Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 46

Half an hour later, Leon arrived at the clinic as usual, accompanied by Emerald. Due to the sudden marriage registration yesterday, Leon had not informed Edith in advance, so now he had to tell her the great news in person.

However, as soon as Leon parked the car, he saw a middle-aged stranger standing at the clinic's entrance.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a suit and had a gentle and refined demeanor, but also exuded an indescribable aura of authority that made people hesitate to approach him.

When he saw Leon getting out of the car, the middle-aged man seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and his eyes revealed a complex expression.

As their eyes met, even without any verbal communication, Leon, based on their blood relationship, guessed the identity of the middle-aged man before him.

However, even so, Leon couldn't help but freeze in place. He had only heard the man's voice over the phone before, but now he was face to face with him. At this moment, Leon's emotions were also complicated. For over twenty years, he and his mother had relied on each other for survival,

enduring countless hardships.

The man before him had never extended a helping hand, fulfilling only his responsibilities, and had only acknowledged their relationship due to the pressure of family business.

How could Leon's feelings not be complicated, even to the point of hatred? Emerald looked surprised and asked, "Who is this uncle?" Leon did not respond to Emerald, but instead frowned and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" The middle-aged man sighed and replied, "Of course I came to see you.

You've suffered a lot over the years." Upon hearing this, Emerald suddenly realized the true identity of the person in front of her, he was Leon's father, the head of the Arrision family, Caleb!!!

For a moment, Emerald was shocked and speechless, feeling nervous and constrained. Leon spoke coldly, "One sentence of feeling wronged is not enough to make up for everything. If you came with good intentions, you should have gone in to see my mother first instead of standing here waiting for me!" Caleb sighed again, "I know you have deep grievances.

After all, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father all these years. But there are still some things you don't understand about what happened back then." "I didn't want to abandon Edith, but things happened for a reason. So I want to ask for your forgiveness first, and then seek Edith's forgiveness."

Leon didn't give him any face and retorted, "Don't pretend to be righteous here. As the head of the Arrision family, what big deal could make you hesitate to acknowledge me? Why wait until now?" Edith's face stiffened.

He changed the subject and took a few steps forward, saying, "After you engaged with Audrey, your grandmother praised you endlessly and thought you did very well. As long as you continue to perform like this, no one in the Arrision family can shake your position."

"Sorry, let me be frank with you. I did this not for the Arrision family, but only for Emerald." Leon sneered. At this moment, Emerald finally regained her senses and quickly bowed to greet him, "Hello, Uncle Leon."

Caleb looked at Emerald up and down with a dissatisfied expression, and spoke as an elder, "As a family with the heritage of the Arrision family, it is a top priority for Leon to marry. I was strongly opposed to this matter at first. A mere second-tier family in Cuba is not qualified."

"But because Leon has made significant progress in his treatment of Audrey, and to make up for him, I am now not opposed to it. However, you must understand that marrying into the Arrision family is not a simple matter!" As soon as the words fell, Emerald's face turned pale, and she dared not argue.

Leon hugged Emerald and said sternly, "I'm sorry, Emerald is married to me, not to the Harrison family. The most important thing is that I haven't recognized my ancestry yet. You are the least qualified person to point fingers at me!" Caleb replied confidently, "l just reminded you. After all, you two are already married. I can't change that no matter how much I say. If you want to make your grandmother happy, Emerald should behave well and have a grandchild for your grandmother as soon as possible."

"Stop saying 'behave well'.It seems that I was right. You only came to me for the benefit of the family. If it weren't for that, you probably wouldn't have appeared in front of me in this lifetime. But unfortunately, I am not your puppet. I won't do what you tell me to do." Leon was completely chilled. "Leon, why can't you understand? I'm doing this for your good!" Caleb frowned.

"Don't bother with your hypocritical words. You know better than anyone what you're after. I don't have time to chat with you here. Either come in with me and apologize to my mother, or disappear immediately!" Leon shook his head in disappointment.

He had thought that this so-called father would be different after meeting him. But in the end, he only cared about the interests of the family and acted disgustingly. Leon didn't want to deal with him anymore and went straight into the room with Emerald. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Edith sitting on the bed, looking around. "Leon, who was outside just now?" Edith seemed to have heard something.

Leon didn't want to make Edith more angry and affect her recovery on this happy day. He knew that Caleb, this fake gentleman, would never come in if he didn't achieve his goal. So he glanced at Edith and put on a smile, pretending that nothing had happened. "l just met an acquaintance outside and had a chat. Emerald and I came here today to tell you some good news."

"What good news?" Edith became excited. Leon took out his marriage certificate and showed it to Edith, saying with a smile, "Mom, Emerald and I are married. From today on, you have a daughter-in-law!"

"Mom!" Emerald called out obediently. Edith's eyes lit up, and her face immediately turned rosy, as if she had recovered seven or eight points. She reached out and took the marriage certificate, looking at it as if it were a treasure. She looked up and laughed heartily, tears of joy streaming down her face.

"My Leon finally got married. I've suffered so much over the years, but I've finally waited for this day. Mom is happy, and I've never been this happy in my life!" Leon slowly squatted down and held Edith's hands, saying solemnly, "Mom, there's something that will make you even happier. Just wait and see. Whether it's Adeline, Caleb, or even that so-called grandmother, I will make these people pay the price!"
