Chapter 1020 Won't Lose
William asked, "What's up? Are you pregnant or something? Hooking up with some guy?"
Vicky shot back, "William, what are you talking about? That's not what I meant. I'm asking you something."
"Asking me?" William replied, "About what?"
Vicky paused for a moment, then asked, "Did you and Ava get close in that way?"
William's brow furrowed, "What are you talking about?"
Vicky pressed on, "William, you two are married now, and Sunny's here. Have you two, you know, slept together?"
William slapped Vicky on the head.
Vicky rubbed her head, "Ow, William! That hurt! Why'd you hit me?"
William said, "Drop it. Don't talk about this anymore."
Seeing William's dark expression, Vicky seemed to realize something. 'Could it be that William and Ava haven't slept together yet? If that's the case, that's great.'
William said, "Vicky, hold Sunny for a bit."
He handed Sunny to Vicky.
Vicky took Sunny and held her in her arms.
The little baby in her arms was soft and cuddly, like a little toy, especially adorable. Vicky instantly liked her.
William stood up and said, "Vicky, help me look after Sunny for a bit. I need to go see Dad."
Vicky asked, "William, why are you going to see Dad? Is something wrong?"
William answered, "Company stuff. I need to ask him something. Just help me look after Sunny for a bit. I'll be back later."
Vicky said, "Okay, go ahead. I'll take care of Sunny."
Vicky had never taken care of Sunny before, so it felt new to her. And Sunny was so cute, she really liked her.
Dalton personally made some tea. He didn't drink tea often, but he liked making it for others.
He poured a cup of the tea he made for William.
He already understood the situation.
He pushed the teacup in front of William, "Have some tea."
William said, "Dad, I can't go to Stellaria now. They'll definitely arrest me. They might even contact the Berlyn authorities."
Dalton said, "So what if they do? You're my son. How could I just watch you get arrested?"
William breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Thanks, Dad."
Dalton continued, "But you were quite impulsive. You almost got caught. They don't care who you are; your background won't help you there."
William said, "I was really angry at the time. I thought Alexander had control over Ava. I was afraid the two of them would get back together. You know, I worked so hard to get Ava. It was your plan that got her to marry me in the first place."
Dalton leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed, lazily saying, "William, you're very smart, you have everything, but you're too emotional. If one day you have to give up Ava for some purpose, what will you do?"
"I won't give her up," William's voice rose, "No matter what happens, even if I die, I won't let go. She's my wife."
Dalton asked, "What if you have to choose between all your fortune and Ava?"
"I won't make that choice," William said, "No matter what, Ava is my wife, and I won't lose what I have now."
William's eyes shone with unparalleled determination and a hint of ruthlessness.
Dalton smiled faintly, "You truly are my son. You need to have both love and wealth."
