President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 653

“If he hadn’t been desperate to protect my father, he might not have been able to survive the war and live in the south now. And you’re his daughter. I like you already.”

Laura finally caught on that Chad was trying to rebuild her confidence.

She forced a smile and lowered her head slightly, “I see.”

Chad looked at her and sighed.

“After all, she has lost her father, so she has to keep a low profile, even when she’s proud.”

“She can’t always have her own way without a powerful backing, or she’s likely to lose everything.”

He didn’t say much, but led them toward the dining room.

At the moment, the servants had prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Though Christine didn’t like Laura, she didn’t want to ruin the good vibe.

So she was teaching the servants how to set the table nicely.

It was only when they came in that she gave Laura a quick look. Then she made a faint smile.

“Miss Davis, if you don’t mind, come sit on my side.”

Her words surprised everyone.

The dining table was a long marble table.

Christine and Chad were sitting on each side of the table face to face.

Max was sitting next to his father.

And as Max’s wife, Laura should be sitting next to Max.

Now Christine asked Laura to sit with her, but her niece, Rowan was sitting right next to her.

Laura would have to sit next to Rowan, the farthest seat to the center of the table.

Everyone’s face was changed.

Unconsciously, Rowan stood up and said, “Laura, come here…”

She was interrupted by Christine before she finished her sentence.

Christine looked up and glared at Rowan, “What are you doing? Come sit with me before you go back to Pratu in a couple of days.”

Then she looked at Laura with a smile. “I heard you are a considerate woman. When your mother was in Eqitin, she was good at serving people.”

“Oh, right. Your mother took care of me after I gave birth to Max. Rowan isn’t here very often, and she’s just a child. Would you mind sitting next to her and giving her some help?”

Laura’s face darkened.

She clenched her fists under the table.

Everybody knew that Christine tried to make Laura a babysitter.

Perhaps even if she had done what Christine wanted, she would still give Laura a hard time.

And now Christine even mentioned Laura’s mother.

Christine’s words made everyone know that she looked down upon the Davies family. She compared Laura to a servant and thought Max deserved a better wife obviously.

Laura was trembling with anger.

Just then there was a crack.

Max threw his fork down on the table.

Chad frowned, noticing Max’s anger. He said to him, “Max, calm down.”

A mocking laugh was Max’s answer.
