Meanwhile, in B City’s Revolving Restaurant at 7 o’clock in the evening. Valeria and William had invited Fandrey and Deborah to have dinner together.
Valeria and William arrived at the dining room first, followed by Fandrey and Deborah.
Their meeting this time was completely different from the previous one and everyone was smiling. When Valeria saw Fandrey and Deborah, she took the initiative to call them grandparents and she also brought gifts for them.
When Deborah came, she was worried that it would be as awkward as before. After all, the whole situation was different now.
She and Fandrey were the ones who held the most power when they returned to the country. However, the power was in the hands of Valeria now, so Deborah had no choice but to bear Valeria’s attitude towards her.
Valeria’s attitude was very good and Deborah couldn’t find any faults in her at all. Deborah was in a good mood. After all, Valeria was her granddaughter-in-law and she was pregnant with a pair of twins.
Deborah took the initiative to ask about Valeria’s daily life and diet. She also told Valeria to pay attention to what she ate.
The two of them chatted happily while William and Fandrey were having a friendly conversation as well.
William took care of the three of them throughout the meal. He picked food for them and served them soup without neglecting any of their needs.
The older couple was in a very good mood, especially Deborah. She hadn’t been under William’s care for a long time ever since she fell out with Valeria.
If she had known that she could gain William’s favour by treating Valeria kind, she wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble in the past.
If she had accepted Valeria from the very beginning, she wouldn’t have grown so distant from William.
After dinner, the four of them went to the top floor to enjoy the romantic night view. After Valeria and Deborah got along well with each other, they continued chatting with each other. They were gossiping away and the situation was lively.
As they looked at the beautiful night scene, Valeria picked up her mobile phone and said, “Grandma, let me take a picture for you!”
“Alright, I would love that. Let’s take some photos together for me to share with my friends. I have to show them how beautiful my granddaughter-in-law is!”
The two of them took selfies together while Fandrey and William stood under the sightseeing tower and talked.
When Fandrey turned around and saw Deborah and Valeria taking pictures together, he couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s good! Deborah has always been flashy and she would take endless photos of herself.”
“Valeria also likes taking photos. When I went on a holiday with her, I was always the designated photographer,” William said with a smile.
“Just let them do as they please as long as they are happy! William, I need to apologize to you solemnly for the previous incident. It was our lack of discipline that made Angel behave like that. I’m sorry!”
“Grandpa, let the past go. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you. Angel is an independent girl and she has her own thoughts. It’s not your fault if she does something wrong!”
“We should be blamed as well. We didn’t know how cunning she was and we even believed her words…” Fandrey sighed, “I am old and your uncle is getting older as well. He only has a daughter and he can’t bear such a big responsibility. I’m afraid that the Floyd family will have to be handed over to you in the future. You’ll definitely need to take on an important role!”
William laughed. “Grandpa, you’re thinking too far. Uncle is still so young and he still has a chance to have children.”
“Impossible!” Fandrey shook his head. “If he really wanted a child, he would’ve had more children by now. I won’t hide it from you. Veronica is infertile. We didn’t think of that when he married Veronica in the past and it was his own decision.”
This was an excellent opportunity for him to ask the question. William caught it immediately and asked with a surprised expression, “Who is Angel’s mother if Veronica is infertile?”
“It’s a long story. Your uncle had a first love named Emily and he was your mother’s friend. She met your uncle through your mother and fell in love with him. At that time, your grandmother and I had arranged a marriage for your uncle. When we heard that your uncle and Emily were together, we were strongly opposed to it. Emily was so vicious that she tried to hurt Veronica and made her unable to bear a child. Then, your grandma was so furious that she used some means to drive Emily back to the country. Your uncle was disheartened, so he decided to marry Veronica. Later, he returned to the country to talk about business and he spent some time together with Emily again. Angel’s mother is Emily.”
William’s heart thumped violently when he heard Fandrey’s words. Angel was Emily and Callum’s child? How is that possible?
He had already arranged for someone to do the appraisal, which proved that Angel and Emily were not related at all.
William was surprised and immediately asked, “Was Emily willing to let you take her child away?”
“Of course she was unwilling, but she had no say in it. Your grandmother and I insisted on taking her child away, so she could only accept her fate,” Fandrey sighed.
“Speaking of which, Angel’s bad upbringing has something to do with Veronica. I always thought that she was kind-hearted and I didn’t think she had ill intentions at all. Emily has hurt her so much, so how could she be kind to Emily and your uncle’s child? Veronica seems to be good to Angel on the surface, but she must have malicious intentions. That was Angel grew up to ve so vicious, but we are to blame as well.”
William frowned. “Grandfather, since Veronica is so scheming, why don’t you let Uncle divorce her?”
“Your grandmother and I have also thought of divorce, but it’s useless! Your uncle is already so old that he won’t listen to us.” Fandrey was extremely distressed.
“After so many years, your uncle has always been deeply in love with Emily. He doesn’t care about other women at all and he will never marry another woman even if he divorces Veronica. That’s why the Floyd family ended up like this!”
William was silent for a moment. “Grandpa, have you ever thought about letting Uncle marry Emily after he gets a divorce?”
“That’s impossible! That woman is not a good person! You don’t know how crazy she used to be. I can understand why she hit Veronica, but she didn’t have any feelings for her daughter at all. She made an oath in front of your grandmother to draw a clear line with Angel. Such a vicious woman doesn’t deserve to enter the Floyd family!” Fandrey was angry when he mentioned Emily.
“Speaking of which, Angel is so vicious. and maybe she inherited it from Emily.”
When William saw that Fandrey had such deep prejudice against Emily, he did not continue this topic.
However, he was pondering about this matter in his heart. Emily didn’t look like a vicious person. She cared so much about Azalea and Thomas, not to mention her daughter.
It was impossible for her to be indifferent to her daughter, so why would she swear to Deborah that she would stay away from Angel? Did Emily know that Angel was not her daughter?
This matter was quite strange and he had to figure it out.
