Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 26

“Verian Mont, do you know Zaynie was his son?”

Verian Mont unconsciously clenched her hands.

Nancy Xander's gaze lowered slightly, falling onto her anxiously clenched fists. She smiled and said, “Heaton Fudd… He obviously knew Zaynie was mine and his. His father is a conservative man and both Heaton and I are afraid of agitating him, so we held onto this secret all this while. However, we were always looking for a chance to explain to dad clearly. Heaton always wanted to come clean to his dad, but I do not dare to do so.”

Thus, Heaton Fudd would let her pretend to be his wife, just to deal with Old Man Fudd?

However, if that was the case why would Heaton Fudd suggest marriage earlier?

Nancy Xander observed her expression. She held onto Verian Mont's hands with a soft chuckle. She whispered, “Verian Mont, I've overheard Heaton Fudd's marriage proposal to you early and I feel so guilty. I'm feel so sorry for you.”

Verian Mont looked at her with a puzzled look and said, “Sorry for me?”

“Previously, Heaton brought you home to only provoke me. He said that if I wouldn't back down, he would actually marry you. I know that he still wanted to force me.”

“... ”

Does this mean that she was only a tool to provoke Nancy Xander?!

Even though it was obviously a game of barter, the reason she cooperated with Heaton Fudd was only to get the mansion back. However, she was unsure why her heart felt so much anguish after hearing everything Nancy Xander had said to her.

Nancy Xander spoke in a ‘serious tone’, “Verian Mont, you’re still so young, you can’t waste away your own future like this. It’s not worth it. My matters with Heaton Fudd shouldn’t have gotten you involved.”

As Verian Mont was about to say something, her cellphone rang. The caller’s ID showed that it was from Leafy Bodd.

Nancy Xander was stunned after taking a quick glance at the caller’s ID.

She knew Bodd Yellen?

Since Verian Mont was still with her, she simply held onto her phone without picking it up. Nancy Xander immediately noticed the sign and got up from her seat. She said, “You take care now, I won’t be bothering you.”

Verian Mont only picked up the call after Nancy Xander left.

On the other end, Leafy Bodd asked frantically, “Verian Mont, where are you right now?!”

Verian Mont was stunned and replied, “I’m at the hospital.”

“What? Are you sick?”

“I have a fever.”

“Which hospital are you in? I’ll drop by right now.”

…

After fifteen minutes, Bodd Yellen appeared in Verian Mont’s room.

“Verian Mont, about last night…”

The instant she recalled that chaotic scene from last night, Verian Mont immediately said, “We were both drunk last night. Don’t you worry, I won’t take it to heart. Besides, nothing happened between us.”

Bodd Yellen stared at her slightly pale face. The bottom of her eyes were slightly dimmed. He asked quizically, “Verian Mont, are you actually my uncle’s wife?”

Verian Mont cringed as she was confused and said, “Your uncle? Your uncle is…”

“Heaton Fudd is Guinnie’s and my uncle. Yesterday, it was him that took you out from the bar. He even said that you’re his wife and Little Jelly Bean’s mother. Verian Mont… when exactly did you know my uncle?”

Heaton Fudd was both Guinnie and Bodd Yellen’s uncle?!

This truth was like a bombshell to her, exploding within Verian Mont’s head. She was even more confused.

Her mind was muddled and she was not sure exactly how to explain to Bodd Yellen. She said, “I... Heaton Fudd and I aren’t exactly what you’d imagine.”

Bodd Yellen was even more frantic. He said, “Verian Mont, what exactly is going on with you and my uncle? Did you actually marry him or not?”

“No, nope…”

Bodd Yellen probed deeper, “Then why would my uncle call you his wife?”
