Chapter 1060
'So there had to be some secret at least.’ "Impossible!" Margaret said firmly, "I have been married to
your father for half a lifetime. He might be stubborn and eccentric sometimes, but he never lied to me.
He would never hide anything from me! Where on earth did you hear this gossip? What kickboxing
secrets could our family have?"
"Heather mentioned it. She's adamant that Alex must have a secret handbook containing special
skills." Ralph thought of Heather’s determined eyes and remembered that she had gotten engaged to
him. He wondered if she only did that because of the handbook.
"What special skills? I think she's obsessed with this idea and has been watching too much TV! As you

while, Margaret added, "Speaking of Heather, aren't you two getting married next month?
"Why isn't there any progress? What else should we arrange? Did you prepare everything? Don't count
on me to help you prepare!"
There was no festive atmosphere at home. It was evident Ralph would marry soon, but the house had
no decorations.
After hesitating, Ralph decided to inform his mother, "Our marriage might not happen."
He was afraid of irritating her, so he said it intermittently. Still, he knew he could not hide it from her.
Heather probably would not marry him and even brought up the issue of equity. She treated this whole
thing like a business transaction.
"What?!" Margaret would get angry no matter how he said it. She stared at him so hard that she almost
fainted.
Don't worry. It's not a big deal!" He hurriedly stabilized his mother and grinned, wanting to talk this over
quickly, "Even if it does work out, it won't end well anyway. It's not like I can't find another partner."
"What nonsense are you spewing?" Margaret had never hit him before but was so angry that she
suddenly raised her walking stick to smack him.
"So everything I said earlier was pointless? Did you forget about everything I said? Have you forgotten
why we arranged this marriage and why you should marry Heather? You must've forgotten what you

"How can you even start this bullsh*t? Didn't you just propose yesterday? How can you change your
mind so fast? Are you out of your mind? You're embarrassing yourself and your family!" Margaret
raised her walking stick again but was reluctant to hit him again-instead, she lightly patted his body.
Ralph did not dodge, knowing she was reluctant to hit him with the walking stick. He said smilingly,
"You even know about my marriage proposal? You're still able to keep up with the latest updates."
Margaret was getting old. A few scolds and hand waves had already made her breathless, but she was
still angry. "You must be kidding me!”
"You're not going to hit me?" Ralph smiled and handed his mother some tea. "Have a drink. Just look at
yourself. So old yet still so grumpy. Don't be angry; listen to what I have to say first. It's not bad if
Heather and I don't get married. I know what I deserve, and it's best not to marry a crazy person,
right?"
