Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 45

After Verian Mont was done with overtime work, she gave Heaton Fudd a call. However, Little Jelly Bean picked up the call instead.

The little rascal asked her in a naive voice, “Monty, why didn’t you pick me up from school with daddy?”

“Because I had to stay back for overtime work today. I’ll pick you up next time okay?”

Since it was Heaton Fudd’s phone and Little Jelly Bean was the one who picked up the call, that meant the father and daughter duo should be home now right?

It seemed, Heaton Fudd actually did not wait for her after all.

“Monty, hurry up and come home now. Jelly Bean misses you.”

In the black Spyker, Little Jelly Bean was casually sitting on the car seat. Her tiny, tender hands grabbed onto a black cell phone that was bigger than her hand while another hand was holding onto her tiny feet. It was extremely adorable.

Verian Mont’s heart melted as she was listening to the call. She only replied with a single, “okay”.

On the other hand, after the phone call ended, Little Jelly Bean frowned and asked Heaton Fudd who was sitting next to her, “Daddy, it was you who wanted Monty to hurry up and come home, why do you want Jelly Bean to say it was Jelly Bean who wanted Monty to come home faster?”

Heaton Fudd raised his hand to pat his daughter’s head while lying with a serious look, “Because Monty likes Jelly Bean more. So Jelly Bean’s words would be better than daddy’s okay.”

“Really?’ Little Jelly Bean beamed up happily while squinting her eyes.

“Daddy, it’ll be my birthday in three days, can you and Monty celebrate it for me?”

The little rascal raised three fingers while staring at Heaton Fudd with her watery eyes. Heaton Fudd was stunned since he had almost forgotten that in three days, it would be Little Jelly Bean’s third birthday. If Verian Mont’s memory was not bad, she might notice Little Jelly Bean’s birthday fell on the same day as the child she delivered for her surrogate pregnancy.

It was about time for her to know her true relationship with Little Jelly Bean.

“Of course, what gift would Jelly Bean want for your birthday?”

“Daddy, I don’t want a birthday gift, could you not be mad at Monty?”

Heaton Fudd was stunned. He looked at her with a funny look and said, “What am I mad at her for?”

“This morning, Monty accidentally scalded brother’s hands. Monty didn’t mean it. Daddy, don’t blame Monty okay? Jelly Bean doesn’t wish to see you and Monty argue.”

Little Jelly Bean was known for her wit since her early childhood. This witty trait was no doubt inherited from him. Since that woman, Verian Mont was not too foolish either.

Heaton Fudd lowered his head to kiss his daughter’s forehead. He never answered the little rascal’s question. Instead, he spoke in a soft tone, “Didn’t Jelly always wanted a doll? Why don’t daddy give you a doll as a gift?”

The little rascal clapped her hands excitedly, “I want it, Jelly Bean wants to braid the doll’s hair and dress it up in pretty dresses.”

…

When Yellen Bodd sent Verian Mont into the Fudd’s family mansion, Verian Mont immediately told him to stop, “You don’t have to enter, I’ll get off from here.”

Yellen Bodd closed in with his face. He could see through Verian Mont’s thoughts. He teasingly asked, “You’re afraid of my uncle seeing me right?”

Verian Mont’s face began to flush as she stuttered, “I am afraid of being seen by other members of the Fudd family. Besides, I am your uncle’s wife, if anyone has seen you sending me back home, who knows what they’ll say behind our backs.”

“Verian, you wouldn’t be in love with my uncle right?”

The moment Verian Mont turned around, Yellen Bodd’s face inched closer. It was magnified in front of her eyes. She stunned while her eyebrows denied it, “How, impossible. I’m only acting with him!”

She turned around to look at his back and after being unable to hold back, she finally opened her mouth. “Didn’t you tell me to pick up Little Jelly Bean with you after work? Why didn’t you wait for me?”

Who would have known, that man simply gave a cold and simple mocking reply, “I noticed you were having fun by staying back after work, I’m afraid you’ve completely forgotten about it.”

“I didn’t, I’ve stayed behind for overtime work…”

The moment her statement ended, Nancy Xander looked at her with a funny look, “Verian, how could you frame me like this, this is your first day at work and there isn’t much important work, why would I make you stay behind for overtime work?”

Verian Mont frowned and furiously said, “Nancy Xander, it was you…”

However, before she could finish, Heaton Fudd glanced back at her coldly and interjected, “Enough, Verian Mont, even if you’re lying, there should be a limit to it.”

She clenched her fist as she stood helplessly while her heart was filled with a huge wave of humiliation and despair.

It did not matter if she or Nancy Xander was right, Heaton Fudd would no doubt side with Nancy Xander. To him, the truth was completely unimportant, he would always judge a person and not the ordeal. She bit her lips while staring at him with her watery eyes for three whole seconds before striding upstairs.

The instant Verian Mont entered the room, she began packing. It did not matter if Nancy Xander was bullying her, even Heaton Fudd would aid Nancy Xander in bullying her!

The moment Heaton Fudd walked upstairs, he noticed Verian Mont was furiously packing her things away. He asked menacingly, “What on Earth are you doing?”

Still being caught in anger, Verian Mont gave him a cold chuckle. “I will return to Mont’s family mansion for a few days. Or else, me being here will be a huge fuse to burn, right? Besides, Mr. Fudd and I are just acting, acting a few days more or less shouldn’t be a problem right? Besides, your father isn’t even at home, so there’s no one to show our acting for…”

She ranted all of her furies in a single breath. However, within the next second, the luggage by her feet was kicked away by the man. “You dare to leave the Fudd family home?”

Verian Mont was even more furious at this point, her chest was rising and falling violently. “I, why wouldn’t I dare to! Who do you think you are Heaton Fudd, what right do you have to control where I head to?!”
