Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 236

On the way back to the villa in Shallow Bay, Verian was still thinking about the fact that James and Sarah knew about her mother.

"Heaton, don't you think that when uncle and aunt saw me, their reactions seemed to be a bit weird?"

If Verian noticed that, Heaton certainly would have noticed as well. However, she was a pregnant woman now, so she should not think too much.

"Perhaps they were surprised, especially after all those years, they were still able to meet their old friend's daughter who's become their nephew's wife."

Verian nodded. "That's true."

Little Jelly Bean, who was lying in Verian's embrace, used her little hands to count the money in the red packet. Her serious little look made her look like a small money grubber.

Verian smiled and asked, "Can Jelly Bean count money?"

Little Jelly Bean nodded, stretched out her little fair hand and said, "Hm! I've been counting during the journey. I’ve finally finished counting. There’re 50 wads of bank notes. Monty, how much money is there for 50 wads of bank notes?"

"50 wads mean 5000 bucks."

"A big doll only costs two wads. So, I can buy many, many dolls with 50 wads!"

Along the way, Heaton listened to the noisy chatter between the adult and child. He felt warmth slip through his heart.

Little Jelly Bean followed Heaton and Verian back to the villa in Shallow Bay. Not long after, she fell asleep on the sofa.

After carrying the little munchkin into the bedroom to let her sleep peacefully, Heaton hugged Verian and asked in a hoarse voice, "Does your hand still hurt?"

"No blistering, and no more pain."

Speaking of this incident, Verian thought of Jane and raised her head to look at him. "Does every sister have such a strong possessive desire toward her brother?"

"Are you jealous?"

She pursed her lips and said, "Although I know that Jane is your sister, I'm still a little unaccustomed to seeing her running toward you to hug you in her pajamas in the morning."

Heaton chuckled lightly and said, "I'm not used to it either."

"But then, you didn't push her away? I see that Mr. Fudd also enjoyed it, right?"

Heaton lowered his head and teased her in her ear, "How can you tell that I was enjoying it? She'd already hugged me, so will it even be useful for me to push her away?"

Verian glared at him.

Heaton asked, "What kind of wedding do you want?"

Verian did not expect him to mention the wedding, and that caught her off guard. "Are we really going to have a wedding?"

He was the president of the Fudd Group. If the wedding was held on a really big scale, it would definitely attract a lot of media attention.

Verian did not like to expose her private life with him to the public.

"Won't you feel neglected if you don't have a wedding?"

"Shall we have a small wedding where we only treat the family members to a meal?"

Heaton's deep eyes stared at her, and said, "But, I want everyone to know that my wife is Verian Mont."

"..."

His sudden intimate words made Verian blushed.

"Moreover, it's time to tell Little Jelly Bean that you're her biological mother."

"Although I've been with Jelly bean for a long time, and she likes me very much, I'm afraid that she won’t be able to accept it all of sudden."

"A child is very receptive to the environment. If we only tell her when she grows up, it won't be good."

Verian also agreed with Heaton's view.

After Little Jelly Bean woke up, Verian brought a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice over. The little munchkin held the juice and drank it happily.

Verian asked, "Is the drink delicious?"

The little munchkin squinted her big eyes. "Hm! Delicious!"

Verian hesitated for a long time, trying to formulate an appropriate sentence to say. "Jelly Bean, if I say that I'm your biological mother, would you be happy?"

"Yes, definitely I’m happy!"

Verian was speechless. "..."

This was unlike what she expected. She thought that Little Jelly Bean would react strongly.

Little Jelly bean pouted and said, "Monty, I don’t think my biological mother can return from the moon anyway. However, since you're already married to my father, you'll be my mother in the future. But, if you have a new baby, will you stop liking me?"

"Of course not! I mean, what if I'm your biological mother who's from the moon?"

"..."

Seeing the little munchkin quietly staring at her, Verian's heart started pumping. Was she unhappy now?

"Jelly Bean, are you able to accept it?"

The little munchkin slammed the glass of juice onto the table and climbed down from the bed. She put on a cold face and said, "Hmph, why did you leave me and daddy after giving birth to me?"

Sure enough, it was still a bit unacceptable for her.

After all, what Little Jelly Bean experienced was that she did not fulfill any of her responsibility as a biological mother.

"At that time, mommy had no choice. Jelly Bean, mommy doesn't know how to explain to you..."

"But, you were wrong to have left me and daddy behind. Hmph, get out! I don’t want to see you anymore!"

Even a child would hold grudges.

Little Jelly Bean pushed Verian out of the bedroom and slammed the door with a thump.

Standing outside the door, Verian felt helpless and frustrated. "Jelly Bean, mommy really didn't mean to leave you on purpose."

Heaton, who came out of the study, walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I told Little Jelly Bean that I'm her mother, but she's angry with me and said that I left her when she was born. She doesn't want to see me now."

The man frowned and knocked on the door. "Jelly Bean, open the door."
