Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1185 Wait For Me To Marry You

Alex's patience had reached its limit. He raised his hand and delivered a forceful slap across the woman's face. The power behind the slap was far from gentle, causing her to fall to the ground with her face swelling up significantly.

"If you dare to speak like that again, I'll make sure you can never speak again. As for your son, if you don't discipline him, I can do it for you," Alex said coldly, his sharp gaze immediately turning to the young boy.

The little boy felt unnerved by Alex's intense gaze and started to sob. He hid behind the woman, not daring to look at Alex again.

The woman knocked to the ground by Alex raised her head only to find that her teeth had been knocked out. That undoubtedly infuriated her even more, and she screamed at Alex in a shrill voice. "Did I say something wrong? I'm just stating the facts. If you don't think she's a little where, then why haven't you married her after she had your child? Or are you just angry because I hit the nail on the head, and now you're resorting to hitting me? What kind of man hits a woman?"

"In my eyes, you're not even a person!" Alex, seeing that the woman showed no remorse, raised his hand and slapped her across the face once more.

With two slaps, the woman's face was made completely swollen by Alex, and her teeth were almost all knocked out. Finally knowing fear, she looked at Alex with submissive eyes. She didn't dare to speak fecklessly anymore, afraid that he would hit her again.

"If I ever catch you talking nonsense again, it won't be as simple as a couple of slaps. I'll make sure you can never speak again, whether you believe me or not. Don't blame me for not showing mercy when the time comes. Apologize to my daughter right now, and your son must apologize as well!" Alex said coldly, his words carrying an undeniable authority.

The woman stumbled as she got up from the ground, not daring to show the slightest hint of laziness. The aura emanating from Alex made her feel as if he wanted to kill her, so how could she dare to entertain any thoughts of disobedience?

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Sutton. It was my fault for being gossipy and speaking carelessly. I promise I won't do it again. Please, can you forgive me?" The woman, covering her swollen and disfigured face, apologized to Kate and Emmalyn.

"Mm!" Kate simply hummed in agreement, then turned her gaze to Alex. "Let's go home. I don't want to play anymore."

It was clear from Kate's words that she wasn't in a good mood, which was understandable. After all, which woman would want to be called a mistress or a little where?

"Don't be sad anymore. I've already taught that woman a lesson for you," Alex comforted.

Kate glanced at Alex and then quickly shifted her gaze away, feeling somewhat disheartened. "What they said is true! I did get pregnant before marriage, and Emma is already over a year old..." Suddenly, Kate laughed at herself and quickly changed the subject. "All right, enough about these sad things. What do you feel like eating tonight? I'll cook for you personally. I've learned a lot of cooking skills from Zack, so I'll put them to use and let you have a taste."

Alex watched Kate enter the kitchen, a hint of guilt flashed in lus eyes. Only alter today v nicidem did Unlock succeeded letting both Kate and Emmalyn down. Although the whole fame is tone together note Hale never given them a proper stutus, forcing them chittle the disdam and insuits of oilers,

Upon introspecting, Alex found it difficult to make a choice because he didn't have any feelings for Kate. The only reason he had Emmalyn was because of an accident. While I've been treating Kate like my child's mother, I didn't show her any love at all. Is that really fair for her? Helping the Sutton family was the only thing I did for Kate. This woman gave birth to a child alone and went through so much. I truly owe her and her daughter. Perhaps it's time to give her a proper status.

"What are you thinking about? Come and eat. I've made all your favorite dishes!" Kate's voice reached Alex's ears, and he finally snapped back to reality.

His fondness for Kate grew as he looked at the table full of delicious dishes. Although I can't fall in love with her, there's no denying that she truly is a good woman and will definitely be a great wife in the future.

With a firm resolution in his heart, Alex looked at Kate solemnly. "Wait for me. If I can return alive from Lumenopolis in a month, I will marry you!"
