The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 840

Ferris's father smiled. "Your mom really dotes on you. We barely ate anything at the wedding today, and our stomachs are just full of alcohol, yet she's only worried about you. It's like the two of us men are completely obsolete."

Vivian rolled her eyes at him. "You and Ferris have thick skin. Skipping a meal won't kill you, and what's wrong with a few drinks? But Selena is different. She's pregnant and needs to be pampered right now. She can't go hungry. Isn't it only right that I fuss over her a bit more?"

She shot him another glare. "What, are you actually jealous of Selena?"

"Oh, I wouldn't dare." Ferris's father chuckled.

He paused, a nostalgic smile on his face. "I remember when we first got married, Vivian. You used to call me 'Hubby' and 'Darling' non-stop. So many years have passed, and now the 'Hubby' and 'Darling' are gone. Ever since Selena came along, I've officially been demoted to a useless old man!"

He sighed dramatically. "Times really have changed. I'm completely out of favor now."

Vivian chuckled, giving his shoulder a light slap. "Alright, enough with the nonsense. Why are you saying all this in front of the kids?"

She pulled my hand, making me sit beside her. "Selena, ignore him. Sit down and drink your soup."

"Mom, should we give this to Dad first?" Feeling a bit guilty, I picked up the bowl of soup in front of me, wanting to pass it to my father-in-law.

He quickly stood up. "Oh, don't do that. I was just joking with your mother. Don't take it seriously. Drink it while it's hot."

"It's all your fault, talking nonsense in front of the kids. Now you've made her take it seriously!" Vivian glared at him, looking quite dissatisfied.

He just looked delighted. "I can see that Selena is filial and sensible, much better than that foolish boy who only knows how to cause trouble for me!"

Beside me, Ferris sighed. "Great. Ever since you two got a daughter-in-law, one of you ignores me completely, and the other calls me a foolish boy who only causes trouble."
