Chapter 55 The Overbearing Husband

Randall nodded. "I overheard my grandpa talking about it. Shh, don't tell anyone. I only told you because you are his daughter-in-law."

Vera nodded. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone such an important secret."

They leaned their heads together and spoke quietly, while the man behind them stood under the scorching sun, hands in his pockets, watching them.

"...Um, Vera, don't tell my family about the three times you knocked me down."

"Don't worry, I'll save you some face. And, if I tell your family, your mom might kill me."

Vera tiptoed and patted Randall's shoulder. "Who would have thought? Your uncle turned out to be Patrick Olteran. I knew you are the offspring of officials, but I didn't expect you are also from a wealthy family." "You still haven't told me why you married my uncle."

"That's a good question. Actually, I want to know why I married Patrick too."

"Only your grandpa knows the real reason behind this ridiculous marriage. But he won't say."

A small black house in the backyard caught Vera's interest. "Hey, look over there. There's a small cabin. Have you been inside?"

"I have. That cabin was specially built for me by Uncle Patrick."

Vera asked, "So, those vertical lines on the wall, did you draw them?"

"Are you implying that you've been inside?"

Both of them were surprised simultaneously.

"It was me."

"Yeah."

The two suddenly felt a sense of finding a comrade. Vera and Randall shook hands. "So, Vera, you just married into our family. How did you end up here?" Randall asked curiously.
