“I heard you two addressing each other as husband and wife, right? Are you always living together?” Sherry Woods asked tentatively.
She had stopped pressing about the previous topic, asking just enough, but if she had asked more thoroughly, it would have been too much.
“Mhm, Suri and I, we live together, in the same room,” Yigol Novak nodded.
Just as his words fell, Suri Drew pinched his side and simultaneously explained to Sherry Woods, “Mom, that’s not true, he’s just talking nonsense. I’m the one calling him my husband, we’re not what you think.”
“The past few days, his sister came, she arrived in a hurry and had nowhere to sleep, so I let him make a makeshift bed in my room. There’s nothing between us, you’re being paranoid, why would you say such nonsense?” The more Suri explained, the redder her face got.
With a warning look from Suri, Yigol quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, yes, I do share a room with Suri, but I sleep on a makeshift bed, that’s true.”
“Wife, please be gentle, it hurts!” Yigol said, then immediately begged for mercy.
Suri was dumbfounded. With his words, it turned into a threat-induced explanation. Not only was it unconvincing, but it also became increasingly unclear.
After Suri finally let go, Yigol complained, “Wife, you always call out for me in the middle of the night, waking me up. When I get up to see, it turns out you were calling me in your sleep.”
“I’m so pitiful. I get woken up by your calls several times every night, then I just watch you sleep till dawn.”
Suri was annoyed, “Why do you always talk nonsense? I never talk in my sleep, you, just get away from me.”
Suri was almost desperate, she tried her best to clarify the current situation with her mother, but this guy just seemed intent on stirring up trouble.
Sherry watched, feeling a mix of emotions in her heart, Suri Drew and Yigol’s behavior was very similar to what she and Suri’s father went through back then.
She just hoped that her daughter’s ending would be a good one.
With emotions welling up in her heart, Sherry wanted to be alone for a while, so she said, “If you two want to fool around, go back to your room and do it, I’m going to sleep.”
Yigol asked Suri hastily, “Wife, should we let your mom sleep in my room?”
Unconsciously, Suri glanced at Yigol’s room, and Sherry immediately understood the meaning behind her words. It turned out that the room Suri was looking at belonged to Yigol.
Of course, she couldn’t sleep in her son-in-law’s room.
She got up and walked towards Suri’s room, “You two sleep in that room, I’ll sleep in this one tonight, okay? Girl?”
Sherry looked at Suri.
Suri opened her mouth, not knowing how to refuse. The relationship between her and her mother made her unaccustomed to sharing a room with her. But after all, this was her mother. Despite their lack of closeness, their relationship
Yigol watched the mother and daughter and sighed secretly in his heart.
If his mother-in-law slept in his room, he would still have a chance. But seeing her head towards Suri’s room, it was obvious that Suri was going to share the room with her mother.
It seemed that tonight, he would be alone at home.
Suri didn’t say anything, but after Sherry looked at her, she walked straight into her room.
As someone who had been through it all, Sherry naturally understood Suri’s thoughts. Not refusing meant tacit acceptance. After all, she was a girl, and some things were too embarrassing to say bluntly.
Just as Sherry was about to close the door, Suri quickly stopped it, “Mom, wait a moment…”
“What? You’re so unhappy that I’m staying in your room?” Sherry Woods pretended to be angry, but in fact, she could tell that her daughter was just shy.
“No, Mom, uh, Yigol doesn’t have any blankets on his side, they’re all in my room. Can you let me get one?” Suri tried to get past Sherry and into the room but was ruthlessly prevented from doing so.
“You young people can stand the cold, I can’t. I’m old, I can’t stand the cold the most. If you take the blanket away, do you want to freeze your mother to death? Besides, with Yigol there, you won’t freeze, boys have a strong body heat.” Sherry replied.
Suri felt like crying, she grasped her mother’s hint. Was she trying to make her sleep with Yigol?
Is this a real mother? Who pushes her daughter towards a man’s room?
“Mom, what are you doing?” Suri’s face flushed all the way to the base of her neck.
She really couldn’t understand what her mother was thinking. Other mothers would be worried about their daughters casually sleeping with men, but hers, upon first meeting, was creating opportunities for her son-in-law.
“Yigol, you better take good care of Suri. If she catches a cold, I’ll hold you accountable.” Sherry reminded Yigol once more before mercilessly closing the door.
After hearing her, Yigol almost cried out with excitement. This mother-in-law was too helpful, right?
There’s no doubt that she’s the best mother-in-law in the world.
Suri stared blankly at the closed door, her heart racing uncontrollably.
After a while, she suddenly turned around and bolted into Yigol’s room, hiding in there.
Yigol dumbfoundedly watched Suri’s cute appearance, almost laughing out loud.
He followed her, but when he was about to enter the room, Suri quickly tried to close the door. Naturally, Yigol wouldn’t let her have her way, blocking the door before her.
“What are you doing? Go sleep on the couch,” Suri said softly but pretend to be ferocious.
“I won’t, the couch is too cold. I want to sleep in the room,” Yigol said stubbornly.
“No way,” Suri refused immediately.
“You’re being unreasonable; this room is mine,” Yigol stood his ground without the slightest bit of retreat.
“But, this house is mine,” Suri replied indignantly, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, as if even her breathing was not smooth.
“But this room is mine,” Yigol’s attitude remained unchanged, with a look of complete defiance.
“You, you… I don’t care, you can’t come in anyway,” Suri found herself unable to out-argue Yigol, so she could only resort to acting shamelessly.
“If you don’t let me in, I’ll go tell our mom. I’ll say you’re mistreating me, not letting me into the room. She just told me to take good care of you and not to let you get cold. Otherwise, she’ll come after me tomorrow. So, I absolutely cannot give in,” Yigol said righteously.
“You, shut up, just shut up!” Suri’s face turned red with embarrassment, her fists uncontrollably flying towards Yigol.
Her punches carried no weight, and for Yigol, it felt like being tickled. He accepted all her hits with a grin.
After a playful bout, Suri’s emotions were mostly vented, so Yigol suddenly grabbed her wrist. She instantly quieted down, her eyes flitting around in panic as she looked at Yigol
