Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 613

Chapter 613 Maggie’s Insistence 

The corners of Alex’s mouth curled into a bitter smile. “Ms. Grant, you’re wasting your time on a man like me.” 

Maggie tightened her grip on his hand. “It’s not a waste of time,” she insisted. “I want to. I love you.”
