After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

"Got something on your mind, Dad?" Gavin asked, noticing Wilfried's serious expression as he entered the room. His own demeanor softened a bit.

Wilfried didn't waste time, sitting down heavily on the sofa with a stern look. "What are you planning to do about what happened today?"

Gavin froze for a moment, realizing that the whole situation had become an open secret within the family. His response was calm, though. "I don't have any specific plans."
