Son-In-Law Madness

Donald tapped the tip of Jennifer's nose and chuckled. “Who knew Pietro was so weak? I can't believe he passed out from just a soak in the hot spring. Well, I guess it's an eye-opening experience.”

Diego rubbed his hands and said, “I've been operating this hot spring for dozens of years, and I've seen guests passing out in the pools after soaking for too long almost every month. It's normal. Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Diego Baxter, the owner of the hot spring and Pietro's friend. Pietro told me to give the two of you a warm welcome. You haven't gotten the chance to eat yet, have you? No worries. We've prepared a luxurious lunch for the two of you! Would you like to dine now?”

A soak in the hot spring would make anyone's stomach rumble.

Jennifer had been fine, but Diego's reminder made her rub her stomach and realize that she was indeed a little hungry.

“Won't it seem bad if we have our lunch while Pietro's with the doctor?”

Diego waved his hand dismissively and smiled. “I did say it's common for patrons to pass out in the pool. Pietro's a healthy man, so please go ahead and dine first. He might be alive and kicking in half an hour's time.” He handed them two lunch coupons and pointed at the restaurant far away. “Here are the luxurious lunch coupons for our restaurant. As long as you show these coupons, someone will lead you to your table.”



Jennifer could not bring herself to reject Diego's enthusiastic goodwill, so she took the coupons before towing Donald toward the restaurant.

Jennifer was not a very materialistic young woman.

Even though she was capable of paying for the supposedly luxurious lunch, she was still happy about getting a free meal.

“Darling, there's something amiss about Diego.”

Jennifer, who was cheering in her mind, froze when she heard him. “Something's amiss? What's amiss? Are you saying that there's something wrong with these coupons he gave us?”

“Not the coupons, but the person. Anyway, just do as I say when we get to the restaurant. It's best not to touch any of the food there.”

Jennifer cast Donald a confused look. Aren't we supposed to eat at the restaurant?

Despite her bemusement, she nodded in agreement to his words because she trusted him.

When the two of them pushed open the glass doors to enter the restaurant, their attention was caught by the lavish decorations and myriad of food.



No wonder the coupons were for a luxurious lunch. Even though we haven't tried the food, the restaurant already looks on par with a five-star hotel restaurant.

Hardy Wolk, the server, came over and greeted them with a smile, “Welcome. Are you here for lunch?”

When Jennifer handed her coupons to Hardy, a glint flashed past Hardy's eyes as realization struck him.
