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.
