Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 800

Chapter 800 We’ll Get Even With Them

Maxine went to the study and noticed that her usually stern father was busy at work.

Her mother was also there, preparing a pot of tea.

"Dad, Mom."

Maxine greeted them softly, took the teacup from her mother's hands, and placed it on her father's desk.

She turned around to face her mother and spoke sweetly, "Your tea-making skills are getting better, Mom. I could smell the tea leaves at the door. No wonder Dad always likes the tea you make for him. Isn't that so, Dad?"

Irving's stern expression did not change, but the corners of his lips eased up a little. "Mm," he replied.

"You really know how to tease me, my dear daughter."

Verona could not help but smile genuinely. She had always loved her precious daughter. "What do you want for dinner today, Maxine? There's a newly-opened five-star hotel in town, and the signature chef is quite skilled. I'll bring you there tonight."

"Never mind, Mom. The chef at home is quite skilled too. It's the same if we have dinner at home," Maxine said.

Verona insisted, "Won't you get bored of eating at home? That won't do... Maxine, what's

your complexion? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, Mom. I'm probably still adjusting to the local climate, and I didn't really sleep that well last night. I just need to rest more today," Maxine said with a slightly morose tone of voice.

Verona sighed as she looked at her daughter. "Sigh, I told you that you shouldn't be traveling so soon after you got back to the country, and I'll arrange for an internship for you in the capital, but you don't listen and insist on going to A City. Now, you've made the trip in vain. I say, Irving, that cousin of yours isn't very reliable. She knows that our daughter wants to work in her son's company, but she can't even pull the strings for us. They'll eventually have to rely on us for a favor, and that's when we'll get even with them!"

Verona looked at her daughter suspiciously. "Has something gotten to you? I thought you hated the Crawford family since you came back from A City, but why are you trying to speak up for them now? Tell me, did the Crawford family promise you something?"

Maxine shook her head guiltily. "N... no... Mom, I thought that since Dad and Aunt Allison are cousins, we should help them if we can..."

"Alright, that's enough. From now on, I don't want to hear anyone mention the Crawford family! If they sincerely want help from us, then they should come to us themselves instead of asking you to speak on their behalf. They haven't asked us for help, so why are you so worried? You're not a young girl anymore, Maxine. Stop acting so childish."

Irving frowned as he looked at his daughter. He decided to investigate what happened to his daughter while she was in A City.

"Yes, Dad." Maxine lowered her head as she faced her visibly unhappy father. She knew when to stop asking.

She had tried her best to ask for help on behalf of her Aunt Allison, but her parents seemed to be heavily prejudiced against the Crawford family. She was helpless beyond that, and all she could do now was to pray that T Corporation could overcome the challenges on its own.

Maxine's heart tingled with excitement when she thought of Luke's divinely handsome face. However, she felt a twinge of annoyance when she was reminded that the man was already married...
