“Welcome became home, grandson, how was your day today.”“It was so bad grandmother. I almost died at work many times today.”Hearing this, the Old Matriarch directly showed a caring expression before she abruptly glared coldly at Fiona.“Sorry grandson. Of course, I understood what you must have gone through today, but don’t worry, I promise that everything would soon return to normal, don’t worry.”Ethan’s lips Immediately raised slightly, forming an arch when he heard his grandmother’s promise, but he quickly controlled it and thank her.It was at this moment the crowd behind Ethan finally stepped forward to greet the Old Matriarch.“Good evening, grandmother.”“Good evening, grandmother. Hope I met you well?”“Hello, grandmother….”“Grandmother, good….”“Grand….”With each person greeting her, the smile on the Old Matriarch widens, and in no time, she was already grinning from face to face.“Welcome back you***** Looking at the unexpected visitor, everybody became flabbergasted and their mouths became wide open.They had never expected this person at all, and even more what he just said.It took more than five minutes before the Old Matriarch finally realized that she wasn’t just seeing things, then instantly, she became furious and jumped to her feet while pointing hysterically at Rex Magnus, the never expected visitor. “You foolish bastard, what are you doing here? Who invited you, and what nonsense did you just your mouth?”Her voice was so loud that it instantly woke everybody up from their stunned and stupor state, then they also began to mock, curse, and insult Rex Magnus.It was only Fiona that became filled with nervousness.Had it been in the past, she would have honestly tried her best to make Rex Magnus go away, but now that she had he wasn’t an ordinary person, Fiona hesitated for a while before she eventually did nothing, but
****“Let's go home,” Fiona murmured to Rex Magnus.Still smiling brightly, Rex Magnus nodded and happily led his wife away.As for the people left within the huge hall, they didn’t react even after twenty minutes from when Rex Magnus and Fiona were gone.Almost thirty minutes later, a person finally reacted, the Old Matriarch.For some reasons unknown to her, she abruptly felt like she has lost something, but she couldn’t pinpoint the thing.Shutting her eyes slightly for a few seconds, she sat on the comfy chair and heaved a deep sigh, then she picked up the file that was placed on the tabletop and started going through it.At first, she was only doing that reflexively, but as time goes by, her eyes began to widen, and her breathing started quickening.It wasn’t only this. Even her heart began to pound hysterically in her chest and she suddenly began to feel a heart attack, but she held it in.Just as she was about to finish going thro
***** Fiona doesn't go to work on weekends. However, unlike previous weekends where she rarely interacted with Rex Magnus, today is going to be different.Still not knowing, Rex Magnus decided to stay awake despite it being 2 am after he was disturbed awake by the recurring nightmare that had not plagued him for the past three days. Then he left his little room; the store and rushed to do all the house chores he needed to do, which included but not limited to the laundry, taking care of the environment, and cleaning the entire house.But one thing that amazed Rex Magnus from the beginning was his mother-in-law who actually did not make any appearance, not to talk of criticizing him for two consecutive days. Well... This unexpected peace and silence were quite refreshing to him.At 9 am sharp, Fiona who was still in her Pajamas strolled down lazily from her room just when Rex Magnus was rounding up his tasks.Just as her eyes saw the clear view befo
****“Are… are we going now?” Fiona suddenly questioned, instantly startling Rex Magnus and making him raise his head with a dumbfounded expression on his face.“Hun?”“Are… are we going now?” Fiona repeated extremely nervous.“Yes, yes if you don’t mind.”“O… okay, I… I will go… go get dressed.”Before Rex Magnus could respond, Fiona had already jumped to her feet and scurried away like a little rabbit.“Yes!”Rex Magnus Immediately made a victorious gesture, then he also jumped to his feet and cleared where he and his wife just had their meal before he also rushed to his room to get dressed in his signatory shorts, sweat, and sneakers.After he was done, Rex Magnus waited for almost three hours before Fiona who had used more than two hours to deliberate on what to wear finally came down.Seeing her, Rex Magnus' eyes brighten and the helplessness he was feeling when Fiona was taking forever to come down instantly disappeared.
***** “Wow! What a handsome man and beautiful lady!”“See how handsome that man is! He looks exactly like a model.”“What a beautiful couple!”“Wow!”Upon entering the Mall suggested by Fiona, both Rex Magnus and she were instantly flooded with all sorts of praises and envious gazes from both the men and ladies they met on the way.Honestly, this wasn’t the first time the couple was praised like this, for their handsome and beautiful looks.In fact, they’ve already heard it times without numbers to the extent that they had become numb to it. But perhaps, because the praises were meant for them both and not individually, Fiona was blushing so much right now that her face has already turned a deep shade of red while on Rex Magnus’ face, a wide and cocky grin that couldn’t be faked already covered it.Men would always be men.While Rex Magnus was openly accepting all the praises, enviousness, and admiration gazes thrown at them, Fiona w
****‘This… this, am I the one buying cloth or him?’Fiona rolled her eyes helplessly.‘Didn’t my friends from the past used to mention how their boyfriends rarely got involved when shopping for clothes and would instead timidly remain in the background while they accompanied them to look for dresses?’Although she thought like this and has a frustrated look on her face, Fiona couldn’t hide the joy blooming within her right now as she watched her husband, the husband she was utterly tired of some days ago picking dresses for her.After a while, Fiona abruptly sighed softly to herself, her entire being on cloud nine.“Hey wife, what are you doing there?”She was suddenly startled awake by this speechless voice then instantly, she shook her head and walked forward.“Wife, since these charts are already too much to push around, let's leave them here for now and go to the next section of dresses.”The moment Fiona heard Rex Magnus' last stat
***** Inside Fiona's villa, in the living room.Sally could be seen seated quietly on a couch, looking completely lost in her thoughts right now.Like the previous day, it was until Rex Magnus left the house that she finally got the courage to exit her coupe and come downstairs.Even she herself doesn’t know the reason why she was scared of facing Rex Magnus because honestly, she still doesn’t want Rex Magnus to be her son-in-law no matter what.‘That brat, although he was the reason I became the biggest winner amongst my friends, wasn’t his arrogant a little out of this world?’Sally thought for the umpteenth time today.‘That bastard, how dare he even hide the fact that he has a connection with such important people to us that has been feeding, clothing, and sheltering him all these years? No wonder I never liked him before. He’s nothing but a great betrayal,’ Sally thought again, her face also alternating again for the umpteenth time to
**** “What's that doing there?” “Hun?” Fiona became startled and raised an eye at Alan Bottoms. “You don’t know?” “Yes, Aunty.” He responded like someone who was extremely confused. Suddenly, he smacked his head as though he just remembered something. “Those useless attendants. It must be the receipt. Didn’t I tell them I don’t need one? How dare they embarrass me like this?” Sally who heard only the first part of Alan Bottoms' words was already looking at the piece of paper in her hand when suddenly, her eyes widen and her breathing quickened. “One… one and a half million dollars?” …….. “You fool. I will close my eyes now. But before I open them, I want you to be gone, you are fired.” Back inside the boutique where Rex Magnus and his wife were shopping, right now, their surrounding was already crowded with people watching what was going on interestingly. “Miss Amery, please I’m sorry, please don’t fire me, I was… I was only try
