Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 120

As night fell, the black Mercedes-Benz drove into Gerbera Residence in Yoreast Hills Garden. Ted got out from the passenger seat, opened the door to the back seat, and said, "Mr. Zellweger."

After Richard got out of the car, he buttoned his suit and headed straight into the villa.

The dinner was ready. Seeing Richard, Mrs. Zellweger asked faintly, "You're back."

"Yep." Richard took off his jacket. He then sat in his seat and looked at Adriana, but didn't say anything. 

Adriana originally wanted to greet him. But as she saw her cold face, she didn't do it.

"You have not been home for a few days. Is work getting busier?" Richard's mother sensed how weird the atmosphere was and said. 

"Everything is okay."

Richard had never complained about either his work or personal life. He was very harsh towards his employees, but he was even harsher on himself. So his employees had no reason to complain.

His mother really admired his personality. 

"You should take care of your health, no matter how busy you are at work. You have to know that you are not only representing yourself, but also the whole Zellweger Group and the stocks that come with it."

Richard slightly frowned.

The first thing that his mother was worried about when her son fainted was not his health, but how it would affect the group. Other's mother wouldn't do this. 

Mrs. Zellweger did not seem to notice Richard's displeasure. She just said, "Richard, Adriana made this soup for you. It's good for good. Have a try."

"I'm not very hungry," Richard's voice was as cold as ever. 

Adriana's face turned a little pale. 

"Adriana cared so much for you that she worked through the afternoon to make the soup for you. You could at least taste it. Adriana is not even married to you yet. If the Wood family hears about this, they will think that the Zellweger family is treating their daughter-in-law poorly." Mrs. Zellweger said. 

Then she asked the maid to bring a bowl of the soup over to Richard.

The soup looked like it had been stewed for quite some time. Usually, even if he did not have any appetite, he would drink it out of courtesy so as to not embarrass Adriana.

However, ever since the banquet, Richard was reluctant to see Adriana again. He had even reconsidered their engagement.

He didn't touch a drop of it.

Adriana was disappointed and depressed.

Mrs. Zellweger frowned at this. 

She didn't like anyone without grit. To get something you want, you would need to fight for it. 

Then Mrs. Zellweger changed the topic. "Richard, what do you think about Grandma's 80th birthday banquet? Let's have it in the city this year and book the Westin Hotel."

"Grandma hates being elaborate."

Richard obviously liked his grandma more: "Grandma spends her birthdays in the countryside every year. We just need to prepare gifts for her."
