Hayden's attitude toward Valeria had ruined William's good mood, and he could only release some steam by speeding.

After speeding on for miles, William finally managed to suppress his anger.

The first thing he did was apologize to Valeria, "Valeria, I'm so sorry that I couldn't do anything about my father's attitude! You must have felt terrible after being dismissed by him like that!"

Valeria could tell that William was really upset on her behalf, and she turned to console him, "Don't worry, I'm alright, don't let him ruin our time together!"

"How could you be fine? My father has really crossed the line this time!"

William answered with a bitter smile.He really did not expect Hayden to show his displeasure towards Valeria in front of others, but the incident today proved him otherwise.

William was willing to take the brute force of Hayden's anger if it meant that Hayden would accept Valeria as the family's daughter-in- law.He could never bear to see Valeria upset.

"Don't worry, I'm fine.I'm not mad at your father for ignoring me, I mean it could have been worse right?" Valeria meant what she said.

She had already expected this outcome, so she wasn't mad at all.

Hayden's strict demeanor was the same as when they first met, and she could still bear with it even though it was a little upsetting to be ignored.

More importantly, she could get through this because she knew that William would always be by her side no matter what.

William was even more troubled after hearing her forgiving words, "Valeria, you're precious to me and I don't want anyone to upset you.In fact, everyone should be treating you like a princess, just like I do! "Who cares about everyone else? I'm fine being your one and only princess"

Valeria smiled before reaching out to clasp William's hand in her own, "Look, let's ignore what everyone else thinks and take care of each other alright?"

"Valeria, no children can choose their parents.Hayden is my birth father, so how can I just ignore his actions? You must have been disappointed seeing how powerless I was against him, right?"
