“Tek this Saturday work for ven?
“I have a meeting this Saturday”
“I’ll take care of that,” William said with a smile.
Charles glared at William in response. The latter had just robbed him of his exc
That’s great I’ll go with you
excuse. He had no choice but to agree to the appointment on Saturday.
After dinner, Eloise called out to Charles, who wanted to go upstairs, and requested him to take a stroll with her. William wanted to join them, but Charles said that he would not go for a walk it Williams was poing a well
William scoffed and said. “I wouldn’t have offered to go II it wasn’t because of Eloise.”
The Robinson residence was very spacious, and it had naturaliste landscaping, complete with forests and lawns. At first, Eloise felt a little uneasy, but she let herself go when she realized how much more measy Charles was
“How old were you when you took over the family business?” Eloise chose a random topic.
Charles cast his mind to the past and said, “I had just graduated from college. At first, I wanted to go overseas, but I had to work in the family company because William’s grandfather was suddenly ill ‘
“What about Lam’s grandfather? 1 heard he’s your brother.”
“William didn’t make things clear to you. Actually, Liam’s grandfather is my cousin. Meanwhile, my father was the one who founded Robinson Group.
As a matter of fact, Eloise didn’t have a clear picture of the family tree. She thought Martha had two children; William’s uncle and father. It turned out they were actually cousins.
“William’s grandfather passed away not long after I started working in the company. So, I had to take over the company. There were a lot of troubles that accompanied his death. For a moment there, we were in a real bind.”
Charles sighed and nodded, “It was a harrowing time. To be frank, Robinson Group almost shut down back then. That was when we managed to secure a project that proved to be our lifeline “
Charles began to regale a tale of great dangers and his strength of character. According to him, he was perceptive and intelligent. Also, it was all thanks to has tenacious leadership and resolution that Robinson Group finally got back up on its fret
After that, many crises found their way to Robinson Group’s doorsteps. However, Charles led the company through and came out the other side stronger each time. That was how it came to be as powerful as it was today.
Before they knew it, the two of them had walked through another door and were entering the forest.
“Williams is destined to shoulder the entire company someday. That’s why I’ve raised him very strictly ever since he was a little boy, and 1 think that was
“The stricter I was, the more rebellious he became. William even asked to learn music when he was in middle school. I smashed his violin, and that led him to run away from home. We spent the next year searching for him before we finally tracked him down”
Charles got so upset that he patted his chest when he talked about the part of his family history.
Eloise pogled. “Perhaps that one year away from home bound William’s character and made him who he is now. With that said, did he love music that
Charles scoffed. “He merely did it to upset me. He triggered his grandduncle’s heart attacks whenever he played his violin.”
Eloise co’t hold her laughter back. Charles couldn’t resist laughing as well when he thought about this particular moment
“This rebellious son of mine raised all kinds of hell and brought discord to the entire Robinson family. To this day, his granduncle’s heart would race
“With that said, you’re right abou
about something After running away from home for a year, Willam came back a more mature and reliable man.”
“Do you know what William had been up to in that one year?“!
“Lord knows I never dared to find out about it.”
“I was worried that the answer might break my heart.”
Eloise turned ariand and said to Charles solemnly, “Rest assured. His stomach didn’t go empty, and he didn’t live in any harsh environments. He was
dite racker you remembered him to be.”
Charles grinned, and his eyes reddened. “I haven’t even told Mavis about any of this.”
“But you told me.”
“Yeah. That’s because you’re William’s wile, can entrust him to you without any worries.”
Both of them started walking back to the villa Charles fell silent for a while before he suddenly uttered, “Actually, we thought for sure that William
would remain single for the rest of his life.” Eloise was stunned. “What made you think so?”
