Michael let out a sigh of relief after he walked out of the room and quickly walked to a place far away to light a cigarette.
He had never thought about doing all of this before. All he wanted to do was to marry Azalea as soon as possible so that she could be a part of his family. After that, he could expose Azalea’s identity to the public to get back at Meadow and Wayne.
Even Azalea was at odds with Meadow and Wayne in the future, he would never file for divorce and let them fight among each other for the rest of their lives.
However, Michael finally snapped out of his daze after he read Marcus’ message.
The only person that he could marry in this life was Abbie. How could he let such a disgusting bitch like Azalea be his wife?
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to marry Azalea. He then thought for a while in his room before he finally came up with a plan.
He would let Azalea think that she was having sex with him, when in fact it was another man. It was best if she got pregnant with the belief that her baby was his. If that happened, she could live in the Davis family even without being married to Michael. This way, Meadow and Wayne would feel utterly disgusted by her.
As long as his plan was successful, he would leave the illegitimate child and Azalea with the Davis family. They would be a complete nuisance to Meadow and Wayne every single day.
That was why he wanted Azalea to drink so much at Climax Space. Michael wanted her to think that she had slept with him when she was in a drunken daze.
Michael asked his subordinates to find a sex worker to sleep with Azalea. Only someone as dirty and despicable as Azalea deserved to be with a man like that.
Everyone was cleared out after Michael dealt with Azalea in the private room. He arranged bodyguards to guard the entrance and exit of the corridor outside the private room, and the surveillance cameras were switched off as well.
Marcus couldn’t find out more about the situation, so he had to call William. “Mr. Howard, Michael booked the entire first floor and the surveillance video has been turned off. We can’t get in at all, so what should we do now?”
“Just let it be!” William sneered. “Since there’s no way to find out, let him do whatever he wants.”
“Really? I feel that Michael is acting very strange tonight and I’m worried…”
William interrupted Marcus. “What are you worried about? Have you gone mad? Michael is not a fool. Since you can’t find out what he is going to do, I don’t think anyone else can as well. Why do we have to pay attention to this since he carried out his plan without leaving behind any evidence?”
Marcus touched his head because he didn’t quite understand what William meant. “Mr. Howard, what do you think Michael is doing?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t want to guess. Michael is a world-renowned lawyer and he’s a very smart man. He must have his own plan and we don’t have to worry about him at all. Just let him be and ask your men to retreat. Don’t disturb him.”
Marcus had no choice but to agree. “Since that’s the case, then there’s nothing left for us to do. I’ll ask them to leave.”
William hung up and went back to his room, where Valeria was leaning against the bed as she glared at him. “What are you sneaking around for? Did you call that scumbag, Michael, again?”
“No, I called Marcus to discuss the company. If you don’t believe me, you can check my phone.” William handed the phone over calmly, but Valeria didn’t even look at it. “You’ve probably already deleted all the evidence for me to see. Do you think I’m stupid?”
“Isn’t my wife silly all the time?” William smiled and touched her head.
Valeria pushed his hand away. “Don’t touch me!”
“Are you really angry? You can look at my recent call logs! Isn’t Marcus’ name on it?”
Valeria no longer doubted William when he showed his call logs to her. “Alright, I’ve wronged you and I’m sorry! Hubby, I want to sleep with my babies tonight.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s better to let the maid take care of them. You won’t be able to sleep well, and you don’t have the experience of taking care of children. What if you accidentally lie on them?”
“I won’t, I will be more careful.”
“Let’s discuss this after you complete your confinement period. It’s still not convenient for you to do that now. They’ll want to drink milk in the middle of the night, which will affect your sleep.”
Valeria was upset because William didn’t agree to let her sleep with her baby. “I want to feed them milk and change their diapers.”
“No problem. You can do whatever you want after the month is up, but not right now! The midwife said that you can’t move around too much during your confinement period because you might get sick in the future.”
“I’ll compromise.”
“I can tell your mother about this and I won’t stop you if she agrees.” Valeria had no choice but to say when William mentioned Natalie, “Why do you always use my mother to threaten me?! You’re being so unreasonable! Then can I just go and see them?”
“Alright, I’ll go with you!”
William took Valeria’s hand and went out to see the pair of twins sleeping soundly on the small bed.
Valeria looked at both of them. “They look so alike that I can’t tell them apart. Do they have to wear bracelets in the future so we can distinguish between them?”
“You’re so foolish!” William shook his head. “They don’t look completely alike and I can see a difference between them.”
“Where?”
“Cade has a mole on the back of his ear, but Santhos doesn’t.”
“Is that so? Let me take a look.” Valeria looked at the black spot behind Cade’s ear, but there wasn’t one on Santhos. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s so easy to recognize them now. I can just look behind their ears if I can’t tell them apart in the future.”
William burst into laughter. “You can’t always look behind their ears, right? You have to remember their habits.”
“How long has it been since they were born? They’ve just been lying down all the time, so how can you determine their habits?”
“I’m telling you, Cade is more patient, but Santhos is whinier and he will take the lead whenever they cry. Cade would always observe how Santhos cries out loud before he follows suit.”
“You’ve observed them very carefully.”
William replied proudly, “That’s right. I didn’t laze around at all these days. Apart from taking care of you and working occasionally, I’ve been keeping an eye on them.”
“Aren’t you proud of yourself?” Valeria rolled her eyes at William and looked down at two of her lovely sons. Her love for them grew every time she looked at them.
She couldn’t help kissing Cade and Santhos’ faces a few times every day. “Hurry up and grow up! I hope both of you can learn how to talk and call me Mom. Don’t call your Dad first!”
William looked at Valeria as if she was an idiot. Valeria looked at him threateningly before she kissed the twins again. William lowered his voice and said, “Be gentle, or you’ll wake them up.”
“I’m already being very gentle. Besides, these are my sons and I can kiss them as I like. Do you have anything against it?”
William couldn’t help laughing. “Okay, you can kiss them however you want, but you should rest soon? You can’t stay up late.”
“I know, you’re so annoying! I’m either eating or sleeping every day. I’m living like a pig and I think I’ll probably weigh at least 200 pounds after this month is over.” Valeria muttered and stood up.
William helped her up with a smile. “You’ll still be my darling wife even then.”
“You’re lying! I don’t believe you. Let me tell you, I’ve already asked someone to find a private trainer for me! I’ll start losing weight after my confinement month is over.”
“Who did you ask? Haven’t I prohibited all of them?”
“I know you don’t want me to hire a personal trainer, so I asked Thomas for help.”
William frowned when he heard that name. “How dare he contact you? I haven’t gotten even with him yet!”
