Charles was actually the one who answered George’s call and happened to hear Ruth’s words.He was seething with anger for a while and did not know how to respond. When he saw Reina approaching, he coldly handed her the phone.The atmosphere in the castle fell into a strange silence.Generally speaking, at such times, the servants and bodyguards would automatically retreat. This was especially true for those who were reporting on official business. They knew better than to cause trouble at this time. The duke tended to involve others without reason when he was angry.However, Abel was unaware of this.Of course, it was also possible that he did it intentionally.Abel casually comforted him, “Did Ruth say that? She’s not wrong, you indeed aren’t her father. But it was impolite of her for being so direct. I apologize on her behalf.”Reina was speechless. She thought. “Silly boy, if you want to play like this, I can’t guarantee that you’ll get home tomorrow night.”Charles glared a

During a break in the conversation, a private jet descended. It touched down on the runway and decelerated as it taxied toward them. Ruth and her group went out to welcome it.After the plane stopped, four bodyguards got off first and took positions on either side of the steps. Then, Abel walked down and stood at the side before he reached behind like a gentleman.A young and elegant woman came out. She was dressed in casual clothes, a hat, and a mask. She placed her hand in Abel’s and descended gracefully. Immediately following her was a young girl who sprang down the steps three at a time.“Thanks, Abel. I can get down myself!” The girl jumped down and threw herself at Ruth. “Ruth! I’ve missed you so much! Did you miss me?!”Ruth reached out to catch her and greeted her perfunctorily while her gaze drifted helplessly toward Abel who was walking at the back.After not seeing him for a week, Abel seemed even more handsome and charming.After Lily hugged her, she quickly stuck to

Apollo’s eyes flickered. “You know Demz?”Lily raised her chin proudly. “Of course! I know all of Ruth’s friends! It’s a pity that I haven’t seen Abel in the past, but I’ve finally seen him now! He’s as handsome as I imagined. It’s just that Father and Mother are so annoying. They claim to have important matters to deal with and won’t let me play with everyone. Fortunately, Ruth promised me a while ago that I could come see Grandpa. Otherwise, they might not have brought me along this time!”Apollo was speechless.Lily was talking so much that he did not even know where to start with her. She was quite the little chatterbox. So, he decided to dive straight into the topic that interested him the most.“Your mom and dad have different nationalities. Why don’t you look like a mixed-race all? You actually look like a pure Sommersettian!”“Mother said that it’s enough for a girl to inherit her mother’s beauty. I don’t need to be like Father!”This little chatterbox had quite a sharp t

“Father, don’t be angry. We definitely didn’t mean it that way.”Abel’s voice was gentle as he comforted them. “It’s not that the Blakewell family looks down on anyone, but we were concerned that without any respected elders in the Blakewell family, we might unintentionally neglect the two of you. My grandparents and a few uncles really want to meet everyone, so the entire family was waiting.”George knew what was going on. Upon hearing this, his eyebrows twitched slightly. “Without any respected elders.” The phrasing was ingenious.As expected, when the angry Charles heard this, he immediately deflated like a balloon and even felt a little guilty. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know your father didn’t have any elders.”Abel pursed his lips slightly and fell silent for a few seconds. He did not correct Charles’s misinterpretation. “Don’t worry, from now on, Ruth’s grandfather will be your grandfather! With two grandfathers now, it can make up for the lack of paternal grandparents!”Ruth’s e

Charles stopped abruptly because the person standing at the door was Ruth.Ruth raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had not expected this uncharacteristic reaction.The well-prepared, rational, and clear-cut words that he was about to say simply stopped.“Father, who are you waiting for?”Charles quickly schooled his expression. “You haven’t gone to sleep yet?”Ruth nodded. “I knew you couldn’t sleep, so I wanted to talk to you. Can I come in?”Charles paused for a moment and looked hesitant. “You’re an adult now. It’s not good to have a man and a woman talk alone in a room so late at night.”Ruth smiled. “Indeed, I’m an adult now and have the ability to see reason. But you don’t seem to think so. You even treat me like a child.”Her words were pointed and caused Charles to purse his lips in silence.After some thought, he finally turned to the side and moved aside. After some thought, he eventually stepped aside.Ruth walked in and, after another moment of thought, Charl
