Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 39

Verian chased the angry Little Jelly Bean to her room on the second floor.

The little munchkin had already climbed into her soft bed. She was hiding under the blanket with one of her Peppa Pig dolls, crying sadly.

Verian came over and sat by the bed. She comforted the distressed kid. "Maybe Daddy was busy with something before so he couldn’t attend Little Jelly Bean's parent-child activity classes. Jelly Bean, can you stop crying?"

The little munchkin opened the blanket angrily. Her little body sat on the bed, and her big eyes were so red. She looked pitiful, like a poor bunny that was abandoned. "Daddy likes brother more than Jelly Bean! Jelly Bean no longer loves daddy! Hmph!"

The comparison between love received among children was done unintentionally. What was more was that Heaton was obviously biased. He hurt Little Jelly Bean's heart.

Verian stretched her hands and embraced the kid in her arms. She lifted her hands to gently rub her tears away and comforted her softly. "Please stop crying. You won't look good if your eyes become swollen because of crying."

"Monty, why does daddy like my brother more? My daddy is mine! Is it because Jelly Bean is disobedient?"

The little kid frowned and looked at Verian with her tormented and puzzled wet face. Verian froze and felt even more distressed.

How should she answer Little Jelly Bean's question? Should she tell the little munchkin that it was because Zaynie was her father's son?

Verian could only try to change the topic and try to divert her attention. "Didn't daddy say he'll go to Jelly Bean's parent-child activity class next time?"

"It was only because Jelly Bean was angry that daddy made the promise. My brother only asks once, and my daddy immediately agrees! Jelly Bean asked daddy several times before but he never went!"

The little kid sounded jealous. Her big eyes blinked, and tears came down. Verian felt distraught and did not know how to comfort her.

The little munchkin sniffed with her little nose, and the bridge of her nose twitched. She sat there and said pitifully, "Brother has aunt and daddy. Jelly Bean has no mummy and no daddy. Boohoo..."

As the little munchkin finished talking, she burst into tears and could not hold back her tears anymore.

Verian held onto her in her arms and instantaneously caressed the little kid's head. She lowered her head to kiss her milky white forehead and said, "They don't care about you but you still have me. I care about you."

"Monty... Boohoo... Do you dote on Jelly Bean the most? Boohoo..."

"Yeah, I dote on Jelly Bean the most. Stop crying, okay?"

Little Jelly Bean was crying pretty loudly. As Heaton walked upstairs, he saw the little munchkin crying in tears and mucus, and he involuntarily frowned.

"Jelly Bean, daddy didn't do it on purpose. Of course, you are daddy’s favorite."

Little Jelly Bean pursed her little mouth, and buried her head in Verian's arms angrily. "Hmph, I don't love daddy anymore. Daddy, go away!"

Previously, Heaton did not attend Little Jelly Bean’s parent-child activity classes because Old Master Fudd always fought with him to attend them. John Fudd loved his granddaughter a lot, more so because Little Jelly Bean was always obedient and cute since she was young. She was the apple of the old master’s eyes. The old master always fought with him for the chance to take care of Little Jelly Bean but work always made him busy. Therefore, after Little Jelly Bean could walk and talk better, the old master took care of her often.

Since the old master retired from the military, he had only three things to do at home, namely rearing fish, playing chess, and taking care of his granddaughter. He always brought Little Jelly Bean to visit his army friends' houses.

However, Heaton did not expect that this would cause Little Jelly Bean to have a misconception that she lacked her father's love.

Heaton sat down by the bed and patiently explained to the little munchkin. "Daddy always wanted to go to the parent-child activity classes with Jelly Bean before, but grandpa always said that he wanted to go. Grandpa loves Jelly Bean so much that daddy must let grandpa go. Your brother has had no daddy since he was young, but he tells the children in the class that I'm his father. If daddy doesn't go, your brother will be very embarrassed. Does Jelly Bean want to make your brother sad?"

The little munchkin's mouth was pursed, and she threw her small body into Heaton's arms. "Daddy, Jelly Bean loves you. What Jelly Bean just said was to make you angry!"

Heaton smiled gently and hugged the little munchkin tightly in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her small forehead.

Then, he said in a low and hoarse voice, "Daddy loves you forever."

Verian who was watching this scene felt her heart become extremely soft, as if her heart collapsed into sand. She felt the softness spread to her bones.

The little kid cried with tears and mucus. Her dirty little face rubbed Heaton's face and she gave him a big kiss. Her small hands also hugged Verian's neck, and she kissed her.

The little munchkin stared at the two adults with great enthusiasm. "Daddy, Jelly Bean don't want to sleep alone tonight. I want to sleep with you and Monty! Jelly Bean wants to sleep in the middle!"

Heaton's black eyes were stunned. "Jelly Bean, daddy's bed and blanket are not big enough to fit all of us."

Contrary to his expectations, this little munchkin was smart. She curved her big eyes and said with a smile, "Jelly Bean is very small and will not take up too much of the blanket and bed!"

Verian was extremely willing for her to do so. If Little Jelly Bean slept in the middle, then this man could not touch her and say that she lured him!

"Little Jelly Bean is so sad tonight. Just treat it as a make up for her!"

When the man looked at her, his face became stern. This made Verian feel diffident.
