Chapter 270 Your Man Is Here
When having dinner, Zach showed much constraint, uncomfortably. Sophia’s father, Jseph Mckinley, crossed his arms, feeling unsatisfied with Zach. Zach showed a humble smile, “Sir, I heard you are fond of drinking, so I prepared a bottle of Peach Blossom brandy. You have a try…”
Speaking, Zach pulled the glass to Jseph carefully.
Jseph snorted, and then he pointed at his bowl in front of him, “I never use glasses to drink, and the bowl is better!”
Jesus!
Zach took a deep breath and then abandoned his humility. He rolled up his sleeves and said politely, “Well, I will be your partner!”
“Release yourself. If you got drunk earlier, I will say no to your marriage with my Sophia.”
“Jseph!” Mrs. Mckinley raised her voice, and pulled him with a smile, “Don’t take his words seriously now, and he hates to part with our daughter. I know Zach is very honest, and my husband also likes you very much.”
Jseph felt embarrassed, with a bad look.
Zach waved his hand and said gently, “It’s ok! We won’t drink too much.”
Sophia was a bit worried, while Mrs. Stones petted her hand, saying, “Don’t worry. He will know when he has had enough.”
Zach smiled archly, and poured more wines into Jseph’s glasses. “Sir, do you mean that you will say Yes to our marriage, if you get drunk earlier than me?”
“Say it after drinking.” Jseph said nothing more, but bottomed the wine up.
Everyone knew that the life will be hard if the father-in-law was unsatisfied with his son-in-law.
After drinking glasses, Jseph was much drunk. He pointed at Zach and said, “I…I tell you. Sophia is my only daughter. If you…you…”
Zach listened carefully, and nodded. “Father-in-law, you don’t worry. I will be very kind to Sophia, and make her happy in her rest of life.”
“Don’t…don’t call me father-in-law. I haven’t said Yes.”
“Ok, but you will be my father-in-law sooner or later.”
“You dream it!”
Zach looked at drunk Jseph, and suddenly realized that Sophia had her personality from her father. They never said what they meant.
Mrs. Mckinley petted her husband’s shoulder, “Jseph, it’s enough. You cannot have a good sleep if you drink more.”
“No! I have to! This young man is so proud. He needs to be taken down a peg.”
Jseph continued to drink.
The spirit with a volume of over 60, was very strong, which made Zach also drunk.
At last, Jseph fell asleep, slumping over the table in front of the present. Mrs. Mckinley was awkward. “You see…”
Zach showed a smile, “It’s fine. I will bring him to the bedroom, and you can have a chat here.”
Then he lifted Jseph by arms. Zach walked steadily, as if he was not drunk at all.
The two mothers sat there, and cannot help complimenting each other for their children. Sophia was siting between them, being on pins and needles.
In the guest’s bedroom, Zach slowly put Jseph on the bed and used the warm towels to wipe his face, hands and feet. Then he was about to leave.
“Wait…”
Jseph lying on the bed suddenly spoke. Zach turned around with doubts, to see Jseph’s eyes closed. Obviously, he was speaking from his dream, saying, “Sophia is my daughter. I will never let you have her so easily.”
Zach smiled hopelessly, whispering, “Father-in-law, it’s not up to you! My heart has been occupied by Sophia, and I will have no other woman, but Sophia for my whole life.”
So…if Sophia cannot be his wife, he would never be happy in the rest of his life.
The room was suddenly silent. Perhaps Jseph stopped speaking from his dream, or he really fell in deep sleep.
Zach slightly closed the door, and left.
With the door closed, Jseph slowly opened his eyes. After a while, he laughed, “Young man!”
On the first floor, the two mothers had a heated talk. If they were allowed, they must have made the wedding date for Zach and Sophia.
Seeing so, Zach hurried to interrupt them, and rescued his little girl friend from the embarrassment. “Mom, Mrs., it’s late now. And I think it’s time for you to sleep.”
Mrs. Stone and Mrs. Mckinley exchanged an eye, showing a look that they knew what the two young wanted to do. They smiled, “Just go! Young man and lady!” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Sophia heard the words and her eyes opened wide, “Mom, what are you speaking?”
“Sophia, I have a slight headache…” Zach knew the thoughts of the moms, so he played along. His tall body leaned on Sophia and he spoke weakly.
Sophia believed that he was really in a bad condition, saying, “Are you ok?” She petted his face, finding the peculiar red on his face. She was a little angry, “I just stopped you from drinking much, but you were so headstrong. Now you see.”
With an innocent face, Zach was thinking that he drank so much for Sophia.
Jseph said that if Zach didn’t drink the wine, he will never agree his daughter to marry Zach.
Sophia got no reply, thinking that he was drunk and lost himself. She helped him to his bedroom. Upon the door was closed, Zach approached her and kissed her, raising her chin.
Zach said with joy, “Sophia, I am so happy that father-in-law has been satisfied with me.”
“Who told you? I didn’t hear that.” Sophia pushed him.
Zach did get drunk, with a strong feeling of touching her.
“You have no idea about a lot of things.” Zach snorted.
