Chapter 930: Already Married, Still Calling Me Master?

Tina's cheeks flushed, but she didn't shy away.

Just as Jared was about to touch her, a sudden ringtone interrupted them.

Jared frowned. "Who is it this time?"

Tina innocently picked up her phone and showed him. "My dad."

Jared: "..."

She answered the call, and Ruud's cheerful voice came through immediately. "Sweetheart, we're having a family dinner tonight. Don't forget to come home." Tina replied with a soft "Okay" and was about to hang up when Ruud hurriedly called out, "Wait!"

"Is there something else?" she asked.

After what sounded like a heavy internal struggle, Ruud finally said, "Your grandfather insisted that... that person comes too."

Jared: That person?

Did he not deserve a name?

Ruud added begrudgingly, "Tell him it's your grandfather's idea. I didn't agree to let him into this family."

Tina pinched the bridge of her nose. "We're already married. Your opinion doesn't matter."

Ruud was at a loss for words.

He couldn't let one man take away his precious daughter, so he quickly relented. "I was just joking! If he wants to come, fine, I won't stop him."

Then, as if attempting to change the subject, he asked, "By the way, sweetheart, what do you feel like eating tomorrow? Dad will make it for you..." Tina hung up immediately.

She didn't want to deal with the looming horror of tomorrow's meal when she hadn't even digested today's. The thought of it was more stressful than performing ten surgeries. Hand in hand, the two walked toward the car.

Tina thought about the dinner. "Uncle, are you free tonight?"

"Of course!" Jared replied without hesitation. "It's my first official visit to the in-laws after marriage. I should dress up and bring a few extra gifts."
