Chapter 323: Wrong Offer
"N-no. But I... How can I be a good son-in-law?" Ferdinand asked out of the blue. He didn’t want to lose out to Icarus on anything, so he was being competitive yet again.
He was grateful that Arabella was assuring him she would be on his side no matter what, but he still wanted to take action before things were too late.
He couldn’t help but compare himself to Icarus since he feared the latter would slowly steal his spot as Arabella’s husband if he let things be.
If he cannot win over Benjamin, he could only hope to get their parents to remain on his side.
Arabella stopped herself from giggling. That wasn’t the answer she was expecting. Her husband truly worries a lot. But she understood since she would probably think about these things too if she had in-laws.
Even if Ferdinand assures her, he would be on her side all the time, if he had parents and they don’t like her, it would still affect their relationship in the long run. Thus, she would also try to make them like her or get them on her side especially if she had a rival ready to pounce on her spouse.
"Sorry, please forget I asked," Ferdinand noticed her reaction and turned red. He buried his face in her hair, but she could still see his reddened ears.
[Why did I ask her? She has no in-laws since I don’t have parents. I should have asked Raymond. How embarrassing!]
"You are already a good son-in-law. You are taking good care of me so my family could be at ease. You are polite and humble to my parents too."
Arabella indeed never experienced having in-laws, but she at least knew Ferdinand was already doing well.
"Did my parents say something weird?" she asked again just for sure.
