Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 372

Yandel had just laid down when the phone rang.

The caller ID showed Yale's name.

"Hello, second young master. Jean has escaped."

"Mhm." Yandel responded faintly. "I see. Have Sean's affairs been handled?"

"It's done. Sean has been taking drugs for quite some time. He can't come out for at least six months, maybe even up to a year.

"Watch Jean closely."

"Sure."

After hanging up, Yandel looked at his bright cellphone screen. On the screen was a young girl lying sleeping on a table. Her eyelashes were very long and full, looking like small fans. She looked very well-behaved and quiet.

The man sat on the bed and glanced at his phone screen for a long time with his clear, gentle eyes. The corners of his mouth curved up before he went back to bed with his phone.

There laid Xylean’s dress under the pillow.

Over the years, Xylean had always managed to escape him. Within the 365 days in a year, there were probably around 300 days in which they were separated. Yandel's sleep quality was very poor, so he could only fall asleep after putting Xylean's clothes underneath his pillow.

Tonight, although Xylean was not sleeping next to him, his heart felt very warm because of the peck she had given him. His heart felt so good, it was as if he was enjoying the pleasant weather in early spring.

…

Soan Family Mansion.

Looking very embarrassed, Jean went back home. She swore, "I haven't been home these past few days. Why didn't you look for me? You guys are not taking me seriously! I’m the female master here! Yannis has already gotten divorced from Eric. I'm the only female master of this house!"

The servants were scolded until their hearts trembled. Standing there in fear, they did not dare speak.

Eric heard the noise from the study upstairs and came down. "What's with the quarrel?"

As soon as Jean saw Eric, she sneered. "You knew I was in Yandel's hands. Why didn't you call the police?!"

"Call the police? You still want to make a fuss in front of the police after doing all those dirty things?!"

"What dirty things have I done? Eric, I'm your wife! In your heart, do you still favor Yannis—that bitch on the verge of death?"

Looking at Jean's arrogance and ugly behavior, Eric frowned in disgust. "Back then, you sent someone to take away Rainie and made Yannis unable to see her biological daughter for almost 24 years. Jean, is this something a reasonable human being would do? Rainie is also my daughter!"

"Hmph, so now you’ve switch sides. You're the one who agreed to let me be the Soan family’s female master but I had to wait for so many years, looking at you and Yannis having a child after another. Have you ever cared about my feelings? Isn't it pathetic that Sean and I are treated coldly when we aren’t even home?"

Eric had conflicted emotions. Pursing his lips, he said, "It's good that you're back now. Let's talk about some serious business. I don't want to talk to you about the past. No matter if you were right or wrong, I'm not going to hold you accountable."

"What do you mean? What do you want to talk to me about?'' Jean stared at him warily.

"Let’s talk about our divorce..."

The words had barely gotten out of Eric’s mouth when Jean growled, "In your dreams! Eric, I'm telling you! I've sacrificed so many years of my life for you and it isn’t easy for me to get the position of Mrs. Soan. Even if I die, I want to die as Mrs. Soan! You want to mend your relationship with Yannis, huh? You better drop the idea because I won't give way!"

"It has nothing to do with Yannis! Jean, you used to be so understanding. Why have you become so vicious and paranoid now?"

"Understanding? Hmph! Why? Now that you see my true colors, are you thinking that you shouldn't have divorced Yannis?"

Eric's eyebrows furrowed deeper. "Jean, I didn't expect you to become like this. To be honest, since marrying you, you put our family in disarray. There has not been a single peaceful day for us. Can you stop making trouble for me? If you switch your attention to educating Sean, he won't be fooling around now."
