The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 36: I Am...
"Alright, I’ll leave you to it," the owner said before walking off.At that very moment, a taxi pulled up in front of the barbecue restaurant. A striking young woman stepped out and hurried toward Joseph after spotting him.It was, of course, Heidi Cooper."Finally, I made it! I’m starving," Heidi panted as she sat down, immediately grabbing the tea from the table and gulping it down."Why the rush? That’s the tea for rinsing your cup," Joseph said, bemused."I don’t care. At this point, it doesn’t matter. So, did you order anything yet?" Heidi asked eagerly."Yeah, I’ve ordered some things. Take a look. Start with some of the mains, and later I’ll make you something special," Joseph said, pouring her another cup of tea."Oh, Joseph! I’ve missed your cooking so much," Heidi said, her voice softening with appreciation.Just as she finished speaking, plates of cumin lamb ribs and cold beef salad arrived at the table."Wow, you’re amazing! You always remember my favorite dishes," Heidi e

"Every month during your cycle, you experience severe pain, don’t you?" Joseph asked casually."Uh... well, that’s pretty common, right? It’s just a matter of probability. Most women I know go through it. It’s nothing unusual," Heidi replied, a bit startled."Joseph, I think you’re just guessing," she added with a playful smirk, resting her delicate chin in her hand as she looked at him teasingly."Two days from now, your cycle will start. Your pain isn’t the typical cramping most women experience. Yours feels like constant stabbing, doesn’t it? That’s different from what most women feel," Joseph continued, undeterred.Heidi’s expression shifted immediately."How... how do you know that? You’re right. My pain is different," she admitted, her tone more serious now."And during those days, you have nightmares. When you wake up, your mouth feels bitter. But once your cycle is over, the symptoms disappear. Am I right?" Joseph pressed on."You’re exactly right. But how did you know all tha

"Got it. I knew you’d be showing off your cooking skills tonight," the barbecue shop owner called out."The usual deal—charge me the regular price," Joseph added."No problem. This isn’t the first time, I know how it goes," the owner chuckled."Hey, man, I saw you cook last time. You’ve got some serious skills. That grilled fish you made—it looked and smelled amazing," said a middle-aged man sitting at a nearby table, his tone warm and friendly."Yeah, I was lucky enough to try it. This guy’s cooking is something else," echoed another diner."Not to say the barbecue owner here isn’t great—his skills are top-notch—but this guy’s on a whole different level.""Is he really that good? He must be a professional chef, right?""Professional? Even professionals can’t always make food like that."The chatter around the tables grew louder.Joseph was a regular at the barbecue shop, and on occasion, he’d step behind the grill himself. Quite a few people there knew him, and some had even had the
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 39: He Must Really Love You
"Excellent. Where is he right now?" Raymond Kim asked."Grabbing a late-night snack, with a girl. Looks like she’s from the Cooper family." Jonathan replied, a hint of pride creeping into his voice. "Mr. Kim, to be honest, I’ve spent the past few hours digging into his recent years. I’ve got everything.""Seems like you’ve been thorough." Raymond Kim smiled."Hey, when I’m working for you, Mr. Kim, I don’t leave anything to chance." Jonathan chuckled."Who did you send to follow him?" Raymond Kim asked again."Just a low-level thug from the area, goes by Scrappy. He’s got a dozen or so guys under him. This isn’t his first job for us. Mr. Kim, you remember Scrappy, right? Last time, you had him help bring a woman to your bed…" Jonathan said, taking a bite of food and sipping his drink, clearly enjoying the conversation."I remember. He gets things done." Raymond nodded slightly."Tell him, once Joseph’s finished eating, to beat the food right out of him. Make sure most of the p

At that moment, Joseph brought over two more dishes: cold clams and shrimp porridge."Wow, this is such a feast, brother-in-law! I’m going to cry… when will I get another meal like this?" Heidi gazed at the spread before her, moved almost to tears."Next time? Well, maybe we’ll have to wait until I get paid next month." Joseph smiled, teasing her."No way! Next month is far too long. I’ll take the hit and treat you instead. We can’t wait that long—I’ll starve to death living off the stuff at home." Heidi reacted dramatically, shaking her head. "Honestly, brother-in-law, I can’t live without you.""Alright, alright. You eat first. I’ve got a few more dishes to finish. I’ll bring them over once they’re done." Joseph stood up, still smiling."Be quick about it. You’ve been working all day. Once you’re done, come sit with me and eat." Heidi peeled a juicy shrimp, her words dripping with double meaning."Won't be long." Joseph answered casually before heading back to the kitchen."He

"Oh! By the way, brother-in-law, I just heard that there was a car accident at the intersection ahead. The road’s blocked, so we might not be able to catch a cab back.""I could probably walk home, but it’ll be a bit tiring. As for you, you might need to find a hotel nearby to stay for the night." Heidi suddenly remembered the news and shared it with Joseph."Cars can leave but not come through?" Joseph was puzzled."Exactly!" Heidi nodded."It’s not safe for you to walk home alone. I’ll drive you back. I came here by car, so no need to walk." Joseph smiled reassuringly."Wait, brother-in-law, you drove here? Where did you get a car?" Heidi blinked, surprised, her curiosity piqued.“That’s my friend’s car. I just borrowed it for the night,” Joseph replied calmly.“Oh, I see. Your friend’s really good to you.” Heidi nodded, then resumed eating. “In that case, you can drive me home. I don’t really like walking alone in the dark—it’s a little scary.”“Even if I didn’t have a car, I

A few moments later, a waiter came over to help Heidi pack up the leftover food. It took quite a while to box everything up, and by the time they were done, they had filled over a dozen containers.Looking at the neatly packed boxes, Heidi couldn’t help but feel a little triumphant.“All packed up already? I just stepped out to use the restroom.” Joseph returned, surprised to see the table so efficiently cleared.“Yep, all done. Hehe, looks like I won’t be going hungry for the next couple of days.” Heidi replied, clearly pleased with herself.“Alright, let’s go.” Joseph picked up a large bag filled with food containers. It was heavy, at least ten boxes inside. Heidi grabbed another bag, which held three or four more.Together, they left the restaurant.“Brother-in-law, isn’t there a parking lot nearby? Why did you park so far away? And it’s kind of secluded—there’s barely anyone around.” Heidi walked beside Joseph, chatting nonstop.“When I got here, the lot was full, so I had to
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 43: Too Late, You Missed Your Chance
Without another word, Joseph reached out and grabbed Scrappy by the throat, lifting him clean off the ground with a single hand.Gasps erupted from the surrounding thugs. Eyes wide, they instinctively stepped back, startled by the sheer display of strength.Was this guy even human? Scrappy wasn’t a small man—at 5'10" and about 80 kilograms, he wasn’t exactly easy to pick up. Yet Joseph held him aloft with effortless ease, one-handed."His strength… it’s terrifying." Heidi whispered, her eyes wide with disbelief."Gah! Let me go! You’re killing me!" Scrappy gasped for air, struggling to pry Joseph’s hand from his throat. His face turned crimson, and each word was a battle to get out."If this were three years ago, you’d already be dead." Joseph’s voice was cold as ice. Then, without a hint of effort, he casually tossed Scrappy aside.He turned to walk away.But in a sudden, fluid motion, Joseph spun back and planted a brutal kick into Scrappy’s abdomen.The force of the blow sent S
