Alex shook his head.
He took a closer look at Claire. Then, he was surprised to find that there was actually a mild, weird energy fluctuation in her body. It was pure, obscure yet real.
‘A unique bloodline?’
‘Has it been activated?’
Alex was extremely shocked, as if he saw another side of Zella Yeager in Claire’s body. Zella’s body contained the unique bloodline of Nine Tails, whereas in Claire’s body, the power of the bloodline was even purer than Zella’s and the quality was even better. It had a vague fire attribute.
‘What is this?’
Just when Alex was puzzled, Claire walked up to them with a smile. She took the initiative to hold Brittany’s hand and gently said, “Oh, mother-in-law. Welcome, welcome. You must be tired coming all the way here. Please, come in and have a seat!”
After that, she grabbed Alex’s hand. “Alex, I’ve heard about the things before. I hope you won’t keep it in your heart. If you’ve any complaints about me, just say it out since we’re going to be a family from now on. It takes a thousand years of cultivation to be together on the same boat, and it takes ten thousand years of cultivation to be a family. You and Dorothy must love one another in order to have a long lasting happiness.”
Alex was pulled by her soft hands. When he heard such words again, he felt a kind of complacent feeling. It completely overturned his impression of Claire in his mind. The following time that they spent together even proved the point.
The previous snobbish, narrow minded and nitpicking Claire was gone. She seemed to have changed into a completely different person. She became knowledgeable, courteous, gentle and elegant.
Not to mention Alex and his mother, in fact, even the biological sister, Adrianna even found it unbelievable.
Sharpay found a chance to pull Alex and speak to him personally, “Brother-in-law, my aunt’s changes are too great. Have you developed some unbelievable products and gave it to my aunt to try first? She looks at least ten years or more younger!”
Alex shook his head.
Claire’s body was indeed a little strange.
Could it be that he accidentally activated her hidden bloodline when he performed surgery on her last time?
But, wasn’t she too old?
However, such changes of Claire were clearly something everyone would be happy to see. Seeing the way she and his mother were talking happily, he let out a breath of relief in silence. Previously, he was still worried that the two women would argue again when they saw each other.
Thud! Thud!
Suddenly, Alex realized his calf that was placed underneath the table was gently kicked twice by someone. He raised his head up suspiciously and saw Beatrice signalling him with her eyes.
Afterwards, she stood up first and said, “Oh, I suddenly feel like eating watermelons. There are watermelons in the fruit shop near the entrance of the neighbourhood. Brother-in-law, do you mind going with me? I’m afraid it might be too heavy for me to carry it!”
Alex did not know what she was trying to tell him. However, when he thought about Claire who was acting so weirdly, he wanted to ask her as well.
He stood up and said, “Okay!”
Once they walked out of the door, Alex asked, “Beatrice, do you have something to tell me?”
Beatrice said, “Yes. Look at my mom, don’t you find it weird? She had been growing younger in the past few days. In just over a week, she is at least ten or more years younger. I’m afraid that she might get younger than me in a few more days. By then, she’ll be addressing me as Mom!”
Alex could not hold his laughter as he said, “You don’t have to worry about that. She won’t be calling you Mom anytime soon.”
Beatrice said, “Is she even still my mother? I wonder if something has possessed her! She’s quite different from the way she was before she had the brain sickness.”
Alex shook his head. “Nope.”
However, Beatrice had an anxious look on her face as she pulled him and said, “Brother-in-law, are you sure? Also, my sister has been weird recently as well. I told her about this, yet she acted indifferently as if it’s something natural. And, and she… She has been on business trips all the time lately. But, when I went to ask Secretary Cassidy, she said that there is no errand in the company that requires her to travel. Tell me, my sister… Does she have an affair out there?”
