“Fine, we’re going to the White Alley now.”
As soon as the taxi reached the White family’s house, Natalie got out of the car while Sebastian followed closely behind with his coat.
After walking into the house, Natalie headed straight to her own room.
When Johanna saw Natalie walk in with a very angry look again, she immediately put down her tea cup and quickly got up to ask,
“Who on earth made you so angry? You were happy when you left the house this morning.”
Without saying a word to her mother, Natalie snorted at Sebastian behind her, walked past Johanna, went into her room, and closed the door.
Johanna looked at Sebastian who was standing in the doorway.So, it was Sebastian again?
“Why did you guys fight again?” Johanna asked in an anxious voice.
Sebastian nearly bumped into the door when Natalie shut it behind her.He touched his nose with a finger without saying a word.
Johanna shook her head and headed back to the sofa to watch the rest of her TV show.
Coincidentally, Beal just came out of the kitchen after having prepared the fruit platter.He placed the plate in front of Johanna.
After that, he went back to ask Sebastian, “Did you somehow manage to piss Natalie off again?”
Beal adjusted his glasses and turned to look at Sebastian.
Suddenly, he had the feeling that Sebastian was a bit like him when he was young.
The look on Sebastian’s face was exactly the same as his whenever he had pissed Johanna off.It really seemed like Sebastian and he were indeed sharing the same fate.
At this moment, Sebastian had no idea what was on his father-in-law’s mind.
He smiled dejectedly at him and said, “There’s some sort of misunderstanding between me and Natalie.It turns out it’s all my fault.”
Beal said, “It’s actually very common for young couples to have conflicts and misunderstandings during the course of their relationship.Life is full of ups and downs.It’s inevitable that the two of you will quarrel.As long as the misunderstandings are cleared up in the end, there shouldn’t be a problem.”
Looking at Beal’s calm expression, Sebastian knew that he must have experienced this firsthand.
“I have no clue how to make her feel better.I feel that everything I try to do is wrong.”
Sebastian let out a long sigh.
“Sometimes you’ll feel that even though you didn’t do anything wrong and even though you have sincerely apologized, your wife still won’t forgive you.Does that ever happen to you?” Beal asked eagerly.
Sebastian nodded obediently.
Beal clapped his hands and said in a firm voice, “That’s right! That’s exactly how Johanna is.They’re really mother and daughter.Whenever they get angry, there’s no way they’ll listen to reason.”
It really looked like he had finally found someone who could understand him.
He then began to complain to Sebastian, “You have no idea what I’ve gone through all these years.Natalie must really be like her mother.Whenever she gets angry, it’s hard for her to listen to anyone.And when you make another mistake in the future, she’ll bring up the past again.Am I right?”
Sebastian overall had the same feeling.
After listening carefully to Beal’s words, he mulled it over in his head for a while and nodded.
“Let’s work together from now on.Don’t worry about it.I’ll help you with Natalie,”
Beal whispered in Sebastian’s ear.
Sebastian didn’t really believe Beal could actually help him out.
After all, he happened to be a hen-pecked husband.He didn’t even have a say in the White household.
However, Sebastian had nowhere else to turn to now.
“So, what’s your suggestion, Mr.White?”
“Waiting around here is pointless.Would you like to have a drink with me instead? I’ll tell you my experiences in regard to my marriage,” Beal said as he clutched Sebastian’s arm.
Sebastian nodded.
After that, he followed Beal to the indoor bar to have a drink.
They drank together at the bar counter located in the dining room.
After so many years Beal finally found someone who was in a similar situation as him.
“Even though Johanna has a bad temper, whenever I’m angry, she’ll lower herself to try and comfort me.”
Thinking about the way Beal humbled himself to serve the fruit platter to Johanna while she was watching TV, Sebastian really doubted the authenticity of his words.
But he didn’t say anything in regard to that matter.He took a sip of his wine and listened quietly while holding the glass in his hand.
Seeing the serious expression on Sebastian’s face, Beal immediately became talkative.
“Johanna actually has the same character as Natalie.You can’t be overly good to them.Sometimes, you need to act tough and lay down the law.Back then, Johanna was a fierce business woman, but under my persuasion, she still went back to the family and became a housewife,” Beal said as if he was proud of himself.
“That’s how clever I was.What you need to do to tame your wife…”
“Mr.White, you’re drunk right now.”
Sebastian suddenly caught a glimpse of the woman at the door and immediately interrupted Beal’s rant.
Beal shook his hand and said in a serious voice, “What the hell are you talking about? I’ve only drank two glasses of wine.I’m totally sober!”
Sebastian kept winking at him to secretly signal to him that someone was at the door.
However, Beal didn’t notice Sebastian’s hint at all and went on to talk about his methods of taming Johanna.
Sebastian had to get up and interrupt him, “Mr.White, I think I want to head to bed now.”
After hearing this, Beal finally felt something was wrong and looked back at the door of the dining room.
Johanna was standing by the door for who knew how long, with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at the two of them with a smile on her face.
It appeared that she had heard everything She gave Beal a calm look and said, “Go on, I want to learn about your ways of taming your wife.”
The next second, Beal stood up at once like a misbehaved school kid.
He forced out a smile and said awkwardly, “Honey…”
“Let’s go back to our room! And talk about what you just said!”
Johanna’s face suddenly turned serious and her eyes looked so intimidating that even Sebastian was startled when he turned to look at her.

Beal bowed his head down and followed Johanna into their room quietly.
That night, Natalie still didn’t allow Sebastian to enter her room, so he had no other choice but to sleep in the guest bedroom.
On the next morning, when Sebastian heard some noises, he made his way out of the bedroom and saw that Natalie was wearing beautiful clothes and changing her shoes with a bag in her hand at the door.
It looked like she was going out.
Sebastian made his way up to her and said, “Honey, I’ll drive you wherever you want to go.”
Natalie didn’t even bother to look at him and simply ignored him.She put on her shoes, turned around, and proceeded to leave the house.
In the next few days, Sebastian had been staying with the Whites.
Natalie continued to ignore him as if he wasn’t there at all.He was just like an invisible guest in their home that she couldn’t care less about.
