WIDOW IN MY BED

Chapter 44: I’m not your father’s brother



Daniel La Howard was the father who gave freedom to his children. However, his wife, Sarah La Howard, often insisted on the will. Daniel tries to be a parent who cares about the problems of his sons and daughters. When Steve first had a wet dream, Amanda’s incident that almost dropped out of school for being caught tattooing penguins, Steve approached madness after his first wife died. Amanda decided to leave her ex-husband’s house.

Daniel’s good at reading about the situation behind his calm nature; he’s the tiger hiding his fangs. In addition, he always provided input and material that was always present.

Although he rarely interferes directly with Steve and Amanda’s affairs, that doesn’t mean Daniel raises his hand. He watches and sometimes moves silently.

Jam showed up at eight in less than five minutes when the former Australian Deputy Prime Minister was busy fixing the saddle position on his favorite horse’s back. “Spider, today you have to obey me. Just watch out for running recklessly,” Daniel told Spider, the name of the white horse.

“Why do you keep that horse if it’s hard to tame?” Matt asked. When he came in, he didn’t even make a sound. “Hello, Uncle Daniel. Good morning.”NôvelDrama.Org content.

Matt greeted with a reluctant smile, reaching out first to shake hands with Mr. Daniel La Howard, a healthy, fresh fit wearing a navy blue Hermes T-shirt.

“Just in time. “Daniel smiled at the young man who had tied his hair cleanly back today. He was carrying a dark brown horse, very gallant. “Want to guess why I love Spider so much?”

“Maybe because of the story behind it, you must have spent much time together,” Matt replied politely. He was nervous.

Daniel tells Matt he wants to ride this morning on returning home from the Howard House last night. Daniel didn’t insist, but how could Matt reject his future in-laws’ wishes?

Then, I immediately contacted Jav to clear today’s schedule, making his right hand work overtime.

“My first horse was named Tamy, an American quarter horse my father gave me as a birthday present. It was black and white and excellent running. Unfortunately, one year later, when I returned for summer vacation, Tamy died of the virus, and Spider-this horse-was the third generation of Tamy,” explained Daniel, looking excited.

“Precious Tamy, when this place was on fire, and I was locked in a stable, Tamy ran through the fire to save me. Horses are not just pets; sometimes they are more sentimental than humans.” Matt was already more relaxed even though he was still a little dizzy. Dreaming of having a family alone, he has to try to get the heart of Australia’s number two ex-boyfriend-his girlfriend’s father.

“That’s so cool. You take good care of Tamy’s offspring,” Matt put on a passionate look. “He said the horse was the most loyal animal after the dog, and you grew up with him. Seeing how you grew up, you must have been amazing.” Matt was still stiff even though he was very confident with their conversation.

Daniel looked like a bigot in that money sport. As he walked for one round around the arena, Matt rushed around like a messenger.

Daniel bleeds and responds with a small laugh. “My father and grandfather loved horses, too, but my son Steve couldn’t even sit on a saddle without falling or getting kicked. From that day on, Steve suddenly became allergic to horse racing. ” Matt holds back his laughter. How could a father make fun of his son so smoothly?

Daniel continued,” he said that he would itch and even get nauseous even if he was only at horse racing for a minute. Explain where there is such a disease. Steve thinks I’m stupid because I’m old, you son of a bitch.”

“Steve isn’t good at riding, but I hear he’s good at chess?”

“Chess is not manly even though it is extraordinary. Men must have prestige, one of which is riding,” the sun began to burn, but the old man did not look tired. “And you don’t have to call him ‘Brother.’ Steve has to be able to sit on a horse without shaking until you deserve to be called Brother.”

“But Brother Steve is older than I am.” Matt has never been polite to anyone, but this time, it’s different. Mr. Daniel La Howard has a repressive aura that is whole of dignity-the aura of in-laws.

“Then it’s up to you,” replied Daniel, a buzzer. Wait, you can ride. Maybe you’re the only calm exterior.” Daniel sounded like he didn’t like to be lied to.

“I’ve got horse racing in Russia, which is not as big as yours, but it is worth it for riding practice every weekend. Around it are lakes surrounded by forests so we can ride in the wild.”

“The forest is yours?” Matt mentioned that of all his explanations that Daniel captured, only one was about the forest.

The man smiled awkwardly as if he was talking too much. “Mmm… Yeah, mine. Why?”

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud of you.” Daniel smiled, but Matt didn’t get it yet. “Men my age and I have a mission to save animals that need help. Sometimes, we take them to a nature reserve or a zoo, but we think we should have our place.”

“Uncle Daniel can use the forest if you want. I’ll give it to him.” Matt immediately answered.

Now Daniel’s laughing out loud. “You want to give me a forest like a box of cheap cookies? It’s a forest of young people…” When Matt was about to explain, Daniel cut. “And why do you still call me ‘Uncle’? I’m not your father’s brother.”

“Then what should I call you?” Matt felt awkward.

Daniel changed his facial expression more casually and said, “Dad, from now on, call me Dad.”

Matt has lost his head; something extraordinary happened in his life. She has yet to introduce herself properly, but the older man treats her well. Matt would be touching Mr. Daniel’s feet now if they weren’t in public.

