Chapter 329 You’re Married?


    The pink cocktail before Avery and Jessica was named ''Pink Memories.'' It was a standard cocktail


    with a low alcohol content. As for Daniel''s blue drink, it was called ''Shark''s Ocean,'' with an alcohol


    content so high it could knock out an ox!


    Daniel might not have known the cocktail’s name, but his keen sense of smell quickly alerted him


    something was off. This wasn''t the typical wee for meeting a future son-inw – it was a ploy to


    get him sloshed.


    Jessica, aware of the Shark''s Ocean, immediately informed the waiter. "My assistant has to drive


    later; he can''t have alcohol. Just bring him some orange juice."


    "No need," Avery interrupted, then addressed the waiter firmly. "If he can''t handle a drink, what


    good is he as an assistant? Isn''t the point of a male assistant to take drinks on your behalf during


    business dinners? Today, I''ll y the role of your client and test him to see if he''spetent."


    "Auntie, you''re trying to get me drunk on our first meeting?"


    "What did you just call me?"


    "Auntie. Or did you expect me to call you ''mom''? That would be asking too much of me, wouldn''t


    it?" Daniel''s reluctance was clearly etched across his face.


    Avery was stunned by his words. Her suspicions, already piqued upon this odd arrangement where


    her daughter brought an assistant to dinner, deepened. What kind of assistant warrants being part


    of a family meal?


    Suspicious, Avery directed a probing look at Jessica. "What''s going on here?"


    "Nothing much. My assistant used to be aedian. He''s just joking!" Jessica quickly covered.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Of course, Avery wasn''t buying it. She turned to Daniel with a stern face. "Are you joking?"


    "What joke? I''m your daughter''s husband. Properly speaking, I should be calling you ''mom.''


    However, since you haven''t given me a bonus to change how I address you, I''ll stick with ''auntie'' for


    now. Maybe if there''s money involved someday, I''ll call you ''mom.''"


    "Idiot, shut up!" Jessica snapped before Daniel could say more.


    To stop him from spouting more nonsense, she stuffed a piece of steak into Daniel’s mouth. "Go


    chew on some meat!"


    "No! I look this good, and you can''t bear to let me meet your mom?"


    "If you don''t stop this nonsense right here, you can get out!"


    "If you want me to stop being your husband, then let''s divorce! As long as we''re not divorced, you''re


    still my wife!"


    Daniel''s words left Avery''s jaw on the floor.


    She red at Jessica with a serious expression. "Did you two get married officially?"


    "No!"


    "Yes!" Jessica denied while Daniel confirmed, providing two conflicting answers at once.


    "Jessica, what in the world is going on?" demanded Avery.


    "What''s there to exin? Jessica and I made a marriage pact when we were kids. Now we''re both


    adults. Hence, we should be married," Daniel chimed in unabashedly.
