They arrived at the restaurant and Ansel was greeted warmly.The workers at the Castillo's had recognized Ansel because their boss had instructed them to always treat Ansel with respect.They immediately led the way and took them to a VVIP room.Different meals were brought to the table and Ansel took his seat alongside Samantha.Everyone except Samantha was shocked, George's family were mostly shocked.Indeed Ansel had been telling the truth and he wasn't lying.Could it be that he also owned the limited edition car that was outside?Those questions were on their mind.Mr George smiled in his heart, Samantha had indeed seen a good boyfriend.He was starting to like Ansel already.While Ana, who was Madam Kiara's daughter, took pictures of the food, Samantha couldn't help but chuckle.Fred, who was also recovering, began eating as if he had been starved for days.Ansel was the only one who hadn't touched his meal.He watched as everyone ate quietly.Suddenly, the room was filled with
"George is owing us some cash, he needs to pay or I won't leave." Snake Li tightened his fist and struggled to get back on his feet.He tried to hide his nervousness from Ansel even though he was clearly shaking.George cleared his throat, it was all his fault.He should have paid when he had the chance.Right now, he was going bankrupt and he didn't have any money with him.Mr George could only bow his head in shame, he didn't like the look of disbelief that Samantha gave him."How about I pay you some other time. Please, Snake Li, I don't have the money currently." George said in a pleading tone.When Snake Li heard his words, his eyes twitched involuntarily."You think I'm some kind of charity, George?" Snake Li snapped, his voice dripping with disdain. "You've had plenty of time to pay, but you've been dragging your feet. And now, all of a sudden, you don't have the money? Give me a break!"George's face turned a sickly shade of pale as he hung his head in shame. Samantha's gaze b
Ansel sighed as he stared at the two pitiful men.Justin even went ahead to clean off the dirt from Ansel's shoe with his shirt."George doesn't have to pay the money anymore, Master Ansel, the loan whales will not bother him again." Justin looked up to meet Ansel's gaze.He was more than willing to let George off the hook.If George knew a man like Ansel then it meant that he would be getting on Ansel's bad side if he bothered George.Though the money George owned the loan whales was much, he decided not to bother about it any more.Justin Li stood up from his squatting position, he wanted to say something but he didn't know if Ansel would get angry with him."Master Ansel, can I get your contact details? I want to pay back this huge favor. "Ansel listened to Justin Li's request for his contact information. He pondered for a moment, a subtle smirk playing on his lips. Finally, he spoke. "Very well, Mr. Li. You may have my contact details," he said, reaching into his pocket and retri
"Thank you dad" Samantha said in a whisper.She almost felt like throwing a cover cloth over her face due to embarrassment.Seeing the serious expression on Ansel's face, Samantha couldn't figure out what he was thinking.'Young master Ansel probably thinks I have a weird family' Samantha thought to herself and sighed deeply.They soon stopped talking and the lunch was over.Madam Kiara didn't fail to take pictures and post them on her social media handles.It would be a shame to not capture the good moment.On their way out of the restaurant, Ana ran to Samantha's side."What if Mr Ansel foots the bills. That would also count as you doing me a favor. Please Samantha"Ana winked at her mother, Kiara, and then the middle-aged woman also joined and began speaking."Oh no Ana, Samantha should be the one to pay for it and not Mr Ansel. We don't want to bother him too much or do we?"Samantha's face became red and she met Ansel's gaze, time seemed to stop for a moment.In the presence of h
The next day, Ansel left the suite early in order to visit grandfather Kian.Their engagement ceremony was about to take place and so he didn't want to miss any important information.Grandfather Kian invited him over for breakfast and so he couldn't miss it.Samantha was now the only one in the suite.She hid the dark circles under her eyes with the make-up brush and then went out to the parking lot.Standing beside the car was her cousin, Ana and Ana's fiance, Daniel.Samantha wasn't in the mood to talk to any of them, so she hopped into her car and waited for them to do the same.Ansel should be the one to choose the apartment but since he was not around, he instructed Samantha to get them the apartment.It was the last thing Samantha wanted to do but she didn't have a choice.The ride was quiet and soon they arrived at Crowley's Estate.Currently, the cheapest amount to rent a home in Crowley's estate was above one hundred million.Samantha still didn't know why Ansel had instruct
It was a normal day in the Castillo family.With grandfather Kian making jokes and the family getting entertained.Coincidentally, it was also grandfather Kian's birthday.Ansel was able to know this information because grandfather Kian's birthdate was written on the business card which he had given him.And so Ansel decided to get him a red wine as a gift.He couldn't think of anything other than that.Ansel got into the living room, he saw Thora presenting her gift to grandfather Kian in a very beautiful dress.A half smile appeared on his face, she was going to be his wife after all.Ansel walked confidently towards the dining table.They were all sitting around the dining table and Ansel thought to join them also."Happy birthday grandfather" Ansel said with a huge grin and grandfather Kian spread his arms wide open and invited Ansel for a hug.Grandfather Kian was so happy to see Ansel and even more happy when Ansel wished him a happy birthday.He hadn't expected Ansel to know ab
Ansel was a bit stunned by Thora's support. He hadn't expected it, especially because they never get along well.In response to Thora's support, Ansel cleared his throat to regain his composure. With a playful glint in his eye, he turned to Chris, offering a quick wink that showed a slight hint of mockery.Chris abruptly left the room, his frustration showing on his facial expression. The others exchanged glances, their postures tensing for a moment before the atmosphere returned back into its previous state and everyone started to discuss amongst themselves.After a while, Chris returned, still simmering with annoyance but maintaining enough control not to cause a scene."Fine," Chris uttered, his tone sharp as he took his seat. "If everyone else wants to accept Ansel, that's their business. But I won't stand for it. Ansel will never be my brother-in-law, and that's that." He punctuated his words with a series of irritated taps on the table, his fingers drumming out an angry rhythm.
Ansel decided that he was going back to his suite to practice his breathing technique and prepare more herbs.To him, their marriage wasn't really a real one.Thora herself had said that she wasn't going to stay with him.He had thought about renting an apartment for them to stay but it just seemed like Thora wouldn't accept it either.But now that he was married, Ansel knew it wouldn't be right to keep staying with Samantha.And so, he made up his mind to prepare his herbs and then move into a new apartment."Where are you going, Ansel?"Just as Ansel was about to hail a cab, he heard grandfather Kian's voice. Ansel turned back to see grandfather and Thora looking at him with an expectant look."I'm going home, grandfather." Ansel said casually and grandfather clicked his tongue.Grandfather Kian stepped forward, his expression softening slightly. "Ansel, now that you and my granddaughter are married, you are a part of our family. It would be our honor to have you stay with us."Ans
