Lucas smiled. “Hmm… it’s just a guess. You know that Marcus has always been arrogant. However, I noticed that he was very respectful to Sir William, but not to Michael and Richard. It’s too weird. This is the only reason, isn’t it?”
“If that’s the case…” Hayden muttered to himself and then went silent.
He was shocked by this speculation. If William was the president of the Wolf Group, Hayden would be surprised and proud of him!
He was so happy to have such a successful son, but there was another problem.
Now that William was the president of the Wolf Group, he was too powerful. Therefore, Hayden couldn’t stop William from doing anything that he wanted, including marriage.
Hayden found himself in a dilemma. He had hoped that William would be the president of Wolf Group, but he did not want him to be with Valeria!
If his son was a president, he deserved someone better! He was too good for Valeria!
When he was worried about this conjecture, Gavin happily visited William with Mocha and Oreo in his arms.
While Valeria and William were still sound asleep, the doorbell rang. After Bobby opened the door, his face darkened when he saw Gavin.
“Urgh! Why are you here?”
“I’m here to see Valeria and William!” Gavin said with a smile.
“Could you visit next time? They want to rest.” Bobby refused to let him in.
Gavin was not angry, and he shouted, “Valeria! Come out!”
Bobby was speechless. He then let go of Oreo and Mocha and said, “Go and find her!”
A fat cat jumped over the wall and went straight into the house while Oreo also rushed inside.
Bobby couldn’t attack them, although he was good at fighting. These two pets were important to Gavin. The latter would definitely fight Bobby if any of them were hurt.
Gavin immediately took the opportunity to enter the house while Bobby was trying to control his pets.
Bobby was furious when he saw Gavin entering the house boldly. An elder who didn’t know how to be respectful was exactly like Gavin, wasn’t it?
Valeria was still sleeping in a daze. Then, the door was pushed open, and Oreo rushed in with a meow.
It jumped onto her bed without hesitation and waked William up. He was stunned when he saw Oreo, but Oreo had already run into Valeria’s arms.
Suddenly, he heard barks and Gavin’s voice coming from downstairs. “Valeria!”
Gavin was too much! William was furious as he had disturbed his sleep in the early morning.
Gavin shouted a few times in the living room. After that, he sat down on the sofa and ordered Bobby. “Make a cup of tea for me!”
“Sorry, there’s no tea because Sir William does not drink it!”
“Hah! Let me tell you, I’m two generations older than him. He has to address me as grandpa! Do you want to be fired? Why are you still showing me your poker face?” Gavin threatened.
“Haha! It depends on whether Miss Valeria accepts you or not! If she doesn’t, you’re just a nobody!” Bobby retorted as he was furious.
Gavin’s expression changed immediately. He then suppressed his anger and looked around. Hah! “Did he spend a lot of money on this mansion? He must be so rich, so I can’t be stingy anymore when it comes to their marriage. I’ll give them a larger mansion in the future as their wedding room. After that, I’ll move in to help them take care of their children!”
Bobby knew that he was difficult to deal with, but he did not expect him to be so shameless. “Hah! Who wants an old man like you to help?”
“Huh? Are you looking down on me?” Gavin widened his eyes. Then, Valeria and William came downstairs.
He immediately stood up and smiled when he saw her with Oreo in her arms. “Valeria!”
However, Valeria still didn’t know Gavin’s true identity. “Sir, why are you here?”
“I’m here to visit and apologize to you!”
“Huh? Why do you need to apologise?” She was confused. William’s face was cold as he said. “This is Gavin, who is Raymond’s grandfather and also Archer’s father!”
“You…” Valeria looked at Gavin in surprise.
Gavin had claimed that he was a hermit, so she didn’t know that he was the former chairman of the Saunders family in Ruthorham. She couldn’t even imagine that he would be her grandfather!
He said with an ingratiating manner. “Valeria, my dear granddaughter, I didn’t mean to keep this a secret, and I miss you too much! I know you wouldn’t forgive me if I continued lying, so I decided to apologise and tell you the truth today. Will you forgive me?”
He immediately said before she continued, “Look, I understand how you feel right now. As long as you forgive me, I’ll do whatever you want!”
William said coldly, “Hey, you don’t have to do act so kind if you’re not good at it.”
“No… William, I’m not acting. I know it’s my fault. Please help me persuade her. Everything will be fine if she forgives me.”
Valeria felt confused when she looked at Gavin’s pitiful face. In the beginning, she thought that he was kind and amiable. Now, she had changed her mind after learning about his real identity.
He was the one who had separated her mother and Archer. If both him and Hayden hadn’t forced her mother, she wouldn’t have married Ronald, who was cruel and heartless. She also wouldn’t fall into their trap!
Thus, she wouldn’t forgive him as he was one of the culprits who had killed her mother!
She was suddenly depressed when she thought of it. “Hah! I don’t understand you and won’t forgive you either! Please leave!”
“Valeria! Just… please give me a chance!” He pretended to be pitiful. “I’ve learnt from my mistakes! Could you forgive me? I’m begging you!”
He was really good at acting as he pretended to collapse. Then, William gave him a helping hand and said, “This is my house! Could you please go somewhere else to act instead?”
William was so straightforward, and Gavin blushed in embarrassment. Valeria showed a sarcastic smile. “Heh! You really don’t have to do this. We don’t like irrelevant people like you to interfere with our lives. You’d better leave!”
After that, they left Gavin in the living room and went upstairs. Gavin then gestured for Oreo and Mocha to follow Valeria behind immediately.
