Chapter 203 Son-in-law, You're Back!
Alex's tall figure stood at the entrance. As soon as he came home, he noticed something unusual because the TV was too loud.
He squinted his eyes, cautiously eyeing the three strangers in the living room, his handsome and noble brow furrowing deeply.
As usual, two maids greeted him respectfully. One helped him take off his coat while the other bent down to offer him slippers.
Alex handed his coat to the maid but did not change into slippers. In a deep voice, he asked, "Who are they in the living room?"
The two maids exchanged a complicated look. One of them answered reluctantly, "Mr. Melville, they are Mrs. Melville's parents and sister, but they..."
The maid fell silent halfway through.
She didn't know how to describe the situation of Mrs. Melville introducing the 'new Mrs. Melville' today. It was too complicated, and they still hadn't figured out what was going on.
Seeing the hesitant response, Alex's brows knitted in impatience. "But what? Continue!"
The maid felt pressured and was at a loss for words, afraid of saying something wrong and angering Mr. Melville.
Butler Anton stepped in just in time and took over the conversation, replying, "Mr. Melville, you're back! They are Mrs. Melville's parents and sister. They came to see Mrs. Melville this morning."
Katherine's parents and sister?
Alex strode out of the entrance, his gaze towards the living room no longer as cold as before.
In the past, he and Katherine were merely in a cooperative relationship, so he didn't pay attention to her family from her maiden home.
Now, it was different. He wanted to have a good life with her, so it was necessary to meet her family to show his respect.
"Where is she?"
The man naturally asked, and when he mentioned 'her,' his deep, cold voice softened a bit.
Anton's expression grew somewhat complicated when referring to Mrs. Melville. He replied, "Uh... Mrs. Melville is in her room, probably still packing her luggage, saying she wants to make room for her sister."
Packing her luggage?
Alex frowned. What's going on now?
What's that little cutie up to now?
Just as Anton was about to explain everything that happened today in detail to Mr. Melville...
In the living room, Sherry had just finished her dessert and was about to go to the bathroom. As soon as she got up, she saw the strikingly handsome man standing at the door, whose presence was so strong that one couldn't look away!
Her eyes lit up, and she excitedly called out, "Mr. Melville, you're back!"
Alex hadn't finished hearing Anton's explanation of today's events, only catching half of it. Anton had yet to get to the main point.
So, he needed help understanding the specific situation.
Naturally, he was more courteous to Katherine's family.
As he nodded, the man maintained his indifferent expression while observing the graceful approach of Sherry. "Hello, welcome."
It was rare for this supremely noble man to offer such a lukewarm "Hello, welcome."Sherry's heart raced, feeling somewhat flattered!
She believed that Mr. Melville must have a good impression of her. Otherwise, why would he be so friendly and polite?
A man who appeared so aloof and proud actually welcomed her personally. Didn't that say something?
Originally, Mr. Melville was supposed to marry her! According to that woman who came yesterday, Mr. Melville had seen her in a TV show and was instantly infatuated with her. He then sent someone to her home to propose!
The reason Katherine managed to intercept the proposal was probably because she and Katherine were sisters and looked somewhat alike. Although she didn't think so, outsiders might find them quite similar!
Moreover, Katherine often went without makeup, so Mr. Melville might have mistaken her for the unadorned version of Sherry he saw on TV!
Given Mr. Melville's status, it's not surprising he might forget things. He was probably smitten by her on TV but didn't remember her face clearly.
Because of this, Katherine had the opportunity to take her place for nearly two months, taking advantage of her man!
Thinking about it made Sherry grit her teeth in anger!
Forget it. Now wasn't the time to curse Katherine. She needed to build a good relationship with Mr. Melville.
Thinking herself seductive, Sherry flirtatiously played with her meticulously styled hair. "Mr. Melville, we met before at Moonlight Manor. Do you remember?"
Alex glanced at her face. "I do have some impression."
Sherry smiled charmingly. She knew it; Mr. Melville wouldn't forget her. He had been smitten with her once, and seeing her again would stir those feelings. How could he not remember?
On the other side, Lilliannudged Joshua awake, whispering that their son-in-law had returned!
Joshua was in the middle of a pleasant dream. Hearing that his son-in-law was back, he immediately woke up, scrambling off the sofa and looking in the direction Lillian pointed.
He saw his eldest daughter Sherry talking to a tall nobleman!
That man looked like a perfectly sculpted statue, so much so that even a middle-aged man like him couldn't help but be amazed. Such an extraordinary man existed in the world.
No wonder he was the famous Mr. Melville from the foremost family, truly outstanding and exceptionally handsome!
And that extraordinary, noble man was none other than their distinguished son-in-law!
Joshua straightened his posture and walked over with the demeanor of an elder, arm in arm with his wife, Lillian.
Joshua exclaimed, "Mr. Melville, you're back. We've been waiting for you all day!"
Alex raised his noble brow, his calm gaze falling on Joshua. He nodded politely. "Sir, nice to meet you. I look forward to your guidance.."
Joshua was thrilled to hear this, feeling extremely proud, almost floating!
My God! The esteemed Mr. Melville from the foremost family was asking him for guidance?!
If his relatives from the Galatea family knew, who would dare mock him for the wedding incident or act presumptuously in front of him?
He was now the proud father-in-law of Mr. Melville from the esteemed family. Even Alex had to treat him as an elder and seek his guidance!
With the esteemed Mr. Melville as his son-in-law, Joshua would be an upper-class figure wherever he went!
