Son-In-Law Madness

No sooner had Leandro tried to persuade Braulio than he suffered another slap.

“Where were you just now? Do you know that I had my two front teeth knocked out by that kid?”

Leandro lowered his head and apologized, “I'm sorry to have failed to protect you, Mr. Cousteau.”

With that, Braulio whipped out his phone and took a picture of Donald, who brazenly posed for the picture.

“Your name's Donald Campbell, right? I'll remember you. You're gonna get it from me one of these days.”

After taking the picture, Braulio hobbled out of the restaurant with Leandro's help.

Upon their departure, Donald wiped his hands with a napkin.

“Are you satisfied now? I've gotten rid of another insufferable friend of yours.”

Hannah replied with a grin, “You clearly couldn't help yourself. What has it got anything to do with me?”

“Enough of that. I'll buy you this meal, so we're even now. I still have work to do in the office and need to leave now. Feel free to order more food. I'll pay you back after that.”

Cognizant that she couldn't make him stay, Hannah stared into his eyes and said, “We're not even yet. Remember what you promised me.”

Donald pretended not to hear her as he swiftly slipped away.

Upon leaving the restaurant, he lit up a cigarette to calm himself down inside the car.

Little did he expect a sudden knock on his window.

When he turned to look, Donald almost dropped the cigarette between his fingers.

“Darling, it's really you! As I was parking, I saw a car that looked familiar.”

Standing outside the window was none other than Jennifer.

Despite his panic, Donald desperately maintained his composure. “Darling, what brings you here?”

“I was shopping with my friend.”

It wasn't until Jennifer stepped aside that Donald noticed a stunning-looking girl who was of similar age to Jennifer behind her.

“This is a good friend of mine, Geraldine Harper. Geraldine, this is my husband, Donald. I told you about him before.”

After nodding at Geraldine, Donald whispered to Jennifer, “I never knew you had such a friend.”

Jennifer rolled her eyes at him. “Since when have you ever taken an interest in my friends? It's not a surprise that you know none of them.”

After giving it some thought, Donald recalled that Jennifer would either be at the office or watching dramas at home. It was indeed rare for her to go out and meet her friends.

Even when they got in touch, it was mainly over WhatsApp.

Since he did not have a habit of checking her phone, he naturally didn't know who her friends were.

“By the way, Darling, what are you doing here?”

After a slight hesitation, Donald decided to speak truthfully.

“I met a friend for a meal, but decided to leave early because of work.”

Jennifer subsequently leaned in and sniffed him like a dog.
