Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal
The atmosphere in the Reed family villa was oppressively tense. Everyone could see that Nathan had been in a foul mood ever since they returned from the concert. He had made an agreement with Sophia to go look for Emily, only to see her hurrying off in another direction, seemingly eager to find someone. Nathan immediately went after her but was stopped by some media reporters who asked him a bunch of questions. As the CEO of the Reed Group, he had to maintain a good image in front of the media. He had just announced his wedding plans with Sophia and couldn’t afford to be seen with Emily, as it would damage his reputation. He had no choice but to stop, keep smiling, and deal with the reporters' questions, talking about how much he and Sophia were in love and how pleased her stepfather was with him. While his face wore a smile, his heart was burning with anger. These reporters were deliberately sent by Sophia! They were really annoying. By the time he finally got rid of the media, the concert had ended, and Emily had already left. Now, at the Reed villa, they were having dinner. Carol and Grace were talking. Carol said, "I’m not very good at cooking; these dishes are all takeout. Try them. Do you like them?" Grace smiled. She couldn't fall out with Carol, so she kept smiling, "How could I not like it? I’ve lived in Europe for several years, and what I miss the most is the food from home. I really envy you. You have such an outstanding son. Not only does he manage the company well, but he also hired many servants for you to make your life comfortable." Carol was very proud of this. She said, "I have only one son. I’ve devoted my whole life to him. Nathan has not let me down. Grace, I also envy you. You have a son and a daughter, and a considerate husband." Grace smiled lightly, pressing her lips together, and said, "That's why Nathan and Sophia are a match made in heaven. As their parents, our wish is for their happiness, isn’t it? Your family has the land and Nathan’s business acumen. My husband has design skills. Sophia is pregnant. If our two families cooperate in business, we are sure to make money." "You're right. Please try this fish, it's from the most famous Chinese restaurant in New York." Grace listened to Carol’s introduction but didn't try the fish. Instead, she gently picked up a piece of fish and handed it to Logan Morgan, saying softly, "Darling, try this fish. I checked, and this piece has no bones." Logan Morgan was obviously very pleased with Grace's actions. He was a man with strong patriarchal beliefs and a lot of pride. In his world, men were the most important members of a family. During meals, only after the man had eaten could the women eat, and the best food had to be reserved for the man. For so many years, Grace had always followed his rules. Grace always managed to satisfy his vanity and those old feudal thoughts invisibly. When Carol was introducing the fish to Grace just now, his face had darkened. He felt Carol should be serving him. But for Sophia’s sake, he didn’t get angry. Fortunately, Grace gave him enough face by letting him be the first to eat the fish. Logan Morgan was finally satisfied. He smiled, tasted a bite, and nodded approvingly, "This fish does indeed taste good. Grace, you should try it too." Grace handed him another piece of fish. "Okay, thank you," Grace smiled gently, turning to Carol, "Carol, please don’t mind. My husband always cares for me. Every time we eat, he has to taste the food first before letting me eat." Carol had been single for over twenty years. Watching them, she hesitated for a moment and said, "You two are really loving. I truly envy you." Grace replied, "I just hope my daughter can find a husband who loves and cherishes her as much as mine does. The first time I met Nathan, I felt that he must be a responsible man. What do you think, dear?" Grace always liked to ask Logan Morgan’s opinion when expressing her views, showing her respect for her husband. Logan Morgan's vanity was once again satisfied. He smiled and said, "Yes, I think Sophia is very fortunate." They exchanged polite remarks, and Nathan frowned. "Nathan, how about having a drink with Mr. Morgan?" Carol asked him. Nathan frowned and said, "I remember Mr. Morgan has high blood pressure. It's best if he avoids alcohol. Health is the most important thing." Carol was a bit displeased, "Don't be such a killjoy." Grace noticed Nathan's impatience. She knew what was on his mind. Sophia had already told her that Nathan had gone out to look for Emily but was stopped by the media. So, he was now angry. Grace smiled and said, "Nathan is right. Health is the most important thing. Dear, you are the pillar of our family. No one is more important than you. Don’t drink today."Logan Morgan's expression softened, "Okay, for you and the child, I won't drink today." Grace's eyes welled up with tears, and she looked moved, "Dear, you are so good to me." "You are my wife, of course I should treat you well." Logan Morgan held Grace's hand in his palm and turned to Nathan, saying, "Nathan, go accompany Sophia. She went straight to the bedroom as soon as she got home. Is she feeling unwell?" Nathan nodded, glancing at Grace with a look that seemed meaningful. However, he quickly looked away and went upstairs. In the bedroom, Sophia was struggling to suppress her urge to smash things. She could only vent her frustration by angrily pulling out tissues one by one and tearing them to shreds!
