The Charismatic Charlie Wade

“What happened?” Charlie asked.

“Well, when we went to Korea for cultural exchanges, we ran into Professor Riley and Aunt Matilda,” Jacob replied indignantly, “Apparently, he’s been stalking her and she’s fallen for him.

Your Aunt Matilda told me all about it.”

“Are you sure they’re together? Have they made an official announcement?” Charlie asked.

“Yes,” Jacob said with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

“Your Aunt Matilda told me that Professor Riley has always meant a lot to her.

When we ran into him, he was already in love with her.”

“That old boy Riley has been stalking her, and I don’t know what went wrong, but she ended up agreeing to be with him,” Jacob added.

Charlie chuckled and said, “Dad, I hate to say it, but I actually think they’re a good match.”

“A good match?” Jacob exclaimed, his anger rising, “What’s so good about them? If you say they’re a good match, then your Aunt Matilda and I are a match made in heaven.”

“I remember when we were in school,” Jacob continued, “Everyone, teachers and students alike, recognized the beauty of your Aunt Matilda.

If it weren’t for Elaine, we would have been married long ago and who knows how many children we would have had by now.”
