In William's office...
"Firstly, let me apologise to you again for my less-than-ideal behaviour before. I don't react well when surprised. Secondly... Chloe, my daughter..." William, being the crafty old man he was. He started the conversation by addressing Muku, then switching to Chloe midway.
While it left a bad taste in his mouth. It was the only way he could lower Chloe's guard. He even trailed off a bit before really getting into it. This was a way of indirectly telling Chloe that if she didn't want to talk, she could stop him.
Fortunately for him, while she was still angry at him. He was her father, who had given her everything he could apart from his presence. So, she still wanted to hear him out. Because of this, she remained silent, signalling him to continue.
"Right... You see, it's not that I wanted to leave you behind or not keep in touch," William started speaking with a smile on his face. He was happy she was willing to hear him out.
