Hearing that an honored guest was driving a luxury car over, the housekeeper quickly came out with people to welcome him. When he saw a stranger, he was obviously stunned and nodded casually with a smile.
"May I ask what you need help with?"
Although he came out in front of his own house, he saw that the license plate was not local and was very unfamiliar with it. The butler was afraid that he was thinking too much. He took the wrong way, so he was a little humble.
Wyatt was here to ask for forgiveness, so he didn't know what was going on. He nodded and greeted them, "Hello!"
Subconsciously, he had determined that Waverly's father might be a servant, but he also felt that it was inappropriate for him to say that he was looking for the servants in the mansion. After thinking for a while, Wyatt continued,
"May I ask if there is a person with the last name Castle here?"
"Huh?"
After a pause, the housekeeper said, "This is the old house of the Castle family. There are a few people with the last name Castle. Are you here to visit our master or...?"
"No, no! I'm here for Mr. Castle. He looks about 50 years old. His daughter is Waverly..."
For a moment, he did not think of Abel's name. Wyatt waved his hand, afraid that someone would misunderstand that he was here to curry favor with her. He had just wanted to ask him, "Do you know this person?" His mind was still thinking about how to explain before he could understand. If he wanted to point out Waverly's identity of "a little widow", the butler couldn't help but laugh out loud before Wyatt had cleared his mind.
"Isn't that our Old Master and Miss? We have two Misses, Miss Waverly, and Miss Cecilia. Sir, you are?"
The butler looked at him up and down in confusion. He felt that he was very goodlooking and had an extraordinary temperament. He seemed to be either a rich or a noble man. However, his words seemed contradictory. For a moment, he was not sure what was going on.
The next second, Wyatt exclaimed, "Huh?"
Suddenly, his eyes focused on the magnificent mansion behind him. "Waverly is the eldest daughter of the Castle family? Is she the daughter of a rich and powerful family?"
No wonder she could afford to live in a mansion and drive a sports car with such a low salary in Casterwich City, and occasionally be generous.
No wonder when her mansion was broken into, she didn't even flinch, and she didn't worry about losing anything!
No wonder she could buy seven houses in one go!
No wonder sometimes he felt that she was spoiled.
He had never known that her family was so rich. He always thought that she was rich because she relied on the marriage of a rich family and became a widow! Since she was so capable, why did she beg for Franklin? Since she was the daughter of a rich family, she was thought to be vain. Why didn't she refute it? Even he always thought that she chose to marry an old man for money due to limited conditions, then bore the title of a widow.
Now that he thought about it, he was wrong. They were all wrong!
Her family was so powerful that she could not be looked down upon. Why didn't she mention it? And the last time he saw her father, he was the cleaner in the hotel lobby!
As memories flooded into his mind, Wyatt was in a mess. Had he never really understood her?
Was it because he cared too little about her, or was it because she had never revealed her true feelings towards him, so she had always kept her family background a secret and never mentioned it?
While his mind was still in a mess, Wyatt instinctively took out his business card and handed it over. "Is Waverly here? I want to see her! Can you help me report it?"
Taking over the business card, the housekeeper dropped his eyes in shock and said with more respect, "It's the famous Mr. Johnson. I've heard a lot about you! Please allow me to tell you—"
Although the inside story was limited, Wyatt's name was not unfamiliar to the butler. He didn't dare to let anyone in rashly. He called first and then turned back.
"Mr. Johnson, please come inside!"
After entering through the gates, Wyatt became even more nervous. Everything he saw was beyond his expectations. Every step he took felt like the tip of a needle, and he felt as if he was getting closer to Waverly.
When he entered the living room and saw the old man who looked cold, strange and familiar, his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He stepped forward and gave his father a respectful bow.
"Mr. Castle—"
He was already feeling guilty, and at this moment, he felt even more ashamed to face the old man. He didn't expect that they would meet for the first time in such a situation. The first time was to apologize, and this time it was to ask for forgiveness.
He didn't ask them to get up. Abel waved his hand and said, "All of you can leave!"
