Samuel looked at James pitifully, hoping that he could comfort him. At this time, even if James just nodded slightly, he might feel much better.
James looked at Samuel for a long while. He frowned, and then... shook his head slowly, "I don't have a mother-in-law and a father-in-law, so, I don't know."
Samuel felt a deep sense of frustration. He knew it was impossible for him to get comfort from James.
"Moreover, even if I have a mother-in-law and a father- in- law, I might not have the same problem."
Samuel looked up powerlessly. Looking at James, who didn't realize that his words had driven him crazy, he felt so disconsolate, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his heart. But he couldn't say a word to complain.
"Why don't you speak?" James had almost done everything he had to do, so he was in a good mood and asked Samuel patiently.
Samuel shook his head, "Nothing." If he continued to talk about it, he would suffer
another blow. In fact, even if there was no one he could talk to, couldn't he talk to air? Why did he have to talk to James?
"Judging from your look, I don't think it's the end of your story. Say it quickly! What happened later?"
Samuel tried to suppress his bitter feeling, but he couldn't help saying, "Mr. Lu, do you have to do this? Can't you really see my vexation and helplessness? Why are you doing this?" If it was about something else, he would tolerate it, but this was about his marriage! James not only didn't listen to him carefully and advice him, but also...
Humph, at this time, Samuel was not afraid of James. James needed to go back and accompany Elizabeth, and he couldn't run the company without Samuel, so Samuel decided to speak boldly!
James shivered and looked at Samuel in disgust, "What are you doing? Why do you speak in such a strange and coy way? I'm getting goosebumps all over. What did I do to you? You look like an unmarried young lady who has been bullied by me." "Forget it. I'm not going to argue with you. Tell me about it, and I'll think of a way to help you."
After a while, being "threatened" and "pleased" by James, Samuel said, "I don't know if there's anything wrong with the eyes of her father, but since the first time I met him, he has been disliking me."
Samuel got angry just now, so Jame did not say anything to mock him again, but thought in heart, "You are not extremely handsome, and you're about to marry his daughter! How could he like you? Don't you know that daughters were the lovers of their fathers in their last lives? You idiot!"
"When we discussed my marriage last time, my father- in- law said he didn't want my betrothal gift, but..." Samuel looked desperate, "He said that I could Callie, but I had to have a fight with him first. If I win, he will agree."
James raised his eyebrows, "Did he make such a weird request?"
"Yeah! Do you think I am making up a story?"
"Well..." James thought very "seriously" for a while, "Since he made such a request, as his junior and future son- in- law, you should please him. If he wants to fight, just fight with him. He's an elder. You can throw the game. As long as you make him happy, things will be easy." What a simple matter! Why did Samuel have to look so upset and troubled? He really looked down upon him.
"That's simple to say." Samuel said gloomily, "If it's really that easy, I don't have to worry. You didn't see my father- in- law. Jesus, he has a muscular body! He looks so strong! Can I throw the game? I can't even defeat him in my dream! I will be lucky if I am not beaten to death by him."
