CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84 He Defended Her

Ruby's expression was quite awkward, not because she didn't trust Johnson.

It was because they had been married for over two years, but she had never truly seen his true self. He always hid his true feelings, appearing close to her but actually never opened his heart to her.

It was like a wall couldn't be seen or touched, but it stood between them, keeping her at a distance.

Every time Johnson and Lilian were together, Ruby would feel a sense of panic, without any reason for it.

Ruby often wondered if it was because Lilian had deceived her older brother by pretending to be pitiful when they were children. That was why she was so easily frightened.

Now even the servants had seen it, and the evidence was clear. What other reason could she use to calm the unease in her heart?

Ruby warned, "Keep this matter to yourselves. If I hear anyone talking about it again, don't blame me for losing my temper!"

After saying this, she turned and left.

She returned to the living room, where Johnson was still casually chatting with others as if nothing had happened, not even giving Ruby a glance.

Ruby sat down beside him and was about to say something when Francis returned.

As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere in the room subtly changed, and the voices gradually lowered.

"Frank, you're back. Come over here." Rosalie greeted him warmly. Only when she saw Francis would she show such genuine joy.

Francis responded blandly, glanced around, and asked, "Where's Lilian?"

Rosalie's smile stiffened. This was her son, but as soon as he came home, he asked about that dummy. Flames of anger burned in her heart.

Johnson said, "Lilian should be busy in the kitchen right now."

Francis sneered and said, "Are there no servants in the house?"

Rosalie became somewhat displeased. She glanced at Johnson out of the corner of her eye, suspecting that he was deliberately causing trouble.

"Frank, Lilian just went to the kitchen to help out. It's not like she was being asked to go to war. Why are you so nervous? If someone doesn't know, they would think that our family is bullying your wife."
