The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine-Chapter 396 - Enemies

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Finn Taylor had indeed been in quite a daze recently.?‘I’ve always been thinking about why I’ve been so frazzled lately, as though there’s nothing to look forward to in life. I guess bystanders see a clearer picture of the situation. It didn’t even take long for Master to identify my problem. The reason I’m having all these problems is that I’m missing someone—Yvette.’?

In his master’s opinion, the two people who mattered most to Finn Taylor were his grandpa and his wife.

At the present moment, nobody knew if his grandpa was dead or alive. Rumor had it that his grandpa was dead. It had been years since then, yet nobody had even seen his corpse.

Logically speaking, someone must’ve been able to find his corpse since he was such a well-known figure. However, they hadn’t received any news regarding that even after all these years.

Due to this, Finn Taylor couldn’t help but hold out hope that his grandpa was still alive but was bound by his circumstances and couldn’t show himself. There were two possibilities for that: He could be hiding on his own accord, or someone could be holding him captive.

Yet, Finn Taylor didn’t think that his grandpa would voluntarily go into hiding since the family was now faced with a life-and-death situation.

The family was on the verge of crumbling at any moment. In fact, nobody in the family even knew if they would be able to survive through the day.

If South-East Asia’s Taylor family defeated them, everyone from the Chicago branch would have to die—including Finn Taylor.

His grandpa treated him the best, and he knew that his grandpa would never leave him in the lurch if he were to be in such grave danger—not unless his grandpa was locked up.

Some time ago, he received a tip that his grandpa could be locked up in Mars. It wasn’t the planet they were talking about but a prison.

He had heard of that place’s existence, but nobody had been able to prove it.

It wasn’t just his grandpa. Rumor had it that many legendary figures had been sent to Mars after disappearing into thin air.

Now that his grandpa was missing, there was only one other person on Finn Taylor’s mind—his wife. Although he had gotten a divorce from her, it was a fake one. Even so, he couldn’t afford to contact her or get in touch with her for the time being.

It had been fine with him at the beginning, but time was taking its toll on him.

“Have you thought it through? Are you going back for her?”

To be honest, Finn Taylor hadn’t made up his mind.?‘Is this a good time to look for her? I spent so much time and effort protecting Yvette by staying apart from her. I promised to only return to her side when I completely defeated South-East Asia’s Taylor family, but that isn’t going to happen in the short term. Without that happening, I can’t get back together with Yvette. With time, our relationship will only deteriorate. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. Both choices seem like the wrong decision.’?

Finn Taylor was in a dilemma.?‘I shouldn’t have divorced Yvette in the first place. Why did I do that?’?

“You’re right. I’m going to look for her.” Finn Taylor made up his mind.?‘Since I’m not going to be able to defeat South-East Asia’s Taylor family in a short time, I have to keep my beloved by my side at the very least. That person is none other than Yvette Larson.’?

He then made a call to the woman, asking to meet her at Starbucks. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

The woman was visibly emotional upon receiving the call. For some reason, she felt as though something was going to happen. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

The couple finally met, and they ran into each other’s embrace.

They hadn’t been apart for long. It had only been a couple of months, yet it seemed like centuries to the couple because they loved each other deeply and hated the idea of being apart. However, circumstances had forced them apart.

Now, they had finally gotten the chance to meet each other and through each other’s gazes. They could feel love, the warmth of family, protection, and hope.

They had gone through too much over the past three years. It wasn’t just Finn Taylor, but Yvette Larson as well. While denigrating the former, they would often drag the woman in too.

They would always go on about how Yvette Larson found a useless husband. Although the latter tried to argue for herself, saying that she had no feelings for her husband, had been forced into the marriage, and that she had nothing to do with Finn Taylor, she was clear in her heart that they were a couple.

She would never be able to deny that. When others humiliated her husband, they were doing the same to her. They were a team and couldn’t be split.

“I’m sorry for causing you to suffer. It was my fault for leaving without telling you anything.”

“No, I know the truth. If not for Mom, you wouldn’t have left me.” Yvette Larson was understanding and knew why her husband had chosen to leave her.?‘If not for my mother’s persuasion, Finn never would’ve left me. Just think about how Finn is and how Mom is.’?

“Actually, you shouldn’t blame her—she only did that for your good. However, I still want to verify something.”

“What is it?”

“I heard that she’s gotten quite close to Melanie Taylor recently.”

Disbelief was written all over Yvette Larson’s face.?‘How could Mom get close to that woman? She’s our mortal enemy!’
