Chapter 1807 Approaching Happiness
Bertie composed himself and stepped inside with a smile on his face. In the courtyard, he encountered a servant who approached him and asked in a gentle tone, "Sir, may I ask whom you are looking for?" halting his steps.
In the living room, Violet and Albert were descending the stairs and inadvertently caught sight of the scene in the courtyard through the French windows.
"Who is it? Your friend?" Violet asked, noticing that the person was carrying something.
"I don't know him," Albert said, looking at Bertie, "I have never seen this person before."
Shortly after, the servant led him towards the living room.
After the Russell family couple came downstairs and arrived at the living room door, Bertie, wearing a kindly smile and carrying something, asked, "Are you Claire's uncle and aunt?"
The couple glanced at each other, and Albert softly replied, "Yes." Both of them were puzzled, who was he?
"I am Louis... Oh no, I am Rowan's father," Bertie said with a beaming smile, "It seems I have come to the right place." He didn't carry himself like an old king; at that moment, he was simply a regular father. Albert and Violet were taken aback. Could he be the former king, Lu Layeka?
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Bertie quickly smiled and explained, "Today, I am just Rowan's father. I know about his relationship with Claire and their plans to get married. This is my first visit, and I would like to discuss the matter with you both to express our sincerity from our side."
Violet regained her composure; this was something she had never anticipated.
She smiled, "Please, come in." She seemed somewhat uneasy for some reason.
"These are two boxes of tea, a small gift for our first meeting, please accept it," the former king had wandered through the market but hadn't found a more suitable gift.
He wanted to meet them today; the sooner, the more sincere it would appear.
"Thank you," Violet said as she accepted the gift, "You really didn't need to bring a gift; we are already surprised that you came."
"They have been together for so long, and I am contacting you for the first time; I am truly sorry," Bertie said as he sat down on the sofa, "I only recently found out. Please don't take it to heart."
"No, no," Violet felt a bit embarrassed and quickly had the servant serve him tea, after all, they had already agreed to the relationship between the two.
Then she sat down beside Albert, and the elders from both sides began discussing the children's marriage.
Bertie was very sincere today, showing strong support for the two children to be together with the demeanor of a kind father. He expressed his approval and affection for Claire, as well as his respect for their decision to settle in Arkpool City.
The father and son had not discussed beforehand, yet their attitudes in front of the Russell family elders were surprisingly consistent.
At that moment, Rowan was driving with one hand on the wheel and the other holding Claire's hand, their fingers interlocked, with the beautiful sunset streaming through the window, casting a warm glow on both of them.
"What would you like to eat?" Claire looked at him, her voice soft, "Should we go exploring? Maybe visit a less mainstream spot?"
Rowan turned to her, his face displaying a smile, his features so handsome and clear, he said, "In your world, my world is yours to command."
The car moved slowly, he held her hand tightly, and Claire gazed happily into his eyes, her elegant features reminiscent of Dr. Watson, with her picturesque countenance, under the setting sun, exuding a captivating charm.
