch of dying old folks, why would you want to have a class reunion? Haven’t you heard, a class reunion is just an excuse for old lovers to go on dates!”

“Oh my God, shut up!” Jacob blurted, “There will only be guys at the reunion, we didn’t invite any of our female classmates.”

“Really?” Elaine frowned in disbelief.

“Yes, honest! You should know best how our class was. There were only a handful of female students in our class, and all of them live overseas right now. So, there will only be us male students at the reunion.”

“No, I don’t believe you! You can’t go!” Elaine shouted. “You must be going to see that old lover of yours! Do you think I don’t know!”

Charlie was stunned. Did his father-in-law have some romantic love story in the past?

“What old lover? It’s just a bunch of male friends!”

Elaine snorted disdainfully. She turned her pouty face to the other side and ignored Jacob.

Jacob anxiously tried again, “Charlie has to go with me anyway. Our teacher is wheelchair-bound now, there is no elevator in the old campus, so we need a few young and strong men to lift him to the classroom on the fifth floor. Just let Charlie be my witness and report everything he sees to you. If there is a female friend present, I’ll face the music!”

Elaine growled, “No, I won’t let you go!”

Jacob was a little annoyed by now, and he burst out, “My old friends and I, we haven’t seen each other for years, how can I be absent?! Moreover, our teacher is eighty-something, this is perhaps the last time I’m going to see him!”

Claire looked at her parents and said, “Mom, just let Dad go. It’s not easy to organize a class reunion at his age, you don’t want him to be a laughingstock because he misses the gathering, do you?”

Elaine glared at her and said, “What do you know? Your dad hooked up with a vixen in their class for a long time. If I hadn’t tackled him with a little trick, your dad would have gotten together with that vixen! You would never exist!”

Charlie found the remarks a little peculiar and strange. It sounded as though Elaine was the boyfriend snatcher here, but why did she act like she was being reasonable?

Jacob blushed in embarrassment and huffed at Elaine, “Just stop, don’t blurt out our embarrassing past to the kids!”

Then, he turned to Claire and said anxiously, “Claire, don’t listen to your mom’s nonsense. She always blabbers nonsense from her mouth just to frame me…”

Claire blushed as well. She didn’t want to know about the love triangles between her parents, so, she said to Elaine, “Mom, just let Dad go to the reunion, and you can go to play mahjong. Wouldn’t that be great?”

Jacob widened his eyes in astonishment and threatened, “Alright, if you don’t let me go to the class reunion, you can’t go play mahjong either! Let’s both stay at home and stare at each other!”

Elaine became outraged and shouted, “Damn it, I’m going to make money at the mahjong game! Summer is going to the United States soon, I must play a few more games with her before she leaves.

Now, I can make at least three to five thousand per game!”

Then, she turned to Charlie and urged anxiously, “Charlie, go with your dad later! Call me immediately if there is a female at the reunion. I’ll tear his face off!”
