“What do I have for her to have ulterior motives against me? Is it because I’m good-looking?” William asked with a smile.
“Of course that’s one of the reasons, but your grandfather and I don’t think it’s the main reason why she likes you. There must be something we don’t know about. After all, she is a talented and capable woman, and the Saunders family is not an ordinary family. Why would she like you, a person who only knows how to indulge in alcohol and women? There is no reason for this.”
Fandrey and his wife were indeed extraordinary for being able to see that there was something wrong with Natasya. William kept playing dumb and said, “I’m not smart. Grandma, what do you and grandpa mean?”
“We mean that you should be careful around her. Don’t be confused by her tricks. We will carefully observe her again and see what’s going on before making a decision.”
“I’ll listen to you then!” He said obediently.
“I knew you would!” When she saw that he showed no objection to her proposal, she was even happier, “Your grandfather was afraid that you wouldn’t listen to me. Now, he can rest assured.”
“I know that you two are doing this for my benefit, so I’ll listen to you.” He held her hand, “But grandma, I’ve been thinking about one thing for the past few days. Who did this to me? This is such a cruel scheme, so that person must be quite powerful. If we don’t find out who that person is, I’ll be in constant danger. I need to investigate this matter.”
She sighed, “You’re right. Your grandfather and I have thought about it too. If you don’t get rid of them, you’ll always be in danger so we are also discussing how handle this matter. We haven’t thought of a good plan yet.”
Fandrey and his wife also intended to find out the mastermind behind the scheme. This was in accordance with William’s plans, so he immediately suggested, “Grandma, I have an idea. I’ll let you know if it works.”
The fact that he initiated a proposal made her very happy, “Okay, tell me about it.”
“Well, since this person framed me in my home country, they must still be there, and they probably don’t know that I have been rescued. Why don’t we go back to investigate it? When they see me alive, they will definitely do something to me again. This way, we can catch them red-handed, right?”
Deborah was reluctant to let him be the bait, “You mean to use yourself as bait? Your grandfather and I have thought of this, but we’re worried about your safety. Who knows how they’ll deal with you!”
“If I don’t provoke them to take action, how will I ever find the culprit? I can’t hide behind you for the rest of my life and do nothing. I must find out what happened and give myself an explanation!”
His look of righteousness frightened her and she said, “Please think about it carefully as this involves your life. We don’t want let you take the risk.”
He rubbed her hands together and said, “I’m not afraid of taking risks. It’s better to take the initiative to attack instead of cowering behind all of you. Didn’t you also say that you can’t protect me for the rest of my life? I have to stand up for myself from now on.”
He said it well as if he wanted to change from his old ways, and Deborah was touched by this.
“It’s great that you think this way! The grandson of the Floyd family shouldn’t be a timid person hiding behind. I’ll tell your grandfather about it right now! Don’t worry, we won’t let you suffer any harm as we’ll protect you! The person who harmed you will definitely get the worst from this!”
She left happily and when she returned to her room, she told Fandrey about the changes in William. He was lost in thought and asked, “Did he really say that to you?”
“Yes! You don’t know how happy I am right now. As long as he is no longer as incompetent and carefree as before, anything he does will make me happy.”
“Yes! But I have the hunch that he is keeping some secret from us. There is no reason that Natasya would fall for a person like him who is ignorant and incompetent. Even if he is good-looking, it’s only a short-term characteristic for when he grows older, he will have nothing. Natasya does not seem like such a shallow person.”
Deborah nodded after listening to her husband. “Yes, I’m thinking the same, but what secrets can William have?”
“It’s hard to say!” He shook his head, “Let’s observe first and then see.”
Upstairs in the children’s room, William used his arm as a pillow and stared blankly at the ceiling. He wanted to return to his home country as soon as possible.
Before he saw Valeria in the video call with Marcus, he didn’t have the urge to go back and wanted to continue his act with Natasya.
However, his desires changed immediately when he saw Valeria.
Now, his mind was filled with thoughts of Valeria crying in the call. Val was his wife, the woman he loved the most.
He was incredibly moved by her beauty. He had no memories or concerns for her before, so he was fine. But now, he could no longer calm down after he saw her.
He tossed and turned several times on the bed, unable to fall asleep. He then picked up his phone to take a look at the time. It was currently afternoon back there, what was his wife doing now?
In his memory, he had no experience of being intimate with any woman, so he had never dated before.
He would never marry a woman he didn’t like. Since he married her, it proved that he must have loved her very much before.
When he thought of her pretty face, his heart ached and the more he thought about it, the more he could not sleep. He had never been so hanging up on a woman before. He then got up and picked up his phone to send Richard a message, “Send me my wife’s WhatsApp contact.”
Marcus was in the middle of telling Richard and the others about William’s situation. “He looks well, and he doesn’t show any discomfort when talking to Valeria. It seems that he cares about her very much. He also promised her that he would come back soon.”
Richard was in disbelief, “Are you sure you’re not lying? When I was video chatting with him, he mentioned that it was painful and unbearable for him when we talked about her.”
“We didn’t mention Valeria’s name when we called him. She was very smart and told him that her name was Val. He was very calm at first, but when he heard her voice, it was as if he had changed into a different person. I feel like he must have remembered something after listening to her voice.”
“If so, it’s a good thing!” Archer was very happy, “As long as he remembers Valeria, he won’t reject her so no matter what tricks they play, it would be useless.”
Marcus and Richard both agreed. A notification for a message from William popped up on Richard’s phone at this time. When he saw that William was asking for Valeria’s WhatsApp contact, he was overjoyed. “William wants Valeria’s WhatsApp contact.”
“Send it to him!” Marcus and Archer looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