Immediately, Matt ran after Daniel, who was far ahead.

Daniel glanced and saw that Matt was already next to him. “You young people overthink when life is concise. I don’t want to be a father who stands in the way of his daughter’s happiness. My daughter has chosen you, and go ahead. I have blessed you.”

“Uncle, I mean… Dad, “Matt feels goosebumps and has a lot of respect for the old man next to her. “But Daddy hasn’t known who I am. Hasn’t he given his blessing too soon?”

“You want me to revoke my blessing?” Daniel said in a severe tone. Matt immediately shook up, not wanting that to happen. “Matthew Wallace was born in New York and has a negative AB blood type. His parents died in a tragedy, then lived in Indonesia and were raised by Robert Reiner. Untraceable, untouchable, and law-abiding under his feet despite almost all his illegal business. Is something wrong?”

“….” Matt’s being vigilant because Daniel says it’s like it’s no big deal. That’s a lot more horrible.

“It’s challenging to disclose information about you because you hide very well young people. But I need to know who my daughter is dating. I only ask for one, but this may hurt your pride…” Daniel said very quietly and thoughtfully.

“Stay at our house after you get married, just for one year. Amanda’s my only daughter; she’s precious, and I’m sure you know about her past. Daniel then looked at Matt, “Please make my daughter happy; one time, her tears drop; I’ll make you never see her again.”

This morning, before leaving, Matt had a chance to read a report about Mr. Daniel Howard. It says that the man who once spearheaded the Australian economy was a serious and disciplined figure. Even in some of the photos Jav collected, it’s rare for the man to smile, let alone laugh, like today.

Even though he looks friendly in front of Matt, he believes that his girlfriend’s father must have a lot of secrets. His attitude today is perfect. Still, when talking about his daughter, Daniel immediately changed seriously, as if he didn’t want to be denied.

After spending a full day at horse racing, Daniel invites Matt to his home-dinner together-and Matt agrees immediately.

“Dad, why didn’t you tell me you wanted to take Matt out to eat here? If I knew, I could cook more because Matt had a great appetite,” Amanda asked her father, who had been waiting in the Palace lobby for a while.

“Even though he eats a lot, his stomach doesn’t look fat. It’s just an image, so you think he likes your cooking,” Daniel said in a humorous tone. “Are you happy that your future husband is here?” Amanda was puzzled by his father’s question.

“But we never talked about marriage, and even Matt hasn’t proposed to me yet, Dad,” Amanda replied innocently.

Daniel immediately gave Matthew Wallace an explanatory look. What, why haven’t you proposed to my daughter until now?

“It’s not like that, Dad, but Amanda’s condition is still recovering. And he also has to see a psychologist once every two weeks for his health.” Matt answered in a hurry.

It was like being strangled when his future in-laws gave him a hostile look. “Dad, you take it easy before Christmas. I promise there will be good news,” Matt said.

“What is this supposed to mean?” Amanda missed out on many things, actually what these two guys were talking about, and continued, “Matt, why are you calling my dad, Dad? You guys do anything all day long. Why does it look so weird to come home?” Daniel and Matt laughed at Amanda’s innocent reply. Both have the same mind and taste.

“I’m sorry if you weren’t comfortable with the wedding discussion,” said Matt as they walked together after dinner.

Amanda shook. “It’s not like that, Matt. I’m just a little worried whether our relationship will work?” Amanda felt noticed when the taller Matt looked down. “You know my condition; you must want a complete family as a man. There’s a father, a mother, and a son. But I’m afraid I can’t give you Matt’s happiness.”

“Looks like there’s something I need to get straight, Amanda.” Matt made his girlfriend stare at him. “Maybe many people want the perfect family, but it’s them, not me. I have my version… Look, I approached you because I wanted to take your heart completely. I want you to love me and depend on me very much because I plan on learning and relying on you for the rest of my life. I’m serious; you’re my family, Amanda, and I don’t need anyone else.” Matt’s words were very calm, and his deep voice allowed Amanda to hear the truth.

“I’ve already told you I don’t care about your past. I don’t need a child either because all I need is you, Amanda. Even if everyone leaves you, I never will believe me.” Matt took Amanda’s body into his arms. “The definition of my happiness is to be beside you.”

Amanda smiled, Matt’s touch being a warm, tight embrace. “Thank you, Matt. Please take care of me, and let’s stick together.”

“Yes, dear.” The man touched her lover’s cheek, and Amanda’s face blushed as soft as that. Kiss Amanda.

“Mmm, Matt… I’m wondering why you’re acting different tonight, aren’t you? Don’t get me wrong, but it seemed I was against you a few days ago.”

“Maybe your mother was moved by the gift I gave her. Chanel.” Matt replied casually.

“Channel? Gift you a bag?”

“It’s not. The shares.”

Amanda said nothing but to accept everything Matthew Wallace gave her. When he asked Amanda as his girlfriend, the man once promised that whatever she wanted, she would give him, even though what she wanted was absurd, even if she had to put blood on her hands, for Amanda La Howard’s sake, whatever she would do.
