Chapter 785 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Jeo fetched another glass and poured about half a glass of of cider, “Farley is turning eighteen soon. Let’s have a bit of this fruity booze.” Farley accepted with joy, “Thanks dad” Pandora, looking at them with a hint of disdain, grabbed the serving tongs and picked up more food into Steven’s bowl, “Steven, you’ve worked hard today. Eat up.” Steven broke into a big smile, “Thanks.” His eyes eagerly sought Hannah, but she was avoiding his gaze. That night, she hadn’t looked at him directly once, making him feel invisible. Unable to earn Hannah’s approval, he could only try to win over Jeo and Pandora, “I’ll propose another toast to you two. Thank you for taking me in, so I’m not homeless on Christmas’ Eve.”
• He painted himself to be so pitiful. Jeo, being a soft-hearted person, fell for his act and joined him in the drinks.e2 After a few rounds, Jeo was growing fond of Steven. He patted Steven on the shoulder, “Bro, I like you. Tonight, let’s keep drinking until we’re drunk.” It was not good that his father-in-law, whom he had tried so hard to please, suddenly called himself bro. Steven felt a shiver down his spine, “I’m your son-in-law, I can’t possibly be your buddy.” Jeo, “Son? I don’t have a son as old as you. We get along so well. From now on you call me big brother.” Steven was speechless. He didn’t want such a big brother. Marrying the big brother’s daughter would seem a bit unethical.
• Pandora, looking at her husband who was making a spectacle of himself, rolled her eyes to the heavens, “Jeo, can you stop embarrassing me?” Jeo, “Wifey, let me introduce you to this handsome young man, my new sworn brother. His name is…” Jeo scratched his head, pondering for a moment but failing to remember Steven’s name, “Buddy, what’s your name again?” Steven, “You are my father-in-law. My name is Steven.” Jeo, “Stop calling me dad, or I’ll pretend I don’t know you.” Farley glanced at his dad, then at his mom, “Mom, since when did dad’s tolerance for alcohol become so low?” If he remembered correctly, his dad was known far and wide for being able to hold his liquor. Many were intimidated at the thought of drinking with Jeo.
