Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 120

  Arriving at the castle, Veronica's parents were already waiting at the driveway.

  While her mother Celerina held an accommodating expression, on the other hand, her father Eddie Wang, was looking very serious. However, seeing him standing with a cane, Veronica appreciates this.

  Her father recovered from the heart attack but that illness really did bad in his physique. It took him years to finally recover and his physician advises that he shouldn't strain his body from strenuous works or subject himself under a depressing mood.

  Veronica stepped out and greet both parents by a hug and kiss in each cheek. "Vivi. It's good you arrived safely." Celerina softly says.

  "Gramma! Grampa!" Baelfair suddenly ran straight to her Grandma and the latter had to kneel and carry the little girl to kiss her.

  "Oh dear Fair. How are you?! Gramma and Grampa misses you and your brother Fire so much!"

  Baelfair giggled and kissed her grandma on both cheeks. After doing so, she wiggled her body to be put down and when she's finally on the ground, ran to her grandfather carefully.

  "How ah (are) you feewing (feeling) grammpa?"

  Eddie Wang's strict face softened and touched the top of his granddaughter's head. "Good girl Fair. Grandpa is feeling great now that both you and your brother are back!"

  Baelfire who was still inside the car finally went out and compared to his twin, approached both elders to kiss them and murmur a short but loving words,

  "Baelfire miss you, grandma/ grandpa."

  Veronica, seeing the twins were tired, called for the twin's nannies, who were left in Country R, and asked them to wash the twins and let them rest first.

  The nannies after being separated from the twins for long had to hide their excitement. After all, those adorable buns grew on them both. But it couldn't be avoided that they had to take a quick glance at the man with their young lady Veronica.

  After hearing it from other workers, this handsome man should be their lady's fiancé and the twin's father.

  'Definitely a very handsome man!' They snickered inside.

  When Veronica turned around, the older women, Celerina and Vanessa, hit it off. On the other hand, thanks to Edward's chattering, the men's side is less awkward. Afterwards, she walked beside Rawlf.

  "Pa, Ma, this is Rawlf. My fiancé. And his parents, Robert Sy, his dad and Vanessa, his mom, went with us."

  The elders exchanged smiles and "How are you?"

  Veronica also never forgot to introduce each family's butlers as they had become a family to each.

  However, Veronica could notice her father intentionally alienating Rawlf. Interestingly enough, he was even already talking to Rawlf's father and yet, he's not being nice to Rawlf.

  Rawlf, seeing her looked so sorry, gently pinched her hands, assuring her.

  "Alright, it's time that we go inside." Celerina led the way for their visitors while pulling Madam Vanessa along with her.

  Surprisingly enough, the Sy Madam was smiling like she just found her life's long lost sister!

  On the other hand, the two older men rather walked slowly with each butler behind, watching over each's masters. A little while later, the Sy Master said something to Eddie Wang. His voice was a bit low but everyone around could hear it.

  "I saw what you did there kumpare and I like it! Hahaha!"

  Eddie Wang, as if proud of what he did, replied in a rather regretful voice, "It's a shame it ended before it even started."

  "Same thoughts!" The old master Sy agreed with regret in his voice as well. Everyone: " "

  Entering the castle, Celerina served as a tour guide and started to explain to them some history of the castle.

  "This castle had been owned by my family since the 19th century. Me and my brother's

  great-grandfather were descendants of a czar. They had this castle built especially for him. Our great-grandfather is not really that great but his peace loving attitude and contentment allowed

  him to live a peaceful life here in this part of the Country while his brothers vie for the seat in the capital."

  "This castle is well-preserved! Amazing!" Madam Vanessa said in admiration.

  "When I left for Country P to visit our mother's home country, my brother was left here alone and had this place fixed up. The old style was followed and no changes were made, so how this castle look the same as how it originally look since its creation"

  The old master Sy who was an antique enthusiast was awed by this and couldn't wait to discover and visit every corner of this castle.

  Indeed, the Sy is considered a powerful and wealthy family in Country P and only this castle that stood the test of time and nature is one of the few things that could make him amazed like a little boy.

  "I haven't had a proper talk with Veronica yet so it turns out that you are half from Country R and half from Country P?" The old master Sy finally asked directly.

  "Yes. My father is actually a pure Country R. It's my mother who came from Country P. My father met my mother during her travels here. And the two old people hit off and well the rest is history."

  "Oh that's a good story." Celerina Wang beamed. "It is."

  The family talked more about the history of the castle until the elders reached the point of exchanging stories about their grandchildren's antics.

  The castle's receiving area was filled with booming laughter. This goes on until one of the maids calls out that their meal is ready.

  The meal was a feast accompanied by good conversation, it turned out to be a warm and typical meal between families. However, Veronica could still notice that her father never for once, had tried to talk to Rawlf.

  She frowned, sorry for the man.

  The feisty, powerful Rawlf Sy is currently receiving cold-shoulders from his future father in law!

  No one in Country P would believe that someone like Rawlf Sy would tolerate it if they ever hear this piece of news. And surely, he won't.

  He already planned to talk to his future father in law sooner or later.
