Valeria was overjoyed and ran over to William when she saw him. “Hubby!”
William got out of the car and quickly walked over to hold Valeria’s hand. “Why are you running? What if you fall?”
“I was afraid that you were still angry at me! You haven’t paid attention to me since the meal!”
William laughed when he saw Valeria’s aggrieved look. “Did you realize that I was mad at you? Have you reflected on your actions?”
“Of course, I won’t talk to other men in the future and I’ll pretend to be mute when I see a handsome man. Otherwise, you’ll be unhappy.”
“You still haven’t realized your mistake?” William narrowed his eyes. “If I asked other women for their WhatsApp and chatted with them, would you be happy?”
“How dare you?!” Valeria raised her head and glared at him.
“Just watch what I’ll do if you do this again!” William looked at her and his face became serious. “I have a temper as well!”
When Valeria saw William’s serious expression, she gave in to him and clutched his arm. “My dear husband! I’m really sorry and I was wrong, okay?”
William’s heart softened when he saw her acting so coquettishly and how she was apologizing profusely. “I’ll forgive you today, but you’d better make sure this won’t happen again!”
Valeria stuck out her tongue and held William’s hand tightly. Then, he clasped her hand tightly as well. Meanwhile, Marcus was still sitting in the car and he didn’t dare to move at all until he saw them laughing.
The maid and Lucas stood under the roof and waited to welcome William and Valeria, “Sir, do you want us to prepare dinner?”
“Yup, Marcus and I haven’t eaten.” William nodded.
The matriarch immediately went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Meanwhile, Hayden was reading the news in the living room. When he heard a voice, he looked over and said, “You’re back! Why are you so late today?”
“I had something to deal with.” William answered, “I’m going to change my clothes.”
Marcus greeted Hayden respectfully and sat down on the sofa in the living room. Hayden stopped watching television and looked at Marcus. “What was William up to today? Why didn’t both of you come back for dinner?”
“Something happened to the company in Europe,” Marcus answered vaguely.
“Has it been settled?” Hayden sat up and asked.
“Don’t worry. There’s nothing that Mr. Howard can’t solve, so you can rest assured!”
Hayden glanced at Marcus. “Don’t tell me you have other things to hide from me?”
“There is indeed something, but it’s not a big deal. Mr. Howard will talk to you later.”
Hayden nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. Then, he turned his head and continued reading the news.
Valeria and William went upstairs hand in hand and took off their coats when they reached their room. Valeria reached out to pick them up, but she was stopped by William. He said, “It’s good enough that you know you’re wrong. You don’t have to do these things. Anyway, I can’t bully my pregnant wife, can I?”
“You made me upset the whole afternoon today and my heart hurts because of you.” Valeria acted like a spoiled child.
“Really? Let me rub your chest.” William smiled and stretched out his hand to rub her chest.
Valeria grabbed his hand and said, “Where are you massaging? Hmm?”
“Are you still playing dumb?” William asked.
“You’re harrassing me without my permission. I’m going to sue you!”
“I see that you’re getting bolder. You belong to me and I’ll do whatever I want to you! Let’s see who dares to interfere!” As William spoke, he continued his ministrations until Valeria blushed. “Hey! Stop it or I’ll get angry!”
William laughed mischievously. “Didn’t you act so lovingly to me just now? How can you change your attitude in just a few minutes? It’s good that you’re angry! I really want to see what you’ll do when you’re mad!”
Valeria couldn’t do anything to stop William at all. “Honey, don’t you want to have dinner? Marcus is still downstairs waiting to have dinner with you.”
“It’s alright, I want to please my wife first. I’ll eat dinner later!” William lowered his head and kissed her lips. Valeria was speechless.
She had no way to refuse William’s request, so she could only let him have his fill before he was willing to let her go.
After a while, William’s cellphone rang incessantly. He picked it up unhappily and asked, “What is it?”
“Sir, the first fight between Natasya and Talitha has ended. Natasya has already been disfigured.”
William said when he heard what Silas had said, “She’s already been disfigured in the first round? How would they go against each other again in the future?”
“Yeah, they went too far today.” Silas agreed.
“I thought that Natasya would have the upper hand and she would kill Talitha as well as her unborn child. However, things didn’t turn out that way and Talitha actually brought a knife to the fight. I’m really impressed.”
Silas heard William’s words and immediately reported, “The knife was prepared by Raymond. It was not brought in by Talitha.”
“He’s just making trouble!” William frowned. “Where is he?”
“He’s comforting Talitha now.”
“Didn’t I tell him not to show up? This is bad,” William sighed. “Forget it. Let nature take its course.”
“What’s bad?” Valeria asked worriedly.
“I have already arranged this matter and there is no need for Raymond to get involved at all. He’s acting on impulse because he wants to take revenge, which will cause some unnecessary troubles.”
William explained, “Both Raelyn and Natasya are no pushovers, and Raymond even made such a huge scene. When they calm down and think about it, they will understand why Hardy had improper thoughts about Natasya. The hex that Natasya placed on me must’ve been transferred to Hardy’s body, and he must have thought of this too.”
“Will it affect the overall situation?” Valeria became worried.
“It’s not a big deal, but Raelyn might find an excuse to cause trouble with your grandfather.”
William smiled. “Don’t worry, they won’t be able to cause any trouble. I’m just worried about your grandfather. After all, Raelyn is his daughter. No matter what, she’s still his own flesh and blood, so he won’t be willing to part with her. It’s just like my father, Savannah was crazy enough to harm him, but he doesn’t want to believe the truth.”
“Alas, Raymond is causing such a fuss again. I’m so angry at him!”
“Since things have turned out like this, it’s useless to complain. Your brother has always been very kind and it’s hard for him to do such a thing. It’ll be a good experience for him and he needs to grow up. He should take it slow.”
Meanwhile, Raelyn received a strange phone call saying that Natasya was injured and hospitalized. She immediately rushed over after that. On the way, she was anxious that she stopped the car and jogged straight to the hospital.
The wound on Natasya’s face had been dealt with and she was in the ward with an IV drip. Just then, Raelyn rushed into the ward and saw Natasya’s tightly wrapped face. She was shocked that couldn’t even speak clearly.
“This… this… what’s going on?”
Natasya was still in a coma after she was treated with an anesthetic, so she couldn’t answer Raelyn’s question. Then, Raelyn stopped a nurse and asked, “What the hell is going on?”
