Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 179

They were both lost in their own thoughts throughout the journey.

Upon returning to Shallow Bay, it was unsure whether it was due to her pregnancy as after dinner and before even bedtime, Verian was already feeling slightly drowsy.

Heaton was taking care of some business in the study, and it did not take long after she laid in bed to fall asleep.

When 10pm arrived, Little Jelly Bean was throwing a tantrum as she wanted Verian to read her a bedtime story. The little rascal jumped and leaped about with a nursery storybook in hand. When she arrived at the bedroom, she was stopped by Heaton.

Little Jelly Bean innocently looked up with her tiny face while blinking toward Heaton. She asked in a puzzled tone, “Daddy, I’m gonna look for Monty to have her read me a bedtime story. Why’d you stop me?”

Heaton replied in a soft tone, “Monty is sleeping and it’s not early anymore so you should go to bed too.”

Confused, Little Jelly Bean asked while frowning, “Why did Monty go to bed this early today?”

“Because there’s a baby in Monty’s belly.”

Little Jelly Bean suddenly grew happier. “Daddy, is the baby in Monty’s belly a boy or a girl!”

“It’s still unknown now. Maybe it’s a boy, maybe it’s a girl. However, regarding this, let’s not tell Monty about this for now. Okay?”

“Okay!”

After Heaton convinced Little Jelly Bean to sleep, he returned to the master’s bedroom.

Verian was sleeping on her side. Her tiny face was pressed against the pillow as she slept soundly.

As Heaton approached and sat by her side, he raised his hand and brushed the messy black hair on her pillow. As he had just about to grab his pajamas to take a shower in the washroom, Verian’s phone chimed on the bedside table. The screen lit up as it received a text from the hospital.

Heaton frowned slightly as he clicked it open only to see…

A medical appointment text.

The main body of the text showed it was an abortion procedure scheduled at ten in the morning tomorrow!

Heaton’s dark pearly eyes violently constricted.

As he looked toward the peaceful look on the woman who was sleeping soundly, the rage in his dark pearly eyes gradually sparked.

Verian actually wanted to abort this child!

…

While Verian was dazed from being asleep, she heard splashing sounds coming from the washroom.

Was Heaton taking a shower?

She took a look at the time on her phone. It was already ten-thirty.

She laid in bed and waited for Heaton, but the man who was taking a shower had not come out even when it was eleven.

Verian squeezed her brows as usually whenever Heaton Fudd took a shower everyday, he would often be quicker than regular people. The longest he would take was twenty minutes. Today however, why was he taking such a long shower?

Verian was worried something had happened to him, so she took the covers aside and walked toward the washroom and gave the door a knock. “Heaton? Are you in there?”

The man inside did not respond, and the only reply she could hear was the splashing sounds of water.

Verian frowned harder so she immediately opened the door and entered. The moment she opened the door, Verian called out to him, “Heaton…”

The scene projected into her eyes was Heaton standing in the shower completely naked from head to toe as Verian blushed.

“I-I thought you passed out so I came to check on you. I called out to you earlier, why’d you…”

Her speech grew increasingly frantic as her face was flushed beyond warmth. “Since you’re fine, I’ll head out now.”

“Ah!”

Verian shrieked as without her pajamas, the stingingly cold water directly rained down on her head. It was so cold, it seemed to seep through the cracks of her bones!

Her entire body had goosebumps all over from the cold. She felt so humiliated, she wanted to cry. “Heaton, I’m extremely cold…! Let me go!”

“Let you go?” Heaton inched closer to her as he squeezed her shivering chin with his long slender fingers without hesitation. Word by word, he questioned her, “Let you go so you can abort our child in the hospital?”

Verian’s eyes violently trembled! Even her heart stopped beating!

She suddenly grew frantic upon facing such a sharp gaze from Heaton. She grabbed onto his arm with her tiny hands. “I didn’t… Heaton, listen to me explain…”

“Listen to your explanations? Riana, how many lies have you told me exactly!”

Verian’s watery eyes trembled as the cold water raining down from the shower no longer felt that cold suddenly…

She stared at Heaton’s sinister and furious handsome face as she suddenly began laughing. “When did you learn of my pregnancy? Heaton, you already knew I was lying to you so why didn’t you expose me? Was all of this pre-planned by you?! The grapefruit juice… Did you tell Little Jelly Bean to have me drink some grapefruit juice?”

Heaton stared at her coldly, completely displeased with getting lied to and argued with. A single word of affirmation escaped his thin lips. “Yes.”

Verian understood everything clearly now. She cracked a grin at the corner of her lips. “You’ve known about my purpose long before this. You kept me by your side only to trap me. You got me pregnant only to use our child as part of your vengeance. You even wanted to use our child to cause me to rebel, to help you take Yanni Quain down!”

Only Heaton was the person with all the chess pieces under his control.

On the other hand, she was nothing more than a pawn in his grand scheme of things!

The man’s fingers, which were squeezing her chin, grew tighter inch by inch as if he wanted to crush her into bits!

Heaton’s dark pearly eyes were bloodshot red as he stared at her with absolute hatred. “Verian Mont, you think I’m like you to use our child as a weapon?”

“Was this not the case? You brought harm to my father and you knew I hated you, but you still got me pregnant with your child and made me feel guilty about you! Heaton Fudd, only you are the most terrifying person out there!”
