Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Get Married Quickly Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Get Married Quickly William Griffith remained silent, calmly drinking his tea. The grandmother, however, became more animated as she called out to Williamâs mother: âMay, did your daughter just say that my grandson has a romantic interest now?â
âMom, you heard it correctly. Hailey said so just now!â
May then turned to her daughter and asked, âIs this true? Does your brother really have a girl he likes? Who is she? Have you met her?â
âOf course, I have. Lewis has seen her too. She seems pretty, quiet, and in her early twenties. Very clean and refined!â
Oh? Lewis had seen her too? In that case, it seemed like William was serious this time. Previously, she and her husband had tried to arrange dates for him, but he always showed no interest. If it werenât for Lewis, she and her husband would have suspected their sonâs sexual orientation!
âWilliam, who is this girl? Tell us. If sheâs truly good, you two should get married quickly; donât dilly-dally.â
At this point, the old lady also spoke up: âYou and Yannis are both like this. Your grandparents have been worried to death. You have to tell us about the girlâs background to see if your families match.â
The Griffith family was strict about the background of potential spouses. Even if a girl wasnât from a prestigious family, she had to be from a family with a good reputation. Casual relationships with just any girl naturally wouldnât be approved.
As William listened to their words, his originally indifferent expression changed.
After glancing at Hailey, he said to his elders, âYou all know how Hailey is. She doesnât have a romantic interest; itâs just a friend!â
âA friend? Werenât you the one who couldnât eat spicy food? Would you cater to her taste for spicy food if she was just an ordinary friend? If it was an ordinary friend, would you not be at ease in the middle of the night and insist on sending her home? You havenât been like this with girls before!â
Hailey was like a loudspeaker, revealing everything.
The old lady felt there was something to it upon hearing this and eyed her grandson suspiciously.
William quickly turned his head, looked at Lewis, and waved to him, âLewis, letâs go home.â
By âhome,â he naturally meant Deep Wave Mansion. If he stayed in the main house tonight, he would definitely be interrogated by his family. He wasnât that stupid!
âOh, great-grandma, can you let me down? Iâm going home with dad!â
âBaby, why donât you stay at grandmaâs house tonight?â May suggested.
âNo, I want to be with dad!â
Upon hearing this, William thought, âThis little rascal! All the love and care for him werenât in vain!â
âLewis, is that auntie good or not?â The great-grandmother suddenly asked.
âGreat-grandma, which auntie are you talking about?â
The little guy spread his hands and thought, âTrying to dig a hole for me to jump into? I wonât fall for it!â
âMiles Griffith!â Aunt Hailey snapped, annoyed by his evasiveness.
âAuntie, you canât tell great-grandma wrong things. Naughty children tell lies. That auntie is just my dadâs friend!â
ââ¦â
Great-grandmother looked at Hailey with a disdainful glance.

William returned to Deep Wave Mansion with his son. As he lay in bed, his mind was filled with images of Cherish Turner.
Like this, he gradually fell asleep.
Lewis was sleeping soundly beside him, but in the middle of the night, he was suddenly startled awake!
âHmmâ¦â
In his sleep, Williamâs face was pale, and his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
â! Dad, whatâs wrong with you?â The little guy was woken up by Williamâs painful sounds, turned on the light, and saw his fatherâs distressed appearance, feeling scared!
What should he do?
His dad couldnât be woken up like this â would he die?
He didnât want his dad to die!
He quickly flipped through Williamâs phone and found the call history, dialing the first number.
Cherish Turner was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by a phone callâ¦
