By nearly one o'clock in the afternoon, the mother and daughter were finally awakened by Luis. After they each freshened up and got dressed, Luis had already finished cooking in the kitchen.
"Good afternoon, Daddy~" The little girl was cute and charming, though her steps were a bit unsteady. She had slept so soundly that she had no idea when Luis had gotten up.
But there were now anti-inflammatory pills and dicated ointnt on the bedside table. Such thoughtful little details made her feel incredibly happy.
This kind of gentle and considerate behavior was irresistible even to mature married won, let alone a young girl just beginning to understand love. She simply had no defense against it.
"Co on over and eat, you two sleepyheads." Luis said with a warm smile as he beckoned them.
"Wow, so lavish."
The main course was a newly launched luxury dish from the Gestor Palace private kitchen. Luis had a sudden impulse, called early to order it, and then went to pick it up.
The steam from the authentic Thai jasmine rice released the fragrant aroma of grain. The roasted at platter was an undeniably classic choice, and the pan-fried beef with peppers had always been their signature dish.
The fragrant shredded crab at poured over the rice was simply exquisite, as was the chicken broth fish fillet made with hand-line caught humpback grouper. There were also soft-boiled rich and creamy shrimp and top-quality black tiger prawns prepared in the Typhoon shelter style.
The table was full, overflowing with the taste of luxurious money.
"Have so soup first!!"
The soup was a pre-simred black chicken and ginseng soup, along with a serving of conch stewed with morel mushrooms. It was incredibly delicious, and they even gave you the clay pot. After reheating it at ho, the flavor was especially rich and sweet.
Gestor Palace private kitchen actually offers delivery, and their own staff handle it with great style.
But to show his attentiveness, Luis made the trip himself. Besides rewarding the mother-daughter pair whose performance last night was surprisingly delightful, Luis also specifically called his wife, Lily, to tell her not to order takeout boxes.
What he sent his wife was a set al; just looking at the boxes, you could tell they were expensive. Gestor Palace is quite famous in the city.
The classic braised sea cucumber with scallions, the chicken汁 South Arican abalone, along with a few small side dishes to go with rice. This al cost just over one thousand, and it also ca with a small fruit platter featuring cherries and big strawberries.
His wife, Lily, was naturally shy and didn't like to be the center of attention, but that didn't an she lacked the vanity common to won. At most, she just didn't have a strong desire to show off.
Her husband's genuine care, showing their affection in front of her colleagues, and their surprised and envious "wows" – to her, this was an incredibly happy thing.
Such a small detail was enough to make her happy for days. It had to be said, she was soone who was particularly easily satisfied.
After enjoying a wonderful al with them, Luis kissed each of them goodbye, stayed for a while, and then left their apartnt.
His original idea was to strike while the iron was hot, have sex with Blanche one more ti and ejaculate inside her, then directly activate the system's hack. But when he saw her walking a bit unsteadily too, Luis abandoned the thought.
For the mother and daughter, one had just experienced her first ti, and the other, after a long drought, had t a torrential flood like Luis. They were satisfied, but also a bit overwheld by the vigorous sex.
The funny thing was, they both said they had stomachaches. Luis chuckled inwardly, pleased with himself, and began scheming about when he could finally get the mother-daughter pair into bed together for his enjoynt.
Living such an incredibly delightful life, Luis didn't forget to keep an eye on his mother-in-law. After all, the won in the family were all main storyline tasks, and the rewards would be much richer.
"What? He backed down?!"
Arriving ho, Luis received so news that made him want to laugh and cry. He'd been waiting all this ti for that idiot Black Dog to try sothing shady.
Then he could swoop in like a heavenly soldier, pull a hero-rescuing-beauty act, and see if he could boost his mother-in-law's favorability ter.
On the dining table at ho were two cartons of good cigarettes and two relatively expensive bottles of XO.
His mother-in-law, Ruth, was beaming with pride, giggling, "Yeah, Black Dog suddenly showed up at the teahouse and it scared too. I thought that guy was coming to cause trouble."
"But he ca carrying gifts, said he talked so nonsense while drunk and asked not to mind it, and heaped on a lot of praise, wishing us booming business."
"He also said he wanted to host a dinner to apologize to in person, but I directly refused him."
"Oh, and before he left, that guy said his store lease is up at the end of the year, and since this business isn't making much money anymore, he's planning to quit."
Black Dog's visit to apologize was like a bombshell in the community. After all, compared to lofty figures like Dominic or the Leon family up above.
People are more familiar with and more afraid of local toughs like him. Black Dog was undoubtedly a pri example, a hardened rogue that most people wouldn't dare look in the eye.
Such a hardened rogue admitting defeat made everyone re-evaluate Ruth. Before, not many people cared that his mother-in-law had beco the new property managent boss; in their eyes, property managent was just there to serve them.
But this ti was different. These past two days, neighbors would actively greet Ruth when they saw her. Those who'd had minor frictions with her before either ca to curry favor or took a detour to avoid her.
"Mom, this is good. At least you don't have to worry anymore, right?"
Luis was a bit frustrated though. His mother-in-law was indeed overjoyed, but her favorability ter was still stuck at 98%. Just how to break through that final bit, Luis racked his brains.
Resting quietly at ho for a day, Luis opened the task interface and looked over the nurous tasks.
Looking at the current main and side quests, the easiest one to complete should be the task involving his beautiful sister-in-law.
But there were hidden benefits with her. He'd only accumulated over fifteen million so far, which was too little. Although Luis was itching to go for it, for the money, he had to be patient.
There were only two system blind boxes left. Luis's hands itched to open them again, but then he felt this number wasn't safe.
So he kept going back and forth on the task page. Looking at them all, each one seed difficult, none of them sothing that could be finished right away.
As for the reason behind Black Dog backing down, Luis understood after receiving a call from Hail.
"The asset liquidation plan for Tiger Real Estate is almost complete. Dominic is as cunning as an old fox, after all. As long as he doesn't fall, he has the ability to diate among various forces and find a balance."
"The farce over the Leon family inheritance is just getting lively now. Leok had to show up even in a wheelchair because his wife, Aunt Kiara, simply couldn't the others."
"Bella is using your na to borrow authority, and right now she has the upper hand."
Luis said, amused and exasperated, "What the hell use is my na?"
"That's just you underestimating your own influence. I shouldn't sound too preachy, but I still need to remind you, don't let her use
"That's just you underestimating your own influence. I shouldn't sound too preachy, but I still need to remind you, don't let her use you for nothing. That woman is very ambitious."
"I know, thanks for the heads-up, Brother Hail!"
So, it was indeed trouble within the Leon family that made Leok back down so quickly.
To be safe, Luis also ntioned that Dominic had given him a villa, and that Leok had offered to transfer the property managent office building in the community to him.
