My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 714

Chapter 714

“You’re right! If you are the in-law of the Johnston family, no one will dare to look down on your dad and me any longer…” As Miley thought about it, her eyes lit up. “My girl, mom can only depend on you now.” Chloe let out a gleeful smile. “Don’t worry, mom, I won’t disappoint you.” As she thought of it, the sound of the door opening suddenly rang out. Miley frowned and wanted to admonish the person for being so rude to interrupt her conversation with her daughter.

However, when she saw the person, the flames of anger in her eyes disappeared, leaving only an aggrieved look in them. Damien did not even look at Miley but instead turned to Chloe and said, “Chloe, has work been tiring? Why do you suddenly have time to return home?”

Chloe looked at Damien. A faint sullen look flashed across her eyes as she complained to Damien, “Dad, how could you hit mom?”

As she said that, she glanced at Miley. After hearing that, Damien’s expression changed. He did not expect Miley to tell his baby daughter about their troubles.

When Chloe saw his expression, she knew he was in a bad mood. Knowing that she could not speak against him anymore, she instead acted spoiled at him. “Dad, even if you are in a bad mood, you cannot be taking it out on mom, right? Also, that Nicole is really too much, and we cannot just take it lying down! We should be doing something about it!”

She was confident that her father would believe her, yet the moment she mentioned Nicole, Damien’s expression turned into hesitation. He turned to look at his daughter and said softly,” I know what you are thinking, but now is not the time. Wait until we get another good business contract, then we don’t have to be gauging other people’s mood before your grandpa any longer.”

How could Chloe not tell that Damien was just trying to blow smoke before her eyes? This was the umpteenth time already. Chloe looked angrily at Damien. “Bear with it? What’s wrong with you, dad? This is not how you usually act! Why are you so fearful of Uncle Daniel and his family?” She doubted, ‘Is this man still my previously decisive and ruthless father?’

Heavens know how much Damien wanted to give up enduring it. Yet, at this moment, the old man was favoring Daniel’s family, and Nicole could very well be the next pillar of the family.
