When Sherry and Daniel arrived at the restaurant, Mrs. Perry had already talked to William. As the same as the first
time when she saw Daniel, she was a little restrained and shy, and even lower down her laughter.
Mr. Perry had long gotten used to her like this. He sat beside her and drank tea silently.
Entering the private room, Sherry stammered, "Dad, Mom, Uncle... William."
Daniel also greeted the elders in turn.
Mrs. Perry quickly got up with shining smile. "You are here. Take a seat."
When she pulled Sherry, she said beside her in a low voice, "I thought Daniel's adoptive father was a foreigner. Why
didn't you tell me?"
Sherry whispered, "I didn't think so much..."
Her mother added, "But his adoptive father looks really poised and sophisticated. I'll test him later."
Sherry's heart skipped a beat. She stopped her. "Mom! Don't mess around. Uncle William is a nice man!"
Mrs. Perry quietly patted her leg to show that she knew what she was doing.
Then, she looked at William again with a smile. "Well... William, we have known a lot about Daniel. But we still have
some question. I heard that he is your adopted son. And... does he have any other brothers and sisters?"
William replied with a gentle smile, "I have a son and a daughter except him."
Mrs. Perry paused and asked, "Then why didn't you come today?"
"They are busy for now. They'll meet with us in the future."
Mrs. Perry nodded and said, "I see. Three children grew up together. It must be very lively at home. Sherry is the
only child of us. It's better to have brothers and sisters..."

"Mom!"
William smiled, indicating he didn't mind at all before he said slowly, "They didn't grow up together. Daniel has been
living with me in London all the time. As for my daughter and son, I have been separated from them for a long time
before we reunited not long ago."
Hearing this, Mrs. Perry tried her best to suppress the impulse to gossip in her heart and said with concern, "Well,
then you have to spend more time with the children and build a relationship with them. Don't alienate yourself from
them."
William's expression changed slightly, and he looked depressed a little. The smile on his face disappeared. "I will."
At the moment, the waiter served the dishes. Seeing this, Daniel changed the topic at the right time and said to Mr.
Perry, "Mr. Perry, the roast beef is the specialty here. Please have a try."
During the meal, Mrs. Perry and Daniel were active and made the atmosphere harmonious.
Although William didn't say much, he responded every question decently. Both Sherry's mother and father had a
good impression of him.
After dinner, William took the initiative to exchange contact information with the Perrys. He said to them and
Sherry, "I watched Daniel grown up and regarded him as my own son. He used to made mistakes in his relationship
with girls, but he told me that he really liked Sherry and would be responsible for her."
"As his father, I hope you can give him a chance to prove what he said. If he does something wrong, tell me. I will
punish him."
Daniel also took Sherry's hand and said, "Mr. Perry, Mrs. Perry, Sherry is the only person I want to marry in my life. I
will never let her down."
Mrs. Perry said, "Daniel... I also like you very much. What I concert about most is Sherry. Thanks for your promise, I
am relieved now."
Mr. Perry also said, "Daniel is a good boy. I believe he won't let us down."
After they finished speaking, they turned to look at Sherry, as if waiting for her answer.
Sherry blushed and said nothing else but "I" for a long time.
William said with a smile, "I'll go back to London in two days. If Daniel bullies you, tell Stella, she will give you a hand
first. And after I return, I'll punish him in person."
Mrs. Perry was confused. "Stella?"
William said, "Stella is my daughter."
Mrs. Perry looked surprised.
Something came to her mind, and she suddenly looked at Daniel.
Sherry was afraid that she would say something incredible, so she quickly pulled her back and said to William,
"Thank you, William. Thank you for coming today. I'll take my parents back first."
Daniel followed, "I'll see them off."
William replied, "Go ahead."
On the way back, Mrs. Perry sighed all the way. She never thought that Stella would be the sister of his son-in-law.
However, she did not say anything. It seemed that she was quite satisfied with the meeting tonight.

After sending them upstairs, Sherry sent Daniel downstairs.
Strolling in the residential area, Sherry let out a long sigh. "It's finally over."
While she was not looking, Daniel slowly grabbed her hand. "You seem to be very nervous during the meal."
"Of course. I don't know why. When I saw William, I always felt nervous."
How to put it, William was like that. He looked gentle, polite and generous who seemed to be easy to get along with,
and would not be angry no matter what.
In fact, people like him were often very distant. As if the look of gentle and polite were just a mask showing to
outsiders which could protect him.
But no one could go into their heart and know their real thought.
Daniel said slowly, "Do you know why although William is my adoptive father, I have never called him father?"
Sherry, who had been neglecting this point, was stunned at first and then full of doubts. "Why?"
"Because William adopted me for revenge." Daniel took her hand and walked forward step by step. "Both Emmett
and I, our purpose of coming to City N is to bring down the Steward family."
Speaking of this, Sherry remembered that he deliberately approached Phoebe Steward at the beginning.
Daniel continued, "To tell the truth, the fact is cruel. In William's eyes, most of the time, I am just a tool for revenge.
I have known all this since I was adopted by him. He has cultivated me for so many years just for the only one
goal."
Sherry was speechless. She said finally, "But I think William treats you well. He..."
"That's because, in his life, there is hope again."
Sherry didn't know what to say for a moment.
Daniel said, "We are not William. We can't imagine what kind of pain he had experienced twenty years ago. He
came out of hell. In the past many years, he has lived for revenge. He has nothing more but deep hatred in his life."
"You should have known that William and Stella are not very close. It's the same between he and Chan. Not
because he doesn't love them, but because he won't express his feelings anymore."
