The Understated Dragon Lord

The pink cocktail before Avery and Jessica was named 'Pink Memories.' It was a standard cocktail with a low alcohol content. As for Daniel's blue drink, it was called 'Shark's Ocean,' with an alcohol content so high it could knock out an ox!

Daniel might not have known the cocktail’s name, but his keen sense of smell quickly alerted him something was off. This wasn't the typical welcome for meeting a future son-in-law – it was a ploy to get him sloshed.

Jessica, aware of the Shark's Ocean, immediately informed the waiter. "My assistant has to drive later; he can't have alcohol. Just bring him some orange juice."

"No need," Avery interrupted, then addressed the waiter firmly. "If he can't handle a drink, what good is he as an assistant? Isn't the point of a male assistant to take drinks on your behalf during business dinners? Today, I'll play the role of your client and test him to see if he's competent."

"Auntie, you're trying to get me drunk on our first meeting?"

"What did you just call me?"

"Auntie. Or did you expect me to call you 'mom'? That would be asking too much of me, wouldn't it?" Daniel's reluctance was clearly etched across his face.

Avery was stunned by his words. Her suspicions, already piqued upon this odd arrangement where her daughter brought an assistant to dinner, deepened. What kind of assistant warrants being part of a family meal?

Suspicious, Avery directed a probing look at Jessica. "What's going on here?"

"Nothing much. My assistant used to be a comedian. He's just joking!" Jessica quickly covered.

Of course, Avery wasn't buying it. She turned to Daniel with a stern face. "Are you joking?"

"What joke? I'm your daughter's husband. Properly speaking, I should be calling you 'mom.' However, since you haven't given me a bonus to change how I address you, I'll stick with 'auntie' for now. Maybe if there's money involved someday, I'll call you 'mom.'"
