Then, his disbelief turned into shock and excitement.
He could not believe that Harold had managed to make such a big name for himself during the years that he had been away. Hence, he felt content and proud.
However, at the same time, his heart ached for Harold thinking about the amount of suffering and danger Harold must have gone through to get to where he was now.
Louis could not bring himself to imagine it.
“Dad, I...” Harold's voice trailed off as he was rendered speechless by the question.
After all, he had already made a name for himself five years ago, yet he did not return to visit his family. Thus, he had no idea how to answer the question.
“Louis, Harry must have his reasons for not telling us his identity. Don't blame him anymore.”
Seeing Louis scold Harold, his capable future son-in-law, Glen immediately spoke up to resolve the tension.
“Thank you, Mr. Zeller!” Harold whispered.
Despite his soft voice, Louis still heard Harold's voice since they were close to each other.
“Why are you still calling him Mr. Zeller? You should call him Dad now!”
Though Louis was inwardly pleased to see the subtle interaction between Harold and Glen, he still spoke sternly to maintain his dignity as Harold's father.
Hearing the three's conversation, Megan, who sat opposite them, lowered her head in embarrassment.
There was no sign of her previous disdain toward Harold.
However, it was unclear whether it was part of her act or if she was truly shy.
Felicia and Tiffany exchanged a glance and smiled. Judging by the current situation, they believed Harold and Megan's wedding was just around the corner.
Only Yvonne stared at Harold gloatingly.
I know Harold has never liked Megan since young. Now that he's the God of War, I bet he has even higher standards.
Suddenly, Harold announced, “Dad, I don't plan on marrying Megan. I'm already in love with someone else!”
Those were words no one expected.
Everyone stared at him in shock upon hearing his words.
The Zellers' expressions, in particular, immediately darkened.
Although Glen had a feeling Harold would break off the engagement when he saw Loraine at Golden Sands Hotel previously, he still could not help but feel quite displeased when Harold voiced it out.
Megan also raised her head abruptly and gazed at Harold.
Gone was her shy expression, replaced by a pitiful, miserable look. Tears gathered in her eyes as she stared at him sorrowfully.
Hearing the three's conversation, Megan, who sat opposite them, lowered her head in embarrassment.
Coupled with her exquisite makeup, any man would relent upon seeing her face.
Although Harold knew Megan liked to put on a pretense, his heart still softened seeing her gaze at him in such a manner.
However, upon recalling Isabella and the unforgettable scene he saw when he was young, he steeled his heart. He turned his head away from her, ignoring her tears which he did not know were real or fake.
Noticing Harold had turned his head away, Megan suddenly stood up and screamed, “Harold Campbell, I hate you!” Then, covering her mouth with her hands, she ran out, crying.
After confirming Harold was the legendary, mysterious, and mighty God of War the previous day, she felt a deep sense of regret for treating him with such an attitude.
However, at the same time, she was overjoyed.
After all, the God of War, the dream husband of all teenage girls, was her fiancé!
However, he was too distant, mysterious, and unrealistic for the average person.
No one even knew what he looked like or dared to imagine.
Only a stubborn woman like Isabella would secretly love him for years and refuse to accept any other man.
