Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1573

Jeo fetched another glass and poured about half a glass of of cider, “Farley is turning eighteen soon. Let’s have a bit of this fruity booze.”

Farley accepted it with joy, “Thanks dad.”

Pandora, looking at them with a hint of disdain, grabbed the serving tongs and picked up more food into Steven’s bowl, “Steven, you’ve worked hard today. Eat up.”

Steven broke into a big smile, “Thanks.”

His eyes eagerly sought Hannah, but she was avoiding his gaze. That night, she hadn’t looked at him directly once, making him feel invisible.

Unable to earn Hannah’s approval, he could only try to win over Jeo and Pandora, “I'll propose another toast to you two. Thank you for taking me in, so I'm not homeless on Christmas' Eve.”d2

He painted himself to be so pitiful. Jeo, being a soft-hearted person, fell for his act and joined him in the drinks.

After a few rounds, Jeo was growing fond of Steven. He patted Steven on the shoulder, “Bro, I like you. Tonight, let’s keep drinking until we’re drunk.”

It was not good that his father-in-law, whom he had tried so hard to please, suddenly called himself bro.

Steven felt a shiver down his spine, “I'm your son-in-law, I can't possibly be your buddy.”

Jeo, “Son? I don't have a son as old as you. We get along so well. From now on you call me big brother.”

Steven was speechless. He didn’t want such a big brother. Marrying the big brother's daughter would seem a bit unethical.

Pandora, looking at her husband who was making a spectacle of himself, rolled her eyes to the heavens, “Jeo, can you stop embarrassing me?”

Jeo, “Wifey, let me introduce you to this handsome young man, my new sworn brother. His name is…”

Jeo grabbed Pandora's hand, “Mom? Mom? Is that you? Are you back to spend Christmas with me?”

Farley, whose nerves were on edge, asked, “Mom, dad wasn’t like this when he got drunk before, right?”

“Who's your mom? Stop shouting nonsense. Get away from me.” Pandora tried to pull away from Jeo, but to no avail. She turned to Steven for help, “Steven, Hannah's dad is drunk. Could you help me get him upstairs?”

“No problem.” Steven immediately stepped in. Jeo was dead drunk, he couldn’t be moved easily, so Steven had to carry him.

With the help of the Ableson family, Steven managed to haul Jeo upstairs.

The drunk person offered no support, similar to a lifeless body, all the weight pressed on Steven.

The house didn’t have an elevator, so they had to take the stairs.
