Arrogant President Dotes on Me novel Chapter 29

As if to conceal her guiltiness, she raised her voice again.”How is she not my biological daughter? If she wasn’t my biological daughter, I’d have kicked her out ages ago, you think I’d still let her eat and drink feely in my house?!” “Baron,” she continued. “Your relationship with Andrea is not an open and respectable one. I can’t tell you what to do. Similarly, you can’t tell me what to do with our family matters either.”

Hazel’s words do have a point. After all, Andrea was his mistress, they only have a physical relationship. But, Baron isn’t a reasonable person.

Hearing Hazel’s words, he said “Try me.”

Those words made Hazel speechless, and she stood there, fuming. Finally, she glared at Andrea and said, “Fine. You make some clear boundaries at home, when Baron dumps you, don’t come crying back home and ask us for help!”

Hazel turned and left, defeated.

Seeing the problem resolved, Zoey called cleaners over to clean up. Baron shot Andrea a glance. “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get back to the office!”

Andrea came back to earth and quickly followed Baron. “Thank you for that."

“You don’t need to thank me, just go back and finish that report.” Baron stuffed his hands in his pocket and continued, “Leaving without asking for permission, Andrea, do you still have any respect for company rules?” Andrea explained “It was an urgent situation.”

“Doesn’t matter if it was an urgent situation, you still need to abide by the rules.” Baron cut in.

“Alright,” says Andrea, accepted with a nod.

How can she have forgotten, Baron is not a reasonable person.

Speechless, she waited quietly for the elevator to arrive at the car park level.

Rang the elevator bell. Baron stepped out the elevator.

“What are you still daydreaming about?” he said.

Startled, Andrea jumped. “Just a little surprised that I’ve cut all relations with her just like that,”

“Don’t tell me you are getting sentimental now,” Baron said.

Andrea shook her head. “Even if she is my mother, I won’t have any lingering thoughts about her. When I was little, I didn’t understand, and thought if I did the best, she would be nicer to me. Then, I discovered, no matter how well I do, she demanded more.”

Of the three children, one was the apple of her eye, the other two were simply used to extract their worths from, and there was no affection to speak of. Andrea was thoroughly disappointed.

“Although, she’s only just saying it, ending relations is only a superficial excuse, she won’t let me and my brother off that easily,” she said with a lowered voice.

The car drove along smoothly, silence followed for awhile.

Baron’s expression changed, as if Andrea’s words reminded him of some deep secret.

When Andrea looked up, he resumed his poker face.

“Well, she isn’t in control of your brother’s business anymore, so you don’t need to be polite to her now.”

Or course, Andrea would never be polite to Hazel again. Now that the mother and daughter relationship has ended, they are no more than strangers. What normal person would be polite to an unreasonable trouble maker?

Andrea thought for a moment. “Um, really, thank you for today.” She pursed her lips, thinking, sometimes, Baron is actually pretty nice. It seems like every time she comes across a sticky situation, Baron is always there to help her out.

Baron closed his eyes in thought, “No need to thank me, I signed the extramarital affair contract, I will do what I am supposed to do.”

Hearing the words ‘extramarital affair contract’, all the nice thoughts Andrea had about Baron dispersed like smoke in the wind. True, if it wasn’t for the extramarital affair contract, he wouldn’t be bothered with her pathetic issues. He’s just covering his own bases. Andrea bit her lip.
