Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 158

"They? There are others besides Mr. Lucas?" Verian took the opportunity to change the subject and asked with her dainty hands around his neck.

Heaton squeezed her slender waist. "Zander and Jinn made it up."

Verian blushed, clenching her fist as she punched his shoulder and said in a playfully displeased manner, "Why are they calling me little lion? Do you often tell them that I have a bad temper?"

Lions, were they not the kind that would blow up easily when they got angry?

The man raised his big, well-knotted hand to follow her hair as he said in a low voice, "I think that lion cubs are quite cute, so I let them address you as such."

Cute?

Verian seemed to have discovered the New World. It was the first time she had heard the word "cute" come from Heaton's mouth. The roots of her ears went red. "Then did you name the puppy Little Lion on purpose?"

The man snorted. "When we hugged him back, he almost bit me after a few teases. If it’s not a Little Lion, then what is it?"

Verian chuckled. "Then this puppy has really fat courage. It’s not afraid of you killing it!"

"Isn't she so unscrupulous because she thinks that I won't do anything to her?"

When he said this, Heaton stared at her with burning eyes. Verian's heart clogged as the smile on her face suddenly stiffened.

His words were talking about a puppy, but why did she inexplicably hear him talking about her?

What did Heaton's pun mean? Did he already suspect her?

Since he had not made it clear, Verian also pretended to be stupid, grabbing his hand as she opened her mouth and pressed it lightly on his finger before bitting it. She left a row of imprints, deliberately laughing as she said, "You said that it’s a Little Lion, its guts sure are fat!"

Heaton looked down at the neat row of imprints on his fingers. Verian thought that he was angry and was about to tilt her head to see his lowered handsome face. Unexpectedly, she was caught in her arms by him.

Heaton kissed her lips fiercely.

Verian blushed and her heart beat fast. There was nowhere to put her dainty hands. Heaton grasped them and put them on his neck. It was not until Verian's lips were red and swollen by the kiss that Heaton let her go.

"Why did you suddenly kiss me?"

His thin lips were still lightly pressed against her lips. The man's black eyes gloomily stared at her lips, red from the kiss, and said in a hoarse voice, "The Little Lion bit me and I can't bite back?"

Verian's face went red!

He spoke so calmly as if what he said were not words of love, so why did her heart burst like chocolate?

...

Heaton had half an hour before he could get off work, so Verian sat on the sofa next to him, playing with her cellphone while waiting for Heaton so they could leave work together.

Her cellphone rang. It was a call from Yanni. She quickly hung up and did not answer it.

Yanni must have called to urge her to steal the chip.

Thinking of this, she felt agitated in her heart.

She raised her head to look at Heaton, the emotions in her heart turning complicated.

If one day Heaton knew that she had been lying to him, would he hate her?

However, so what if he hated her? She hated him for forcing her father to death, right?

She could only calculate with her heart toward him, but she could not sincerely give him her heart.

...

After Heaton got off work, Verian went to the kindergarten with him to pick up Little Jelly Bean before they went back to the Swallow Bay villa.

Kush took Little Lion from the Fudd Family Mansion. As soon as Little Jelly Bean entered the house, she saw Little Lion jumping around and it could not be mentioned how happy she was. She ran over and played with Little Lion on the sofa.

"Dad, Little Lion seems to be thinner! Let's keep Little Lion here and let it live with us! I will take good care of Little Lion!"

Heaton had no objections and answered softly.

Verian Mont walked over. "Little Jelly Bean, do you like puppies?"
