My Disabled Husband Has A Secret novel Chapter 8

Author's POV

"How is the Food? Does it suit your taste?" Lelia asked Duke.

"It is good," Duke said.

Lelia smiled. "I have a good news to share" Lelia spoke up.

"Sure. What is it?" Duke put down the spoon and then looked at her.

"I got a job at Winters Group. I will join from tomorrow" Lelia spoke up excitedly.

"Congratulations. I have something to say as well but it is not a good news" Duke said.

"What happened?" Lelia asked.

"My Father invited us for dinner. Tomorrow we have to go there. They don't like me. They will use every mean word to hurt and embarrass you if they get the chance. If you don't want to go with me then I will not force you" Duke said to her

"I will go with you," Lelia said.

"Okay, then, be ready at 7," Duke said and stood up, holding his stick.

"Where are you going?" Lelia asked him.

"I have some work to do," Duke said and left from there.

Sullivan Mansion

Jackson and Nancy, his wife, were seated and drinking tea in the living room when Hunter came there.

"Dad, please come and join us. Nancy brings tea for Father," Jackson said to his wife.

"Sure" Nancy left from there.

Hunter sat on a sofa. He had come to ask about that particular project with Winters Group.

The enchanting smell of the incense smoke of wood blew over from one side.

"Where is Jonathan?" Hunter asked about his grandson.

"Dad, Mr. Winters PA wanted to discuss about the project so I have sent Jonathan. He knew better" Jackson said happily. Finally, after a lot of effort, they agreed to meet us.

"Jackson, this project with Winters Group is very important to us. We must have this project or our company will go bankrupt very soon. Leave no room for mistakes" Hunter said.

"Don't worry Dad. Our Jonathan will come with good news. Please have this" Nancy put the tea cup before Hunter.

"Of course. As soon as we will sign the deal our share price will rise one level higher. Also, no rival company will try to harm us as soon as we sign with Winters Group," Jackson said.

Hunter was happy to hear this. He continued happily, "So what's the status of this project? Will Jonathan sign the contract today?"

"I think so, Dad. Although Jonathan has gone to discuss the project but you knew him. He will get the contract signed today somehow" Jackson said.

"You are right, Honey. Our son has always brought success. Nancy looked at Hunter and continued, "Your grandson has never disappointed you, Dad"

Hunter was pleased and nodded his head.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"All the men of the Sullivan family were outstanding except that lowly bastard Duke" Hunter looked coldly at Jackson.

"It was expected Dad. You can not expect an outstanding person like our son Jonathan from a maid. His mother was a maid of this house" Nancy snapped at Jackson.

She still can't forgive him for sleeping with that maid.

"I heard that fool has changed his surname. He has taken his mother's surname" Hunter said.

"It is good for both of us, Dad. A bastard like him never deserved the Sullivan title. But Dad, why did you invite him for tonight's dinner? You knew he was a murderer. What if he tried to hurt us?" Nancy was against it. But she can't say anything in front of Hunter.
