Chapter 520 - Five Hundred And Twenty: Son-in-law (1/2)

The third point of view:

Having a rich so in law was the best feeling in the world, Baz, Camille's father decided. When he climbed into the car, it was the perfect definition of luxury. The car seat was so comfortable that he could take a nap in there and his back nor body would suffer any pain.

Unlike what he thought earlier, his son-in-law Eden was kind of easy to talk with. The young man was quite taken with him. Baz was delighted inwardly, at this rate he might not even need to bother his unfilial daughter with his finances; Eden would give him all he needed.

In no time, they got to their destination and it was a high-class hotel. Baz's eyes widened with shock and admiration at his son-in-law at the level of respect the staff gave to him - even the hotel manager came to welcome him.

”Son, you seem to be favored here, you must be a regular. A VIP or something?” Baz inquired.

”I own the hotel,” Eden said so nonchalantly it shocked the man.

He owned the hotel? The entire skyscraper? Baz gulped, how much was his son-in-law worth? This was a lot of money. His hidden grin widened, that meant that giving him - Baz - a few millions wouldn't hurt, right? His greediness grew.

In no time they got to the hotel's restaurant where they were given the best service. Baz couldn't help but relax, he was in safe hands. Their dish of tantalizing steak was served to them and both dug into the food.

The food tasted like heaven and Baz felt bitter inside. He bet his daughter was enjoying this kind of extravagant food every day but all he got was the locally made one.

That ungrateful bitch! She was living in luxury while he lived like a church rat. He was the one who made what he was today. She was his seed and yet this was how he treated him, giving all the best to her mother instead.

”How's your family?”

”Huh?” Baz was startled

”I heard you're divorced. How's your new family?” Eden asked, slicing his meat gracefully.

”About that. I'm divorced from her my second wife as well,” Baz revealed with a hint of anger.

”Oh,” Was all Eden said.

”Son, you should never trust women, they are only a bunch of cheating scoundrels,” Baz told him like it was the biggest advice of the century.

”Really?” Eden was amused, ”Didn't it say Camille's mother divorced you because you cheated on her?”

Baz's smile dropped. He scratched his head awkwardly, ”Well, son, you should know that we are men....” he leaned closer and whispered, ”We, men, never taste one woman for a lifetime. We should experiment, different flavors because it's in our nature,” He grinned and sat back.

”I concur,” Eden said and it warmed his heart. Of course, his son-in-law gets him - he liked the man.

”But then,” Eden suddenly added with a passive expression, ”I believe that real men keep up to their wedding vows made at the altar,”

Baz's expression changed, that was not the statement he expected from him, ”Well, you're correct,” he laughed awkwardly, ”We should try to be faithful,”

Silence reigned between them, the both of them eating their meal in peace with Baz stealing glances at his son-in-law from time to time. By chance, had he ruined the new relationship with Eden?
