In the Gurney family’s villa, Evelyn called Francis early in the morning. “Grandpa, I have decided to visit you tomorrow.”
Francis disagreed. “Who agreed to let you come over? You are not allowed to come to B City anymore!”
“I don’t care and I’ll come over no matter what. If you don’t allow, I’ll just go kill myself, since there’s no point of me living anymore!” Evelyn threatened.
Francis scolded angrily, “Nonsense! If you keep up the ignorance, I will make your parents lock you up.”
Hearing Francis’s words, Evelyn hung up the phone angrily. In the past, no matter what she did, as long as she acted like a spoiled child, Francis’ heart would soften down. But now he was indifferent, which was very suspicious.
Could that damned woman, Azalea, be playing tricks on him?
Why did her grandpa bring Azalea home? Did he take a fancy to Azalea and wanted to…
No matter what, she had to go and have a look even if Francis did not allow!
Evelyn’s call made Francis unhappy. He also noticed how he had already brought Azalea back for so long yet Michael did not even give a damn about her.
He couldn’t help but become agitated. He told Frederick about this matter in the study and said, “What does Michael plan to do? He didn’t care about Azalea when he was abroad, but now he’s back, so why is he acting this way?”
“How about you call Michael and ask him to come over?” Frederick suggested.
“I thought of doing so, but then what?” Francis touched his forehead and continued, “Telling her what Azalea is my daughter right away and ask him to be nice to her? I can’t say that.”
Frederick knew that Francis cared about his image, so telling Micahel right away that he had an illegitimate daughter was embarrassing. Frederick then volunteered, “Why not let me tell Michael?”
“It’s not right…” Francis sighed. “You are representing me, so it’s still embarrassing.”
“We can’t just hide this issue in the long run. If you want the Davis family to treat her well, the members of the family have to know her real identity.”
“I know. I’m in a dilemma now. So, I can’t make a big announcement and I have to tell the Davis family in private. Will the Davis family believe me if I tell them Azalea is my daughter?”
As soon as Francis finished speaking, the sound of broken porcelain came from the door of the study.
Frederick quickly opened the door and saw Azalea in the wheelchair, looking extremely shocked.
Seeing that it was Azalea, Frederick was a little surprised. Azalea must have heard his conversation with Francis just now. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have such an expression on her face. He couldn’t scold Azalea. “Why are you here?”
“I… I brought tea for Mr. Gurney…” Azalea did not mean to eavesdrop. She really wanted to please Francis, so she sent tea over. She did not expect to hear such news as well.
“You… Was what you guys said true?”
Since Azalea had asked, Francis did not intend to hide it anymore. He motioned for Frederick to push Azalea forward.
Frederick pushed Azalea into the study and closed the door. Francis sighed and said, “Yes, what I just said is true. You are my daughter.”
“What…” Francis confirmed her identity and Azalea was ecstatic. She secretly pinched her palm and felt the pain.
This was not a dream! It was real!
No wonder Francis suddenly treated her so well. God was being nice to her!
Azalea was so happy and did not feel uncomfortable at all. In contrast, she was ecstatic. Azalea really wanted to jump up and scream at this moment.
It was just that her legs were not working now, and the current situation did not allow her to scream wildly. She prepared her emotions for a while, and her eyes turned red as she sobbed at Francis. “Father! Boohoo… I didn’t expect that I have a father.”
As she cried, she pushed the wheels into the wheelchair and rushed to Francis’s side. She reached out and hugged Francis’ waist.
She was an actress, and her performance were flawless.
Francis’ eyes reddened when he saw Azalea hugging him and calling him father. “Azalea, you’ve suffered! It was all my fault before. From now on, I won’t let anyone bully you anymore!”
This was exactly what Azalea needed. With the big support of the Gurney family, what was she afraid of? Meadow and Wayne would definitely treat her well as before.
She no longer had to worry about being bullied by them, and when Michael knew that she was the daughter of the Gurney family, he would definitely change his cold attitude.
She was pregnant with Michael’s child, so it was natural for her to marry him.
After hugging Francis and crying for a while, Frederick persuaded Azalea and Francis to stop crying.
Francis had been worried that Azalea would reject him and refuse to accept him because of his identity. He had not expected Azalea to accept him so readily. Since everything was fine on her size, the next issue would be regarding the Davis family’s side.
Francis then asked Azalea, “What happened to you and Michael? Why hasn’t he shown up yet?”
“He hates me!” Azalea did not hide anything and admitted. “Michael hates me, Wayne, and Meadow. The Davis family thought that I was the daughter of the Floyd family, so they treated me well. After Michael knew that I had nothing to do with the Floyd family, he impregnated me in order to take revenge on Wayne and Meadow.”
“So he doesn’t wanna marry you?” Francis asked.
“Yeah! The purpose of him having me here was to disgust Wayne and Meadow.”
“That’s a little tricky. I thought you and Michael had feelings for each other, but Wayne and Meadow looked down on you because of your identity. Otherwise, you would have married Michael. Since this is not the reason, it’s not easy for you to marry Michael anymore.”
“As long as you tell the Davis family who I am, I believe that their attitude will change. Even if Michael doesn’t want to marry me, he has to consider the relationship with the Gurney family.”
Azalea was very optimistic but Francis didn’t think so. “Back then, everyone treated you as the Miss of the Floyd family but Michael he was indifferent to you. How could the Gurney family compare with the Floyd family, hm?”
Azalea touched her belly. “It was different back then. I have a child now. I had nothing to do with him back then, you know.”
The child was indeed an important factor. Gurney also felt that he could only rely on the child. “Now that Michael has not made any move, let’s contact him first and see his attitude on this matter for now.”
“Let me contact him.” Azalea volunteered. “I’ll contact him and tell him about my relationship with you. Then let’s see what he’ll say and do.”
Francis thought for a moment and agreed. “Okay, I’ll leave it to you then.”
