All Chapters of Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Verian took a long nap while holding Little Jelly Bean. The little munchkin put her little fingers in her mouth, biting them. Her little face was red when she slept and she looked extremely cute.Verian looked at her and smiled gently. She bowed her head and kissed Jelly Bean’s little face. When Verian gently pulled away, Little Jelly Bean murmured to herself and snuggled closer into Verian's arms.Verian did not see Heaton. After taking care of Little Jelly Bean, Verian got out of bed and left the bedroom.When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw Heaton coming out of Old Master Fudd's study."Heaton."She walked over to hold his hand.Heaton said, "I talked to dad about what happened to us.""Then you told him we're not cousins?""Yes, I told him that."Verian finally felt relieved. "Anyway, the DNA paternity test report at that time was too unreliable. I don't know how to get along with uncle and auntie anymore.""I heard that uncle and auntie are going through their div

At the dining table during dinner time.Old Master Fudd sat at the master's seat. Heaton and his family of three were to his right, while Lain and Nancy sat opposite them. "Come on, let's eat."Little Jelly Bean blinked her huge eyes as she picked up her kiddie spoon and chopsticks before she politely said, "Grandpa, you'll eat first. We'll only eat after you've begun."Old Master Fudd chuckled delightfully as he said, "How thoughtful of you, Little Jelly Bean. Let's eat; the food won't taste as good when it's cold."Since Heaton could not see anything, Verian helped him put food on his plate.Lain noticed Verian was using her own chopsticks to get food for Heaton, so she reminded her, "Verian, Heaton has always been a germaphobe. Use a pair of common-use chopsticks to get food for him."Verian was stunned. It was not as if she was unwilling to use the shared chopsticks; she only thought it was too troublesome to do so.As she was about to reach out for the common-use chopstic

Lain made an excuse to leave not long after dinner."I still have an appointment with a patient at my clinic. I'll be off now."Verian stood up and smiled at her. She said, "Well, Dr. Heidy, we won't keep you then. I know you're always busy, so there's no need to drop by our home unnecessarily." No need to drop by unnecessarily…Lain was stunned when she heard those words.There was a subtle change in her expression. She was usually calm, but it seemed like she had lost control when Verian provoked her. Heaton followed Lain when she walked out of the mansion.Verian noticed that they had a conversation when she looked at them through the huge glass window.Lain looked bitter, but Heaton was extremely calm. It did not look like it was a happy conversation. …In the courtyard.Heaton said, "Don't show up in front of Riana again. She doesn't like you."Lain's eyes teared as she stared at Heaton with a mocking gaze. She said, "I can't ever appear in front of her just because

Heaton rushed back to work the next morning. He had delayed many of his projects when he searched for Verian in South City. It was a time-consuming job, especially with his lack of eyesight. The man headed straight to his office after he had a few bites with Verian and Little Jelly Bean. The child said with a frown, "Monty, Daddy is so busy. I thought about asking him to take me to the zoo this weekend!"Verian smiled as she helped the little rascal crack her egg. She said, "Daddy might be busy this weekend. Why don't I take you instead?""Alright." Little Jelly Bean beamed; stars seemed to glimmer in her huge eyes. She looked too adorable.Verian removed the egg yolk and left the egg white for Little Jelly Bean. She said, "Why are you such a picky eater like your dad?"It would be so much easier to take care of her if Little Jelly Bean was like her. Verian would eat anything but green peppers because she was allergic to it.Little Jelly Bean nibbled on the egg white and said, "

"Madam Fudd, are you here to check up on me today?"Heaton hugged her waist with his long arms as he stared at her seductively.Even though the man was blind, Verian could see that dim glimmer in his eyes. She felt slightly bashful."You're overthinking it. I was having lunch with my high school classmate. We passed by here, so I thought I'd visit you. However, it seems my visit has interrupted your little excursion."Her tone grew increasingly furious as she spoke.The subtle smile in the corners of Heaton's eyes deepened as he said, "If you don't like her, I can get Kush to fire her later."Verian scoffed as she said, "You're making it as if I'm a literal tigress. Since when do I get jealous?"Heaton inched closer to her face as he spoke in an attractive, deep voice, "Madam Fudd, my stomach hurts from the spice.""What? A single red pepper can trigger your gastric problem? Your stomach cannot be this weak, right?""So, how do you plan to make it up to me?" Heaton's warm brea

