Chapter 443: At Any Cost
Josh finally met Shane’s father and her other brother Min. Min was a more approachable person than Jun, since he rather talked too much, asking him a lot of questions. But Shane’s father was like Jun, the quiet type.
It had been a few days already since he arrived at Shane’s house, but her father never talked to him yet, until tonight when Jun told him that his father-in-law was waiting for him in his study room, so Josh went there immediately after excusing himself from Shane and Jun, who were with him in the living room.
He knocked and opened the door when he heard Shane’s father say, "Come in."
"Please sit." Shane’s father instructed, then he gave a glass to Josh.
Josh gulped, seeing him opening a bottle of hard drink.
"Do you drink Josh?" Shane’s father asked.
"Yes, father." Josh answered, trying to hide his nervousness. This was the first time Shane’s father talked to him because he would only nod or glance at him most of the time.
He even asked Shane if her father was angry because of the unexpected wedding or did not like him or his background, but Shane only laughed at him saying it was her father’s character since he was a man of few words.
"Sorry if I did not give you a proper welcome son. You see, I had to work out a lot of things and make sure your stay here should be safe enough." Shane’s father explained while he sat opposite Josh and poured a drink in Josh’s glass, then handed the bottle to Josh.
Josh quickly grabbed the bottle and poured in his father-in-law’s glass. He was very nervous thinking about the reason he was called for a one-to-one drink with Shane’s father. He only hoped he would not scold or reprimand him for marrying his precious daughter without permission. He was also afraid that if his father-in-law had called him for a few drinks then he wished he could last long and would not disappoint Shane’s father by blacking out so early.
"I understand, father," Josh replied meekly and raised his glass. When Shane’s father raised him, he drank it in one gulp, keeping up with Shane’s father.
