CHAPTER 39: WOMEN’S STRANGE RELATIONSHIP

The master bedroom downstairs, probably because her daughter was home and she felt more at ease, Ruth changed into the usual spaghetti strap dress she wore at home, the lighter and more comfortable one. Of course, she was still wearing a bra, which felt a bit odd.

One could admire the incredibly deep cleavage, the snow-white flesh of her breasts, and the flushed, post-shower glow on Mother-in-law Ruth’s face, making her exceptionally charming and exuding a strong hormonal allure.

As soon as Luis entered, he stared brazenly, and Ruth seemed accustomed to it, even feeling a faint pride in her own attractiveness.

Lily naturally sat on her mother’s bed, and Luis unceremoniously followed, lying down casually like the man of the house, even resting his head directly on Father-in-law Arthur’s pillow.

Lily didn’t think much of it, but Ruth gave him a sidelong glance, feeling a bit strange, recalling her son-in-law’s odd words.

"Mom, I’ll take Dad’s place and take good care of you..."

The mother and daughter shared almost everything, but when it came to Nancy, they held back a little, not wanting to badmouth her too much in front of Luis.

"Today I was just so pissed, those idiots Yana and Kiara!"

The strange friendship between Mother-in-law Ruth and her girlfriends involved cursing each other to their faces while talking behind each other’s backs when apart. Yet, they still called themselves childhood besties, often gathering to play cards or something.

They even went for beauty treatments or shopping for Luis’s clothes together, occasionally traveling nearby for meals. But whenever they opened their mouths, the first words out were always curses.

"Power outage?"

The cause was a community notice about a planned power outage lasting a full day and night to upgrade the aging electrical lines, a perfectly normal situation in daily life.

But Mother-in-law Ruth ended up being mocked, especially by Yana, the pretty young wife, who "kindly" invited Ruth to spend the night at her place, since sleeping without AC in this weather was practically impossible.

Ruth grew angrier the more she thought about it, gritting her teeth and saying, "That slut, that bitch, clearly mocking me."

It wasn’t that Ruth had a persecution complex. Back when this area was being demolished, Yana’s then-still-alive husband and Arthur were both considered big shots in the relocation.

But Arthur chose these two one-bedroom, two-living-room units to create a duplex for the mother and her three daughters, while the rest of the money was diverted for business—or, according to the Wood family, spent on that vixen of a mistress.

Yana, on the other hand, didn’t take the property but opted for cash compensation. Her husband later borrowed some money and bought a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with a large balcony in the Sky Garden across the street, a luxurious 120-square-meter home.

The Wood family’s so-called duplex was just a cheap knockoff project, with the upper and lower floors combined barely exceeding 80 square meters, making it very cramped.

Worse, this was a resettlement community with practically no greenery or amenities, and the property management was nonexistent, leaving it dirty, chaotic, and unpleasant. At 500 dollars per square meter, it was practically unsellable.

Things were still somewhat manageable now, but once the elevators aged and other issues arose, living here would become unbearable, which was why many had already sold their units.

In contrast, the Sky Garden across the street, developed by Tiger Real Estate, was a local high-end project with greenery and overall environmental quality far superior to this side.

And the Sky Garden was the city’s largest and most luxurious real estate project, with four phases, including riverside villas, where even ordinary units started at over 1,000 dollars per square meter—double the price.

Locals joked that one side of the street was the slums for the native poor, while the other was the rich district for the local elite.

Ruth fumed, "She just wants to show off her place, always bragging about how much it’s appreciated. It pisses me off."

Lily said helplessly, "Mom, why get mad over this? We live our own lives."

"You don’t get it, that bitch is doing it on purpose, damn it."

Ruth was seething, while Lily found it amusing but didn’t say much. After all, the strange friendship between her mother and her girlfriends was hard for outsiders to understand.

But for Luis, this was a great opportunity. His eyes lit up as he quickly tried to please her, saying, "Mom, don’t be angry. If she brings it up again tomorrow, just ignore her. Tell her we’re spending the night at Ocean World instead."

Ocean Grand Hotel, the city’s largest ultra-five-star hotel complex, was located on Seaview Road and covered a vast area with extreme luxury. Ocean World, its attached bath and leisure center, was also the city’s largest and most high-end.

"Yeah, just brush it off!"

