Ann did not expect William to ask Phillip suddenly and she turned blushed.
Although during this period of time, William's impression of Phillip had changed, Ann was afraid that he still couldn't accept that she was with Phillip.
Therefore, she and Phillip kept it from him, hoping that William would have a better impression of Phillip after a while.
But when William asked about it now, she didn't know how to answer.
As William saw her blushing face, he understood.
Recalling what Melinda said before she left, William felt a little hesitant.
Although he hated Melinda for abandoning them for wealth, Melinda was still Ann's mother and she would not harm Ann.
As she said those words out of the blue, she must know something.
With her status, she definitely knew more about these rich families than himself.
Moreover, he couldn't live for long due to his reducing health.
Out of his own concerns, he was also worried that Ann would get involved with a big family like the Moore family.
