Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280 The Strange Atmosphere in the Frey Family

Gerald did not know what had happened on the distant island. After one entered Sin City, he would completely lose contact with the outside world. The conditions to come out of Sin City were also quite harsh.

Since Gerald had nothing to do, he watched the television for the entire afternoon in the living room of his home. Leana slept for the entire afternoon. She was still asleep until 5:30 p.m.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Gerald glanced at the room where Leana was sleeping and frowned.

Gerald wrote a note and placed it on the coffee table. It read, “I’m going out. Go find something to

eat when you wake up.”

After that, Gerald went to the garage and drove to Arthur’s house.

After arriving at Arthur’s house, Monica ran over and hugged Gerald.

Monica seemed to like Gerald very much. In her memory, Gerald was like a super hero, and that scene had been deeply engraved in her mind.

“Gerald, you said that you would play with me when you were free, but for so many days, you never even contacted me. You don’t reply to the messages I send you either,” Monica pouted and said.

Gerald rubbed Monica’s head and said, “I’ve been busy recently.”

Monica looked into the room with great care and asked, “Are you on a mission?”

“Yes,” Gerald nodded and said, “you have to keep it a secret. Let’s go in and meet your parents.”

“Okay!” Monica took Gerald’s hand and led him to the villa.

In the villa hall, Colby was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. Arthur was sitting on the side with a book and a pair of glasses. He was reading the book.

In addition, there was a well–maintained woman. She glanced at Gerald. She obviously knew that Gerald would come in the evening. However, when she saw Monica holding Gerald’s hand, she frowned slightly and said, “Monica, you are sixteen years old now. You are already a big girl. How can you be so close to a boy so casually? Come and sit down.”

“I see.” Monica pouted and let go of Gerald’s hand.

This woman was the mother of Monica and Colby.

Although the woman was old, she was still quite beautiful.

Obviously, she was a relatively strict person, especially in terms of teaching children.

Gerald could not help but glance at Colby beside him.

Gerald did not know how Colby became one member of the Washington Great Four.

At this time, Arthur closed the book and said with a smile, “Gerald, you are here! The food is ready.

Let’s go to dinner.”

The five of them sat down at the table.

When they reached the dining table, Arthur handed Gerald a box and said, “This is what you want. By the way, since you will stay in Washington, you can come to our house more often. Monica often

remembers you in our talks.”

“That’s right. Our house is quite big anyway. Gerald, why don’t you live in our house in the future?” Monica said quickly.

Gerald shook his head and said, “It’s not convenient for me to live here.”

The woman had always been unsmiling. When she heard their conversation, she raised her head and looked coldly at Arthur and Monica. Arthur trembled instinctively and then stopped talking

about this matter.

Gerald felt it was somewhat funny.

Arthur, in Washington and even in the whole country, was the top entrepreneur. But now it seemed

that Arthur seemed to be henpecked.
