When Alex returned home at night, he was shocked to find guests there. They were Heather’s cousin,Grayson, and his aunt, Leah Kelly.

Carmen was chatting with them. After seeing Alex, a disdainful look appeared in Rose’s and Leah’seyes.
They looked down on a live-in son-in-law.
However, Carmen glanced at Alex and did not dare to rebel.
The traumatic memory of Alex driving his stepmother to her death was still vivid in her mind.
Since then, Carmen did not even dare to meet his gaze. Sometimes, she even had to cook personally.
Alex, who initially wanted to greet them, noticed their gazes. Hence, he gave up.
If others looked down on him, he would not embarrass himself by flattering them.
“Stanley, give me a hug.” Rose averted her gaze from Alex and smiled at the boy in anticipation of ahug.
She was a student at Nebula City College and had visited a couple of times already. Hence, Stanleyknew her.
“Aunt Rose, I want ice-cream, but Daddy won’t buy it for me.” Stanley flung Alex’s hand away and ranto Rose.
“Your dad is too poor to buy it. Let’s go! I’ll buy you one.” She took Stanley’s bag off and tossed it onthe sofa. Then she carried Stanley and prepared to leave the house.
“Don’t buy so much sweet stuff for him,” reminded Alex.
“What’s wrong with a child wanting to eat sweet stuff? You’re a man who lives off a woman. If you can’tafford it, don’t say anything. Rose can afford to buy Stanley some snacks.” Leah looked at Alexmockingly.

He could not be bothered to argue with Leah and the rest. They would just mock him more.
Glancing at the time, he carried the groceries and walked to the kitchen, preparing to cook,
Leah side-eyed Alex, who was busy preparing in the kitchen. “It’s such a pity that Heather married ahouse-husband. With her beauty, she could’ve married a wealthy man and you wouldn’t have to live insuch a small house.”
Carmen turned her head and glanced at the kitchen. When she saw that Alex was too busy to careabout them, she whispered, “Yeah! Other than cook, this piece of trash knows nothing. I’ve toldHeather many times to divorce him, but I don’t know what spell she’s under. She keeps refusing to geta divorce! Leah, you have no idea how difficult my life is.”
“I’ll talk to Heather later. She’s so attractive even after giving birth to a child. She could still remarry arich guy. Anyone would be better than a man who lives off his wife.”
Carmen nodded. Soon, Heather returned home from work.
“Hi, Leah!” Heather called out.
Leah waved at her and said, “Heather, come here. I want to have a good talk with you.”
Smiling, Heather spun around and tossed her handbag onto the bed in the bedroom. Then she walkedto Leah and sat down opposite her.
“Heather, what were you thinking about back then? Why did vou marry a man
who lives off a woman?”
Leah shook her head and sighed, “You were the most beautiful woman in Nebula City. The menpursuing you could form a line from the western to eastern coast! Any of them would be better thanAlex.”
Heather smiled awkwardly and kept quiet.
To be honest, she also regretted her impulsive decision back then.
Although Alex was the second eldest son of the Jefferson family in Lumenopolis, he refused to inheritthe family’s assets, which were worth hundreds of billions. Instead, he left everything to his elderbrother. Was this not the act of a foolish man?
Because of this, she argued with Alex many times.
She tried everything, but Alex was just a stubborn ox who would not budge no matter what she did.
