Deborah was very fond of her only granddaughter, “If you’re hungry, you should eat some pastries first. William will come over soon.”
“I don’t want to eat pastries!” Angel continued to act like a spoiled child, “Grandma, you should call William and ask him to hurry up!”
“There’s no need for that, he’ll come on time. Also, he’s bringing his wife over later, so you should be friendly to her.” Fandrey reminded.
“What? Valeria is coming over? What for?” Angel asked unhappily.
“Of course she’s coming to visit us.” Fandrey replied.
“Who wants her to come to visit us? She didn’t pick us up when we landed that night. What’s the point of her coming now? Nobody is happy that she comes!”
Angel’s words made Fandrey’s face sink, “What are you talking about? Nobody is happy that she’s coming? Well, even if you aren’t, I am! Besides, who do you think you are? Valeria is not coming to see you!”
Angel’s expression changed after Fandrey’s lecture, and she immediately looked at Deborah with a pitiful expression, “Grandma!”
Deborah immediately tried to smooth things over, “That’s enough. Why are you snapping at Angel? She’s not wrong. If Valeria really respected us, she would have picked us up when we landed. What’s the point of coming to see us now? She does not respect us at all.”
“Stop making things worse! She’s pregnant with twins now, so things would be hard for her!”
“Everyone has been pregnant before. How can she be so delicate!” Deborah retorted.
Fandrey frowned, “Alright, I know that you are unhappy, but no matter how unhappy you are, you have to pretend to be happy since she’s William’s wife. You’re just going to make things difficult for him!”
Fandrey stopped talking and stood up, “I’ll go talk to Thomas.”
Seeing Fandrey leave, Angel immediately grabbed Deborah’s hand and shook it, “Grandma, Grandpa is not on our side! He is defending Valeria! I hate her so much!”
“I know what you’re thinking, but your grandfather is right. You can’t embarrass Valeria for William’s sake. Do you understand?”
Hearing Deborah say this, Angel nodded her head unhappily, “I know! I will be very polite to her!”
In the Howard family’s old estate, Valeria changed her clothes and went downstairs with William while Hayden was seated in the living room. Valeria called out to him sweetly, “Father! We’re leaving now, and we’ll be back early tonight.”
“Mhm! Be careful on the road.” He nodded.
William took Valeria to the car and sighed in relief, “Hubby, why did Dad suddenly agree to let us meet your grandparents? I thought he was very much against it before?”
William shook his head in his heart when he saw Valeria’s silly demeanor, “I persuaded him a lot.”
“So that’s what you guys were talking about in the garden just now?”
“More or less!” William replied.
“I’m a little nervous. Is it easy to get along with your grandparents?” Valeria felt exposed.
“It’s easy! Don’t worry, even if it’s hard to get along with them, you still have me, right? I won’t let you suffer!”
His words reassured her, “I know. When the time comes, I’ll smile and call them grandparents. I’m so cute and beautiful, they’ll definitely like me!”
“Yes, it’s unreasonable that they won’t come to like my beautiful wife.”
Soon after, they arrived at the Wolf Group. When Valeria got out of the car, she patted her head and said, “Honey, bad news! I forgot to prepare gifts!”
“It’s alright. I’ve already had the preparations ready,” William replied.
“Thank goodness you’re here, or I’ll be embarrassed tonight!” Valeria stuck out her tongue and entered Wolf Group with William. However, instead of going to Fandrey’s presidential suite, they went to William’s room first.
On the tea table in the living room, there were some boxes of health nourishing food along with several gift boxes. Valeria was a little curious, “Honey, what gifts have you prepared?”
“My grandfather likes calligraphy, so I prepared an inkstone for him, and I decided to gift my grandmother a jade bracelet. My uncle likes drinking tea, so I’m giving him a tea set. As for Angel, I’m just gifting her a bag.”
“Wow, honey, you are so awesome! You know what they like very well.”
“Of course, if not, how would I be able to call myself your husband?” He said proudly, “Okay, let’s go and meet them now!”
Bobby and Silas took the gifts and accompanied Valeria and William to Fandrey’s suite.
Seeing William coming in with Valeria, Azalea, who was on the sofa, lowered her head subconsciously. When Valeria saw Azalea sitting there, an unpleasant look flashed across her face.
Then, they heard the door to the study room open, and Callum walked out with Fandrey and Thomas.
William quickly made an introduction, “This is Grandpa!”
“Hello, grandpa!” Valeria greeted him with a smile.
“Hello!” Fandrey’s gaze fell on Valeria’s face. As expected, she was extremely beautiful and a perfect match with William.
He pointed at the sofa with a smile, “Sit down!”
“Thank you, grandpa!” Then, Valeria greeted Callum. He treated her very well and talked to her with a smile on his face.
Since Valeria didn’t see Deborah nor Angel, she took the initiative to ask, “Where are grandma and Angel?”
“They are in the room. I’ll call them now.” Just as Callum was going to call for them, they opened the door and came out.
Deborah was obviously stunned by Valeria’s beauty and only came to her senses after Valeria greeted her sweetly. She quickly returned to normal and responded to her with a faint smile.
Valeria could feel her alienation, but the smile on her face remained unchanged as she handed the gift to Deborah and said a few polite words. Although Deborah didn’t like her, she still thanked her when she took over the gift.
Valeria took the initiative to talk to Angel and gave her her gift as well.
Angel’s attitude towards Valeria was lukewarm, which was almost the same as Deborah’s. When she saw the bag Valeria gave her, the corners of her mouth drooped down, and it was obvious that she was unhappy.
Valeria ignored her reaction and gave Fandrey and Callum their gifts.
Compared to Angel and Deborah, Fandrey and Callum’s attitudes were much better.
Fandrey had a smile plastered across his face, “Ah, I probably can’t bear to use such an expensive inkstone. I have to keep it well.”
Callum also laughed, “These are super rare tea leaves, and I love this tea set! You are very considerate.”
“It’s good that you like it!” Valeria blushed after Callum’s praise.
Then, Callum went back to his room and took out a box, “This is a gift from us!”
After seeing the box, Angel’s face changed instantly.
