Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 105

"Daddy!"

Dayton felt aggrieved. He didn't understand why William spanked him. He looked at Jane with tears in his eyes, hoping to get an answer.

William didn't spank Dayton hard, but Jane was still mad with him. She glared at him fiercely.

The Duncans were too strict with their children and didn't know how to teach them.

No one was born to be sensible. Children should be treated with patience till they grew up.

"Dayton, you will not only have Mommy. In the future, you will have a wife and have children. You will be a daddy yourself."

Jane held Dayton and said gently.

Dayton was smart and learned fast. Jane didn't spend much time and energy teaching him. Being his mother wasn't difficult at all. Jane even enjoyed it.

"If I were a daddy, I would not spank my son."

Dayton was in Jane's arms. He was talking about William.

Daddy was so bad that spanked Dayton when he disagreed. Daddy had a bad temper. How did he get a good wife?

William was speechless.

He only wanted some quiet time. Neither did Jane nor Dayton talk to him. He was the president of the Duncan Group. Was he excluded?

William was upset.

Time flew. The day of Daisy and Andrew's engagement came soon.

Todd drove William and Jane to the dock in the afternoon. They were going to board a cruise in the afternoon.

The dock was far from City J. It would take about two hours to be there.

William and Jane sat in the back. Jane peeked at him. Although William looked cold and unapproachable, he was the man who kept his promises.

He dressed in an old-fashioned style suit as promised.

"Why isn't Frederic here?"

Jane looked out of the car window. It was a cloudy day and snowflakes were falling. People on the streets walked hurriedly.

Everything looked gloomy in winter.

The Floyds sent them invitations. Since Colin couldn't attend, they had two more invitations.

Jane thought that William would take Frederic with him. She was wrong.

"He's not coming."

William smiled slightly and said, "He has no date."

As a single man, Frederic couldn't find himself a date. He must be frustrated.

Frederic worked overtime in the Duncan Group year around. Sometimes, he was unreachable. Girls who dated with him could not be with him long. Some of them took initiative to break up with him, while some cheated on him.

Jane laughed.

How pathetic Frederic was. It could tell from William's tone of voice that he was gloating. Jane couldn't help but laugh.

Working in the Duncan Group and had a tough boss, Frederic must be something as he had not resigned yet.

When talking about Frederic, the atmosphere in the car was relaxing.

Todd told them that Frederic's parents had come from his hometown and brought a girl with them. They forced Frederic to date her.

"It is not a blind date. They force him to get married. I heard his father calling his nickname."

The girl that came with Frederic's parents was from the same village. She was a pretty girl.

Frederic had been doing well and bought an apartment in City J. After hearing that Frederic was single, villagers encouraged his parents to find a girl for him.

"Frederic often dresses up and looks like an elite. But he still is a young man coming from a village."

Jane covered her mouth. It didn't matter who Frederic was but his upbringing background. Frederic was an elite and graduated from a prestigious university. The woman he loved should understand him and his job well.

According to Todd, this girl was not well educated. She used to work as a foot massager.

Jane didn't look down on what she did for a living. The point was that they had nothing in common and could never get along.

William was quiet. He closed his eyes taking a nap. Jane chatted with Todd till they arrived at the dock.

All celebrities in City J heard the news of marriage between the Floyds and the Carts. More than a thousand people arrived half an hour before boarding.

"Mr. William and Mrs. Duncan, Master Floyd has invited many stars entertaining guests."

Harrison's assistant attended to guests. Jane was ushered into the VIP room to wait for boarding.

As soon as William got off the car, he headed for the smoking room.

"I know you are here."

It had been a while since William saw Andrew last time. Andrew changed. He was no longer cynical and became serious. Andrew smiled. But his smiles were not from the bottom of his heart.

"You can talk to me."

William lit a cigar and took a hard draw.

Jane hated cigarettes, so he didn't smoke on the way came to the dock.

William shook his head. Both William and Jane had changed imperceptibly.

"William."

Seeing his buddy, Andrew stripped of his disguise. He had been struggling these days and finally chooses the same way as William took before.

"Do you want to marry Daisy? Think it over."

William blew out smoke and looked indifferent.

Six years ago, he married Jane. On the night before the wedding, Andrew advised him to cancel the wedding.

Andrew said that he would live like a puppet without love. It was not fun at all.

After getting married, they maintained their relationship based on interests and agreed to mind their own business.

Andrew admired William's father's lifestyle which was a free and easy vagrant painter.

William gave Andrew the same advice.

In Andrew's opinion, love was above everything. William did not think that Andrew would fall in love with Daisy in a short time.

Besides, that woman...

"It is said that you'll regret it anyway, no matter who you marry."

Andrew smiled bitterly. He could open his heart to William.

It didn't matter whether he was unwilling or regretful. He was not only the successor of the Floyds but also Harrison's grandson.

"My grandpa has advanced cancer. The doctor told me that he only has two years left at most."

Andrew took a deep breath. He was brought up by his grandfather and had no affection for his parents. Although Harrison was strict and had a bad temper, he had been teaching Andrew.

Andrew had to get married and have children in two years. He didn't have much time.

"My grandfather wishes me to get married and have children."

Andrew did not mention how shock he was when seeing the diagnosis. He couldn't think. It was painful when he heard the doctor's words.

He enjoyed his life for a few years, and his grandfather was in charge. His grandfather could not have regular treatment after having cancer.

No matter how wealthy the Floyds were, Harrison was just an old man when facing diseases.

"I’m going to get married and Daisy looks good."

Andrew put on a playful smile. It was hard to grasp the present moment. No one knew what would happen in the future.

"I'm engaged and girls in City J are heartbroken. They have lost their chance."

Andrew touches his face and takes out a small mirror from his pocket to check his look.

More than six years ago, Kierra left him. Andrew heard that she would come today. He started dressing up early in the morning and spent a large sum of money on hiring a stylist.

"She eloped with another man years ago and dumped a handsome guy, like me. She will regret when she sees me."

Andrew adjusted his tie and strode out.

When he walked, William heard a sigh.
