Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth novel Chapter 149

Benson was so angry that he was shaking all over. He glared at August's retreating figure and gnashed his teeth.

"Outrageous! This is too much!"

"Benson, do calm down."

Pauline patted his back comfortingly.

Benson's breathing was laboured as he said angrily, "Gwenda definitely has someone in the Reed family supporting her; otherwise, she would not have had the guts to fall out with me!"

"Alright, do calm down. Don't speak so loudly. It wouldn't look good if someone saw us later."

Pauline lowered her voice and tried to convince him. "Gwenda is just confused. I'm sure that she'll figure things out in a few days."

"Does she look as if she'll figure things out?"

"Well, there's nothing you can do about it, is there? You can't possibly make a scene in front of the madam?"

Upon hearing this, Benson's face became sullen, and he cursed, "What bad luck."

...

At this moment, in the remote corner of the hall, August studied Gwenda and asked, "You alright?"

"What could happen to me?"

Gwenda grinned. "I bet that he wouldn't have hit me in front of so many people, otherwise grandma wouldn't have let him off!"

Snorting, August said, "Honestly, you just know how to act tough. You haven't got the brains. Do you even know how people are talking about you out there?"

He rolled his eyes at her grumpily.

Gwenda shrugged. "They can say whatever they like. Even if I wasn't acting tough, they would still talk about me. Instead of having to deal with that, it's better to just be hostile instead of pretending."

"Sure, you're the most reasonable one here."

August leaned lazily against the wall, glancing at her as she said, "I'm warning you. When we're seated later, grandmother will be there. Bear it if you can, don't ruin it for her."

"I know. Man, you're long-winded."

"Huh? You brat, you dare to find me a nuisance?"

August lightly smacked her on the head.

Clutching her forehead, Gwenda glared at him and hissed. "It hurts!"

"That's good. You might even be able to get some water if you give your brain a good shake."

"How dare you scold me! You're the one whose brain is submerged in water..."

Both cousins fooled around.

Soon, the feast began.

Suzanne sat down, and Gwenda was also led over to sit next to her.
