In the black Spyker.
Little Jelly Bean was sitting with Zaynie. The two little rascals were playing with a robot cat.
Nancy Xander looked toward that man who was driving at the moment. She said while puckering up her lips, “Say Heaton, don’t you think Verian and Yellen Bodd make a good couple?”
Really?
The man scoffed, “She’s now my wife though.”
“If… it wasn’t for Little Jelly Bean, Heaton, will you still be with Verian Mont?”
Nancy Xander’s gaze was focused onto him. She was desperately hoping for him to deny it as a glint of hope could be seen from the corner of her eyes. Her heart grew anxious.
Heaton Fudd remained silent for a long while. His cold prideful gaze was unchanging as he only replied with a single cold statement, “There is no if, she is mine now.”
Nancy Xander’s eyes twitched as the light in the corner of her eyes faded away completely. Even her heart grew cold.
She would never allow Verian Mont to steal Heaton Fudd away. Since she already lost Briskly Fudd, she could not lose Heaton Fudd too.
…
After dropping Little Jelly Bean and Zaynie off at the kindergarten, Heaton Fudd and Nancy Xander head toward Fudd Group.
The moment Heaton Fudd arrived at the office, Jensen knocked on the door before coming in. He said, “Boss, the dinner with GK Organization’s representatives is at the Peninsula Excursion Hotel in the city.”
The man nodded and with a flash across his dark pearly eyes, he recalled the party Verian Mont mentioned to him last night.
“Go look up where my wife’s part will be at, okay?”
“Alright, I’ll do it immediately.’
…
South Hill Cemetery.
Verian Mont watched the grave tiller bury Grayson Mont’s ashes and sealing the grave with her own two eyes. The tears she was holding back all this while finally fell.
Yellen Bodd raised his arm to give Verian Mont a side hug on her shoulders. He gently patted her and said, “Don’t be sad Verian, uncle who is in heaven will want you to send him off happily.”
Verian Mont smiled through her tears. After kneeling at Grayson Mont’s grave for a long while and bowing her head, she left with Yellen Bodd.
…
When they returned into the city, it was already lunch time.
Yellen Bodd recalled a new Japanese restaurant that had just opened near Fudd Group. It was extremely authentic. He said, “Why don’t I send you back after lunch, Verian?”
Verian Mont thought about returning home now and she would have to eat with Old master Fudd. That old man had a short temper and she did not want to return home to repent for her sins, thus, she nodded and said, “Sure.”
After they arrived at the Japanese restaurant, Yellen Bodd ordered some sashimi and seafood. He then said with a smile, “I recall that you have a sweet tooth. The Matcha Melaleuca in this shop is pretty good.”
As soon as they ordered, Verian Mont heard a familiar female voice.
“Heaton, this Japanese restaurant just recently opened. It’s super authentic.”
Yellen Bodd was surprised as well. As he looked out the door, he saw Nancy Xander walking in with Heaton Fudd.
“Verian, it’s uncle and aunty.”
Verian Mont was completely baffled. Today was truly awful. Even choosing a random restaurant to dine in, she would run into both Nancy Xander and Heaton Fudd.
Heaton Fudd and Nancy Xander who were standing together too had noticed them.
“It’s Verian and Yellen Bodd. Heaton, let’s go say hi together.”
As Heaton Fudd and Nancy Xander approached them, Verian Mont let out an awkward and nervous laugh while greeting them, “Hey, hey!”
Heaton Fudd glared at her as Verian Mont stood up to offer her seat. However, her wrist was grabbed by that man. That man frowned and questioned her, “Where are you going?”
Verian Mont looked at Nancy Xander and said, “I… was offering my seat to you and sister in law.”
Everyone knew about him and Nancy Xander being a couple. She was nothing but his fake wife. Hence, she was not that shameless to attach herself onto him.
A huge arm grabbed Verian Mont by her waist and before she could react, the man had already lowered his head, locking lips with hers.
“...”
Verian Mont’s eyes widened. He had actually kissed her!
The man’s soft and cold lips weighed heavily on her.
Her tiny face turned red all the way up to her earlobes. As she was about to push him away, Heaton Fudd released her. His dark pearly eyes stared directly at Yellen Bodd and said, “Is that clear enough for you? We’re serious.”
Verian Mont covered her mouth with her hands and she did not dare to look up.
“We’re full now. Help yourselves!”
Yellen Bodd stood up immediately and stared directly at Verian Mont. Hints of sadness could be seen from the corner of his eyes before he bolted out the Japanese restaurant.
Only three people remained at the table. The atmosphere grew even more tense.
Both of Nancy Xander’s arms that were under the table were crossing her fingers even tighter now.
The meal ended in a very peculiar manner.
As they left the Japanese restaurant, Nancy Xander took off beforehand as she seemed to be in a depressed mood.
Verian Mont bit her lip and asked, “The kiss you gave me earlier, was it to provoke sister-in-law?”
Heaton Fudd gave her a cold stare and said, “I only wanted you to be clear of your current status.”
“I didn’t know why Yellen Bodd would pick me up today, I didn’t even send him a text…”
That man shrugged her off with a single wave, interrupting her explanation, “Burying your father together, then having lunch together. Should you also plan to share a night together?”
“Heaton Fudd, what right do you have to shame me?”
Verian Mont’s tiny face was flushed red as she turned around to leave. However, her arm was grabbed by the man, pulling her back. He backed her against a wall while pressing his chest against hers. He gave her a judgmental cold gaze and said, “You can agree to be a surrogate with a stranger for money and pretend to be my wife for a house. You’re even in a complicated relationship with my nephew. Verian Mont, what right do you think I have to shame you?”
