Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 307

It was near Chinese New Year. Heaton gradually grew busier dealing with accumulated work as well as attending social events at the end of the year.

After Verian was discharged from the hospital, Heaton pampered her like a princess for more than half a month. She gained a few pounds compared to the time when she was pregnant.

However, she was not sure whether she was being delusional. Verian somehow felt that Heaton was playing cat and mouse with her recently.

These days, Heaton often came back home tipsy at night. He fell asleep right away while hugging her after coming out of the shower. When Verian wanted to talk to him, he was already deep in slumber.

She felt something wrong going on but could not explain the weird feeling.

Annoyed, she texted Serene.

“Tell me, do you think a husband and wife will get bored of each other after living together for some time?”

Serene had just finished her ward rounds when she received the message. The first thought that came to her mind after reading the message was ‘Heaton’s giving Verian the cold shoulder.’

“No way. You and Heaton just got married. Are you sure he’s already starting to dislike you?”

Verian was left speechless.

The corner of Verian’s lips twitched as she tapped on the screen with her slender fingers. “Did I make it so obvious?”

“So you mean Heaton is already starting to dislike you?”

Serene got all worked up after reading the text. She was abandoned and betrayed by Chainer before, so she knew how Verian felt. Moreover, Verian’s feelings for Heaton were obviously much deeper than hers toward Chainer.

She could get over the fact that Chainer abandoned her in just a few days. However, it was a totally different case between Heaton and Verian.

Verian said, “I just feel it somehow, he hasn’t been in a good mood recently. He comes home tipsy every night. I want to talk to him, but he falls asleep right away.”

“So, how long has it been since both of you have had a proper conversation?”

Verian thought about it and started counting with her fingers before saying, “About four to five days, I guess. The day before yesterday, I woke up early to have breakfast with him but he didn’t talk much either.”

Serene thought it sounded weird. “Is Heaton having a secret affair?”

Verian’s heart sank as Serene mentioned those two words.

Secret affair.

In fact, the idea had flashed across her mind before, but the rational side of her told her that it was impossible.

Women were sensitive creatures, including Verian even though she was slow-witted at times.

It was impossible for her not to feel anything.

That was because… Heaton had not touched her since she started recuperating after the miscarriage.

The most intimate thing he did with her was to hug her, as well as kiss her temple and forehead. He did not even kiss her on the lips recently.

Heaton was a normal man. His need in that aspect had always been normal as well. Before she was pregnant, he wanted sex almost every night.

He controlled himself for the sake of Verian and their child after she was pregnant. Verian knew that he did it out of pity for her.

However, her body had recovered well enough and she was not as weak anymore. It was all thanks to Heaton’s meticulous care.

Since her body had recovered, why…had he not asked for sex?

From her pregnancy to her miscarriage and up until now, it had been quite some time since they had last slept with each other.

Although Verian was a woman, she had her own desires too, especially when it came to the man she loved.

Verian stared at Serene’s chatroom with her. She lost the mood to reply to Serene when she saw the words ‘secret affair’.