"Don't you only have a few friends because you stay at home all day? Since it's a high school reunion, why wouldn't you want to go? You can catch up with your old classmates."Verian beamed at him as she stared intensely at him with her watery eyes. She said, "Heaton, you've changed. I thought you wouldn't like it if I were to attend the reunion."Heaton reached out to touch her flat stomach. Then he lowered his head to kiss her forehead. He whispered, "When your belly gets bigger, I might not allow you to wander off. So, seize this opportunity to have some fun."Verian snorted as she laughed out loud. She asked, "Will you keep me locked away like some national treasure when my belly gets bigger?""If you don't mind, of course, I'd be willing to do so…"The man stood by the door as his lips shifted from her forehead to the tip of her nose. When he was just about to kiss her lips, Verian gently pushed him away. She was blushing."Little Jelly Bean is in the living room."Heaton s

Verian was frozen to the spot. Her back felt stiff. However, it was not because she heard Gerome's name. It was because everyone in the room had turned around to look at her. She immediately felt embarrassed.Gerome's gaze also landed on Verian."Verian?"Gerome got up and walked toward her. He pulled a chair for her like a gentleman and said, "Long time no see. You've grown prettier."Verian's mind was a mess, but she cracked a polite smile and said, "Long time no see.""Oh, it seems like Gerome still misses Verian!"Verian blushed. She was not ashamed, but she felt embarrassed.However, Gerome felt indifferent since he was used to those friendly teases between friends, and he knew that they meant well. So, he switched seats with the person next to him to sit next to Verian.Since the room was crowded with people and loud, Gerome did not rush to catch up with Verian.There were many male classmates in the room, but some still had not arrived yet. Many of them had begun to s

Just as Gerome was just about to drink his wine, Chelsea chuckled as she teased him. "Oh, Gerome, what relationship do you have with our dear Verian? We can't just drink for anyone, you know."Gerome was stunned by that question. He froze as he clutched his wine glass.Verian stood up with her juice. She had a calm smile on her face as she said, "Please forgive me. I am currently pregnant, so I can't have any wine. I'll drink my juice instead."Everyone was stunned. Even Chelsea did not expect Verian to be pregnant.After Verian drank her juice, Chelsea glanced at Gerome and said, "Verian, I remembered that you had a crush on Gerome back in high school. How are you suddenly pregnant now? Are you lying to get out of drinking?"Verian was agitated. She showed off her right hand and beamed with joy as she said, "I'm already married, and I'm not lying to you guys. My husband dropped me off tonight."Verian had a smug look on her face when she brought up Heaton, but she looked delight

Verian felt that Heaton had drawn way too much attention to himself. She tugged on his arm and softly said, "Let's go."However, Heaton did not seem to be in a hurry to leave. He said, "Why are you in such a rush? Where's your first love?"Verian felt the goosebumps all over her back. She felt terrified, even though the man had a smile on his face.Gerome went to them and said, "Hello, I am Gerome Tanner, Verian's classmate back in high school. I'm actually quite curious about you. I am envious that you could marry such an amazing woman like Verian."The corners of Verian's mouth twitched. It seemed Gerome went a little too overboard in praising her.Heaton grinned and said, "Really? What exactly did Madam Fudd say to you to make you feel so intrigued about me?"Gerome was stunned. He did not expect Heaton to be that blunt. He chuckled and said, "Nothing. I noticed how happy and delighted Verian felt when she talked about you. I always thought that Verian would be a career woman,

The atmosphere in the car felt odd.It was rare for Heaton to be so candid with a stranger."You're not young anymore, and there are plenty of women that I know are worthy of you, Gerome. If you are interested, I can introduce some of them to you."Gerome was startled by his attention. He smiled and said, "I am grateful for your kind gesture, President Fudd. However, work is my main focus now. I'll just wait for a few more years."Heaton smiled and did not say anything else after that.Verian reached out and pinched his arm discreetly.Had the man taken the wrong medicine that night?Gerome did not expect Heaton to be so friendly. He paid attention to the economy and the stock market. He noticed Heaton had appeared quite frequently in the economic news, and he could guess that Heaton was a ruthless and cold person. However, after he spent some time with him, he discovered that he was quite friendly.Hence, Gerome continued to talk to him. "President Fudd, forgive my bluntness,