Mother and daughter didn’t take it seriously, casually mentioning it before Luis hugged his wife and returned to their room.

Once the door closed, they locked lips, and the sparks instantly ignited. The lust stirred up earlier by sister-in-law Leah and Avery now flared up fiercely.

The faint sounds of passionate moans seeped through the walls—the poor soundproofing of this shabby place was no joke. Not only did sister-in-law Leah next door blush upon hearing it, but even Ruth downstairs, already in bed, felt her face heat up.

Her daughter’s satisfied moans were like a cat in heat, claws scratching at one’s heart, making it unbearably itchy.

The sounds continued intermittently for over ten minutes. Ruth couldn’t take it anymore, squirming restlessly under the covers, her hand unconsciously reaching under the pillow for her vibrator.

The buzzing sound made her freeze—the vibrator should’ve been out of battery. And when she touched it, the size and shape didn’t match the one she’d used before. The vibrations were stronger too.

Ruth abruptly sat up, turned on the light, and looked at the vibrator.

Not only was the shape different, but even the color had changed. Ruth was shocked. She reached back into the hiding spot and pulled out a note.

Written in neat handwriting was: "Mom, this is a high-end one. Hope you enjoy it."

The handwriting was unmistakably her son-in-law Luis’s, and only he knew this secret—not even her husband Arthur was aware.

"That damn little pervert, what kind of son-in-law gives his mother-in-law something like this as a gift..."

Ruth’s face burned red. She turned off the light and lay back down, placing the vibrator aside, torn between anger and amusement, thinking she should just sleep.

But her daughter’s moans continued, faint yet melodious, making it impossible to calm down, especially with her already restless, lustful body.

"Little bastard..."

Ruth, as if possessed, couldn’t control herself. She took off her nightgown, picked up the vibrator her son-in-law had given her, glanced at it with misty eyes, and turned it on before slipping it under the covers.

The buzzing grew muffled, and Ruth moaned in pleasure, biting her lower lip as she secretly used both hands to pleasure her mature, thirsty body under the covers.

Closing her eyes, all she could see was the image of her son-in-law thrusting into her daughter that night, making her fantasize about what position he was using to enjoy her daughter’s body right now.

A night of rippling desires. Watching his wife climax repeatedly until she passed out, Luis was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

He didn’t ejaculate, just kissed her gently, wiped her body with a towel, and held her as they fell asleep together.

The next day, life resumed as usual. Lily woke up early and went to work, while Ruth was nowhere to be seen.

As soon as Luis opened his door, Leah rushed out. "Stinky brother-in-law, lazy bum, finally awake? The sun’s already up."

But the moment she saw him, her smile froze. She covered her eyes and shrieked before darting back into her room. "Stinky brother-in-law, you pervert!"

The couple was practically used to sleeping naked, and Luis didn’t even bother putting on underwear when he got up. Seeing his sister-in-law scared amused him, and he just grinned, yawning as he rubbed his eyes and headed to the bathroom.

"Brother-in-law, I’m starving!"

Once Luis returned to his room and got dressed, Leah came back, pouting. "Second Sis said not to disturb you and let you rest. See how good I am?"

Luis packed his things and lit a cigarette, laughing. "Hungry? There’s food in the fridge. There’s instant noodles at home, or you could go downstairs for a bowl of ramen."

"No way! I want my exhibitionist brother-in-law to treat me to a feast. I have to go back to school this afternoon."

The city’s No. 1 High School’s training was exhausting, split into two phases. The first phase, involving drills, was already over. The second phase was a closed-campus session, and students had to return that afternoon to settle into their dorms.

"Fine, what do you want to eat?"

"Brother-in-law is the best! I want BBQ!"

After packing up, Luis took her to a nearby Korean BBQ place. Leah eagerly grabbed the menu and ordered a bunch, while Luis smirked and added ox penis and lamb penis to the list.

"Brother-in-law!"

Once the meat arrived, Leah obediently picked up the tongs to grill it, giggling. "Brother-in-law, I’ll grill. You just eat. You’ve been so tired lately."

She meant he’d been busy running around for her sake, but Luis wouldn’t miss the chance to tease her. His smile instantly turned lewd.

"Yeah, I’ve been exhausted, but your sister’s satisfied. I’d die happy."

Leah froze for a second before blushing, realizing what he meant—she’d listened to her sister moaning all night.
