William Hale only smoked half a cigarette before forcibly suppressing the urge, then took a bath and went to the study to look through some documents.
In the group chat, a few friends were discussing whether a certain country's economic policy would impact foreign trade, and he opened a video call to join the conversation for a while.
Everyone saw the damage at the corner of his mouth, but in tacit understanding, no one mentioned it.
"Hale, when exactly are you planning to introduce us to your sister-in-law?"
Everyone knew about Zoe Bell's existence, having seen photos and videos, but they had not met her in person.
William's tone was indifferent, "There will be a chance."
"You have to bring her back to Capital City for the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? We can meet up then if you're free."
"Busy."
"Busy during the holidays? If you dare not go back for Mid-Autumn Festival, Grandpa Hale will come and hunt you down himself."
"I didn't say I wouldn't go home for the holiday."
