Chapter 827 Foolish

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Seeing William leave in a hurry, Callum, who had been silent, had a strange expression on his face.
He could tell that William was unhappy!
When William was happy, he would smile with his eyes. When he was unhappy, he would smile stiffly with cold eyes. Just now, he was eyeing them coldly, but Callum found it strange since no one was provoking him.
Was it because of this woman’s sudden appearance? Callum looked at Azalea.
He had been paying attention to Emily, so, of course, he knew that Azalea was her daughter.
Upon recognizing Azalea, Callum was a little surprised. How did she know Thomas?
Because of Emily, Callum did not hate Azalea, so she joined their trip with ease.
She was born to be an actress. She was especially good at putting on an act, observing people’s expressions, and entertaining them.
Both Fandrey and Deborah thought that she was Thomas’s girlfriend and treated her very well, while Callum treated her kindly because she was Emily’s daughter. Azalea felt like she was on cloud nine.
It was a good idea to listen to Meadow’s advice today!
Azalea was happy, but Angel was not. William left without hesitation, so she was not in the mood to fool around anymore. Other than that, everyone’s focus was on Azalea, so she felt ignored and angry.
William drove straight back to his house. Valeria was still taking a nap when she heard a voice and opened her eyes, “Hubby, you’re back? Why are you back?”
“There are other people accompanying my grandparents, so I came back to accompany my wife and children.” He said as he sat down beside the bed. Valeria sat up with a smile and said, “Nonsense!”
“I’m serious! I’ve been thinking about what you said to me today. Did the baby really move?”
“Yes, they moved again while I was sleeping just now.”
“Let me touch it.” He said as he reached out to touch her stomach and rubbed circles over it for a while, “Why don’t I feel anything?”
“Maybe they’re still asleep?”
“Is that so? Let me call for them then!” He put his head on her belly and said, “Babies, I’m your dad. Can you move a little for me? Please!”
Valeria laughed out loud, “Darling, you are so stupid! This is so funny! I was just joking with you!”
After laughing for a while, Valeria asked about Thomas and Angel, “Honey, what happened to Thomas and Angel?”
William was really annoyed with Thomas, so he said, “They’re just like what I said. Thomas is good with his words, and he must have a reason for being so chummy with Angel. Anyway, I don’t think he’s a good person, so you should warn Abbie to cut off her relationship with him. It would be bad to fall into his traps. ”
Valeria didn’t believe that Thomas would be such a person, “I don’t think so though. I don’t believe that he’s a bad person… I’ll send him a message.”
After finishing her sentence, she immediately picked up her phone and sent a message to Thomas, “Mr. Gurney, do you like my husband’s cousin very much?”
Thomas was stunned when he saw Valeria’s text and replied immediately, “I don’t like her! How can I?”
“If you don’t like her why were you so close to her? Abbie isn’t into players!”
“Um… Valeria, you misunderstood. I accompanied the Floyd family out of respect, and Angel is an important person in the family, so I can’t ignore her when she comes up to me. I am not chummy with her at all. I swear on my name that I have no other intentions towards her.”
Valeria showed Thomas’ message to William and said, “See? He doesn’t like your cousin at all. It’s just that he can’t do anything about it!”
William snorted, “Who would believe that!”
“My dear, can you tell me why you don’t like Thomas? Are you jealous because of me? But you clearly know that the person I love is you!”
“Jealous? I just can’t stand that brat!” William replied in a harsh tone.
“Oh…” Valeria shook her head. That excuse was plausible, so she had nothing else to say.
Meanwhile, at the tourist site, Bobby and the other bodyguards followed the Floyd family from behind. He was unhappy about the attitude of the elders of the Floyd family.
William had already given them enough respect, eating and drinking with him, but the Floyd family did not mention Valeria at all.
Valeria, a pregnant woman, had an accident last night, how could they not ask about it?
The fact that they ignored her showed how they disregarded her.
Either way, Bobby was unhappy. If William hadn’t asked him to stay here, he would have left with the others. As he was thinking about it, William sent him a text, “Are my grandparents having fun?”
“Yes! They’re chatting happily with Azalea and Thomas right now. By the way, Mr. Howard, what’s going on between Thomas and Azalea? Are they a couple? I think Fandrey and Deborah are treating them like one.” Bobby replied.
“A couple? Interesting! How’s Angel right now?”
“She doesn’t seem very happy.” Bobby glanced at Angel and answered.
“Snap some photos of Azalea and Thomas’ interactions and send them to me.”
“All right!”
Seeing William texting on his phone, Valeria leaned over and asked, “Husband, what are you doing?”
He put away his phone so that she wouldn’t see his texts, “Nothing. You should get up first, and I’ll accompany you to the garden.”
“Hmph! I can tell at a glance that you are up to no good when you’re snooping around. Just know that I won’t forgive you if I find out that you’re doing bad things!” Valeria said as she rolled her eyes.
“The spawn of satan!” William murmured.
“What did you say?”
He forced a smile and replied, “I said my wife is beautiful, pretty, and charming!”
“It’s good that you know!”
The two of them held hands while walking to the garden and saw Hayden pointing fingers and gesturing with Lucas at the side of the playground from afar.
William burst into laughter when he saw this, “What’s going on with my dad? Andrew said that he hasn’t been to the company in a while, but he’s always inspecting the playground. Does he need to pay so much attention to this?”
“What about it? This shows how thoughtful he is by preparing a present for his two babies.” Valeria snorted, “By the way, what are you preparing to give us?”
William smiled mysteriously, “Well, let’s talk about it later!”
“You’re up to no good again! You’re really something!” Valeria pretended to hit him, and he jumped away first.
When Hayden saw them, he took off his helmet and walked over, “I was about to look for you.”
“Dad, what is it?”
“Let’s go over there and talk.” Hayden pointed at a chair at the edge of the garden. Valeria read the situation and didn’t follow along, “Hubby, I’ll take a walk over there.”
Hayden walked over to the chair and sat down. Then, he looked at William and said, “I want to talk to you about Thomas.”
