The General Who Hates Me

"Wow… I"m so full!" Senior Liu remarked while he had a gla.s.s of wine with Jeru on the balcony . His daughter-in-law had prepared a lot, and he enjoyed every single dish she had made for him . She was even better than his cook .

"You"re such a lucky man to have a wife who"s great at cooking like Thea, son!" he added as he took a sip of his wine .

Jeru smiled as he looked up into the night sky and murmured, "Yeah, I guess so . "

Senior Liu creased his forehead and looked at his son, as he stated, "What do you mean, you guess so? I"m telling you, yes, you are! Very lucky, indeed!"

Jeru laughed . Thea had won his father over that evening because she had accurately hit his father"s weak spot, which was his stomach . "The way to get Senior Liu"s approval is through his stomach, indeed!" Jeru jested to which Senior Liu responded with a hearty laugh .

Jeru blew out his cheeks after he drank his wine .

Because of his father"s early arrival, his kiss with Thea was interrupted, and they did not have the chance to talk about it .

He wanted to apologize because he didn"t want Thea to think badly of him, but his father had never left them alone in the kitchen . He had instead served as an avid commentator and taster to all of Thea"s dishes .  

"Hmm, I wonder if I"ll be getting a grandson or granddaughter?" Senior Liu wondered in excitement, to which Jeru grinned .  

"Well, we need to wait for that, dad . But any genders will do as long as my baby will come out healthy," Jeru a.s.serted . Senior Liu observed Jeru keenly . He could positively tell that his son was thrilled with joy at that moment .  

During dinner, Senior Liu had noted that Jeru and Thea seemed to respect and adore each other . They were beaming at each other, and he could feel that love was in the air . Senior Liu was delighted to see it .   But he also knew how his son was . Jeru grew up lacking warmth and attention . So he might still need some guidance on how to express himself well .  

"Son, do you know what the most important thing in a relations.h.i.+p is? It"s to have mutual feelings for each other and to let your partner know how you feel about them . If I may offer you some words of advice, you should be vocal about your true feelings to your wife . Don"t just show it with action . You also need to say it . Demonstrating it with action combined with words, is still the best way…" Senior Liu advised .

Jeru felt a quiet contentment spread through him . It was the first time he and his dad had a great time like this . Bantering, laughing together and talking earnestly, like a true father and son .  

Growing up, he rarely had this kind of moment with his dad . Senior Liu had always been busy with the family business and seldom spent time with his son . That was why Jeru had always wanted to excel in everything, to get his father"s attention . He used to be frustrated at Zach and hated him because Zach was continuously a step ahead of him .  

Senior Liu noticed Jeru"s sudden silence . He touched Jeru"s shoulder and gently squeezed it, before he apologized, "I"m sorry, son . I know I"ve lacked a lot as a father to you . So, please forgive me…"

Jeru looked at his father and gave him a soft smile .  

The two were startled by Thea"s appearance with a plate of mixed fruits . She had insisted on being left alone in the kitchen to do the dishes, so her father-in-law and Jeru could have a sweet alone time and chat .

"The moon is s.h.i.+ning so bright tonight," remarked Thea as she looked up to the sky . Her father-in-law"s countenance and affection had managed to warm her heart . He even insisted that she called him "Dad" .

"By the way, dad, in case you want to eat anything, don"t hesitate to call me, alright? I will prepare it for you . Anything you want . It will be a recipe from the heart!" Thea cheerfully offered .

Senior Liu let out a cackle of laughter because it was what he had said to her a while ago . That her food tasted so good because her recipes came from the heart . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

"Dear, shall I open up a restaurant for you? In case you"re tired of anchoring and would love to be a Chef . I will sponsor you," suggested Senior Liu, but Jeru quickly interrupted, "Dad, I"m her husband . If she wants to open up a restaurant in the future, then I will be the one to sponsor her . "

Thea laughed at the two and said, "Don"t bother, please, because I can open up a restaurant myself…"

She looked at Jeru and said, "Your wife…", then s.h.i.+fted her eyes to Senior Liu, "Your daughter-in-law…"

" . . . had enough in her savings to open up her own restaurant . So, should I decide to do that in the future, both of you can support me by being my regular customers or by promoting my restaurant to others," Thea claimed happily . She really enjoyed talking with the two of them .

How she hoped meeting Jeru"s grandmother would also be as easy as this .  

"Oh, you should not stay up late, dear . It won"t be good for the baby . Why don"t you go and rest? I"m sure you are exhausted after all those preparations that you did," Senior Liu suggested as he noticed the fatigued look on Thea"s face .

She smiled and blushed, feeling touched by her father-in-law"s thoughtfulness . "Jeru, go and take your wife to her room first," Senior Liu instructed .

Jeru stood up and quickly escorted Thea to her room . While he was walking with her, Jeru tried to talk to her about their kiss . But he did not know where to start .

"It"s okay, I"ll be fine here, so you go back to dad now," Thea whispered as she paused and looked at Jeru .

"Uhm, about a while ago . I"m sorry . I mean, I didn"t mean to…" Jeru tried to explain, but Thea interrupted him, "You don"t need to apologize . Isn"t it normal for married couples to kiss? So don"t apologize . I"ll sleep first . Goodnight…"

Then she gave him a smooch on his lips which surprised Jeru before she went inside her room . Jeru wondered, "It"s the go-ahead signal, right?"
