“Really 7" The tone of Bill's voice changed drastically. He sounded excited, fanatical even.

“Of course, it's true." Vivian added proudly, "It's high time I meet the rest of my family. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that I haven't even met my own grandfather yet."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Vivian, you are right! I'LL go with you!"

Before her father could finish speaking, the voice of another woman lazily rang out from his phone.

“Who is that? Can you keep your voice down?”

Vivian's eyes widened and her heart started beating faster.

Who was with her father?

Was her father having an affair with another woman behind her mother's back?

No!

Vivian snapped out of her thoughts when she suddenly recognized the voice of the woman with her father!

With a cautious approach, she asked, “Dad? Are you... Are you with Aunt Patricia?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before Bill's laughter followed.

“Yes! Patricia and I had an appointment with a client today. We had too much to drink during our lunch, so we decided to stay here and sober up."

Then Patricia said, “Vivian, I overheard you just now. Are you going to Broome to meet your grandfather? That's great. I will get you a gift to celebrate such a joyous occasion. It will be the first time you meet your grandfather in person. Keep in mind to be in your best pohevioneN “What? Oh, thank you for reminding me. I almost forgot!"

Vivian's doubts were dispelled after speaking with Patricia.

She was moved by the love and consideration her Aunt Patricia had shown her.

“Vivian, your father and I are at the hotel right now. Can you come here now? Let's go shopping together. I want to buy you some new dresses before you visit the Smith family."

Patricia's warm voice almost moved Vivian to tears.

“Yes! Thank you, Aunt Patricia. I'll be right there!"

Maria and Anthony were in the walk-in closet of the villa, preparing for their upcoming trip.
