Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 24 The Secretary Does It All

Heather remained silent but was disappointed in Alex all the same.

After dinner, she helped Stanley with his homework while Alex lay on a mattress on the floor, playing games on his phone.

After Heather came out from her bath, she felt an inexplicable sense of frustration when she saw Alex on the mattress.

“Do you intend to sleep on the mattress forever?” Heather snorted.

“I don’t mind either way.” Alex replied plainly.

Heather flew into a rage and threw a pillow at him.

Alex caught it and placed it under his head, making Heather even angrier.

“Alright then, have fun sleeping there for the rest of your life!” Heather grabbed the hairdryer angrily and ignored Alex.

She wanted to use this to invite Alex back onto the bed and repair their relationship.

However, it ended with her fighting with Alex. Hence, she fumed in rage and lay on the bed without a

word.

Alex felt heartbroken when he saw Heather in a fit of rage, but he could not overcome the psychological shadow of what happened in the past.

He was still angry at Heather.

The following morning, just as Alex wanted to send Stanley to school, he made an offer to Heather, “Wait for twenty minutes, and I’ll send you to work after sending Stanley.”

“I can’t afford to sit in such an expensive car,” Heather spat. She was still angry that even though she had taken the initiative to patch things up with Alex, he had not accepted it.

Yet Alex only smiled, picked Stanley’s bag up, and brought him to school. Should I get Heather a car? If I do, how expensive should it be? If it’s too expensive, I can’t explain myself and have to reveal my identity. But if it’s too cheap, I might as well not give her one!

Now that Heather did not want a divorce, he had not wanted one either.
