Chapter 893 Out Of Danger
There was a long pause before his father finally spoke, voice lower, but clearly caught off guard.
"Wait... What? You’re serious about that girl? She’s going to be my future daughter-in-law?"
Alexandre didn’t hesitate. "Yes," he said. Calm. Clear. Unshakable.
"What the hell?! They tried to touch my daughter-in-law?! This is war!" Alexandre’s father exploded before abruptly hanging up the call, so fast that Alexandre didn’t even have time to respond.
It was understandable, though. Alexandre had always been proper and distant, never involved in scandals or even mildly interested in women. For the longest time, his father had assumed his son intended to remain abstinent for life. So the moment he heard Alexandre was seriously pursuing a woman, it wasn’t just surprising, it was cause for celebration. His father was thrilled. In fact, he was so happy, he was already prepared to go to war for her.
Even Alexandre hadn’t expected such a drastic reaction. He was stunned by how quickly his father did a complete 180, all because of Hera. But maybe he had never realized just how much his lack of romantic involvement had worried his family. The idea that their bloodline might end with him had clearly been weighing on them.
The truth was, his father’s earlier harsh words had been a test. He wanted to see whether Alexandre was truly serious about Hera, or just being impulsive, risking conflict with powerful families over a passing infatuation.
Alexandre thought he was the one using reverse psychology, but in the end, it was his father who had outplayed him. For all of Alexandre’s brilliance and composure, his father still had the upper hand when it came to life experience and psychological tricks.
After getting the answer he wanted, Alexandre’s father wasted no time reporting the news to his wife and the family elders, who were gathered in the living room wearing anxious, scrunched-up expressions. But as soon as they heard the update, smiles lit up their faces, at least for a moment.
