His Lordship Alexander Kane

Alexander smiled and nodded. He gestured to the dishes. “Dad, Mom, let’s eat! The food is getting cold!” Susanne and Patrick picked up their cutlery before putting it in front of them once more. They looked serious.

Ever since Alexander bought the Porsche, they felt that he was a totally different person from before. They never would have thought that

he would get the powerful George Severn to serve him.

This was way beyond their imagination!

“You've amassed quite the wealth, Alex.” Susanne was the first to break the silence. “Just a little.” Alexander said modestly.

“You also know how to fight,” Amber chimed in.

“Just a little here and there.” Alexander took a bite of his food. He remained modest.

Amber pouted. She could still remember how shocking it was when Alexander fought dozens of men at the construction site the other day.

Patrick hesitated for a while before asking. “Alex, can my leg be healed?”

“Just trust me, Dad. | promise you I'll find someone good for you,” promised Alexander solemnly. Those who knew him knew that he

always kept his promise.

Patrick’s eyes reddened as he nodded slightly. For so many years, this was the first time he felt so assured. He looked at Alexander for a

while before wiping away the tears at the corner of his eyes.

Then, he took a deep breath and filled up his glass with wine. He passed the wine to Alexander, who quickly accepted it.

“Alex, the problem with my leg is pretty stubborn. | don’t have much hope for it, but I’m still really grateful to hear what you said.” Patrick, who barely took any alcohol, downed the wine in one go. He coughed violently, but his gaze was filled with excitement. Susanne did not stop Patrick. She knew him well. She knew how much he wanted healthy legs.

Alexander politely stood up and raised his glass to Patrick as well before downing the wine. He then opened a bottle of Hennessy. He let it

aerate for a while before pouring them into glasses elegantly. Amber and Susanne’s eyes brightened when they saw how swiftly Alexander moved.

“This one’s for you, Mom and Dad. If it weren’t for you, Amber wouldn't be here. | wouldn't be here either!” Alexander inhaled and downed

his glass. Susanne also raised her glass. Although she was not used to drinking, she still insisted on finishing her glass.

After a few rounds of alcohol, the atmosphere became much livelier. Alexander and Patrick warmed up to each other as if they were father and son. They played games and chatted happily.

Amber and Susanne were worried for Patrick. They tried to advise him to slow down on the drinking, but seeing them happy together, they

said nothing. It was a rare treat to see Patrick smiling, so they let him relax and have fun. Susanne was a little moved to see such a scene.

She used to not like Alexander. She thought he was not good enough for their family. Since he went missing for so many years, of course, he was not good enough for Amber either.

At that moment, the matters of the past were explained. She finally understood Alexander a little more. Instead, she felt that Amber was not good enough for him. “Alex, | know you have money, but don’t spend too much on us. We...can’t ever pay you back,” Susanne said after much

hesitation, firmly yet politely. After all, she was not one to bow to anyone who had money, even if her family was not wealthy.

Alexander took a sip of wine. He smiled and said gently, “Mom, I’m an orphan. The first dish | ever had as a family was made by you. I’m really happy in this family. | feel really safe. You two are like my parents! | promise to take care of you your entire life together with Amber.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

His words were truly from the neart.

Susanne’s eyes instantly reddened. She suddenly blamed herself a little. She had treated her son-in-law very badly in the past.

“Alex, my dear child, we see how well you care for us. Although we're poor, as long as you don’t mind, we'll always welcome you.!”

Susanne’s eyes reddened even more. Alexander looked calm, but he felt inwardly invigorated.

All the things he had done previously had all paid off. His parents-in-law had finally accepted him!
