President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 654

“I didn’t know until I came here today that prejudice is deeply ingrained and it’s hard to get rid of for some people.”

She paused for a moment. Suddenly she raised her glass and solemnly said to Chad, “Well, I guess I don’t have to try harder. Thank you for saying those nice things about my father. I’ sure he’ll be happy to hear that. As for the other things, well... Time will tell.”

Then she finished her wine in one gulp.

Chad’s frown deepened.

Finally, he sighed deeply.

He also took the glass in front of him and drank it up.

Then he raved, “I know, you’re a good person. Christine…she…”

A mixed feeling came into his eyes as if he had just remembered something. Then he shook his head and said.

“Well, forget it. Enjoy yourselves. I should go check on her. “

Then he got up and leave the table.

The good vibe was ruined. Everyone was in no mood to eat anymore.

Max felt a little regretful that he had listened to Chad’s words and brought Laura here. He thought Laura was shabbily treated today.

He knew Laura said that was not only because of the embarrassment his mother brought her,

but also the mentioning of her mother.

Nothing was more intolerable for children than to see their parents being insulted.

Although what Christine had said today didn’t come straight to the point,

everyone could feel the repugnance and contempt she expressed for Laura’s family.

No dignified person would be able to put up with words and attitudes like that.

After eating in silence, they all left.

Instead of staying at home much longer, Max left with Laura.

On the way home, Max held Laura’s hand as he was driving.

They remained speechless at first.

A quiet atmosphere pervaded the car.

Laura rested one of her hands on the window, with her other hand tucked at her chin.

The cold wind of the winter ruffled the hair on her forehead, which made her look stunningly beautiful.

After a while, Max could no longer resist the temptation.

He said lightly, “It’s cold at night.”

Then he closed the window.

Laura's hands and face were cold because of the wind, but she seemed to enjoy the chilliness.

Because it kept her awake and made her less susceptible to her emotions.

She looked at Max.

“Tell me, why does she hate me?”

It was a doubt which really puzzled her.

Was it because her family was inferior to his? She didn’t deserve to marry him?

She was an A-list actress in the entertainment industry through her own efforts.

Her value, income, or influence was very considerable.

Even if she was not as good as those ladies from rich families, she was definitely qualified to marry Max.

After all, she was only 23.

The future was a long way off. As long as she worked hard, her future would be beyond measure.

Why did Christine hate her? Why didn’t she even give her a chance?
