Dr. Sullivan glanced at Ryan Cooper, who was still vomiting nonstop in the bathroom, and said directly to Little Sister:

"Xiao Yi, go cook some noodles."

"Oh, okay."

Sister-in-law stuck out her tongue; she also felt that her brother-in-law had gone a bit too far today. She immediately left the table to go to the kitchen and prepare some instant noodles.

"Outrageous, that bastard!"

Father-in-law slapped the table and took off his glasses, shaking them. Ryan Cooper's {father-in-law} used to be a retired deputy director, always priding himself on his refined appearance. Today, his bottom line had been crossed.

"I'm going to find that guy and ask him, what exactly has our family done to wrong him! We didn't ask for a single cent of bride price when they got married, and even paid to help him open that money-losing bookstore. How have we wronged him!"

Mother-in-law was about to head to the bathroom.

"Mom, just clean up here. He's not feeling well."

Dr. Sullivan began to clear the plates on the table, which had barely been touched.

"Even now you're still defending him?" Mother-in-law couldn't hold back her anger and directly pointed at her daughter, scolding her.

"What else can I do? Who was it that threatened to hang herself to force me to get married in the first place?" Dr. Sullivan looked straight at her mother, her delicate face now appearing especially resolute.

Mother-in-law was momentarily speechless. Indeed, it was they who had forced their daughter to get married back then. They were desperate for a grandchild, so they went to great lengths to bring in Ryan Cooper as a live-in son-in-law. At the time, it seemed simple: she and her husband only had two daughters, so they had no choice but to bring in a son-in-law, and the grandchild would carry their family name. Plus, Ryan Cooper's parents were both gone, and he was a college graduate, so he fit the bill.

"I'm not eating anymore."

Father-in-law didn't dare meet his daughter's gaze. He had been the one to make the final decision back then. Now, thinking back, he realized he had indeed wronged his daughter. He got up and went back to his study.

"Hey, old man, you have stomach problems!" Mother-in-law called out anxiously.

"Mom, bring Dad a bowl of noodles later."

Dr. Sullivan finished clearing the table and then walked toward the bathroom.

Mother-in-law watched her daughter's back and said nothing more.

Pushing open the glass door of the bathroom, Dr. Sullivan saw Eric Carter kneeling by the toilet, one hand gripping the edge of the toilet, the other clutching his chest.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm okay." Eric Carter replied. He had felt fine before dinner, but as soon as he was about to eat, he suddenly became like this.

"I asked Xiao Yi to cook some noodles. You can eat a bit later..."

"Ugh..."

At the thought of noodles, Eric Carter felt a strong wave of nausea rise from deep inside, and he started dry heaving again.

Autumn Sullivan frowned slightly.

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No, it's fine. I won't eat anymore."

Eric Carter waved his hand and, forcing himself, stood up to rinse his mouth and wash his face at the sink.

Tonight's dinner was destined to end in discord.

Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, and Sister-in-law lived on the first floor, while the bedroom of Eric Carter and Autumn Sullivan was on the second floor.

After cleaning up, Eric Carter took a shower as well. Not knowing where his change of clothes was, he simply didn't change, still wearing his previous clothes and with wet hair as he went upstairs. As soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he saw Autumn Sullivan showering in the second-floor bathroom.

Eric Carter stood at the bathroom door for a while, watching the graceful figure reflected inside, and lightly licked his lips.

People are always most impulsive at times like this. Of course, it's also when they're most grateful.

"Thank you," Eric Carter silently said in his heart.

This was the first time in two days since coming back to life in another's body that Eric Carter had given that unlucky guy Ryan Cooper a thumbs up.

Although you left behind an extremely troublesome set of relationships, your wife is truly beautiful.

With a bit of fantasy, a bit of excitement, a bit of restlessness, and a bit of hope,

Eric Carter pushed open the bedroom door,

Then,

Eric Carter's expression changed, and he bit his lip,

In his heart, he dragged out Ryan Cooper, whom he had just praised, and mentally beat him a thousand times over.

The bedroom was very large,

A big bed,

And next to the big bed,

There was a floor mat!

What does this mean? Even a fool could figure it out!

Was that guy out of his mind?

Was that guy an idiot?

What's the point of being a live-in son-in-law like this?

Eric Carter took three deep breaths in a row, then silently lay down on the floor mat.

Sleep,

No more fussing,

No more thinking.

See if I can make some money, move out on my own, and then, whether it's divorce or whatever, resolve this complicated relationship. There are still many problems to face after coming back to life in another's body.

Autumn Sullivan finished her shower and came out, wearing a blue nightgown. The nightgown was a bit puffy and looked a little too big on her.

Lying on the floor mat, Eric Carter subconsciously swallowed.

"Get up," Autumn Sullivan said.

"Huh?"

"It's always been you sleeping on the bed and me on the floor mat," Autumn Sullivan said.

"..." Eric Carter silently got up and climbed onto the bed.

Autumn Sullivan turned off the light and lay down on the floor mat.

Perhaps this was her way of compensating for not wanting to share a bed with Ryan Cooper—she slept on the floor.

Eric Carter sighed,

And got ready to sleep.
