Chereads / Millionaire’s genius wife / Chapter 30 - Sudden visit

Chapter 30 - Sudden visit

William watched Caleb stumble out and enter his mansion. " Please head to my fiancee's apartment."

" Yes, sir." the driver said as they headed to Wish's apartment. Once he reached, his head was starting to feel dizzy as the whiskey took in. She received the door shortly after and was surprised to see him. " Why are you here?"

" You've got whiskey right?" he entered, crashing on the couch. One glass of whiskey at the bar wasnt enough for him today.

" Uhh....yeah i think there is..." she hurried to one of the cabinets and looked through the bottles, " The cabinet is filled with alcohol for decoration that i dont even need."

Finding the whiskey bottle, she poured it for him, " Did you have a bad day?"

He finished the glass in one go and nodded. He had to finish some paperworks and on top of that, the news of Julie coming back. It was a bad day indeed.

He continued drinking the whiskey, " Wish, as i said dont worry about your sister's surgery. I will not let it be stopped."

His sudden words made her feel relieved again. Yesterday after Brent comforted her, she had felt a lot better. If it werent for him, she didnt know what she would be doing right now. " Thankyou so much Brent."

" When is the surgery?"

After a bit of silence she replied, "....tomorrow." she was a little worried since it was tomorrow and what if Brent would feel pressured because he had other meetings in his office.

" Dont worry...." he said seeing her worried expression, " your sister's health is more important. I will make sure there are no problems."

Wish nodded feeling warm-hearted. Who would have thought the troublesome heir had this kind side to him? She felt like she had found a new side of William and it was refreshing.

By now, the whiskey had pretty much kicked in and he was only mumbling. When he tried to pour another drink, Wish stopped him, " Its enough for today. "

He sighed loudly and rested his head on the sofa's head. William had already passed out after she finished cleaning up. Suddenly, his phone rang which was resting on the table.

Father....

" oh....Mr.Brent?" she was confused if she should receive it or not. " maybe i could tell him he is in mine."

She sat beside William and answered the phone. Before she could speak, Mr.brent's voice roared, " Son??? where are you??? i have been calling you from the afternoon, is it that hard to receive a call??"

" Umm...Mr.brent...." the other line went silent after she spoke up, " This is me Wish."

" Ohhh myy....its daughter-in-law! sorry for shouting in your ears, dear. I was just worried."

" Ahh...its okay, Mr.brent. Actually Brent is in mine and he will stay here for the night. I am sorry if it was late."

There was a brief silence. " ahahaha....is that so?" Wish could feel his smile from the voice. It was embarrassing. " Fine. Fine. Have fun, dear."

" Mr.brent, its nothing like that-"

" Oh by the way..." he cut her in a more serious tone. " I heard about the postponement...."

She bit her lips, feeling a little guilty, " Y-yes, Mr.brent."

" I do understand the postponement. I mean if it were me, i would do that too. You can take your time knowing each other."

Sometimes she thought how could Mr.Brent be so understanding and kind-hearted. It blew her mind. Only if her wretched father could learn from him. " Thankyou for being understanding. It means a lot."

" Its my pleasure, dear. One more thing.....you Are going to marry William, right?"

Wish was caught off guard by his sudden question. She gulped hard, tightening her fist. " yes.....Mr.brent."

" Thats a relief then. I will be sleeping now so goodnight to both of you."

" By-bye, goodnight Mr.brent..."

After the call ended, she stared in a daze. Mr.brent's question was still ringing in her head. Her plan was to actually bring father down and the marriage wasnt supposed to interfere. But why did she feel so guilty of just postposing a marriage? On top of that, she had promised to never marry a womaniser. Recently, she had changed a lot from the beginning. It scared her that it might effect her plans.

Coming out of her thoughts, she noticed that her hands were still holding his phone. Although it was not a good idea, she still opened the phone. She swiped and checked the gallery. " no photos?" He was even more boring than her. His phone literally had nothing interesting. There were nothing on his social medias too. He really just used his phone to make calls.

" ummm...." he whined suddenly, making Wish jump. But his eyes were closed as he held his neck at the back. " my neck hurts."

Wish sighed standing up, " lay down on the couch then." but there was no response from him. She decided to lay him down so she moved his body, struggling with his weight. Finally, he laid down on the couch. " cold...."

" I will get you a blanket ." she turned but he pulled her to his side, hugging gently. " warm..." he mumbled with a smile. Meanwhile, Wish was shocked, unable to move. William was now sleeping peacefully, still hugging her.

Seeing his phone that she was holding, a thought popped on her mind. She opened the camera and held it upwards so that both her face and his face along with him holding her would come out. Satisfied with the picture, she kept it by his side. He started snoring so she became sure he was asleep now. Carefully she stood up and finally breathed in holding her chest which was about to explode. " goodness..."

Sunlight hit directly on his face as he struggled to open his eyes. From what he remembered yesterday, he had crashed in Wish's apartment. " What time is it?" he said in his groggy voice, sitting straight. Smell of bacon and eggs filled his nose.

" Oh...you're up?" he heard, seeing Wish peek from the kitchen counter with an apron.

---

" Its been so long since i had breakfast like this." William said chewing on his food.

" What do you eat in the morning then?"

" I just have it in my office."

Wish looked up at him but he was busy munching and checking his phone. she felt a little sympathy but decided to not say anything.

---

" I will meet you at the hospital later." he said opening the door.

" William...." she lightly tugged his coat, "....thankyou so much."

He only nodded and closed the door behind, smiling lightly. " I said i would do anything for you." after that his face changed to a serious one. " but before that, i need to be somewhere."

In another hour, he stood infront of the mansion while some security guards stopped him, " Sir, you should have made an appointment."

William only clicked his finger and his bodyguards pushed them away as they walked inside.

" Sir, Sirr..this is not allowed." some of the butlers shouted, terrified.

Once he was outside the big door, he pushed it open aggressively.

" Who dare open the door without my permission??!" Mr.lennon looked up from his desk and his whole face changed to shock as he quickly stood up from his chair. " M-mr. Brent??"

" Sorry for an unexpected visit, Mr.lennon." he smiled which was gone right after.
