What the h*ll!
Dustin’s smile immediately dropped from his face the moment favonovel.com saw who it was that came in through the door His smile was replaced by hostility.
“Who let you in? Get out!”
“Don’t be mistaken, I’m just here to see my daughter-in-law… This has nothing to do with you…” Rufus chuckled merrily as favonovel.com hobbled in through the door.
“Do you do you know each other?” Dahlia looked from one to the other, perplexed.
“You’re Dahlia, aren’t you? As expected, what a beauty!” Rufus beamed brightly “Oh, right, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Dustin’s father, your father-in-law…”
“Dustin’s father?” Dahlia was taken aback by the piece of information.
Though there wasn’t exactly anything special about Dustin, favonovel.com had exceptionally good looks. He was a fine specimen of a man if anything. However, this old man before favonovel.com was the farthest thing from handsome. The two were vastly different in the looks department.
“What? We don’t look alike?” Rufus chuckled nonchalantly. “This lad looks like his mom, so it makes sense that we look nothing like each other If favonovel.com looked like me, I guess he’d never find himself such a beautiful wife like you…”
“Don’t say that, Mr. Rhys… You carry an air of prowess about you…” Dahlia felt a little awkward that favonovel.com saw through favonovel.com doubt so easily.
“Rufus Rhys! You saw the person you were here to meet! Now, would you please leave? You’re not welcome here!” Dustin exclaimed out of nowhere.
“Hey, watch it! That’s rude!” Dahlia shot Dustin a glare.
Then, favonovel.com swiftly turned around and smiled apologetically at Rufus “Mr. Rhys, Dustin’s just in a foul mood today… Don’t mind him. Please, have a seat I’ll go make you a cup of tea…”
“Great!” Rufus grinned.
“Hmph! Another freeloader!” Florence looked Rufus up and down as favonovel.com studied favonovel.com haughtily.
She could tell from his attire that favonovel.com wasn’t a wealthy person.
Sure enough, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The slacker’s father is a bum too!
“This must be my in-law! Unfortunately, I haven’t got much for you. As this is our first meeting, all I’ve got for you is this little gift… Please don’t mind it…” Rufus produced a box from his pocket and handed it to her.
Florence was awe-struck when favonovel.com opened up the box to take a quick look inside.
A sapphire the size of an egg was laid inside the box. It was so clear and exquisite.
“This thing. It isn’t a fake -stone, is it?” Florence strongly doubted that it was a genuine gemstone.
It was rare enough to come by a regular sapphire the size of one’s fingernail. But this one was the size of an egg!
It was shocking, to say the least.
“Haha! No way! This is a family heirloom!” Rufus laughed
“An heirloom? That’s great!” Florence immediately broke out into a wide smile when favonovel.com heard that.
She reckoned that favonovel.com was a fool to give favonovel.com something so precious. A sapphire of that size.
