Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 279

Verian had a surprised look when she stared at the man in front of her. Was he lying just to be close to her?

“I... I’m telling you, I won’t allow you to take control of Heaton’s body and make him never appear ever again just because of what you said…”

Zion inched closer to her. He looked disappointed and depressed as he said, “Can we not talk about him now?”

Verian was speechless and puzzled. If they did not talk about Heaton then she had nothing to say to him!

However, when she noticed the sad look in Zion’s eyes, she could not bring herself to do it.

“I know you don’t believe me and the fact that we’ve met more than once ten years ago.”

Verian stared at him with a skeptical look for a moment and noticed he did not seem to be lying, so she asked, “If we’ve actually met before, why don’t I remember you?”

Ten years ago, she was only fourteen and Heaton was twenty-two.

Twenty-two years old? Was that not the year when Heaton had a drastic change in behavior?

Zion might have manifested at that point of time.

“You mentioned we’ve met twice, so where exactly have we met?”

Zion stared at her and said, “Are you waiting for me to tell you everything? Even when I do, wouldn’t I completely lose any form of value to you?”

Verian was speechless.

“Do you really love Heaton that much?”

Verian answered confidently, “I am Heaton’s wife so of course I love him.”

“But I was the first person to meet you.”

Verian was stunned for a second before her phone rang. It was from Xyla.

She took a look at Zion and after hesitating for a moment, she picked up the call.

“What are you calling me for?”

Verian sounded cold however, Xyla chuckled and said, “I only want to meet up with you. Is there really a need for you to act so hostile toward me?”

She scoffed, “Miss Xyla, there’s nothing to talk about between both of us, so there’s no need for us to meet up.”

“Since you’re unwilling to meet up then I guess I’ll have to reveal Heaton’s schizophrenia to the whole world. Don’t blame me for being ruthless then.”

“Xyla!”

Xyla was calm since she had leverage over Verian. She said, “I will be waiting for you at Astral Bar in Citizen’s Park.”

She hung up after she was done speaking

Verian looked at Zion who was beside her and said, “I’m heading out now. Don’t follow me.”

However, Zion still followed her around. Verian was completely speechless as she said, “I’m begging you, please stop following me.”

In case Xyla noticed Zion, it would have further proved Heaton’s schizophrenia.

“I will send you there and I’ll not follow you inside.”

Verian was skeptical as she said, “Really?”

Zion replied with a simple, “Yeah.”

After Zion drove Verian to the entrance of Citizen’s Park, Verian told him again, “Wait for me in the car and don’t come in.”

After telling him that, she got out and entered the Astral Bar.

The instant she entered, she noticed Xyla drinking coffee.

Xyla simply glanced at Verian then spoke with a calm smile, “I knew you would come.”

“What exactly do you want, Xyla? You dumped Heaton back then so how could you still shamelessly threaten me just to hurt Heaton?”

“I don’t mean to hurt Heaton but you were persistent so I had no choice.”

Verian raised her brows and said, “What do you mean?”
