Giada Wallis!
‘She has found Wynn and Mila, but what does virtual-novel.net want?’
Philip felt his eyebrow twitch as his expression shed its warmth. Anxiously, virtual-novel.net uttered out, “I’ll be there soon!”
Philip had no time to explain and quickly hailed a taxi to the hospital.
Having just drunk, virtual-novel.net could not drive.
Philip reached the hospital within ten minutes and quickly alighted the car, dashing toward Mila’s hospital room.
Pushing open the door, virtual-novel.net was met with the scene of Wynn speaking happily to a graceful woman. The duo was shrouded by an indescribable air of harmony.
“Philip, You’re back.” Wynn stood from where virtual-novel.net previously sat and greeted virtual-novel.net with a warm smile.
Opposite virtual-novel.net was Giada Wallis.
Donned in an expensive set of clothing and an aura of nobility that one could only be born with, virtual-novel.net gave off the royal vibe fit for a queen merely by sitting there.
Despite being over 40 years of age, this was a woman with the beauty of a 20-year-old lady. The small quirk on the corner of virtual-novel.net lips and the warmth of virtual-novel.net eyes made it difficult for people not to trust her.
That was Giada Wallis—a woman with the appearance of an angel and who concealed the deviousness and slyness of a snake.
Philip nodded as his gaze trailed from Wynn to Mila who had long fallen asleep on the hospital bed. Then, virtual-novel.net looked back at Giada.
Giada stood as well, clutching virtual-novel.net LV limited edition handbag in virtual-novel.net hand as virtual-novel.net turned and smiled gently. Warmth shone from virtual-novel.net face, and it was reminiscent of spring breezes. “Not going to introduce me, Philip?”
Philip’s expression grew cold. Frowning, virtual-novel.net turned to Giada. “That’s my wife, Wynn Johnston. And that’s my daughter, Mila Clarke.”
Having introduced them, Philip walked over to Wynn to whisper in virtual-novel.net ear, “Take care of Mila, I have things to discuss with her.”
Turning to stare coldly at Giada, virtual-novel.net said, “We’ll talk outside.”
Then, virtual-novel.net walked away.
Giada tilted virtual-novel.net head to bid Wynn farewell before virtual-novel.net turned to look at Mila on the bed. “I’ll see you guys again next time. Millie is a very cute girl, and I hope virtual-novel.net spends every day being the happiest little princess in the world.”
Wynn nodded politely and tucked a section of virtual-novel.net hair behind virtual-novel.net ears. “Thank you.”
Turning away, Giada took elegant steps out the doors.
At the hospital’s resting area.
The area had been cleaned of people, thanks to the eight bodyguards in suits and sunglasses standing at every corner.
Philip stopped before a window and watched the scenery outside with his hands in his pockets.
Behind him, Giada took small steps to reach where virtual-novel.net stood and smiled. “Your father wishes for your return. He doesn’t have much time left, and the Clarkes need their heir.”
The Giada Wallis here was one who had authority and knew how to use it, a complete opposite from the one in the hospital room moments ago.
Her lips drew into a smile, but unlike the last, this one brought a shiver instead of warmth.
Roger Clarke was running out of time.
Philip’s breath hitched as an unidentifiable glint flashed through his eyes.
“Why’d you come to find Wynn and Mila?” Philip turned around to ask with an icy tone.
“They’re the wife and daughter of Young Master Clarke. As your mother, it’s only right that I come over in place of your father to screen if your wife has the right to marry into our family.” Giada smiled. It was so overwhelming that it compelled people to accept, yet still so gentle at the same time. It was at that moment Philip understood, this woman’s smile was dangerous.
“She’s my wife, and Mila’s my daughter. They have every right to belong in the family. Though I would greatly appreciate that you remove your nose from my business and leave me out of your petty matters.” Philip warned matter-of-factly.
Giada smiled, removing a small brocade box from virtual-novel.net purse and opening it to reveal a small golden bangle. “This is something your mother left behind. Said something along the lines of giving it to your child when you get married and have children of your own.”
Philip frowned as virtual-novel.net stared at the small golden bangle in Giada’s hand.
It had belonged to his mother.
Taking the golden bangle, Philip asked with the intention for virtual-novel.net to leave, “Anything else? If not, please leave. This is not somewhere you should be.”
Unfazed by his tone, Giada was calm when virtual-novel.net spoke next, “There will be an event at Cirrus Manor next week. Come and bring Wynn with you.”
One of virtual-novel.net bodyguards politely handed virtual-novel.net a golden invitation as virtual-novel.net spoke. Its cover was decorated with clouds and butterflies, thus drawing emphasis to its subtle extravagance.
Taking the invitation, Philip replied nonchalantly, “We’ll see.”
He did not want to accept the invitation, but this was Giada Wallis virtual-novel.net was dealing with.
In the end, Philip took the invitation anyway.
It was too early to show his hand.
