The next day, Verian Mont got up extremely early and prepared a table full of food for breakfast.
As Heaton Fudd led Little Jelly Bean downstairs, Verian Mont immediately got up from the side of the kitchen table and glanced at the father daughter duo that were walking downstairs with a smile.
“I don’t know what Little Jelly Bean enjoy eating for breakfast so I made some random food. Hurry up and eat alright?”
Heaton Fudd took a quick look at the table full of food with an emotionless expression. Little Jelly Bean on the other hand bolted over to her excitedly while staring at the food with her huge eyes. She praised without hesitation, “Whoa! Monty! You’re awesome!”
Verian Mont placed Little Jelly Bean in her booster chair and scooped up a bowl of rice soup before asking, “What would you like to eat, Jelly Bean?”
Little Jelly Bean pointed at some egg buns. “I wanna eat some buns!”
Verian Mont placed the egg buns onto her plate with a pair of chopsticks. The little rascal gleefully ate.
As Heaton Fudd sat down for a meal, Verian Mont handed him a set of dining utensils. Although the man’s charming face seemed cold, he seemed to be enjoying the service. She puckered up her lips and said, “That…”
As soon as she was about to speak her mind, Nancy Xander walked downstairs. Her smile interrupted her statement. She said, “Verian, did you prepare today’s breakfast? It seems pretty lavish.”
Her courage she mustered earlier faded away. She nodded at Nancy Xander before saying, “Morning sister in law.”
“Morning.”
Nancy Xander approached them and sat beside Heaton Fudd naturally. As they ate, Nancy Xander was shamelessly caressing the back of Heaton Fudd’s hand while speaking gently, “Verian, I heard that you’re gonna attend the dinner at GK organization tonight? Your stomach isn’t too well, so drink moderately okay?”
Verian Mont simply sat there alone as if she was an outsider watching them ‘flaunting their love’ while nibbling on her dried toast.
It appeared that Heaton Fudd was occupied tonight, and it was unlikely for him to attend the party with her tonight.
A wave of frustration washed over her heart. She was unsure if it was due to her impending humiliation tonight or the fact that Nancy Xander was intentionally provoking her by pretending to be Heaton Fudd’s wife.
Heaton Fudd stared at the back of his hand that had been caressed by Nancy Xander. His black pearly eyes were cold. He then looked up to focus on Verian Mont and said, “Weren’t you gonna ask me something?”
She was stunned. She bit her lips and replied, “No, nothing.”
She already knew that he would be occupied tonight. If she had mentioned the party with her sisters, she would seem unreasonable.
Besides, he would never agree to it anyway. It would be better if she did not bring it up.
As she was silently sitting by the dining table and eating her breakfast defeated, a loud sound of an engine revving could be heard coming from the front yard.
Looking out the windows into the yard, that sports car that drove into the Fudd’s family mansion’s was the familiar Porsche belonging to Yellen Bodd.
Verian Mont was stunned. What was Yellen Bodd doing in the Fudd’s family Mansion this early?
As she was cautiously glancing toward Heaton Fudd, she noticed the man’s eyes were also coldly staring at her.
What was this man staring at her for? She was not her who invited Yellen Bodd over in the first place.
Although she had a pretty clear and innocent relationship with Yellen Bodd, being stared at directly by Heaton Fudd made her feel guilty.
Nancy Xander was not surprised but instead pretended to be curious. She said, “What is Yellen Bodd doing here? Hey, Verian, I heard that you and Yellen Bodd used to be classmates in Paris National School of Fine Arts right?”
That single question by Nancy Xander turned Heaton Fudd’s entire expression cold as he tossed his cutlery onto the plate, emanating a loud piercing sound.
Verian Mont’s watery eyes had a slight twitch as she looked toward that man. She replied nervously, “Only schoolmates.”
“Verian!”
