True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1216

"Zachary?" Yvonne hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Why is my father here? Why is he here for the second time?"

Zachary was initially in a good mood and felt satisfied teasing Yvonne.

But now things were interrupted by Benjamin, Zachary was in a bad mood.

Yvonne's father came that morning and Zachary was reluctant to meet him. Therefore, he asked the butler to drive him out. Later, the butler came back and reported that Benjamin was putting on airs, claiming that he was the father-in-law of the president of the Lowe Group.

Zachary felt lucky that he didn't have to see him.

At the same time, he also knew that it was impossible for him to not meet Benjamin forever. Benjamin would replace a way to meet with him sooner or later.

Two hours had passed and he was here again.

"He came here once this morning but I refused to meet him. Yvonne, I am quite clear about the ins and outs of your family. I respect your decision, but I also hope that the two of us can handle these things properly. If not, we won't have a peaceful life," Zachary sighed.

Yvonne was extremely frustrated the moment she heard that Benjamin was here.

She was infuriated just by thinking how greedy her dad was.

"Young Master Zachary, did you hear me?" The butler was still at the door asking, "Should I drive him away?"

"Yes, I've heard you. Go and tell him to wait for a moment," Zachary replied.

"Yes, sir!" With that, the butler left.

Yvonne frowned and shook her head in annoyance, "Get rid of him and drive him away. I don't wish to ever meet him. Zachary, I have a feeling that I'll definitely regret it if I meet him. I'm still in debt to my Grandma. It was Grandpa who raised me all this time, and that is the reason why I will still restrain myself from complaining no matter how fierce Grandma is to me or how unpleasant I feel."

But it was a completely different story from Benjamin. He was totally irresponsible.

Therefore, Yvonne's first reaction was to reject him. The previous day when she was at her Grandma's house, she also refused to address

Benjamin as his father.

To her surprise, he actually came knocking on the Lowe family's door.

Was this how a father should act if he was trying to reconcile with his daughter?

"Don't let him in," Yvonne tugged on Zachary's sleeve tightly and repeated.

Seeing that she was suddenly so nervous and tense, Zachary could only comfort her, "Yvonne, we have to know the true reason why he is here. After all, since he managed to replace where we lived, your Grandma should be aware of his arrival as well."

Yvonne was stupefied and became even more frustrated.

She felt utterly helpless.

Of course. Her grandma was probably the one who told him their address.

Benjamin did not live up to her expectations. He was uselessly dependent on his parents, even until now.

Over the years, Grandma and Grandpa had used up all their salary to help him and his family.

Yvonne was well aware that if it was not for her grandma, Benjamin would not have the guts to come knocking on their door.

In the very end, he still wanted to take advantage of Zachary.

Yvonne shook her head, her teeth digging into her lips unconsciously. Blood started to ooze out and stained her lips a bright, crimson colour.

Zachary immediately reached out and pinched her chin. He gently touched her lips with his thumb and said, "Yvonne, stop biting your lips."

Yvonne was taken aback upon seeing how anxious he was. It was only when she started picking up the scent of blood that she calmed herself down and let her teeth loose. She looked nervously at Zachary and pleaded, "Zachary, don't meet him. I also don't wish to meet him. Let's return to the Northern City and leave Southland as far as possible."

"Yvonne, just meet him once and we will know what he wants. He is your father after all."

"I don't have such a father," Yvonne denied as she shook her head.

If it weren't for how strong-willed she was and her Grandpa's last bit of mercy, she would have died a long time ago.

She had always believed that life was wonderful. As long as she worked hard enough, she had the choice to turn over a new leaf.

But after all these years, her father had never taken care of her nor loved her. Thus, there was no longer a need for his love anymore.

"He came here once before and he boasted to the butler saying that he is my father-in-law. If I don't meet him, he's going to go around Southland claiming that he is my father-in-law. Then, people will have to respect him just because of that."

"I don't want that to happen," Yvonne suddenly became anxious and immediately jumped down from the countertop. She took a deep breath and announced, "I'll go meet him now."

Then, she strode out of the room without even looking back.

Zachary quickly caught up to her.

Meanwhile, the butler still stood by the door, waiting.

Zachary ordered in a deep voice, "Bring him to the main hall."

No matter what, Benjamin was Yvonne's biological father. It was not appropriate to invite him to wait anywhere else.

"Yes!" The butler hurriedly brought Benjamin in and waited at the main hall.

Yvonne hurriedly asked, "Is it the hall with the portrait of your father?" "Yes!" Yvonne nodded. She then turned around and strode into the main hall.

Zachary grabbed her and urged, "Yvonne, listen to me. Don't meet him now."

"No," Yvonne insisted, "He definitely has some hidden intentions as to why he is here."

"I'll take care of it. We can go to the hall through the dining area."

He took Yvonne's hand and went back to the dining area. They walked over from the other side, passed through the long corridor, and managed to arrive at the main hall.

Before they headed in, Zachary asked Yvonne to wait at the corner, "Observe the situation first. Don't worry, I'll handle it. Trust me."

Yvonne looked into Zachary's eyes. Finally, she nodded and relented to Zachary's plan.

With that, Zachary headed into the main hall by himself.

Meanwhile, Benjamin was led by the butler and entered through the main entrance.

As soon as he saw Zachary, Benjamin immediately nodded and bowed ingratiatingly, "Zachary, I am Yvonne's father, and also your father-in-law. I heard that you guys got married, thus this makes me your father-in-law."

Zachary stared at this middle-aged man. He was talking to Zachary as if they had a close relationship.

Zachary also smiled politely, "Mr. Attwood, please take a seat."

He did not address him as father-in-law.

Benjamin felt as though something was wrong after hearing Zachary's words. Still, he didn't feel awkward and hurriedly added, "My son-in-law, you might as well call me father-in-law, or you can call me father too, like how Yvonne addressed me."

Zachary pointed to the portrait of his father and said to Benjamin, "Mr. Attwood, when my father was alive, he said that I would bring misfortune to him. I'm afraid that if I address you as father, I might harm you as well."

"What?" Benjamin was taken aback and his face instantly turned pale. He glanced at the portrait of Zachary's father awkwardly and nodded slightly at the portrait, muttering, "I never knew there was such a saying."

Zachary smirked. No one could tell his mood from his attitude. He was just as usual, polite and indifferent.

"Also, Yvonne's grandma told me not to address her as my grandma as well. I feel that as the younger generation, I should respect and obey the elderly's words," Zachary still seemed very calm, but his words were oozing with maliciousness.

He was very dissatisfied with the Attwood family.

Benjamin quickly sat down and smiled at Zachary, "Zachary, don't get upset. Yvonne's Grandma is old and stubborn, and she also has a bad temper. Take me as an example, I'm so old, yet I'm always being criticized by her. If she says anything you don't feel comfortable with, don't take it to heart."
