Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 76 – Leaving would only make her look like a
joke to Melanie, so Samantha stayed with all her strong will. She also decided that she would make her
daughter divorce the piece of trash once she got home tonight. She would make sure the papers were
settled by tomorrow.
Lily thought Melanie was a little too much, but looking at Darryl beside her, she felt helpless.
’Other people’s husbands could impress their mother-in-law’s friends, but her husband? Forget it!’ Lily
thought.
At this moment, Melanie turned to Darryl and asked with a smile, “Darryl, what do you think of the gift
Jimmy bought me?”
Without looking up, Darryl replied with a flat tone, “Not bad.”
‘Not bad? What a joke. Could he afford it at all?’ Melanie thought.
At this instant, everyone in the room laughed to themselves with looks of disdain on their faces.

Darryl could no longer stand their mocking. Helplessly, he stood up and left the room.
Hahaha! This trash was too embarrassed to stay any longer? Without him, there wouldn’t be anyone to
mock. That’s no fun,’ everyone thought.
Both Melanie and Jimmy seemed disappointed that he left, though Samantha was relieved that he finally
left, or else she would have to sit through their mocking for however long. Lily wanted to follow him out to
see what he was up to, but she dismissed the thought when she considered the situation in the room.
However, three minutes later, Darryl returned.
Samantha stomped her feet in anger when the door opened. “What are you doing back here? Have you
not embarrassed me enough?”
Lily stood up and whispered, “Just wait for us in the car. What are you even doing up here?”
Darryl smiled without speaking. He had a present box in his hand.
He got this present from Drake Darby after the wedding. This was a gift to compensate for the past.
When Darryl was kicked out of the family and had married into the Lyndon family, none of the Darby
family members attended his wedding. Drake had felt guilty about this and bought Darryl the present to
make up for it.
Darryl accepted the present. However, he had no idea what was in the box, but it could not be that bad
since Drake gave it to him.
He placed the box in front of Samantha and went back to his seat. “Mom, I haven’t given you a gift in the
past three years since getting married to Lily. Here, I hope this can make up for it.”
’What? This dude went out and came back with a gift so soon?’ everyone thought.
Everyone in the room looked at the box curiously. It was exquisitely carved with flowers. The packing
itself seemed so expensive. Whatever was inside must have cost a fortune.
It was normal to think this way for an instant. However, lots of people thought otherwise.
’How expensive could the gift be since it’s coming from someone useless like him? He must have done it
just for show and to appear less embarrassed from what happened just now.’

With that in mind, everyone thought that Samantha would not have the courage to open it in front of
everyone. Even Samantha thought her useless son-in-law was just trying to make her less embarrassed,
and there was absolutely no way she would open the box to embarrass herself further.
“Darryl, it only took you a few minutes to get this present. I hope it’s not from a random stall in the night
market outside?” Jimmy mocked.
Darryl smiled politely. He was not bothered in the slightest.
“Samantha, show us what your son-in-law got you,” Melanie said with fake enthusiasm. She was ready
to mock them once Samantha opened the box. Everyone joined in, too. “Yeah, show it to us!”
“I wonder if it’ll be better than Jimmy’s.”
Samantha hesitated as she bit her lips. Even she was doubtful of Darryl’s gift. What if it turned out to be
from a night market stall? She would become the joke among them forever.
However, under the pressure of everyone, she had no choice but to open the box
Suddenly, everyone’s jaws dropped in astonishment upon seeing what was inside the box.
Samantha was startled, Lily was surprised, and the smile on Melanie and Jimmy’s faces froze instantly.
