Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 501

As they talked about being fat, they heard a knock on the door.

"Sir, Madam, it's time for dinner. The old master would like you to go down now."

"Right away."

Heaton glanced at Verian before he said, "I am willing to wait after you've slimmed down, but you'll have to convince the old man."

Old Master Fudd was more than willing to hold the wedding the next day if he could keep everyone quiet. When they had a full moon celebration for Little Jelly Bean's brother, he got along well with Verian's mother, Yannis. Both families were friendly with each other, and they were quite keen to make the preparations for the wedding.

It was not as if Verian was unwilling to hold a wedding, but she had just finished her month-long confinement, so she was not in her best shape. She would not look her best if she wore the wedding dress then. Every woman would want recognition, and they would often do their best to lose weight before their wedding to look their best that day.

The old man brought up the topic again during dinner.

"So, what have you guys decided regarding the wedding? Just get it done, so I have an answer for our in-laws. They might think we're mistreating Verian."

Verian frantically said, "Dad, it's fine. Heaton and I have been very busy recently, and I'll talk to my mom. She won't mind."

The old man nagged, "Oh, Heaton, Verian. Could you not say that I always nag at you guys? You already have two children, and if we didn't hold a wedding, I wouldn't be able to keep my pride. If you guys don't want to plan it, I can have someone else do it for you. All you have to do is dress up and stand there. It will not trouble you."

Verian glared at Heaton as she munched on a piece of broccoli.

Heaton then said, "Dad, Riana had just done her confinement, and her body hasn't fully recovered yet. She wants to slim down a little more before she has to wear her dress. Let's allow her some time to recover."

The moment the old man heard that, he assessed Verian with a frown. "No way. You're not fat at all. You look perfect! Come on, you were too skinny before, and now, you look significantly better."

Verian blushed at the old master's comments. "Dad, I am feeling quite fat now, and I think I won't be able to fit into a wedding dress…"

"Aren't all wedding dresses specially made? We can get one specially fitted for you."

Little Jelly Bean grabbed a piece of rib with her tiny hands as she glanced back and forth at the adults before she told Old Master Fudd, "Grandpa, Monty is really fat now, and she won't look good in a wedding dress."

Verian was speechless.

Even though Little Jelly Bean spoke the truth, that comment was way too blunt, and it hurt.

Verian did not eat more than a few bites during dinner. She only ate two spoonfuls of rice and a couple of broccoli.

When Verian left the dinner table, Old Master Fudd glanced at Verian's unfinished food. "What's the matter? Is she unhappy with me because I push for the wedding?"

Heaton calmly replied, "A diet, perhaps."

After dinner, Heaton called Little Jelly Bean to him.

There was still a single rice grain on the edge of Little Jelly Bean's mouth. After Heaton wiped the rice grain away with his hand, he lectured, "You're not allowed to call Monty fat again next time."

Little Jelly Bean frowned and said, "But Daddy, I was only helping Monty. Grandpa was nagging you guys to have the wedding done, so I just wanted to help Monty delay the whole thing to give her time to lose weight."

"You're not allowed to say that again next time."

Little Jelly Bean pouted and said, "Alright then. But Monty really is fat."

Heaton was worried, so he told her again, "You're not allowed to use the word 'fat' as long as Monty hasn't slimmed down. Do you understand?"

Little Jelly Bean blinked her eyes repeatedly.
