Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1150 Edmund 

“I’ve been hanging out with Stanley for these past few days. Although eating and having fun with him feels. great, it’s not what I’m after. My current strength is far from enough. I want to know what exists beyond the realm of Grandmaster.“ Zachary’s eyes were filled with longing and a touch of yearning.

He had spent his entire life pursuing martial arts, so he was destined never to be able to live such a peaceful and stable life.

“Dad, you’ve just been released from Doomsday Prison. I haven’t had the chance to fulfill my filial duties to you. Why don’t you stay a few more days and spend some quality time with Stanley and Emmalyn? Please?” Alex pleaded.

During those few days, Zachary and Stanley developed a deep attachment with each other. Zachary knew that if he left without saying goodbye, Stanley would definitely be heartbroken. With that thought, his resolve began to waver.

Alex clearly noticed the subtle changes in Zachary’s expression. Hence, he seized the opportunity to say, “Dad, Stanley has never experienced the joy of having a grandfather by his side. I know you’ve dedicated your life to the pursuit of martial arts. If you can stay in this house for just one more month, that will be enough time. Just one month is all I ask for.”

Zachary sighed helplessly, but in the end, he agreed to Alex’s request.

In the evening, Zack deliberately cooked a table full of dishes. Although the presentation couldn’t compare to the splendor of a restaurant, the taste was incredible.

After chomping on the steak bites, Wanda licked the sauce at the corner of her mouth with satisfaction. The lingering taste left her craving more. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide in surprise at Zack, asking eagerly, “How did you make this dish? Can you teach me later?”

Upon seeing a stunning beauty who looked like a fairy talking to him, Zack blushed with embarrassment. He nervously scratched his head. “Of course, I’d be happy to teach you if you want to learn.”

Wanda’s face was full of excitement when she heard that. She immediately turned her charming eyes toward Alex and spoke sweetly. “Master, once I learn how to make this, I’ll cook it for you.”

Alex could only helplessly agree to it. It seems that there’s no way to stop her from calling me Master.

Stanley was taken care of by Zachary, so Alex had time to visit the tech dome.

Upon arriving at the tech dome, Alex saw there were still a lot of people by the elevator. Alex originally planned to take the second elevator, but a delivery person arrived at that moment. “Excuse me, you please do me a favor? I have a delivery that’s about to be overdue. Could you help me take it to the eighth floor? I’m begging you.”

Due to the constant back and forth, coupled with riding an electric bike in the sweltering heat of around forty degrees Celsius, the delivery driver was sweating profusely. Even their clothes were on the verge of being soaked through with sweat.

Seeing the delivery driver’s pleading expression, Alex ultimately couldn’t bring himself to refuse. After all, he was also going to the eighth floor. Hence, he thought he might as well help the delivery person out. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“All right. I’m going to the eighth floor anyway,” Alex said as he took the meal box from the delivery person’s hand.

When the food delivery rider saw that Alex was really willing to help him, he expressed his gratitude. Then, he hurried off to deliver the next order.

At that moment, the elevator opened again, and Alex walked in with the takeout. The elevator quickly reached the eighth floor and opened.

After glancing at the name on the takeout, he asked, “Who is Edmund Gray?”

When Alex called out the name, he realized it sounded quite familiar. He felt as if he had heard it somewhere before, but for a moment, he couldn’t quite remember where..

At that moment, a man wearing a suit and glasses approached him. Instead of immediately taking the takeaway from Alex, he adjusted his glasses and carefully examined the latter. “Hey, aren’t you my old classmate, Alex Jefferson? Long time no see!”
