Wendy carried Zachary in her arms and shook her head. â I donât know. He might be entertaining guests somewhere.â
Warren suddenly looked at Wendy. âDid you get into a fight with Chris recently?â
âWhy the sudden question? No, I didnât.â Wendy played with Zachary with her usual smile.
Warren shook his head. âWell, I may be wrong. I just feel like you two arenât as close as you used to be.â
âHow can that be? Weâre already an old married couple. Maybe we donât have the passion like before, but our relationship is still good.â
âThatâs good.â
While they were talking, they saw Xavier coming this way with Daisy.
Warrenâs face sank. He grunted, âHere comes the real troublemaker.â
After he had said that, he stood up and wanted to walk away.
Wendy smiled and carried Zachary in her arms. âI think he came here to talk to you. Iâll take Zack and go.â
After that, she got up and left with Zachary in her arms.
Xavier noticed their interaction and nodded. âThank you, Wendy.â
Daisy nodded at her too. âMadam.â Wendy smiled and said nothing.
Warren sneered. He did not want to see Xavier at all, so he got up to leave.
Xavier hurriedly stood in front of him and stopped him from leaving. âDad, are you still angry?â
âHow can I be angry with you, young master?â Warren grunted in a dark tone.
When Xavier heard that, he immediately knew Warren was not truly angry with him. âDad, Iâm sorry. I know I was wrong.â âWhat did you do wrong? Youâre just going after your true love. My old-fashioned ways are now an obstacle to you!â
âDonât say that. I know youâre doing it for my own good â¦â Xavier softened up and apologized.
He helped Warren and sat down next to him. He gave Daisy a look as a signal. Daisy obediently sat beside him and called out to him, âUncleâ¦â
Warren had Xavier when he was already very old. With his age, he was old enough to be a grandfather to the two of them. However, he was Xavierâs father.
Daisy had wanted to call him grandpa, but she had to follow Xavierâs rank in the family and call him uncle. Her greeting made the air around them a little awkward.
Warren grunted again. âDonât call me that. I canât take it. â
âDad, donât talk to her like that. Youâll scare her.â
âYou havenât even married her yet, yet youâre so protective of her already?â
Xavier noticed Warrenâs displeasure. Therefore, he started acting shamelessly again. âSheâs just my girlfriend. If I really want to marry her, Iâll need your permission, donât I?â
âWith your attitude earlier, you look like youâre certainly going to marry her. Do you still need my permission? Canât you make your own decision?!â
âDad, thatâs not what I meant⦠Iâm just trying to get your blessing.â Warren could not do anything because Xavier had softened his attitude. The only thing he could do was to apologize to the Taylor family. After all, he was the one who had raised Xavier to be such an ungrateful son.
âGet out of my way! Stop being an eyesore here!â Warren frowned and impatiently told him to get lost.
Warren gave him a bad attitude , but Xavier knew it was his silent approval.
âDad, I was doing it for your sake tooâ¦â
âStop with your nice words now. You almost gave me a heart attack. Was that for my sake too?â.
Xavier had wanted to say something. Then, he saw Chris and Guinevere coming down from the second floor. He paused a little. These two were father and daughter-in law, but they looked like a good match.
