Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 364

After having lunch in the Guant mansion, Yandel suggested that Verian bring Heaton to visit Madam Guant so she could see him. This was meant for Madam Guant to be rest assured that the daughter she missed for more than 20 years already had a good partner.

Reaching the hospital, Heaton and Verian walked into the ward together.

Madam Guant had just finished a round of chemotherapy so her face was haggard. Her body was very skinny until her bones poked out from underneath her skin. However, it was obvious that she must have been an absolute beauty when she was young.

"Rainie, this is..."

Verian smiled and said, "Madam Guant, this is my husband, Heaton Fudd."

Madam Guant did not seem to expect her daughter to be married. Surprise flashed across her eyes. "So you're married."

"Yes, Madam Guant. I've been married to Heaton for almost a year."

Heaton nodded toward Madam Guant politely. "Madam Guant, hello."

"You two better come here quickly and sit down."

Heaton followed Verian to sit down. Madam Guant took Verian's hand and said, "Rainie, I know I’m unqualified to be a mother. You’ve been taken away from birth and away from me for more than 20 years. Now, you’re married and have a new family. Mom has been absent for all the most important events in your life. I’m really sorry about that."

"Madam Guant, I'm doing well now and Heaton is also very kind to me. Don't blame yourself anymore. The past is the past. I really don't blame you. The most important thing for you now is to get well."

Madam Guant smiled kindly. "Okay, as long as you're happy."

Verian was still a little curious about her background and what had happened back then, so she asked, "Madam Guant, back then... How did I get taken away?"

Madam Guant sighed and recalled the past. "When I was young, I met your father, Eric, at a social engagement. After knowing each other, Eric had been pursuing me and I was also impressed by his romantic side and thoughtfulness. Because of that, I married him. At that time, his family's company became short of capital. My father loved me very much, so he helped the Soan Group through the difficulties. Soon after our marriage, I gave birth to a son. The son was your brother, Yandel. At that time, I thought I was the happiest woman in the world. But when I was pregnant with you, I realized your father had another woman out there."

"Later, I learned that everything was a scam. At the beginning, Eric married me merely because he wanted to form a partnership with the Guant family to help his family through their difficult times. He never cut off his connection with his lover, Jean Weil. He even planned to partner with Jean to plot against me. I was so blind to this and I married him. After I knew all this, I couldn’t bear it. A short while later, I divorced him. After returning to my parents’ house, I focused on caring for the baby in my stomach. I wanted to completely draw a line between me with Eric and Jean, but during my pregnancy, Jean provoked me many times. When I gave birth, she secretly sent someone to take you away. I almost fell into a state of depression because of this incident. Rainie, mom really misses you very much."

Verian could only imagine how heartbroken and discouraged Madam Guant was.

"But... Why did Jean do this? Obviously, she and Eric were wrong."

Madam Guant snorted coldly. "Jean thought that my appearance had caused her to be a mistress who could not be seen in the public. However, she must have also thought it through—if Eric really loved her, would he choose to marry me simply due to their financial difficulties? After all, Eric was always far too selfish. He'd always consider himself only."

Verian was a little angry. "How could Eric be like this?! He deceived you first. How could he plot against you with Jean?!"

Heaton saw that the mother and daughter were fervently engaged in conversation. Since it had taken them more than 20 years to meet, he wanted to leave the room for them to talk some more. He told Verian, "I'll go outside for a smoke."

Verian could not help but remind him, "Smoke less, please."

Heaton faintly responded and patted her waist with his big hand. He said, "You go and talk more to Madam Guant."
