However, Hayden didn’t take it seriously. “It’s okay. they’re still young. I’ll teach them when I grow up.”
Valeria also added, “Dad, you really can’t spoil them like this. It’s not good for the children.”
“No, you guys are too careful! You and William are so strict. Can’t I spoil them a bit?”
“You can’t spoil them like this too! Honey, dad pretended to be a horse and allowed Cade and Santhos to ride on him today. They went round by round today, so I’m worried about dad’s health.”
“It’s okay, I can exercise! After all, crawling on the ground is the best way to exercise.”
William was even more upset when he heard that. “We need to teach our children since they’re young. Dad, if you spoil them like this again, I will move out with Valeria.”
After hearing this, Hayden blew his beard and glared at them. “Sure, you and Valeria can move out and live in your own world. However, I have to stay with my two grandsons.”
When Valeria saw that William and Hayden were arguing for the sake of the child, she could only reach out to hold William’s hand and tell him not to compete with Hayden.
Meanwhile, the housekeeper also came over to call for dinner, and they went to the restaurant.
At dinner, Valeria and William ate while feeling both Cade and Santhos. Both of them liked to eat steamed meat. They pointed at the steamed meat and kept eating. Valeria didn’t dare to give them more, so she changed the dishes after feeding them. However, both of them refused to give up and wanted to continue eating the steamed meat.
Soon, Hayden started to stir up trouble again. “Let them eat if they like. Why are you starving my grandsons?”
“I’m afraid that if they eat too much, they won’t be able to digest it. It’s bad for their health.”
“It’s okay. I asked the doctor to check on them today, and the two little guys are in good health. You and William can eat yourselves, so I’ll feed them.” Hayden said as he moved the small chairs that Cade and Santhos were sitting to the front of him. After that, he began to feed Cade and Santhos.
Valeria and William had helpless expressions on their faces. He wanted to speak but was stopped by Valeria’s hand.
Both of them ate until their mouths were covered with oil. However, Hayden had a loving smile on his face as he said, “Eat more, alright? You need to eat more and grow taller. I’m waiting till the day when I can take you guys and your sister out from a ride.”
William and Valeria smiled helplessly when they heard this. However, they couldn’t care less about Hayden. After eating, they got up and left the dining table for a walk in the garden. Hence, they left Cade and Santhos to Hayden.
On the other hand, Bobby also brought Jacelyn to the garden. At this time, William frowned and said, “It’s really not good for Dad to spoil them like this. I was not joking just now. I really want to move out.”
“Don’t say that. After all, Dad loves them too much. How sad do you think he will be if he hears you say that you want to move out?”
“Ask Andrew to come back to accompany Dad.”
When they mentioned Andrew, Valeria immediately brought up Anna. “How’s Andrew and Anna’s relationship progressing? You have to ask Andrew. If he and Anna are satisfied with each other, are they going to get engaged?”
“Them?” William shook his head and replied, “That’s impossible!”
“What do you mean? Why is it impossible? Don’t they like each other very much?”
William thought about how he had seen Anna and Raymond drinking afternoon tea during the day. Hence, he smiled and said, “You can call Anna yourself.”
“Do you know something? Just tell me if you know. Stop being this mysterious!”
“Nah, it’s better for you to ask the person involved.” William refused to say anything.
After that, Valeria glared at William and dialled Anna’s number. However, Anna picked up with a sweet voice and said, “Valeria, what’s up?”
She didn’t call her nickname like she used to. Instead, she called Valeria by her name, so Valeria immediately asked her, “Why did you stop calling me by my nickname?”
Anna glanced at Raymond, who was sitting opposite her, and said, “You’re a few days older than me, so I feel that it’s better for me to call you by your name.”
“What’s wrong with that? Are you planning to ignore my nickname and continue to call me by my full name when you marry Andrew later?”
“Well, we can talk about the future later. Haha!” Anna laughed and replied.
However, Raymond immediately became upset when he heard what Valeria had said. She was too busy finding a wife for Andrew, and she had forgotten about her brother. This was out of line!
He immediately started dry coughing. Valeria heard Raymond’s dry cough, but she didn’t recognise him as Raymond. Hence, he only heard a man’s voice. Who was Anna with now?
“Anna, who are you with?”
Of course, Anna would not say that she was with Raymond. Hence, she lied and said, “With my brother!”
Ah, it turned out that he was with Richard. Hence, Valeria didn’t beat around the bush no longer and asked Anna directly, “Anna, how are things between you and Andrew?”
“That… that, I think Mr. Howard is very nice and excellent. I don’t think I’m good enough for him.”
After hearing Anna’s words, Raymond was unhappy. He Andrew was very good and excellent, but she was not good enough for him. Hence, she decided to find someone who was not as excellent like him?
He coughed heavily again. When Valeria heard what Anna had said, she looked at William with a stunned expression. Meanwhile, William moved his head closer and listened to Valeria and Anna’s conversation as he smiled.
“So both of you aren’t dating anymore?” Valeria asked.
“No!”
“All right then!” Valeria thought that Anna would be with Andrew.
However, the result was completely different from what she had thought. After that, Andrew wouldn’t say any sweet words to please a woman. Hence, did both he and Anna stop talking to each other because of this?
She hung up the phone and looked at William. “Call Andrew and ask him what’s going on.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea. After all, Andrew is already an adult, right? It’s not right for me to ask about this kind of thing, can I?”
“What’s wrong with that? His parents are gone. As his uncle, you should take his marriage seriously, right? Hurry up and help Andrew.”
“Got it. I’ll be going to Andrew’s company tomorrow for business, so I’ll talk to him nicely.”
“Take my words to heart, alright? Don’t be perfunctory. Andrew must get married this year.”
“This… dear, we’re talking about marriage here! We’re not doing some random shopping here! Andrew has to look for the right person, right?”
“Anyway, I don’t care! If Andrew can’t get married this year, it’s your fault!”
“Okay, alright! I’ll pay more attention to Andrew’s problem too, so you should remember what I said.”
“What are you talking about?”
“We should have another daughter…”
“William, you’re going too far, aren’t you?” Valeria glared at William. William smiled with a pleading look before saying desperately, “No! My wife is the best!”
Valeria couldn’t bear to see him like this, so he subconsciously softened his tone. “What if we have another son?”
“No, we won’t have a son. We must have a daughter!” William answered with certainty.
“Hah! Are you God? Or do you think I’m a fool? If we have another son, we’ll have three sons. We’re already suffering this much by having two sons. Can you imagine what we will go through if we have three?”
“No, it won’t be a son! It will be a daughter! We will be giving birth to a daughter because I said so! At that time, we will…” William whispered to Valeria.
Valeria’s face suddenly turned red after hearing this. She pushed William away and walked away. “Humph! I’ll ignore you!”
