In the black Spyker.
Little Jelly Bean was sitting with Zaynie. The two little rascals were playing with a robot cat.
Nancy Xander looked toward that man who was driving at the moment. She said while puckering up her lips, “Say Heaton, don’t you think Verian and Yellen Bodd make a good couple?”
Really?
The man scoffed, “She’s now my wife though.”
“If… it wasn’t for Little Jelly Bean, Heaton, will you still be with Verian Mont?”
Nancy Xander’s gaze was focused onto him. She was desperately hoping for him to deny it as a glint of hope could be seen from the corner of her eyes. Her heart grew anxious.
Heaton Fudd remained silent for a long while. His cold prideful gaze was unchanging as he only replied with a single cold statement, “There is no if, she is mine now.”
Nancy Xander’s eyes twitched as the light in the corner of her eyes faded away completely. Even her heart grew cold.
She would never allow Verian Mont to steal Heaton Fudd away. Since she already lost Briskly Fudd, she could not lose Heaton Fudd too.
…
After dropping Little Jelly Bean and Zaynie off at the kindergarten, Heaton Fudd and Nancy Xander head toward Fudd Group.
The moment Heaton Fudd arrived at the office, Jensen knocked on the door before coming in. He said, “Boss, the dinner with GK Organization’s representatives is at the Peninsula Excursion Hotel in the city.”
The man nodded and with a flash across his dark pearly eyes, he recalled the party Verian Mont mentioned to him last night.
“Go look up where my wife’s part will be at, okay?”
“Alright, I’ll do it immediately.’
…
South Hill Cemetery.
Verian Mont watched the grave tiller bury Grayson Mont’s ashes and sealing the grave with her own two eyes. The tears she was holding back all this while finally fell.
Yellen Bodd raised his arm to give Verian Mont a side hug on her shoulders. He gently patted her and said, “Don’t be sad Verian, uncle who is in heaven will want you to send him off happily.”
Verian Mont smiled through her tears. After kneeling at Grayson Mont’s grave for a long while and bowing her head, she left with Yellen Bodd.
…
When they returned into the city, it was already lunch time.
Yellen Bodd recalled a new Japanese restaurant that had just opened near Fudd Group. It was extremely authentic. He said, “Why don’t I send you back after lunch, Verian?”
Verian Mont thought about returning home now and she would have to eat with Old master Fudd. That old man had a short temper and she did not want to return home to repent for her sins, thus, she nodded and said, “Sure.”
After they arrived at the Japanese restaurant, Yellen Bodd ordered some sashimi and seafood. He then said with a smile, “I recall that you have a sweet tooth. The Matcha Melaleuca in this shop is pretty good.”
As soon as they ordered, Verian Mont heard a familiar female voice.
“Heaton, this Japanese restaurant just recently opened. It’s super authentic.”
Yellen Bodd was surprised as well. As he looked out the door, he saw Nancy Xander walking in with Heaton Fudd.
“Verian, it’s uncle and aunty.”
Verian Mont was completely baffled. Today was truly awful. Even choosing a random restaurant to dine in, she would run into both Nancy Xander and Heaton Fudd.
Heaton Fudd and Nancy Xander who were standing together too had noticed them.
“It’s Verian and Yellen Bodd. Heaton, let’s go say hi together.”
As Heaton Fudd and Nancy Xander approached them, Verian Mont let out an awkward and nervous laugh while greeting them, “Hey, hey!”
Heaton Fudd glared at her as Verian Mont stood up to offer her seat. However, her wrist was grabbed by that man. That man frowned and questioned her, “Where are you going?”
Verian Mont looked at Nancy Xander and said, “I… was offering my seat to you and sister in law.”
Everyone knew about him and Nancy Xander being a couple. She was nothing but his fake wife. Hence, she was not that shameless to attach herself onto him.
