Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573 Sending Gifts

Welson Harley was a man of privilege. He was rarely treated with such an attitude. The colors on his face instantly turned dull at Elspeth's words. Nonetheless, he had worked so hard to locate his long-lost daughter that he was too embarrassed to reprimand her. "Elspeth, I—"

However, Elspeth retained her cold attitude. "That's enough, Mr. Harley. If there is nothing else to address, I will leave first." With that, she turned around to leave while the butler on her side quickly tagged along.

Once she left, Welson heaved a heavy sigh. "Yozan, have I ever mistreated you after all these years? I gave you the best education, supported you financially, and even let you inherit the family business." He thought he had given his son everything he could besides the unnecessary fatherly love.

However, Yozan didn't seem to be content with them. Even after obtaining everything he could, he still longed for his father's attention and concern. In addition, he should not expect those from Welson because he wasn't going to give those to him.

On the other hand, every time Welson looked at Yozan, it brought back memories of a woman desperately trying to get into his bed twenty years ago. How appalling! As a result, Welson harbored deep resentment toward his son. Hence, when the woman who gave birth to his son died from complications during labor, he could finally resolve one of his concerns. Nonetheless, he found it absurd that she had gone through so much to bring Yozan into the Harley Family, only to die before she could enjoy the blessing.

Watching his father plunge into his own thoughts, Yozan frowned. "I don't need any of those from you." He was born and raised in the Harley Family, so it stood to reason that he should be grateful. Unfortunately, he was a rebel. Growing up, he always felt wronged and aggrieved. Perhaps, he was mindful of too many things at once and always dreamed about having something unreachable.

"What are you talking about? Are you sure you don't need any of these?" Welson snickered at his son's statement. "Without our family, you are nothing. Don't you think you sound ridiculous?"

Yozan's face turned pallid after hearing that. He's right; I am nothing without the Harley Family. Perhaps, I would have been abandoned in an unknown orphanage where others would have bullied me. Afraid of saying anything that might provoke Welson, he lowered his head. "I'm sorry."

On the other hand, Welson wouldn't let his son go like that. After all, Yozan had told Elspeth everything earlier. "If an apology worked in every case, why do we even need the police?" Anger boiled in Welson's chest. "What were you thinking? How could you tell her all that?!"

Yozan had accidentally blurted the truth out of impulse. However, he reasoned that informing her ahead of time, before she found out on her own, was a better idea. "I have told you before. Elspeth is skilled in hacking. Do you think she wouldn't run a background check on you after she gets to know you? If you don't tell her in advance, there's no way she'll accept you once she finds out that you've been hiding the truth all along." He was clearly trying to justify himself by saying that, but he was also plainly speaking his mind.

"Your words appear to make sense." Welson glanced at his son, feeling his anger dissipate a little. "So, what do you think we should do now?" Even though he looked down on Yozan, he believed his son was helpful in times of crisis.

"Our priority now is to think of a solution to win Elspeth's heart." Looking at the contemptuous expression on his father's face, Yozan clenched his fists. "If you want her to accept you, you should first gain her mother's trust."

After hearing that, Welson did notice that Elspeth only wavered at the mention of her mother. "Okay. I know what to do now." He smiled with satisfaction. "Since you gave me a good suggestion, I'll treat it as you made up for your mistake this time. Let's forgo the punishment."

In an indifferent tone, Yozan uttered, "Thank you, Father."
