My Thorny Husband

Gembel son-in-law

Natan arrives in front of the Morgan residence, wearing a shabby t-shirt with faded jeans. Because that's what they think, that's how he is.

Just then, Samara also stood in front of him. He looks so skinny. There was a black girth in both of his eyes, and his appearance was a mess. Far away the moment where they last met three days ago.

Looking at Samara's current appearance, Natan's guilt grew. Although he did not want this, but the fact that he had corrupted a young girl was the reality. Especially hearing if the Samara family will throw their daughter into the dumping village because it is considered a family disgrace.

With great confidence he said, “I'm Nataniel. I'm the man you've been looking for all this time. As you wish, I will marry her today also.”

Though that was what Jade and Tiana wanted, but they laughed as if humbling him.

“It also appears you're a useless man! You can't wait to marry a rich kid, can you? I'd doubt if you didn't show up today.” Tiana clearly stepped on Natan's pride.

Which rich man did he mean? Nathan laughed bitterly in his heart. However, he did not have the lust to serve their words. His gaze was only on Samara who was currently turning away.

“Whatever you are, you must marry her. I don't want to be ashamed for a lifetime. Because you're so poor, I'll take care of your marriage registration. Most importantly, no more talking about it at Julia's wedding tomorrow.”

“No need to bother, I already registered our marriage. Only need to go there for signature only.”

Tiana laughed blandly. “See, Jade! Looks like your kingpin's son-in-law is not ready to reap the wealth of this family.”

Jade approached him. The man's index finger was pointed right in front of Natan's face. “Remember, yes! Even if you're my son-in-law, don't expect you to use my treasure.”

“Dad, don't be too stingy like that.” Julia Morgan spoke up. From the tone of speech, it had no good intentions at all. “Luke said if he would support your company after our wedding. In the future, there will be plenty of abundance for us. We are also not short on money, still enough to feed everyone at home. Add one mouth only, it won't mean anything.”

This woman! If his body was made of rubber, then Natan would definitely tear this woman's mouth apart. Sok put on an angelic face, but his words were sharp and piercing. It didn't seem to bear to tear his mouth apart, but if Nata did it this time, everyone would say he was a psychopath.

Burning four people last night is not counting because they deserve it. It should be even more so since they've been torturing him for months.

“Julia's right. Be kind to the poor, Jade.”

“No need. We will not eat a bite of your hand. I'm afraid one day you'll say if we bite the hand that fed us. Though I will not just bite later.”

Nathan likes that. He just found out if Samara has this side.

Their marriage took place today. No one knows anything but close relatives. The rest, Jade was embarrassed to introduce Natan. He didn't even allow them to stay outside.

If his business friend knew his son was living in a shabby little rented house, then that would be an insult to him as well.

It doesn't matter if they stay, because Julia will be taken by Luke to his family home. Her first child will be Young Madame Langdon.

Being in the room both made them equally awkward. Neither Samara nor Natan, no one had ever slept with a foreign man or woman before. Except yesterday, and that's the first time.

Samara looks clumsy, moving some of her clothes to share a closet with Natan.

“You don't need to move that much. I only need one box because I don't have many clothes.”

Samara nodded.

“My room is still a mess. I'll clean it up one-on-one. And your sleep .. 'cause I was the first one to throw myself and you're stuck here, you can use my bed. No problem, I also rarely use it because I fall asleep more often at the table.”

“I'll sleep on the sofa. I know, no need to explain more. I know my limits, just relax.”

Nathan said without seeing it. He went to the side of the window, opened the curtain and went out to the balcony.

The view at the headquarters was much more beautiful than its current place.

Behind him, Samara glimpsed at Nathan's back. Didn't expect everything to happen like this. She is married, but to a man she doesn't even know more than her name.

Samara continued her work. After finishing all, he said to Natan with a bit of nervousness. “I ... I'll be out looking for dinner. I'll treat you if you want to come with me.”

Actually Samara was just afraid of Natan starving. Since he who had said that he would not eat a bite of them, Nathan would certainly not get any food rations. While Natan ... she did not know if she had any money or not.

“Good offer.”

They walked along the sidewalk awkwardly. No one starts a conversation, or just a small talk. They don't know where to go and what to eat.

“There are many food stands that we pass. What kind of food are you looking for?”

“You can choose what you want. I can eat everything, depending on what's in front of me. Think of it as a gift because you're back. If not, maybe I should have to forget my revenge on them.”

“If you say that since then, we will not walk aimlessly like this.”

Samara was just nervous about starting the conversation. After what they had already done, of course he still could not look into Natan's eyes.

“I don't know good food here, but I'm not picky on the menu either. Just stay in front. Whatever it is, I can eat it.”

There is a simple shop ahead. Serves a wide variety of snacks without providing on-site meals.

“What would you like to move to another? No seats here.”

“Why turn around empty-handed if it's a long way to get here? Just order what is.”

Since Nathan doesn't mind either, he doesn't matter either. One hot dog for the guy, and fries for him. Actually among them also no one has any appetite at this time.

“Not good to eat while walking. Sit here.” Nathan pointed to his empty side with his chin.

Because it was still too foreign, their sitting distance also cornered each other. Under the lamp post, sitting on a long bench, while watching the people milling in front of them.

