Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 417

The next morning, Heaton finally gave in to Verian’s request and allowed her to go to South City to visit Madam Gaunt.

However, Heaton personally escorted her all the way to South City and after staying a night there, he took a flight back to North City the next day for work.

It was around six in the evening when Verian arrived at the Gaunt family mansion.

Both Yandel and Madam Gaunt were in the house. The moment Heaton and Verian stepped into the house, Madam Gaunt hugged Verian in excitement.

“Riana, why didn’t you tell me that you’re coming to South City? You should have notified me and I would have asked your brother to pick you up.”

Verian glanced at Heaton and her lips curled up into a light smile. “I wanted to give you a surprise. Besides, Heaton was busy with work, so he escorted me here today and will return to North City tomorrow morning.”

Madam Gaunt was stunned upon hearing that and gently patted Heaton’s arms, feeling sorry for him. “You must be exhausted, Little Fudd. Quick, put down your luggage, wash your hands, and get ready for dinner.”

When everyone was seated at the dining table, there was no sight of Xylean. Because of this, Verian asked out of curiosity. “Brother, where’s Leannie?”

Yandel’s face darkened for a second. “She’s staying in school now.”

“School? Leannie went back to school again?”

“Yes,” Yandel muttered impassively. He then continued, “She wanted to finish the remaining classes that she missed previously.”

As Yandel mentioned Xylean, Madam Gaunt did not feel good and quickly diverted the topic. With a smile on her face, she looked at Heaton. “Little Fudd, since you’re busy with your work and can’t take leave, why don’t you ask Yandel to send someone over to pick Riana from the airport? You have to go back to work tomorrow morning and your schedule is too tight and rushed. I’m worried that your body won’t be able to handle it.”

“It’s all right. I don’t feel comfortable letting Riana come here alone.”

Verian glanced at him affectionately. “Mom, he’ll be alright.”

…

At night, Heaton and Verian shared the same room, specially arranged by Madam Gaunt.

After taking a shower, Verian donned her sleepwear and walked to Heaton.

“Heaton, what time are you leaving tomorrow?”

Heaton gently pulled her onto his lap. “You want to chase me away, huh?”

Verian wrapped her arms around his neck and waggled her legs in the air. She beamed a warm smile at him. “I’m gonna stay for a few more days in South City. Madam Gaunt just had her surgery and wish to accompany her more. You shall go home and get your work done. Take good care of Little Jelly Bean too, alright?”

‘She seldom acts coquettishly and only does it when she has a request, huh?’

Heaton huffed lightly, feeling unhappy about her decision. As he glanced at the huge suitcase Verian had brought over, he raised his brows. “Since you packed so many things in your luggage, I suppose you want to stay in South City for quite some time.”

Verian burst into laughter. She then gazed at him with her watery eyes. “Are you angry?”

Heaton took a deep breath and leaned his forehead against hers. He then nuzzled her petite nose and sighed. “How long do you want to stay here?”

“Half a month?”

“A week.”

“... Ten days?”

“Three days.”

Verian grumbled. “Why are the days become less as we talk about this!”

Heaton huffed coldly. He then carried her and put her on the bed. While taking off his necktie, he said, “One week and that’s it. If you continue bargaining with me, I’ll kidnap you back to North City.”

“... Bandit!”

Verian grabbed the necktie he removed and threw it at him. However, the man had turned around and went to the bathroom to shower.

…

At midnight while Verian was sleeping, she vaguely felt someone taking off her clothes.

She huffed indistinctly and pushed the man away weakly.

“I’m sleepy… I don’t want…”

What’s more, she was pregnant and could not have sex.

The man lowered his head and planted a kiss on her lips. He then whispered in a husky voice, “Just sleep, I won’t touch you.”

Verian muttered an “okay” and continued sleeping. She had no idea what he was doing.
