Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 179

They were both lost in their own thoughts throughout the journey.

Upon returning to Shallow Bay, it was unsure whether it was due to her pregnancy as after dinner and before even bedtime, Verian was already feeling slightly drowsy.

Heaton was taking care of some business in the study, and it did not take long after she laid in bed to fall asleep.

When 10pm arrived, Little Jelly Bean was throwing a tantrum as she wanted Verian to read her a bedtime story. The little rascal jumped and leaped about with a nursery storybook in hand. When she arrived at the bedroom, she was stopped by Heaton.

Little Jelly Bean innocently looked up with her tiny face while blinking toward Heaton. She asked in a puzzled tone, “Daddy, I’m gonna look for Monty to have her read me a bedtime story. Why’d you stop me?”

Heaton replied in a soft tone, “Monty is sleeping and it’s not early anymore so you should go to bed too.”

Confused, Little Jelly Bean asked while frowning, “Why did Monty go to bed this early today?”

“Because there’s a baby in Monty’s belly.”

Little Jelly Bean suddenly grew happier. “Daddy, is the baby in Monty’s belly a boy or a girl!”

“It’s still unknown now. Maybe it’s a boy, maybe it’s a girl. However, regarding this, let’s not tell Monty about this for now. Okay?”

“Okay!”

After Heaton convinced Little Jelly Bean to sleep, he returned to the master’s bedroom.

Verian was sleeping on her side. Her tiny face was pressed against the pillow as she slept soundly.

As Heaton approached and sat by her side, he raised his hand and brushed the messy black hair on her pillow. As he had just about to grab his pajamas to take a shower in the washroom, Verian’s phone chimed on the bedside table. The screen lit up as it received a text from the hospital.

Heaton frowned slightly as he clicked it open only to see…

A medical appointment text.

The main body of the text showed it was an abortion procedure scheduled at ten in the morning tomorrow!

Heaton’s dark pearly eyes violently constricted.

As he looked toward the peaceful look on the woman who was sleeping soundly, the rage in his dark pearly eyes gradually sparked.

Verian actually wanted to abort this child!

…

While Verian was dazed from being asleep, she heard splashing sounds coming from the washroom.

Was Heaton taking a shower?

She took a look at the time on her phone. It was already ten-thirty.

She laid in bed and waited for Heaton, but the man who was taking a shower had not come out even when it was eleven.

Verian squeezed her brows as usually whenever Heaton Fudd took a shower everyday, he would often be quicker than regular people. The longest he would take was twenty minutes. Today however, why was he taking such a long shower?

Verian was worried something had happened to him, so she took the covers aside and walked toward the washroom and gave the door a knock. “Heaton? Are you in there?”

The man inside did not respond, and the only reply she could hear was the splashing sounds of water.

Verian frowned harder so she immediately opened the door and entered. The moment she opened the door, Verian called out to him, “Heaton…”

The scene projected into her eyes was Heaton standing in the shower completely naked from head to toe as Verian blushed.

“I-I thought you passed out so I came to check on you. I called out to you earlier, why’d you…”

Her speech grew increasingly frantic as her face was flushed beyond warmth. “Since you’re fine, I’ll head out now.”
