Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1222

Mikey nodded. “Of course.”

That simple answer made Mrs. Brown even happier. After dinner, she grabbed Mona’s hand, her eyes sparkling with mischief. She leaned in and whispered, “When you walk Mikey to his room, remember to make the most of your chance.”

Mona dropped her gaze, her long lashes hiding the swirl of emotion in her eyes. She just gave a soft “hmm” in reply.

Mikey followed Mona up the stairs, the hallway lights behind them stretching their shadows along the wall. When they reached the guest room door, Mona nervously twisted the hem of her dress. “Mikey, do you really want to…”

Before she could finish, Mikey pulled her right into the room.

Downstairs, Reed watched Mrs. Brown’s beaming face and couldn’t help but speak up. “Deanna, you do so much for this family, taking care of everything and even worrying about Mona’s future. I’m always caught up in work. I haven’t really been a good husband or dad.”

Mrs. Brown was caught off guard by his sudden sincerity. She paused, then smiled. “You’re busy with work every day. It’s only right that I help out at home.”

Reed stepped closer, took her hand, and looked at her, his voice warm and meaningful. “Thank you, Deanna. It’s late. Let’s get some rest.”

His intentions couldn’t have been more obvious. Mrs. Brown knew exactly what he was hinting at. But honestly, younger guys were more her type. Reed looked decent enough, and he’d kept himself in shape, but she just didn’t feel that spark. She didn’t like him that way.

She looked up at Reed and forced a smile. “You’ve had a long day, you must be exhausted. Why don’t you call it a night? I don’t know what’s up with me lately, but I’ve been feeling so tired and run down. Maybe I should get checked out at the hospital tomorrow.”

Reed’s face filled with concern. “You’ve been saying you don’t feel well for a while, but the doctors never find anything. You’re probably just worn out from taking care of the house. I already asked the kitchen to make you some ginseng soup. I’m going to the study to finish some paperwork.”
