William realized that Valeria and Deborah had an appointment, so Bobby returned and went to the private restaurant of Valeria and Deborah.
Valeria and Deborah ordered a table of dishes. Both of them had fun while eating. They were surprised when William came in. Valeria looked at William strangely and said, “Dear, didn’t you say you have an appointment tonight?”
“Don’t you welcome me?” William sat beside Valeria and asked.
“No such thing! We’re really happy that you’re coming. Grandma and I just planned to go for the movies. Let’s go together.”
“Okay, that’s good!” William agreed. Deborah smiled and asked, “Are you concerned about Valeria? Are you worried that I would treat her badly?”
“No. I believe in grandma, of course. I was nearby, so I came to have a look here and eat by the way.”
The waiter brought in tableware. Valeria served William his favourite dishes. “Darling, you’ve worked hard, have more!”
“Dear, you’ve worked hard too, you should eat more!” William treated Valeria well. Deborah was smiling by the side. William and Valeria’s love for each other was the same as she and Fandrey’s in their youth. Matilda would be very happy to see William and Valeria if he was still alive.
Thinking of Deborah’s sadness, William gave Deborah a bowl of soup and said, “Grandma, this soup is delicious.”
“Thank you!” Deborah took the soup and put it down. She looked at William, who closely resembled Matilda with her amiable eyes. “William, did you set the wedding date with Valeria?”
William nodded and said, “My dad found someone to choose the date. Valerie’s parents agreed too. It’s a deal.”
“Aren’t you going to invite us?” Deborah asked again. She was anxious since the time she got the news from Valeria that their wedding date had been decided. Since that’s the case, why didn’t William mention it?
Could it be that he was reluctant to invite the Floyd family to the wedding? She could not decide the matter that Valeria was pregnant. William was the one who was responsible for her.
“How can I not invite you? I’m just preparing an invitation now.”William replied.
“That’s alright, then. The wedding will be held at the New Pavilion of The Swan. The Floyd family has a manor there, so we can go there in advance.” Deborah proposed.
“It’s okay. There aren’t many guests I invited. All of them are my closest relatives. We can live in hotels. I have a hotel over there.”
Deborah reacted to William’s words. “I forgot that you’re the Wolf Group CEO! Haha, I was thinking of working as a logistics officer. That’s redundant.”
“It’s not redundant. Thanks for thinking for me!” William laughed.
Hearing William’s words, Deborah asked immediately, “Is there anything you need to prepare for the wedding? Tell me anytime if you need help.”
William glanced at Valeria and replied with a smile, “The wedding ceremony is being prepared by my father and her parents. They might not need help for now.”
“Why didn’t you tell us earlier? We could help out in such a big matter.” Deborah complained.
“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. The main concern is that Grandpa and Grandma are aged. Besides, we are in local. We have so many people. We can do it by ourselves and there’s no need to bother both of you. By then, both of you can attend the ceremony happily!”
“Well, I have to prepare my clothes in advance. Valeria, please help me to choose what should I wear.”
“Okay!” Valeria agreed.
In a good mood, Deborah started the topic of the groomsman and bridesmaid, “Have you found the groomsman and bridesmaids?”
“Yes. They are Richard, Michael, Abbie, and Braelynn.”
“Why there are only two pairs? It’s too little, right? Have eight pairs instead.” Deborah felt that it was not enough. “Find six pairs of handsome men and beautiful women, including Angel as a bridesmaid too.”
At the mention of Angel, William’s eyes were slightly cold. Fandrey and Deborah knew nothing, and Callum probably knew nothing as well that Angel was not a child of the Floyd family.
Floyd family would be shocked and sad if they knew the truth that loving a fake child as their flesh and blood.
William would not agree to Deborah’s request. He rejected her directly. “Having two pairs is good enough. It’s troublesome to have too many.”
“What’s the trouble? You’re not short of money either. Those celebrities would have a lot of bridesmaids when they’re getting married.”
“Grandma, we are not celebrities. There is no need to compare with them.” He was not a celebrity, but the famous president of Wolf Group. What was a star to him?
Besides, it was disgusting to have Angel as their bridesmaid.
Seeing that William was not happy with the suggestion, Deborah explained with a smile, “I don’t mean to compare with the stars. I’m just thinking that you and Valeria’s wedding should be very grand and everyone should know about it. By then, let the media report on it and this topic will surely be on the popularity chart for days, right? Isn’t it good for your media entertainment?”
“Grandma, it’s me and Valeria who get married. It’s enough for the people who love us to be happy. There is no need to let outsiders know. My media company doesn’t rely on popularity to make money, the position is different!”
“Alright, I can’t win over you. Do what you want.” Deborah had no choice but to give up on William. She took a sip of the soup and continued, “You want to be low-key when you get married. However, the baby’s first month of wine can’t be done quietly. The baby will be born in a few months. You have to prepare it, right?”
“Of course, my father won’t allow me to keep a low profile either!” William laughed. “My father has already started planning for the first-month wine. Valeria’s parents have also thought about it. They can do whatever they want with them.”
Deborah still wanted to come up with ideas on the planning of the baby’s one-month wine. Now that Hayden had taken full charge, how could the Floyd family interfere?
Speaking of Hayden, Deborah was full of resentment towards Hayden. If it wasn’t for William, she would’ve gone after Hayden a long time ago. Now, she was able to suppress her anger because of William.
William was Hayden’s son. It was impossible for him to go against Hayden’s decision and choose the Floyd family.
Now that William was caught in a dilemma because of the stalemate between the Floyd family and Hayden. She couldn’t cause trouble to William anymore. Even if it was for the sake of Valeria and William, she had to suppress herself.
After dinner, three of them went to watch a movie before returning home. Deborah returned to the hotel room and found that the atmosphere in the room was weird. Fandrey and Callum’s facial expressions were not good. She wanted to tell Fandrey about the wedding between William and Valeria, but she put it aside for the time being as she felt that something was wrong.
“Old man and Callum, what’s wrong with both of you? Why do you all look sad?”
