William immediately composed himself and tried to calm his fast beating heart.

"Yes dear, I am a bit worried" He lied.

​​

William wanted to tell her the truth but he knows if he suddenly tells her he is her father who she probably assumed to be dead, she won't believe him and things would get out of control.

It would be a huge chaos so William decided to act carefully and not do anything in haste as he cannot mess up this opportunity.

"Don't worry sir, my boyfriend is an amazing surgeon, have faith in him. The operation will definitely be a success" Rachel tried to cheer him on.

William realized he did not pay more attention, since she met him she kept talking about her boyfriend.

The doctor he met was her boyfriend, William was not sure how to feel about this.

To know his daughter was already old enough to have a boyfriend and she was even going on trips with him, it was infuriating.

'What the hell father is doing? How can he allow Rachel to go on a long trip with her boyfriend?' William got angry with James as he was not fine with his father's decision to allow his daughter on such trips that too with her boyfriend.

At that moment, William was a father who didn't care about anything else but was protective of his child.

"What happened sir?" Rachel asked him as there was no response from William.

William wanted to request her to not call him sir but he couldn't so he just decided to bear with it.

"Nothing dear, so this doctor is your boyfriend, right?"

Rachel thought, 'That's what I said so many times' but she just nodded her head.

"For how long have you two been dating each other? Is he from a good family? What is his family history?" Some back-to-back questions came out of William's mouth and he couldn't control himself.

Rachel was surprised as she didn't understand why William was so curious about her and her boyfriend's life.

William realized what he did, so he composed himself and brightly smiled at her, "Sorry dear, he is operating on my wife so I was curious about him" William tried to cover up for his actions.

"Oh" Rachel nodded her head in understanding.

"So?" William looked at her in a questioning way.

"So?" Rachel didn't get it.

"Tell me about him"

Rachel assumed maybe he was trying to distract himself from this operation, so she answered him.

"Oh, Daniel studied at Cambridge University, he is an amazing Neurosurgeon, very smart…"

She was listing all his amazing professional skills when William interrupted her, "Tell me about his family"

Rachel was surprised and looked at him in confusion as she wondered why he was interested in Daniel's family.

"A person's true nature can be judged from which family they belong to" William spouted out whatever rubbish that came into his mind.

Rachel didn't agree with him but she didn't want to argue as he might not be in the right state of mind with his wife's operation currently going on.

"He belongs to one of the richest families in London, they have their own business but he chose to be a doctor" Rachel didn't know what else to say.

William knew almost all the rich families in London, but it has been many years so he was not sure if her boyfriend belonged to the family he knew of, so he asked her, "What is your boyfriend's name, he told me but I forgot"

It was a casual question, so Rachel didn't think much about it and answered, "Daniel Morris"

William was again shocked to hear the surname 'Morris'.

He asked her for her boyfriend's name because he wanted to know his surname as he thought he would recognize it but when he heard the surname Morris, he was shocked.

He knew only one Morris and that was Harry Morris, his childhood best friend.

Then William pushed his brain to recollect things from the past and he recollected, Catherine and Harry named their first-born Daniel and if he was not wrong their second-born's name was Jim.

'What a coincidence' William thought to himself as his daughter was dating his two best friends' son.

"Does he have any siblings?" William tried to sound casual as he knew he was acting weird.

"Yes, a younger brother"

"Name?"

"Jimmy, sorry Jim, we call him Jimmy" Rachel explained.

'Fuck' William cursed in his mind as for two days he kept meeting Catherine and Harry's son and didn't recognize him.

Now William recollected how the first day when he saw Daniel, he indeed gave him Harry's vibe but William didn't look much into it.

Even the name Daniel didn't trigger much memories.

Right now he was stunned to know the two children who grew up in front of him for a few years were right in front of him and he failed at recognizing one of them.

William stood up from his seat and was walking anxiously, it was an amazing opportunity for him to run away, he was seriously thinking what to do and how to tell Rachel the truth without scaring her.

"I am sorry sir, is something wrong?" Rachel too stood up as she was worried what words of hers triggered him and made him worry like this.

William stepped towards Rachel and seriously looked at her.

"No, everything is fine but Rachel, listen to me carefully, what I am going to say might confuse you but…"

William decided he had no option but to tell Rachel the truth and he wanted to explain everything to her but just then he saw Ethan and his assistant approaching them.

Rachel's back was facing Ethan and William was standing in front of her facing Rachel and Ethan who is about to reach them.

William got scared of Ethan looking at Rachel's face as it might be enough for him to know Rachel is his daughter due to her uncanny resemblance to Liz.
