The intimate moans of pleasure lasted until the middle of the night.
William was delighted after being able to make love with Valeria.He stared at her sleeping figure and he
kissed her cheeks.
William finally got what he wanted and he felt overjoyed.
Just as he got up for a smoke, his phone rang.
Lucas, the butler called, "Sir, come home immediately.Sir Hayden is looking for you!"
"Is it something urgent?" William asked.
"You'll know when you come back.It's an emergency!"
"Okay, I'll be right back!"
William put on his clothes and kissed Valeria.
Then, he strode downstairs.
In the Howard family's villa, the lights were on.
Hayden sat on the sofa with a sullen face.
The sound of the engine of a car came from outside.
Soon, William strode in.
When he saw Hayden's stern expression, he froze for a moment, "Dad, who made you angry?"
Hayden looked at him and asked, "Are you dating Mason Eich's girlfriend?"
"Yes, well, not his girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend.Wait, how do you know about it?" William asked.
"How can I not notice when you do that so obvious?"
Hayden's face was dark, "I know you like to play around so I never stopped you.But what's up with you
and Mason's ex girlfriend? Are you short of women?"
"Dad, none of us are married so isn't it normal for us to date? Also, what has Mason got to do in this?"
"You know Mason is an assh*le! So why are you dating his ex- girlfriend? Don't you find that
shameful?"
"What is so embarrassing about this? She's such a kind and beautiful woman! It's normal for me to fall
for someone like that!"
"No! You can be with anyone but her! Break up with her immediately!"
Hayden didn't leave any room for negotiation.
"I think I won't do that!"
William would never agree to this.
"William, take it as I'm begging you, please leave her, will you?"
Hayden softened down his tone, "Once you leave her, I won't stop you from being with anyone else!"
"But I only like her! I don't like any other women."
Upon hearing William's words, Hayden became even angrier, "If you don't listen to me, then I'll go find
Valeria! I' d like to see how she seduced my son"
"Dad, do you think anyone can seduce me easily? To be honest with you, it was me who approached
her first.She didn't even want to be with me initially! If you mess up my relationship with her, don't
blame me when I cut off all connections with the family!"
"How dare you threaten me because of a woman!"
Hayden looked at William in disbelief.
"Dad, everything else can be discussed but not her! She's the one I'm going to marry"
"What? Do you want to marry her?! This is too much!"
Hayden looked at William in shock.
After they stared at each other for a while, Hayden suddenly put his hand on his chest and fell back.
William was startled.
He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
The butler, Lucas, rushed in as soon as he heard the commotion, "Send him to the hospital now! He's
passed out!"
Hayden was soon sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The doctors were doing whatever they could inside.
William leaned against the wall with a dark face.
Hayden had never cared about his matters in the past, so no matter what kind of scandal he had
caused, he would ignore them.
Why did he care so much about Valeria and him dating this time? It was so strange! He couldn't figure it
at all.
Lucas stood next to him and tried to persuade him.
"Sir, it's just a woman.If your father doesn't like her, why not just break it off?"
"No! It's not that easy for me to do it!"
"But Sir Hayden...He's so strongly opposed to it, so he definitely won't agree.What's going to happen if
you keep on provoking him?"
"Um..."
William was very frustrated.
On one side, there was Hayden, who could easily be provoked and fall sick, while on the other side
was Valeria, whom he could never abandon.
It was really hard for him to make a decision.
After waiting in the emergency room for more than an hour, Hayden was finally pushed out.
The doctor reminded him, "He's getting old and his heart is weak.It's best if you don't provoke him.Just
do whatever he asks of you."
After they sent Hayden to the ward, William sat down on the sofa with a serious expression on his face
as he held his phone.
Lucas rarely saw William acting like this.He had always been cynical and did not care about anything.
It seemed like today's incident had put him in a tight spot.
Lucas's heart ached for William.
He sighed and said, "Sir, your father is fine now.I'll stay here with him so you can go back home and
rest"
William shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll stay here with him."
Lucas saw that William was unwilling to leave, so he did not try to persuade him further.
William leaned against the sofa and took out his phone to send a message to Bobby.
"I won't go back tonight.You head back to the villa first.I'm afraid that she might be scared if she's alone'
Bobby read William's text and shook his head.
He never expected William to be so sweet to even care if Valeria was afraid of being alone.He replied
with a 'sure' and he prepared to leave.
A woman and a man walked into the parking space.
The woman sounded overjoyed, "Everything is going as planned, wonderful!"
Wasn't this Julie Evans' voice? Why was she here at the hospital at this hour? Bobby thought to
himself.
Then he heard the man spoke up, "Yeah, who would have thought that you're still able to get pregnant
at this age! If the child is a baby boy, that would be even better!"
"Shh!"
Julie was very alert.
She reached out her hand and nudged the man.
The two of them went straight to the car and didn't speak anymore.
Bobby, who was in the car, heard the conversation between the two of them clearly.
He was extremely shocked.
How could Julie get pregnant at such an old age? Wasn't that a little too crazy? In a rented house on
the west side of the city, Ashley was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Ever since she fainted in the hospital that day, everything had changed.
Mason sent her a cruel break-up message.
Ronald rushed to the hospital to hit Julie out of embarrassment.
This was not the bad part.
The worst part was that Ronald didn't allow her and Julie to enter the family house anymore after he
knew that Mason had broken up with her.
Ronald was ruthless.
She lost her job and her reputation was destroyed.
Mason didn't want her anymore and she miscarried and lost her child.
All these series of things made Ashley fell into despair! She was so dispirited that she could only lie on
the bed and not move all day long.
A voice came from outside the door.
Julie pushed the door open and came in with a smile, "Hey, mom has something to tell you!"
Looking at the happy face of Julie, Ashley did not react at all and she continued to stare at the ceiling
emptily.
Julie reached out her hand and nudged her, "Did you hear me? We're gonna return to the Brown family
tomorrow!"
"Mom, stop dreaming! Now that we are in such a situation, we are completely useless to dad.Dad is so
cold- hearted ..He could already be so cruel to Valeria, do you think he would accept us?' Ashley said
in frustration.
"Hey, we're not at the ends of our rope yet.I have a trump card in store!" Julie said mysteriously.
Ashley still had no response.
Seeing that Ashley was indifferent to her words, Julie was a little angry.
"Are you even listening to me?"
"I'm listening! But mom, I don't think your trump card would be useful."
"That's not necessarily true.Your father has always regretted that he has no sons.If I can give birth to a
son for him, everything will be different!"
Julie said as she reached out and touched her belly.
"Son? You're pregnant?"
Seeing Julie's movements, Ashley sat up in shock.
