Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss

Javier Sinclair walked to Celeste Grant’s side.

He looked at Mr. and Mrs. Grant, who stood before him, along with his young brother-in-law off to the side. As their eyes met, he gave a slight bow, first paying his respects to Celeste’s parents.

"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law."

Seeing him, Mr. and Mrs. Grant were overjoyed, their faces filled with an affection that extended to him because of their love for their daughter. Their son-in-law was handsome and talented, with a profound cultivation, and treated their daughter well. He was also exceptionally respectful toward them, leaving them thoroughly pleased with him.

Mr. Grant said with a smile, "Excellent, excellent. We’re so glad you’ve come."

Mrs. Grant added, "We’ve been eagerly waiting for you to come back."

They remembered how terrified they had been when they first heard their daughter had found a Demon Cultivator as a son-in-law. They had been frightened and worried, even suspecting their daughter had been coerced. How different things were now. Looking at Javier Sinclair felt like looking at one of their own children.

It wasn’t just Mr. and Mrs. Grant; Celeste’s brother was also filled with happiness and admiration at the sight of him.

’My brother-in-law is incredible.’

"Greetings, Brother-in-law."

Javier Sinclair looked at him and nodded slightly.

"Greetings, brother-in-law."

’Is this what they call ’love me, love my dog’?’ he wondered. ’Is that why I find Celeste’s brother so agreeable?’

Just then, their son brushed past them and threw his arms around Mrs. Grant.

"Grandpa... Grandma... Aaron missed you so much."

"Grandma, you’re still as gentle and beautiful as ever."

"Haha, you sweet-talker! Let Grandma have a look. Oh my, Aaron, you’ve grown taller, and you look so strong."

Seeing their dear grandson, whom they had doted on since he was a baby, Mr. and Mrs. Grant were absolutely delighted. Their faces beamed with unconcealed joy.

Mr. Grant added with a laugh, "Our dear boy has gotten taller again! You’re almost catching up to your dad."

Charlie Grant, who was standing to the side, smiled. "My little nephew really has grown." He looked a little sheepish as he said it. He just couldn’t seem to catch up to his nephew’s height anymore.

After hugging his grandparents, Aaron Sinclair walked over to his young uncle and put an arm around his shoulders. "Little Uncle, did you miss me? I brought you lots of good stuff this time."

Charlie Grant smiled and nodded.

"Thanks, little nephew. Your uncle also prepared a ton of poisonous herbs and toxic flowers for you. You can use them for your alchemy. Go wild."

"Hehe, Little Uncle, you get me the best."

Charlie Grant laughed.

’Of course I do.’ He had been a frequent victim of his nephew’s experiments growing up. He remembered one time when he’d had an upset stomach for days on end and nearly passed out from dehydration.

"Oh, right..." Aaron Sinclair said. "Grandpa, Grandma, we brought you lots of gifts this time."

"Yes, we brought quite a few." Javier Sinclair stepped forward, glanced at them, and said, "This time, Celeste and I have prepared quite a few gifts for you. We hope you’ll like them."

The moment he finished speaking, Mrs. Grant said, "Just having you here is enough! There was no need to prepare gifts. Your father and I aren’t lacking for anything."

Javier Sinclair said, "And this is something I prepared especially for you all."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

A ruler, over three feet long, appeared in the air before them. The ruler emanated a chilling aura and shimmered with iridescent light, and a green tassel dangled from one end. The moment it appeared, the surrounding air seemed to grow colder.

His gaze turned to Charlie Grant as he said, "Brother-in-law, this is a welcoming gift for you. This is the Green Moon Ruler. A swing of it can freeze a thousand miles, and it can be used for defense against powerful enemies. It’s good for both offense and defense, a rather nice Immortal Treasure."

He waved his hand.

The Magic Treasure landed in Charlie Grant’s hands.

At this moment, Charlie Grant’s youthful face was frozen in a stunned expression. He cradled the Magic Treasure in his hands. "This... This is for me? Brother-in-law, this is too valuable."

This was an Immortal-level Magical Treasure.

’Such a grand gesture.’

’I don’t feel worthy of it.’

Javier Sinclair nodded faintly. "Yes, it’s for you. Take it and use it. The Green Moon Ruler suits you well."

Charlie Grant smiled sheepishly.

"Thank you, Brother-in-law."

’I love it so much.’

He didn’t refuse, because it was from his own brother-in-law. The Magic Artifact in his hands looked like it was overflowing with cold energy, but it warmed as he held it. The moment the Magic Treasure came into his possession, it acknowledged him as its master, as if it had been tailor-made for him.

"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, these are for you." As he spoke, Javier Sinclair waved his hand again, and two swords and a string of Jade Pearls appeared in the air before him.

"What fine swords."

"They’re beautiful, but just too precious."

’These look like Immortal-level Magical Treasures, too. Where does our son-in-law find so many of these things?’ They genuinely thought it would be better if their daughter and son-in-law kept them for themselves.

With this in mind, they spoke up. "Javier, we accept your kind intentions, but please take these back. You and Celeste should use them yourselves. Giving such fine Magic Treasures to us would be a waste. The Magic Artifacts you gave us before are already excellent."

Mr. and Mrs. Grant sincerely felt it was too wasteful for them to use such high-quality Magic Treasures. Good things should be left for the younger generation; they already had plenty of wonderful items.

Javier Sinclair said, "These are for you to use. We have others; we’re not short one or two." ’Besides, the things you got before were from the *other* Javier. How can these be the same? They’re completely different.’

Celeste Grant smiled faintly. "Father, Mother, just accept them. Keep them for self-defense. This is your son-in-law showing his respect. If you don’t take them, he’ll definitely think you don’t like them." ’And then he’ll probably start competing with the other Javier again.’

Javier Sinclair nodded.

"Please, accept them."

Unable to refuse any longer, Mr. and Mrs. Grant smiled and nodded. "Alright, then we’ll accept them."

Javier Sinclair beamed. ’His in-laws accepted his gifts! That means they’ve truly accepted him. Now, he was their one and only, official son-in-law.’

Once they had accepted the gifts, Javier Sinclair took Celeste’s hand. He straightened his posture and looked at her parents with a grave expression. "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law... Brother-in-law." His gaze shifted from Celeste’s brother to her parents.

’Javier felt a flutter of nerves, but the thought that he couldn’t lose to the other Javier steadied him. The scene felt strangely familiar. It had to be because the other Javier felt the exact same way when he first met his father-in-law.’

He then introduced himself with a straight face. "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, I am your *other* son-in-law, Javier Sinclair. From now on, I will take good care of Celeste. I will treat her even better than the previous Javier Sinclair did."

Mr. Grant: "..."

Mrs. Grant: "..."

Charlie Grant: "..."

’What the...?’

The three of them stared at him in unison, as if they could burn a hole through his face with their gazes. Their faces were a mixture of bewilderment and utter confusion.

’What did he mean, "treat her even better than the previous son-in-law"?’ Mr. and Mrs. Grant replayed his words in their minds. ’Is that right?’ No wonder they had felt something was off earlier. Hearing this, it finally clicked.

’The way their son-in-law was looking at them was wrong, as if this were his very first time visiting. What on earth was going on with him?’

"Javier, what’s gotten into you?"
