Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 235

James smiled. "You guys are making a fuss now. Are you going to let us play chess?"

Jane pursed her lips. "I'll go cut some fruits and bring some drinks for you."

When Jane brought over two cups of hot tea out of the kitchen, she saw Verian leaning on Heaton’s shoulder and gave him a sweet smile. She did not know what they talked about to each other, but Heaton also curved his lips and smiled. Anger grew in Jane's heart. She brought a cup of hot tea to Verian and said in a strange tone, "Sister-in-law, please have some tea!"

"Thank you."

As Verian was about to take the cup, Jane suddenly let go of it. The cup of tea that was boiling hot splashed onto the back of Verian's hand. The tea cup dropped on the floor and broke into pieces.

Verian exclaimed in pain, and Heaton quickly checked her hand. "Did it burn you?"

On the back of her fair hand, redness appeared in a flash. Heaton hurriedly hugged her and brought her over to the sink to rinse her hand with cold water.

Jane faked her kindness and came to ask about her condition, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Heaton gave her a fierce glance, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Jane, keep your childlike temper to yourself!"

Verian pulled Heaton's sleeve, wanting to calm the atmosphere. "It's okay. She wouldn’t have purposely done that..."

Before her words could finish, Jane said in grievance, "Yeah, I did it on purpose! So what? I burned her with boiling water, and now are you going to burn me to avenge her?"

Unexpectedly, Heaton relentlessly replied, "This is your house. Hence, I'll give you face. If we were somewhere else, I'll surely do it!"

Jane was so angry that her eyes instantly turned red. She bit her lips hard and ran back to her room.

Verian stood beside the tap to rinse her hand in cold water. She sighed, "Are you being too aggressive with her? She really seems to have been hurt. Should you comfort her?"

Anyway, Jane was Heaton's biological cousin’s sister. Verian did not want Heaton to have a difficult relationship with his relatives. If Heaton was sandwiched in the middle of them, it would be difficult for him to be an upright man.

The man's throat bobbed for a while. Then, his anger was suppressed, as he said coldly, "She's not a child anymore. I should let her reflect on herself."

After rinsing her hand with cold water for a long time, Verian finally checked her hand. Heaton held her hand and carefully looked at the redness. He frowned. "Is it still painful?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. It won’t blister if we put some medicine on it later."

Heaton held her hand. "Hm. Let's go and apply some medicine."

Verian felt that it was very sweet of him to protect her like this.

Sarah took an ointment that was specially made for burns and came over. She handed it to Heaton. "Oh no, I'm really sorry. Riana, Jane is spoiled by me. Please do not get angry with her."

"Aunt, I won't."

"It's good then. What's more is that Jane has a really good relationship with Heaton. Thus, maybe she couldn't accept the fact about Heaton's marriage yet. She's like a sister who always hopes for her brother to dote on her. All of a sudden, when she saw her brother dote on another woman more, her heart must be a little hurt. She'll be better in a few days. It's good that you don't hold grudges against her."

Verian nodded and said, "It's nothing, Aunt. I can understand."

"Then, Heaton, you apply the ointment for Riana carefully. I'll go upstairs to see Janny."

After saying this, Sarah went upstairs to Jane's room.

Heaton helped Verian apply the ointment, and Little Jelly Bean leaned her little body against the sofa. She pouted her small mouth to blow onto Verian’s wound. "Monty, after blowing, you won't feel the pain anymore!"

Her heart was warmed as if there was a small stove. "Hm. Monty doesn't feel the pain."

This pair of father and daughter both protected and cared for her so much. She only felt that this injury was not in vain and even enjoyed the protection from them when she was injured.

After applying the ointment, Heaton held her hand and brought her hand to his thin lips to kiss it. Verian's ears became red. "Jelly Bean is still here."

Little Jelly Bean also approached them and gave her a kiss. The family of three was having a happy moment in the living room.
