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

Chapter 1045

"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."

At this, Wilfried's expression darkened even further. "That won't do. You've taken advantage of someone, so you need to take responsibility. I'll have someone look into that girl's background tomorrow, prepare the bride price, and we'll go make the proposal immediately." Gavin blinked, his typically composed expression faltering slightly. After a brief silence, he replied, "Dad, I'm willing to take responsibility, but what if she doesn't want to marry me?"

Wilfried paused, momentarily caught off guard by this possibility. His gaze swept over his son before he scoffed in frustration. "You always look so serious and brooding-no wonder girls don't fall for you easily."

Gavin remained silent, feeling the sting of his father's remark. "Nothing like some good old-fashioned fatherly critique to cut deep."

He composed himself and said, "I'll handle it. If she wants me to take responsibility, I'll marry her. If she doesn't, I'll find another way to make things right. Everything will be based on what she wants. How does that sound?" Wilfried's stern demeanor relaxed slightly. "That's more like it!"
