Chapter 58

After that, Xander kept his hands by his sides sulkily and turned to casually look a t Theo. “President

Grant, you and Ms. Lane make a beautiful-looking pair. People who don’t know better, like my mother,

would think the two of you were married! She also said she’d like to have a meal sometime in the future

with the ‘M 1. and Mrs. Grant’!”

Even though I knew Xander had said that on purpose, it did not stop resentment from building up in my

heart. My hands trembled slightly

I stole a glance at Theo and saw that the two deep pools of his cyes were emotionless. He replied

faintly, “Please help me send my regards to President. White and tell her that I will visit her

From Theo’s side, Cindy enthusiastically chimed in. “President White? Is she the designer you

mentioned earlier who was famous worldwide? I thought she was

expanding her empire overseas?”

Wis Lane knows of my mother too? Yes, she usually spends all her time overseas, but since Salt City is

her hometown, she’s been resting at home since she hasn’t felt so well recently.”

I was shocked. Petra White was Xander’s mother?

Anyone in the fashion world or the entertainment world would be familiar with that name.

She was the most famous fashion designer to come out of Veektorla’s Secret Shows, with more than

ten personal fashion shows under her belt. Many international models prided themselves on the

opportunity to walk in her shows. Some female artists had even paid her a handsome sum to design

their clothes.

No one would have expected such a gleaming star to have originated from Salt City, nor would they

have expected Xander Nietzsche to be her son. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

In that case, why was be in the entertainment industry?

Petra White was the second wealthiest

woman in the entire world!

The world of the wealthy was full of unsolvable riddles

Cindy, who had initially been in a foul mood, was suddenly enthusiastically chatting with Xander.

I was slightly irritated by their conversation. I would have got up and left if not for Xander being in my

way.

Lucky for me, the waiters then arrived with our food.

Theo of course took Cindy’s food to pass t o her. His display of gentlemanliness towards her was

impossible to ignore.

Wandy, their prawns are amazing! I’ll peel them for you.” Xander saw what I had seen, and just as

quickly, he was taking my food for me and peeling my prawns too.

Theo’s expression darkened. He took a ladle to pour Cindy a bowl of soup.

I said to Xander, “I can do it myself.”

As if he had not heard me, Xander placed a peeled prawn in my bowl before turning

Theo, “Ms. Reed’s really like appiu your eye, President Grant, for you to be taking such great care of

her.”

Cindy had a sweet smile on her face, looking like she had enjoyed the compliment. Theo looked

straight at me.

I lowered my head, feigning ignorance about everything that was happening around me

As long as I did not take it to heart, it would not hurt me!

I was about to eat the prawn that Xander had peeled for me when an uncomfortable sensation seized

up my abdomen. I instinctively covered my mouth and gestured for Xander to let me

leave

Xander realized that I was about to throw up and got up immediately. He commented, “You’ve only had

a bit of food, and you’re already throwing up. Are you pregnant?”

He might not have meant it seriously and merely wanted to make a flippant joke, but I got so spooked

that I broke out into a cold sweat, the wetness drenching my

1. k. I could not care less about how I looked as I ran to the washroom to relieve myself. I felt better

after puking, but the feeling dissipated when I saw Theo standing at the door, looking coldly at me,

“Erm… Don’t listen to his nonsense. I’m just having some digestive issues… I panicked a little as I

frantically tried to explain myself.

You’ve already done enough, Wanda Lane. Come home with me now,” His tone was demanding and

standoffish. It was essentially an order. 1

I did not know what he meant by that, so as I brushed past him, I said softly, “I don’t need you barging

into my business.”

Don’t you forget that you’re still my lawfully wedded wife.” He reached out and grabbed me tightly

around the wrist, exerting so much force my wrist began to hurt.

I was slightly annoyed. I lifted my frosty gaze and remarked, “I thought I suggested that we let each

other go. Have you considered my suggestion?”

Mea’s cyes suddenly become sharp and ferocious. “Wanda Lane, do you have to act like this?”

“Yes, I have to.” I scoffed. “You’ve given all your love and attention to someone else since we got

married, while you left me to beg for your mercy at home like a sad puppy. I’m done with living life like

this.”

Theo’s expression was stormy. Then, a razor-sharp curve appeared by the edge o f his lips. I knew he

was angry, but I had spöken nothing but the truth, albeit it more bluntly than would have been

expected.

What’s all this about?” he asked abruptly, his tone laced with exasperation.