Seeing people fighting on the side of the road, fighting, yelling at each other, that was common. No one wants to know about anyone else's business. Because, along with the development of this city, the demands of their lives are also higher.

The two men chewed silently, watching some people who could be used as a diversion, or just turned to and fro without clarity.

“If there is anything you want to say, I still hear you.” Nathan started it first. He could see Samara holding her back.

“Actually .. there are many things I want to tell you. First of all, since this marriage was an accident and I'm also guilty, you don't have to worry about me. I can support myself. Then, since this was an accident as well, I hope you understand if I don't want it to happen again. You know, we .. we're just two strangers. Things like that are still very far away from our situation like this. And again, even though we are married this way, I also still want to know who my Mother and Father-in-law are. At least I know a little about you.”

“From all your words, only one I can confirm. Both of my parents are dead and I don't have any brothers or cousins or anything like that here. I have a few friends, and that's not so important either. The first and second things cannot be used as a view of our lives later. The first reason is that I am poor and have nothing to do with what you know. But I am still your husband. The second, because it is an official partner, such things do not rule out the possibility of reoccurring. Whether intentional or not, there will be nothing wrong with both.”

Samara swallowed her saliva. Nathan's words made his body temperature heat up. He turned to hide his reddened face.

Actually, Nathan's words felt very calm. Even though he was with such a look, but the way he said it earlier, as if showing if he was reliable. It was as if it was so contrasted with his background.

“Can I ask you, why are you back? At your house, you said you didn't want to know my business. I didn't expect you, but you suddenly just showed up.”

“I'm not a jerk. While at the rental house, I thought nothing bad happened afterwards. But I heard that your parents were looking for me and holding me accountable. I came, and kept their word. That's it.”

Samara nodded thinly. He wanted to ask how Natan could register their marriage so quickly. However, Samara held him back for not wanting to offend Nathan. Just coming back means saving him.

They walked back home after that. Just then, suddenly a car pressed a long horn right on their side. Samara, who was shocked, swiftly dodged and almost fell down if Natan did not hold her body.

Bantley in blue color walked slowly by their side. Then a woman pulled her head out of the window.

“Hai, Sam.”

Samara just smiled faintly. He's Agnes, one of his college friends, and his sorority friend as well. In fact, he knew Agnes as well because Luke had a Bantley community that held frequent meetings. Otherwise, he couldn't possibly know that haughty woman.

If it wasn't for the man she was dating, Agnes wouldn't be in their community either. Join the rich young man in this city and climb the ladder of his popularity.

“Tomorrow is your brother's wedding day, why are you wandering the streets like this?”

Samara answered him. Then, Agnes looked at Natan who was standing behind her. From the look of his eyes, it was already seen a condescending look. Even looks disgusted.

“You don't want to introduce your husband to me? I heard, you guys are married today.”

“I see, you already know more. So, I don't have to say anything else to you.”

“Come on, Sam .. Don't be like that! I'm sure the other guys would love it if you introduced your husband to us. You know, they're waiting for a party invitation from you. Oh, do you want to combine your party with Julia? Okay, no problem. I'll tell our friends if your party will be held on the same day.”

Samara had just opened her mouth, but Agnes seemed to have so deliberately trapped her.

“No need to thank, I'm leaving now.”

Agnes and her lover leave without waiting for Samara's approval.

“No need to ignore. She's nothing more than a crazy woman.”

Samara shook her hand, inwardly feeling anxious. Agnes is crazy, and her madness can realize her words earlier.

After a few steps, Samara's phone kept ringing. When he opened it, it was Luke's bantley community group. In an instant, the group was instantly crowded and many people called out his name.

Agnes moved quickly. Samara knew Agnes was deliberately doing this to humiliate her, but this was really a delay. Agnes said they were going to have a party at the hill villa on Saturday night at the invitation of the Morgan family because her two daughters had just been married.

At that time a new Julia number was added, and they all asked if Samara needed to be issued or not.

A second later, everyone said that Samara was still a part of them before they congratulated her.

They were all playing him. The news of his marriage to a drunk, poor and destitute man ran rampant like sparks doused in gasoline. So fast that they were racing how to humiliate him later.

Samara has always been the center of envy. In terms of appearance, ability, to have a lover from the Langdon family. Samara's life is too perfect. After this incident, of course they will not miss the moment to trample it later.

Nathan watched all their words. Samara's brightly lit phone screen could be seen easily.

The lentic fingers look crumpled up the phone. His shoulders were raised high, then down slowly. Samara tried to restrain herself.

Then, the fingers type something, “I have nothing to do with you guys anymore. The party that Agnes said, everything is not true. Maybe it's just Julia, but I'm not. I'll be out of this group now ju―”

Before Samara actually finished her speech, Natan snatched the phone. All the messages that Samara was about to send were deleted by her, and she replaced them with ….

“Yes. I'll have a party that day. You all come.”

Samara was surprised to see it. The round, bright black eyeball almost jumped out of its sockets. Before he could react, Natan had already pressed the send button.

“Natan, what are you doing?”

“You want to make yourself humiliated by this many people?”

“Are you aware, what are we going to do with all the bills later? You don't know, this group, they're all crazy. They not only intend to trap us, but they intend to kill us!”

Natan calmly walked back, “I know and I deliberately threw myself.”

“And make our whole life bear all the debt, yes?” Samara was so emotional that her face was red. “I think you're not sane either!”
