Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 197

Verian stood at the front porch while carrying the breakfast. She politely asked if Kush wanted to come in for some water. However, it was only natural for Kush to refuse as he immediately shook his hands and said, “I won’t bother the boss and Miss Mont now.”

If he was to enter for a glass of water and his boss saw him later, he would have to be blind to read the situation then!

Verian’s tiny face blushed as she nodded. As Kush was just about to turn around and leave, Verian recalled the thing Heaton refused to tell her. Since she was very curious to know what the whole ordeal was in the night he invited her out.

“Assistant Kush, there’s something I need to ask you.”

“Please do, Miss Mont.”

“Do you know exactly what was the whole ordeal during the night Heaton invited me to the Banyan Tree Hotel?”

Kush teasingly laughed as he said, “Miss Mont, you shouldn’t have stood him up that night. That night, boss had actually intended to propose to Miss Mont.”

…

After Verian was done freshening up and placing the breakfast Kush brought over onto a plate, she fried two extra eggs and warmed up two glasses of milk, placing them on the dining table.

She had just gone out of the kitchen when Heaton woke up. With his long legs, he approached behind her while wrapping his long arms around her waist. He frowned slightly at feeling the slender and thin waist of the woman in his embrace. “Why is your waist still so thin after becoming pregnant?”

He dared not exert any force as if it would be able to snap her in half. She felt soft and slender, making him fall even more in love with her but at the same time, he felt awful for her.

Verian turned around. She accidentally touched his shirt buttons when she raised her arm. “It’s only been more than a month and the doctor said that it’ll take at least four to five months for the pregnancy to be obvious. In some cases, some women don’t even stand out even after being six months pregnant. This is all very normal.”

Heaton lowered his head while staring at her. He then noticed the large breakfast variety on the table. “You woke up this early to prepare me breakfast?”

Verian felt slightly guilty. While chuckling, she said, “I’ve only fried two eggs and warmed two glasses of milk. The rest of the food was brought by Assistant Kush earlier.”

The man did not utter a sound so Verian assumed he was angry and immediately said while holding onto his arm, “I’ll make you breakfast tomorrow morning, okay?”

Heaton raised his hand and gently patted her soft and fluffy long hair, casually replying in a soft tone, “It’s alright. Don’t stress your body unnecessarily when you’re pregnant.”

Was it not his fault for stressing out her body so much?

Verian was speechless.

Verian pouted her lips as it was rare for her to want to express her emotions, but they were all brushed aside by the man.

Heaton entered the washroom to freshen up as Verian followed behind him with gentle footsteps. While Heaton brushed his teeth in front of the sink, Verian hugged his waist from behind.

The woman leaned her tiny face against his broad shoulders while gently calling out to him, “Heaton.”

The only reply she received were the sounds of him brushing his teeth.

Verian gently nuzzled up against him. “The night you invited me over to the Banyan Tree Hotel, were you actually planning to propose to me?”

Although she already knew the truth from Assistant Kush, she wanted to hear it from him.

Heaton spat out the toothpaste foam from his mouth before speaking in a very neutral tone without any emotion, “Nope.”

Upon hearing his denial, Verian puffed up her cheeks and stared at him with her clear eyes. “Assistant Kush has already told me that you were planning to propose to me that night.”

Was he trying to deny the fact now?

After Heaton was done brushing his teeth and freshening up, he pulled her tiny hands away, turned around, and stared at her slightly worried tiny face. He spoke in an especially casual tone, “It’s true that I planned on proposing to you that night but you stood me up, right? So after that moment passed, I no longer have the mood to do so right now.”
