Chapter 242: Finally Home

After Lucas got a clear answer about the Taylors, he instructed Joe to drive back to the Ocean Bathhouse. At this moment, Joe’s subordinate had also bought the clothes and was waiting at the entrance.

Before Lucas got out of the car, he turned to Joe again and admonished, “You must keep in mind what I told you before. I don’t want to see any more entertainment joints and establishments that provide vice-related services. The same applies to the Ocean Bathhouse!

“Also, keep a close eye on the dirty business that the Taylors operate on the top floor of the bathhouse. Call me if something crops up.”

Then Lucas gave him his business card.

Joe was overjoyed. He hurriedly grabbed the business card and saved Lucas’s contact info.

“Okay, go and get busy with your matters. You don’t have to tag along with me.”

Lucas got out of the car, took the bag of clothes from the subordinate, and walked to the Ocean Bathhouse.

Soon, William, who had taken a bath and changed into a brand new Armani suit, walked out of the dressing room.

After washing off the dirt on his body, he looked a lot less disheveled. And due to his painstaking search for Cheyenne, he had lost a significant amount of weight, as well his beer belly.

But William’s hair had already grown to his shoulder. He also had a full beard that added a touch of haggardness to his middle-aged charm.

“Wow, Dad, you’re really handsome! I just realized that men have to take care of their appearance and dress up to look good! Let’s go get you a haircut. I promise you’ll become a great hunk with a new hairstyle. You’re going to be really charming!” Charlotte exclaimed in amazement after looking at him a few times.

William poked Charlotte’s forehead smilingly. “Silly girl! I’m already in my fifties. I’m not a hunk.”

“You’re only fifty. Age is just a number, and anyone can be a hunk at any age! Besides, Cheyenne and I must be so pretty because of your good genes! Right, Cheyenne?” Charlotte smiled at Cheyenne with her tongue out.

“Psht, self-praise is no praise. You’re so shameless.” Cheyenne pinched Charlotte’s face embarrassedly, and they were all smiling and chatting with each other harmoniously.

Seeing this, Lucas had a warm and fuzzy feeling in his heart.

This was the way a family should be getting along—chatting and laughing together merrily.

They brought William to a salon where they picked a fashionable haircut that made him look much younger.

Charlotte and Cheyenne were both pleased with it. They then asked the hairstylist to give Lucas a sleek and clean cut that made him look even more handsome than he was.

“Lucas, it’s time you dress up! You’re so handsome. You look even more handsome than the celebrities on TV!”

After Charlotte teased Lucas again, they finally packed up.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lucas drove to the kindergarten to pick Amelia up.

As soon as Amelia saw William, she immediately leaped for joy. “Grandpa! You’re finally back! I haven’t seen you for a long time! I missed you so much!”

Amelia even gave William a kiss on his face.

William was immediately moved to tears while being hugged by his chubby little granddaughter.

They were all his precious family members!

From now on, I won’t gamble again. I won’t lose my precious family again!

Feeling heartened and gratified, Cheyenne and Charlotte both teared up.

As long as William could kick his gambling addiction, they didn’t suffer in vain.

Soon, the family returned to the villa in the middle of Pearl Lake.

It was the first time William came here, and he was stunned by the luxurious and dreamy decor!

He had never dreamed that his son-in-law, whom they all called a good-for-nothing, would be able to afford such a large villa, as well as the lake island of Pearl Lake!

At this moment, William had completely changed his opinion of Lucas!

He managed to easily buy Ocean Bathhouse with eight million dollars and could afford a villa worth at least tens of millions. There’s really more to my son-in-law than what we see!

They entered the house merrily, and Amelia dashed in and exclaimed at Karen, who was watching television and eating some snacks. “Grandma, Grandpa’s home!”

But to everyone’s surprise, Karen responded very coldly. She merely glanced at William calmly before gibing, “Hah, you didn’t come home for such a long time. I thought you died somewhere!”

William’s joyous expression immediately froze on his face.

At the side, Cheyenne and Charlotte also felt extremely awkward.

All of a sudden, it fell quiet in the entire living room, but Karen pretended like nothing happened and continued watching TV while snacking.

After dinner, William had many things to say. But once he thought of Karen’s nonchalance toward him, he felt disappointed and thought that there was nothing much for him to say to her. If he said something, she might reply to him sarcastically and destroy his confidence again.

A moment later, William decided to go and talk to Lucas.

There were many rooms in the villa, but Lucas had already gotten used to staying in the same room as Cheyenne, even though they slept on separate beds.

When he heard a knock on the room door, he walked over in puzzlement and opened it. He saw William standing outside while rubbing his hands.

“I’m not disturbing your rest at such a late hour, am I?” William asked formally.

“It’s fine. It’s still early. Dad, come in,” Cheyenne said as she walked over after hearing the noise.

William walked into the spacious master bedroom and saw Amelia sitting in a corner of the room and playing with some toys. Looking at the calmness on Cheyenne’s face, he felt emotional.

Two months ago, Lucas had promised him that he would let Cheyenne and Amelia live a happy life in the future. But back then, he was full of disdain and didn’t believe Lucas at all. However, Lucas had proven it with his actions.

William hesitated for a while before finally saying, “Actually, I came here today to ask you for a favor. Lucas, can you help me find a job?”
