Hayden was cheerful again after he heard Valeria’s words. “I’m not stopping you from keeping in touch with them, but I’m worried about you because the Floyd family may not genuinely like you. You’re pregnant now, and Angel is so vicious and shameless. What if she hurts you and the child?”
“Dad, she won’t be there. Only me, Grandpa, Grandma, and William will be there today, so I’m sure that nothing will happen. By the way, I actually have a task to complete, and I need to inquire about some things in the past.”
“What happened back then?”
“This is a secret. I’ll tell you about it after I find out. I won’t say anything if I can’t learn anything about it.”
After saying that, Valeria didn’t dare to delay any longer and left the house hurriedly after having breakfast. When Hayden sent her out and watched her car leave, he stroked his beard and shook his head. “Did she really buy tickets to accompany me to watch the opera? I don’t think she bought it at all. She probably thought of it spontaneously to comfort me, right?”
Lucas chuckled. “It’s the thought that counts. You should be happy, Sir.”
“Yeah, I was quite unsatisfied with her at first, but I like her more now that I’ve lived with her. She’s smart, sensible and kind. She’s as good as William in terms of gaining my favour!”
“Miss is indeed very smart and considerate. She knows that you are in a bad mood, so she thought of accompanying you to watch the opera. It’s good that she knows how to do this at such a young age.”
“Yes, that’s why I didn’t say anything even though I saw through her actions. I can’t make things difficult for her, can I?”
Valeria immediately ordered the driver to head straight to the Wolf Group Hotel. When her car arrived at the destination, it stopped and she saw that William had also arrived as well. Then, Valeria got out of the car and headed straight for William. When he saw her approaching, he immediately came up to her and said, “Slow down! What should I do if you trip and fall down?”
“I’m not in a rush. Dear, I have something urgent that I need you to do.”
“What’s the matter?”
Valeria put on a beautiful and brilliant smile on her face. “Here’s the thing. Dear, arrange for someone to book opera tickets tomorrow.”
“Huh? Have you enjoyed watching it recently?” William asked.
“No, I just want to make Dad happy. He’s upset that we’re out with Grandpa and Grandma, so I said that I will accompany him to see the opera performance tomorrow. You must buy the tickets immediately, and don’t let Dad know that I’m just doing this to coax him. Otherwise, we will be finished!”
William laughed, “You’re such a mischievious liar!”
Valeria held his arm and said coquettishly, “I know that you’ve worked hard to keep the peace of the family! I did the same as well so we can build a harmonious family together!”
William couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Valeria’s shameless words and even Bobby grinned.
Meanwhile, in the Wolf Group Hotel. Deborah and Fandrey changed into casual attire and walked out happily. However, Angel stammered as she followed them out, “Grandpa and Grandma, are you guys going out again?”
“That’s right!”
“Can I go out with you?” Angel asked expectantly.
Deborah refused directly, “We have agreed to go out with your cousin-in-law, and we didn’t say that we would take you with us. It’s not good for you to come along like this. Why don’t you let me discuss this with your cousin-in-law and we’ll see how it goes next time?”
“Okay!” Angel did not agree to this and her heart was filled with hatred. However, her status in the family was even lower than a servant and she had to get Valeria’s permission if she wanted to join them. Besides, Deborah was afraid that Valeria would be unhappy to see Angel.
How could they bully her like this?! They used to hate Valeria, but why did they suddenly change their attitude towards her these days? What did Valeria give them?
Angel was extremely angry in her heart, but Fandrey and Deborah thought that she had repented on her mistakes. When they entered the elevator, Deborah said, “Dear, I’ll take the initiative to talk to Valeria about Angel today. After all, she is our granddaughter and we can’t leave her alone.”
“Okay, you can talk to Valeria. We can’t abandon our granddaughter and we can’t be separated from William as well. It’s true that they have their own lives and it’s best if they can live in harmony, but we can’t force them,” Fandrey agreed.
Valeria and William were waiting in the car at the entrance of the hotel. When they saw Fandrey and Deborah walking out, William got out of the car and greeted them, “Good morning!”
Fandrey was very surprised to see William. “Aren’t you busy today, William?”
William answered with a smile, “I’m busy, but I have to find time to join you. My wife said that meeting both of you is more important than my work.”
Deborah burst out laughing. “We have to thank Valeria for making you join us even though you’re so busy.”
William helped Fandrey and Deborah into the car before he entered as well. “I was joking. Actually, I have nothing to do today.”
“I knew you were talking nonsense!” Deborah rolled her eyes at William and sat down next to Valeria. “Valeria, where are we going today?”
“Shall we have a barbecue in the suburbs?” Valeria smiled and replied, “In fact, it’s in a vacation villa located in the suburbs and the scenery is very beautiful. The weather is clear today and it’ll be nice to have a barbecue.”
“Okay, okay!” Deborah agreed. “Speaking of this, the first barbecue I’ve ever been to was when I dated Grandpa. After we got married, I was so busy because I had to take care of the family and I had no time to relax at all.”
“Well, we can relax today. Grandma, Grandpa, William is really good at barbecuing meat. Both of you are in luck!”
William pretended to be angry and said, “What?! Are you treating me as your personal chef now?”
“Grandma, look at William! He’s gone over the line! I’m still pregnant, so how can he say that?” Valeria complained.
“I’ll teach him a lesson for you! William, you shouldn’t say that!” Deborah was naturally Valeria who supported her.
The group of people chatted and laughed. When they arrived at the resort, the bodyguards led the way while Valeria and Deborah held hands with each other. William followed Fandrey to the barbecue area as well.
Deborah and Valeria went to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Soon, they left the main barbeque area to William and Fandrey.
Valeria introduced the resort to Deborah while walking. It looked like she was taking Deborah to enjoy the scenery, but in fact, she was looking for a chance to ask about how Angel was adopted by the Floyds.
Both Deborah and Valeria wanted time alone because they wanted to talk about Angel. Then, they went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and sat down. Deborah took the initiative to mention Angel. “Valeria, I have a few things to talk to you about your cousin, Angel.”
