“President Fudd, please watch yourself!”Heaton stared at her flushed face tinged with anger with an indifferent gaze. He lowered his head, bringing his head next to her ear. Then, he started to speak unhurriedly, “Miss Mont said that I’m a businessman. Businessmen seek nothing but profits; we don’t trade at a loss. What do you have that is worth enough to be exchanged with the villa?”His deep voice was cold and thin. His fathomless dark eyes stared straight at her side face. He spoke the words
‘The envelope should be holding hair samples both from the woman and Little Jelly Bean...”Nancy went into the office. “This is the final draft. Take a look, if there’s no problem, sign it.”Heaton took over the document, glanced through it, picked up his black pen and signed his name with a flourish.She took a deep breath. Unable to hold back herself, she asked, “I saw Zander and a few people busy interviewing girls since this morning to find you a wife. Are you sure you want to hire a wife? H
Verian heaved a sigh and sat down beside Little Jelly Bean. She looked at her and said, “Your name is Little Jelly Bean, am I right?”The little munchkin frowned and glared at her. “Did the principal tell you my name?”“You’re so cute and you have such a nice name. Why are you fighting with the other kids?”Little Jelly Bean crossed her arms. “Hmphh! They all said that I’m a liar! Jelly Bean doesn’t lie! They don’t want to play with me; I don’t want to play with them too!”The little munchkin tu
The little munchkin nodded her head seriously. “Yes!”The principal walked over to them with a faint smile and said, “It looks like Teacher Mont had settled the issue.”“So, did I pass the interview, principal?”“Of course. You may start an art class with the children if you’re free this afternoon.”…Verian got along very well with the children. Probably because she gave birth to a kid three years ago, she had the patience and was very affectionate when it came to dealing with the group of chil
The Maybach disappeared in a cloud of dust. Heaton’s cold gaze was fixated on the diminishing figure in the rear-view mirror.The little munchkin sitting next to him climbed onto his lap mischievously. Her tender and fair hands held her father. “Daddy, why can’t Monty join us for dinner?”Heaton lowered his eyes. He caressed his daughter’s head with his big hands and patiently asked, “Jelly Bean, you really like Monty that much?”“Yes!” The little munchkin blinked her dewy eyes and nodded her he
“Auntie, are you okay?”Jensen rushed out from the villa, expressing concern to his ‘mother-in-law’. Verian cast an emotionless glare at him. Carrying the portrait, she strode out of the villa.Jensen caught up to her before she walked out of the Navy Road area. He grabbed her wrist and asked, “Why did you come back?”She scoffed. “Why can’t I come back?! Jensen! Stop disgusting me!”Forcefully, she tugged her wrist out from his hands. Her bloodshot eyes glared at him in anger, just like an anim
Hah, she was surely a bold one. There were tones of women who wanted to sleep with Heaton in North City. There were also countless women who wanted to be his mistress. However, Verian was the first who had the audacity to say that she wants to become Mrs. Fudd. Where did her confidence come from?“It is true that I’m lacking a wife. However, there are many outstanding women who want to be my wife. What rights do you have to negotiate with me, let alone make a deal with me?”Verian spoke up just when Heaton was about to hang up. “Seeing how you conducted an interview to look for a wife, it seems like your family is pressuring you to get married. I can accept a fake marriage. I would not bother you after the marriage.”A fake marriage?Expressionless, Heaton’s lips twitched slightly. ‘This woman is quite an interesting one.’Verian tried to hold in her nervousness and spoke up again when she did not hear Heaton’s response. “If you marry another woman, she might be very clingy even thoug
Verian’s eyes trembled. Her gaze was fixed on the painting that was titled ‘A Family of Three’.“Jelly Bean, do you feel lonely?”The little munchkin cupped her face as her big black eyes sparkled. She nodded her head seriously and said miserably, “Yes! Jelly Bean doesn’t have any friends and mummy doesn’t visit me because she’s on Mars! Cherry’s mummy does beautiful braids for her every day and I want a mummy to help me braid my hair too!”Verian could not help but smile. She lifted her hands t
