Chapter 305
Alex sat at a booth on the third floor, right by the window, staring at the woman sitting across from him. He was itching to make a move, as if, were it not in public, he could knock the chair over and lean on her.
Alex said, “Ms. Jefferson, honestly, . I’m not asking for much. After we get married. I want eight kids, boys and girls, both
Scarlett was stunned
Alex continued. “I’m not sure if my mom told you, but I’ve been to prison. I spent five whole years there without a woman.
“If you like me, we’ll marry right away, and as my wife, you’re gonna have to cooperate with me when it comes to… sexual life. If you can’t handle it.. I’ll keep mistresses, but you can’t complain about it.”
Scarlett frowned.
Alex wasn’t done. After we get married, you can’t always be running back to your parenti‘ place, taking stuff from me to give to them, asking me to help your family financially.
Hearing that, Scarlett tried to hold back her anger.
I
Alex continued, “Also, I won’t be contributing any money to the wedding, so all the expenses will be on your family. After we get married, we’ll split everything 30/50.
“We’ll do a pre–marital property agreement, but
ut don’t worry, I may not support you financially, but no matter how many kids you have, I’ll take care of them. Also, you must
“I’m done?” Scarlet’s face turned pale with anger. She picked up her juice and splashed it all over Alex.
“Mr. Warren, Barry, seeing Alex drenched in orange juice, was about to step in to help, but Alex stopped him with a raised hand.
“I like you. Ms. Jefferson. You seem to be a tough woman, Alex said, sticking his tongue out to lick the juice off his face.
He then pulled out a comb from h
his pocket and started brushing his short hair back, the fresh fruit bits falling out with each stroke.
He grinned, giving the creepiest smile. “Ms. Jefferson, if you u think something’s off, we can always talk about it. If you behave well after we’re married. I might even give you some money for shopping”
Scarlett asked. “How much will you give me?”
Alex said. “One thousand dollars… no, 700 dollars. It can’t be more than that
“Fuck off?” Scarlett, fuming, started crying while calling her family to complain.
“Ms. Jefferson, let’s talk this out. I hope we can register for marriage tomorrow and move in together tonight, Alex said lazily, turning around, only to see a group of people standing nearby,
His eyes locked with Ellie’s

Eller finally understood why Layton called him a peacock. That outh… She had to say that she was amazed by it.
Seeing the woman next to Alex crying, Ellir sight
She thought,
The girl looks decent, so what is Alex complaining about? He’s been in prison for five years, and now at his age, all he has is just his handsome face. He doesn’t seem to appreciate what he owns
Alex saw Ellie frowning more and more, and on reflex, he took a step toward her to explain, but on a second thought, he grabbed Harry over to hide behind him. He pushed Harry forward and retreated to his booth to fix himself up.
Harry stumbled right in front of Ellie with his hands raised awkwardly above his head. “Dr. Thompson, it’s not what you think”
Before Ellie could say anything. Betty tilted her head and asked, “Sir, wlut was going on?”
The three little boys chimed in unison, “Yeah, what’s that supposed to mean?
Barry beutated, his words stick.
“Hey, don’t talk to this gentleman like that,” Ellie shot iefly a warning glatke
Betty tied her late head and asked Harry. “You’re not mad, are
“No, not at all” Barry quickly waved his hands. He wouldn’t dare get angry with Alex’s daughter.

suddenly, a piece of cake flew straight into Alex’s face. The cake dropped from his face to his chest and then to the floor, creamy frosting dripping from top to bottom.
Alex pointed at the girl who had thrown the cake and was about to go over when Chris hurried over, stepped on the cake, and fell, taking Alex down with him.

Alex’s face was covered in white frosting, with only his eyes visible. He pointed at himself and said, “Do you think I can help you right now?* Chris was speechless.
“No wonder you work together. It turns out you’re the same kind of people!” Scarlett, who had been on a blind date with Alex, came over and splashed a glass of water from the table onto both of them

Betty, imitating those women, started clapping along on the side, even reminding them to kick low.
