The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 22
"Tom, I make it. Exactly twenty minutes. I'm not late." Samuel had an ingratiating smile on his face and bowed slightly in a reverent manner. If the Scott Family saw this, they would be too stunned to believe their eyes.
Tom looked at his sweaty face and said thoughtfully, "Look at your sweat. I'm so sorry to put you in such a hurry. You won't be angry with me, will you?"
Samuel hurriedly shook his head and said in a fluster, "of course not! How could I be angry with you?"
"Really?"
"Positively no!"
Tom chuckled and sipped his coffee languidly.
Samuel also ordered a cup of coffee and then said cautiously, "Tom, do you call me because you have something to talk with me?"
Tom kept him dangling for almost a minute before nodding gently. It was humiliating for Samuel but he hid his anger well, afraid of offending him.
"Actually, it's not a big issue. I just forgot to bring money and hope you can kindly pay my bill." Tom said delightedly.
