"Oh, oh, right. Luis, letās have a drink!" Danielās mind was in chaos. Though he didnāt understand what was happening, a sense of pleasure, something transcending the physical, suddenly welled up inside him.
Seeing his brother-in-lawās hand under his wifeās skirt, he knew from the position it was on her private parts. At first, Daniel froze, his blood pressure spiking instantly, his heart filled with murderous rage.
"Ding... Persona tag successfully activated."
But as the system prompt echoed in his mind, the expression on Danielās face stiffened, shifting from furious grimace to a state of somewhat bewildered stupor.
Logically, seeing his wife carrying on like this with another man should have filled him with burning anger. Yet, for some reason, a strange thrill began to surge from the depths of his heart.
Experiencing this bizarre excitement for the first time, Daniel felt conflicted and panicked. For a moment, he didnāt know what to do. The urge to expose the adulterous pair somehow faded without him even noticing.
"Letās switch seats. You should have a proper drink with your brother-in-law," Nancy managed to say, her face burning, not daring to struggle.
She gripped Luisās hand tightly, trying to pull it out. But Luis settled for the next best thing, openly and brazenly continuing to stroke her pale thighs.
What drove Nancy craziest was that her husband, Daniel, sat right beside her, head slightly bowed, staring dumbfounded at the scene. The strange look on his face made her even more uneasy than if he had been openly furious.
"No need, having a drink isnāt that complicated," Luis said, clinking glasses with the dazed Daniel, adding with a chuckle, "Brother-in-law, bottoms up!"
"Drink... letās drink!!" The stunned Daniel snapped back to reality, his face instantly flushing bright red. Stammering, he picked up his glass and drained it in one go.
Right now, he didnāt know what was wrong with him. Something that should have provoked fury did stir some anger, but the initial feeling was overwhelmingly complex and muddled.
After the persona tag took effect on him, it had remodeled him from every angle.
Whether genetically, physiologically, psychologically, or even in his thought processes, earth-shattering changes had occurred subtly, without him even realizing it.
He remembered previously, when he thought he was being cuckolded, Daniel had been so angry he cried, felt murderous. The burning rage had twisted his heart, making him....
This only son, this mamaās boy, had never suffered such humiliation before. But now, he had to watch as another man caressed his wifeās thighs.
This shameless pair dared to act so brazenly, carrying on right in front of him. Under normal circumstances, the only calm course for Daniel would be to find a knife first.
But now, physically and psychologically, he was experiencing an extreme, intense, and utterly inexplicable sense of excitement.
Just watching his wifeās thigh being touched made him feel his blood boiling. His body, already depleted by wine and women, reacted strongly; even his corpus cavernosum began to engorge with blood.
Daniel put down his wine glass in a daze, his expression shifting between dark and light.
Nancy watched him cautiously, her heart nearly stopping from fear. No matter what, if her husband caught her cheating like this, she would be utterly doomed.
"Brother in law, come over."
Luis also withdrew his hand at that moment, stood up proactively, and began pouring wine for Daniel.
"Thanks."
Daniel replied somewhat woodenly.
His face looked foolish and vacant, with no trace of anger visible anymore, as if he hadnāt seen anything at all. Nancy felt momentarily puzzled.
She was one hundred percent certain her husband had seen, but given his terrible temper, he should have been furious. Yet now, he was just spacing out as if nothing happened. This was completely unlike him.
Luisās probing was also over, and he clearly understood the transformation was now complete.
Danielās sluggish reaction now was probably due to him adapting to this physically and psychologically uncomfortable pleasure. He likely needed more stimulation and time to confront his own change.
"Daniel, get closer to your brother in law. You are brothers in law, you know. In the past, you could have been called fellow disciples, you know."
"Understood..."
After eating and drinking their fill, Darlan, his face flushed with alcohol, paid the bill by swiping his card. They had all drunk quite a bit that evening. Arthur had other matters, so he left first when the initial designated driver arrived.
"Daughter in law, donāt worry. Dad will definitely give you an explanation later."
Darlan declared solemnly, shooting his son a fierce glare, and then said, "If you didnāt manage to earn that money, Dad will compensate you. Itās all this useless fellowās fault."
After saying that, the designated driver arrived, and Darlan personally saw the two of them into the car. Originally, he had intended to persuade his daughter in law and son to go home together.
But seeing that oxygen in hand look and Danielās fearful eyes, he knew a severe beating was inevitable tonight, which wouldnāt be very convenient if his daughter in law was present.
In the car, Nancy, her face flushed red with wine, didnāt say much. After glancing at her phone, she exclaimed in surprise, "My father in law transferred money to me."
"Thatās not very generous."
Luis stretched lazily, wrapped an arm around her, and said playfully, "This is your pocket money. Actually, Iād prefer to see with my own eyes just how badly my good brother in law gets beaten."
Nancy shot him a charming, flirtatious glare and said, "I donāt know why, but he seemed really strange today, very dull."
"Especially when he saw you touching my leg, how could he have no reaction at all."
As the person who shared his bed, Nancy knew her husbandās temper all too well. Even the slightest rumor could make him fly into a rage. Now, witnessing her thigh being touched right before his eyes, he had absolutely no reaction. It defied all logic.
"Elder Sister, I have a piece of gossip, not sure if itās true or not."
Seizing this opportunity, Luis began her psychological preparation. "I heard from friends that brother in law seems to prefer men now."
"He likes men???"
Nancyās face was full of shock, and she doubted this claim. "Impossible. I know that guyās character better than you do."
"Hehe, I heard brother in law had a one night stand with a woman, and you caught him."
Luis couldnāt help but start gossiping.
"That did happen, which is why I find it unlikely. Everyone knows heās a playboy, thatās why his body is drained from drink and sex."
Nancy clearly didnāt believe this theory.
"Who the hell knows."
Luis persisted, "I was fully prepared to fight him just now. You know his temper best. How could he possibly have no reaction at all."
Hearing this, Nancy felt confused again.
Just then, her phone rang. Answering it, she found it was Lily calling.
"Elder Sister, Mom went out to play cards. Iām home alone, bored to death."
"Just finished dinner, about to head back."
"Great. Iām waiting for you to come back and put a face mask on me. I canāt find that undersea volcanic mud mask you mentioned."
"Donāt go rummaging through my things. Iāll do it for you when I get back."
The two returned home reeking of alcohol. Lily had already prepared Luisās new underwear and said with a playful smile, "Husband, Elder Sister, why donāt you two go take a shower first? Iāll cut up some fruit for us to eat together."
"What do you mean, āyou two go take a shower firstā."
The alcohol was getting to her head, and now that her relationship with her sister had grown even closer, Nancy couldnāt help but reach out and tap Lily playfully on the head, scolding jokingly, "Rumors start from mouths like yours."
"The way you said that, anyone who didnāt know better would think we were going for a ābathā together."
Looking at his sister in law, her face flushed with wine, exuding a seductive charm, Luis felt an unbearable itch. If a guilty person dared to continue testing the waters like this, conquering her was only a matter of time.
"Tch, go ahead if you want. I wouldnāt mind."
Lily said with a cheeky grin, "Bathing together saves water too. Itās eco friendly. I support it."
"You little pervert, youāre hopeless. After your bath, wait for me in the room."
