Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 28

The stares from the man’s black pearly eyes immediately gave Verian Mont goosebumps. She stuttered to explain, “I, I didn’t…”

She truly was not seducing him while flirting with his Bodd Yellen.

Maples Fudd stared furiously at Bodd Yellen while apologizing to Heaton Fudd, “Heaton Fudd, you’ve just witnessed a living joke. It was all because this little rascal is still immature. You can leave with Miss Mont and Little Jelly Bean. We’ll pretend today’s incident never happened.”

“Mom!”

Bodd Yellen stared at his mother displeased, while redirecting his gaze toward Heaton Fudd. “Uncle, let me speak to you in private.”

Maples Fudd was boiling with rage. She said, “What else can you say to your uncle after causing such a huge debacle?”

Heaton Fudd was unusually patient. He said, “Don’t worry sister. I’ll speak to Bodd Yellen in private.”

Bodd Yellen and Heaton Fudd went out to the garden in the backyard of the Bodd’s family home.

Only Maples Fudd, Little Jelly Bean and Verian Mont remained in the living room.

Maples Fudd took a deep breath to suppress her anger. She calmly said, “Miss Mont, since you’re Heaton Fudd’s wife, why did you come over with Leafy Bodd for lunch as his girlfriend?”

“I... aunty, me and Heaton Fudd…”

“Wait, according to our social status, you don’t need to call me aunty, you should be addressing me as sister.”

Verian Mont’s expression was a mess. She was beyond embarrassed. How could she possibly explain to Maples Fudd that she was not Heaton Fudd’s wife.

“Sis, sister, Yellen Budd and I met each other in Paris. I am his schoolmate. After I returned, I never get to tell Bodd Yellen that I am already married to... Heaton Fudd, so…”

Maples Fudd frowned, “Oh so, you had dated Bodd Yellen before this? Nevertheless, you’re still toying with two men. This is how I should phrase it. You’re leaching off Bodd Yellen to get to know Heaton Fudd. After you realized Heaton Fudd was better, you’ve tossed him aside right?”

Maples Fudd stared at her with a gentle smile.

“I truly didn’t. I didn’t even know Heaton Fudd was Bodd Yellen’s uncle. I am not even Bodd Yellen’s girlfriend…”

“You were with Bodd Yellen for three years and you dare say you’re not his girlfriend? Miss Mont, I can’t understand your view in relationships and am unsure how chaotic your life truly is. Since you’re already married to Heaton Fudd, stop bothering Bodd Yellen from now on. Also, please don’t bother other guys too.”

Verian Mont bit her lower lip. She said while clenching her fist, “Madam Fudd, no matter what you think of me, me and Bodd Yellen were never a couple to begin with. I’ve always thought of him as a good friend.”

Little Jelly Bean who was standing on the side looked up with her tiny face and stared at Maples Fudd. She frowned while defending Verian Mont saying, “Aunty, my dad and Monty are truly in love. Monty never loved Brother Yellen!”

Maples Fudd was slightly agitated. Her own son had been tricked and even that Little Jelly Bean was defending her step mother now. Her initial great impression on Verian Mont was now completely shattered.

…

The garden in the backyard.

Bodd Yellen spoke bluntly, “Uncle, Verian Mont had told me everything about your relationship.”

Heaton Fudd crossed his arms and said, “Oh? What did she tell you?”

“She told me that you guys are solely in a business relationship. I know that she is pretending to be your wife just for the mansion. Uncle, I like Verian and the three years in Paris, I’ve always loved her. Uncle, I hope you can fulfil our wishes.”

That man grinned. “You like her. Does she like you?”

After hesitating for a really long time, Verian Mont reluctantly walked upstairs. She twisted the doorknob and as she was just about to step into the room, she was yelled at furiously by a manly voice, “Get out and knock on the door.”

“...”

Thus, Verian Mont was forced to reenter the room. After closing the door, she raised her hand to gently knock on the door. She said with a polite tone, “Excuse me Mr. Fudd, may I enter now?”

“Come in.”

Verian Mont pushed the door open. After biting her lips and hesitating, she slowly spoke, “I am here to give you an explanation. Bodd Yellen invited me to his home for lunch. I didn’t expect his mother to misunderstand his relationship with me. Me and him…”

“You like him?”

Heaton Fudd raised his head while his dark pearly eyes completely locked onto her tiny face. His question was blunt.

Verian Mont was stunned as she recalled her conversation with Nancy Xander. She pouted and said, “Liking him or not has nothing to do with you Mr. Fudd. Our relationship is strictly tied by an agreement. After the agreement expires, we will have nothing to do with each other. I shouldn’t need to report to you regarding who I like.”

After she spoke courageously, she felt that a statement like that would be enough to provoke Heaton Fudd. She cautiously glanced at the man’s face with the corner of her eye.

Heaton Fudd’s long slender fingers that were used to sign agreements twitched slightly. He stood up and hastily walked toward her.

The fast pace of that man approaching her made the surrounding tense. She instinctively took a step back until she was backed into the door frame. Verian Mont stared at him cautiously and anxiously gulped. She nervously asked, “Our agreement, when will it expire?”

“Why? Excited to be with my nephew?”

That man’s handsome face suddenly grew closer to her. His warm breath exhaled onto her tiny face. It felt itchy. She was now trapped in this small space and her mind was unable to focus or calm down. Even her heartbeat was getting faster. All she could hear was the man’s captivating voice that had hints of playfulness. His voice glided by her earlobes, “Did you forget that our agreement is not only tied to business matters, but also tied to bedding rites?
