Lust System: Harem Of Beautiful Women Chapter 667 Drink And Enjoy
Previously on Lust System: Harem Of Beautiful Women...
The family returned to their abode. Mother-in-law Ruth seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood. A quick survey of the refrigerator contents led her to announce, "There are still a few side dishes left, and then there's also that roasted chicken from the evening ritual. Who among you would like to partake?"
"Someone certainly wants to eat; my stomach is rumbling. I'm going to wash up first."
Nancy, her spirits lifted, also ascended the stairs to refresh herself and change into different attire.
Ruth, meanwhile, diligently arranged the late-night provisions, displaying a remarkable wifely efficiency and virtue.
Spotting Arthur by the liquor cabinet, she admonished him sharply, her temper flaring, "She's waiting on her son-in-law, not you. Are you utterly useless? Can't even manage to get the bowls?"
Her demeanor towards the father-in-law remained consistently abrasive. Arthur, however, was not a man entirely devoid of spirit.
In times past, a heated exchange would have been inevitable. Yet, now, Arthur offered no retort and proceeded directly to gather the bowls and chopsticks.
The foremost reason for this newfound docility was none other than Luis. The second son-in-law's standing within the household had ascended to such heights that Arthur felt no inclination to engage in arguments in his presence.
This was the undeniable reality, the sheer, potent influence of wealth. After borrowing a substantial sum of five hundred thousand dollars and being unfairly burdened with the cost of that Benz C as a scapegoat.
With the son-in-law acting as her staunch supporter, Arthur found himself compelled to silently endure this humiliation, allowing Ruth to finally hold her head high, savoring a long-awaited sense of triumph.
Mother-in-law Ruth, astute in this moment, felt a deep wellspring of satisfaction. She recognized unequivocally that this entire turn of events was owed to her son-in-law.
Seizing an opportune moment when her husband Arthur was momentarily distracted, she furtively cast a coquettish, alluring glance towards her son-in-law. As she casually passed him, her hand deliberately brushed against the front of his trousers.
This was overt, unashamed seduction – she had never anticipated her mother-in-law would exhibit such deliciously wanton and flirtatious behavior. It appeared that even with Arthur in close proximity, she harbored a deeply buried, lascivious nature.
Upon reflection, it wasn't altogether surprising. Her husband maintained a mistress, and she had, in essence, endured a prolonged period of living widowhood for so many years. Consequently, when it came to straying from her marital vows, she felt no significant internal conflict or guilt.
Although he was her own son-in-law, the sole lingering trace of a guilty conscience was tied to the thought of betraying her own daughter.
Nevertheless, the son-in-law's gentle nature, his considerate actions, his inherent kindness towards her, and the consistent manner in which he championed her and provided her with protection.
All of these factors allowed her to experience the profound joy of having a reliable pillar of support, of being safeguarded by another's strength. A deep sense of security permeated her being, making her feel akin to a young maiden on the cusp of her first romantic stirrings.
It vividly recalled her past discord with Old Peter. At that time, with her children still very young, she had no choice but to rely solely on her sharp, shrewish tongue to fend for herself and face hardships in isolation.
But now, with her son-in-law acting as a shield against the storms of life, serving as a secure harbor that nurtured and protected her, the powerful emotions surging within her heart were more intense than ever before. Coupled with this were equally tempestuous carnal and sensual desires coursing through her veins.
"Dad, what sort of liquor do you fancy?"
Nancy shared a remarkably amicable relationship with her father. The beautiful woman, now refreshed from her bath, made her way downstairs, clad in a delicate spaghetti strap dress, and posed a sweet inquiry near the liquor cabinet.
Her viewpoint held a slight divergence from her mother's. On this particular day, with both her brother-in-law and her father present to offer their support, she considered both men to be deserving of merit.
"Hey, that's the liquor our son-in-law presented to honor me. It wasn't intended for his honor."
The entire collection of premium imported liquor had, in fact, been procured by Nancy herself. The same applied to the cigarettes and other related items, enabling her to make a dazzling show before her former classmates who were employed in the tobacco and liquor trade.
Naturally, this was also a strategic move orchestrated by Luis, a method to circulate his accumulated capital while simultaneously bestowing immense pride and a sense of elevated status upon his mother-in-law.
Having concluded her preparations, Ruth took her seat, positioning herself naturally beside Luis. The moment she spoke, her tone was tinged with both triumphant satisfaction and a subtle, sharp note of envy.
Luis swiftly intervened to pacify the situation, "Come now, Mom, let's all share a drink together. Why concern ourselves with who it's for and who it isn't?"
"Yes, Mom, this was offered by our brother-in-law to honor us anyway. It's perfect timing for us to have a good drink tonight and really enjoy ourselves."
Nancy also put in considerable effort to mediate and keep the peace.
Everyone's glass was filled to the brim. Arthur's mood was also quite elevated and enthusiastic.
The second son-in-law was not only promising but also knew how to navigate social situations with grace. The matters concerning the loan and the acquisition of the car had been kept completely under wraps, ensuring that Arthur wouldn't lose face in front of this shrew of a woman.
On top of that, the bar had helped offload that batch of mineral water, leaving his financial situation somewhat more comfortable. At the very least, out of the past several years, this year had been the least financially strained.
After eating and drinking for a while, the mother and daughter duo became particularly animated when discussing the day's events.
Arthur then uttered a sentence that actually sounded like something a decent human being would say. In a low, measured tone, he stated, "In a little while, I'll call a few guys over. They can spend the night in the car. If we need them tomorrow morning, we'll just have them come on up. We absolutely cannot allow ourselves to be taken advantage of."
"So you actually count as a human being after all!!"
Arthur proceeded to make a phone call, presumably to some of the low-level thugs working at his company.
Upon hearing this, Mother-in-law Ruth looked at him with a beaming, amiable expression. With her own hands, she poured him a drink, a gesture that seemed almost like a form of reward.
In that brief span of time, the excitement had driven the four of them to finish off a one and a half catty bottle of foreign liquor. Nancy immediately opened another bottle and then discreetly signaled to Luis with her eyes.
Luis was fully aware of what she was thinking. Her resistance to the idea of her father keeping a mistress was actually quite minimal.
This was because, during her childhood, not only had she received the complete love of both her parents, but the mistress had also taken her out to play and bought her quite a few things.
