Chapter 12
“Is everything okay? We’ve offended him. I wonder how he’ll get back at us in the future.”
Vicky Norton watched Walter William walk out of the bathroom with great concern, though he seemed completely unharmed.
“Don’t worry so much, little fool. I promise he won’t ever dare to bother you again, nor will he take revenge on us. Stop thinking about it. Let me take you out for a big meal.”
Vicky Norton was skeptical. After all, offending a wealthy second-generation heir wasn’t something to be taken lightly.
“Alright, stop thinking about it so much.”
Vicky Norton followed Walter William downstairs.
“Did you buy this car?”
Vicky Norton stared at Walter William in disbelief. She knew exactly what kind of life he had led over the years. When she saw that car, Vicky Norton was completely stunned.
“Get in the car.”
Vicky Norton was completely confused when Walter William took her to a very fancy restaurant.
After all, he saved those 60,000 yuan to make Vicky Norton happy and give her a little surprise.
“It’s way too expensive. How about we find another place?”
Vicky Norton glanced at the restaurant and immediately realized that most people couldn’t afford to eat there. A single meal could cost tens of thousands of dollars. What kind of family would be able to afford that?
“But we’re both dressed like this…”
Vicky Norton glanced at Walter William, then at herself, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
“You don’t need to worry about that. After all, it’s a high-end restaurant, so everything will be fine.”
“But…”
“Stop saying ‘but’. I just want to cherish you properly once. Is that really that hard?”
But in the end, Vicky Norton still couldn’t outwit Walter William, and she entered that extremely fancy restaurant.
“Welcome.”
Under the waiter’s guidance, the two of them were seated at a table by the window. It was indeed a perfect setting for a date.
“Let’s order less. It’s too expensive.”
Vicky Norton flipped through the menu, then carefully reminded Walter William.
Although, considering Vicki Norton’s family background, visiting a restaurant like this wouldn’t really be considered extravagant, Walter William knew very well the financial situation of the Norton family. That’s why Vicki Norton didn’t want to go to such a costly restaurant.
Walter William smiled knowingly. Since he had chosen to come here, he hadn’t intended to save any money at all.
“Bring me a portion of each of your restaurant’s signature dishes, and a bottle of red wine.”
“You’re crazy.”
Vicky Norton warned him in a hushed voice, but Walter William acted as if he hadn’t heard anything. He continued to order, choosing the most expensive items possible. Vicky Norton was shocked and silently checked the balance on her bank card.
“Okay, please wait a moment, both of you.”
Until the waiter left, Vicky Norton, who was usually very gentle, kicked Walter William quite seriously.
“Are you crazy? How can we just keep eating like this? There’s so much food here that we won’t be able to finish it all. And we still need to drive after drinking alcohol.”
“Alright, stop thinking about it. Today, I just wanted to surprise you and take you on a romantic candlelit dinner. You’ve taken such good care of me all these months since I fell unconscious. You’ve worked so hard, so of course I want to reward you properly.”
Walter William said this with great indulgence.
“There’s no need to go to such extreme lengths for that.”
“I promised to reward you without spending too much. How else can I show my sincerity?”
Vicky Norton ultimately chose to remain silent and compromise. After all, there was no point in saying anything more at this point.
“Waiter.”
At this moment, the waiter brought over a bouquet of roses.
When Vicky Norton saw the bouquet of roses, she covered her mouth with both hands, too moved to speak. Walter William had never been this romantic before.
Vicky Norton looked at Walter William with deep emotion. All the hard work and sacrifices were worth it.
In the end, the two of them enjoyed a romantic candlelit dinner, making up for all the regrets they had.
“Sir, the total amount is 24,000 yuan. Would you like to pay by card or in cash?”
Walter William took out the purple card. The cashier was momentarily stunned, then swiped the purple card as usual.
“I’m sorry, sir. I wasn’t aware that you had the right to use the Purple Card. Your total expenditure amounts to 9999 yuan.”
Walter William paid the bill, and left with the surprised Vicky Norton.
“This…”
“I didn’t expect that this purple card would be so useful.”
Today, Vicky Norton was in a state of constant surprise throughout the day. Everything from the new car, to the candlelit dinner, to the purple card was completely beyond her expectations.
But since he was able to take over such a famous hotel as the Marne Hotel, this task shouldn’t be too difficult for him either.
Walter William and Vicky Norton returned home. Mrs. Norton immediately noticed Walter William’s car.
“Oh, William, where did you rent this car? It looks pretty nice.”
Mrs. Norton kept staring at this car non-stop. Although she didn’t hurl insults at it like before, she still had a way of being sarcastic in a subtle way.
Mango said nothing. She really didn’t want to get into a conflict with Mrs. Norton.
“Mom, this is a new one,” added Vicky Norton quickly.
“Is this the new car you bought? Okay, you don’t need to try to please me. Although I don’t know much about cars, it’s obvious that this isn’t a cheap car.”
When Mrs. Norton heard that the car was newly purchased, she couldn’t believe it.
“Really.”
“Oh, really? I told you my daughter would be very fortunate to be with you. I knew I had good judgment.”
Mrs. Norton walked around the car once and sighed in admiration.
Between the lines, in those subtle expressions, it was clear that Walter William, as a son-in-law, was extremely satisfied at that time. There wasn’t any trace of his previous behavior at all.
“Someday, if you have the chance, take our whole family for a drive. Driving such a great car would be really impressive.”
“My car isn’t as good as Beck Kamen’s, I’m afraid.”
Although Walter William did it on purpose, the change in his attitude was too drastic. It’s probably difficult for him to forget those things from before so quickly.
“Oh, his car is so old. It’s nowhere near as good as yours. Besides, you’re now the chairman of the Mayne Hotel. Don’t pay any attention to him at all.”
Mrs. Norton dropped the basket in her hands aside, not even giving it a glance. All of her attention was focused on this car.
“Mom, let’s go home.”
Vicky Norton gently reminded them from the side.
“Oh, this child… Going home? What’s there to go home to? The family just bought a new car. It’s such a great occasion to go out and have a nice meal. Besides, William has such a great job and has also bought a nice car. It’s truly a double celebration.”
“Oh, I heard about a new five-star restaurant that just opened. The food there is absolutely delicious.”
Although Mrs. Norton’s attitude toward Walter William has changed significantly now, the underlying tone of her words still makes Walter William feel uncomfortable.
But for the sake of Vicky Norton, he endured it all.
“Mom, let’s go home.”
Vicky Norton said angrily, then turned and walked upstairs, with Walter William following closely behind.
Mrs. Norton cursed loudly as she chased after him. She lost her temper in just one second. But to Mango, this was completely normal, as he was already used to it.
