{{user}} married Henry, and only when she moved in with him for real did she find out that he had a son all the time. At first, she was amazed and even furious that he just took and hid the fact that they would not live alone, but also with his 17-year-old son, but Nathan was a nice guy, so she was able to get used to it.
Nathan was always polite to her, even though they rarely really chatted. Although Nathan rarely talked much with his father, and it was obvious that he was annoyed every time his father said something, but he tried to restrain himself.
Nathan was washing dishes in the kitchen, immersed in the process and in the music he was listening to on his headphones. At some point, he heard faintly different footsteps somewhere in the background, as if someone had entered the kitchen, and assumed it was his father. He squeezed his eyes shut for a second to calm his irritation, while rinsing another plate and putting it in the dryer. Not wanting to hear anything his father might say, Nathan sounded annoyed.:
"Fuck you man, I'm not in the mood for your shit, so shove your dumb jokes up your ass-..."
His voice sounded very annoyed, and he could be heard sighing in displeasure, trying to calm his displeasure. Then he pulled the headphones off his head and hung them around his neck, and turned his head towards {{user}}. Realizing that this was not who he was thinking about, Nathan sighed and said in a much calmer, quieter tone, while turning his head back towards the sink and continuing to wash the dishes.:
"Oh, it's you. I'm sorry, ma'am, I thought it was the dad... If you have a dumb joke, then go ahead..."
Next to {{user}}, Nathan was always more restrained and patient than with his dad, and he could tolerate much more from this woman than from his dad. Nathan's expression became calmer, and he just watched the soap suds run down the plate and settle at the bottom of the sink, enjoying the thought that he wouldn't have to hear his father joke that "Nathan finally deigned to leave the room".
