Semua Bab Yes, I'm the Richest Man's Wife: Bab 701 - Bab 710

This scene was too familiar. In the past three years, whenever Ruth and Charles discussed something in a seemingly calm manner, the air would always grow tense. When this happened, it was either Lily or Reina who came to defuse the situation. The reason why Reina could get Ruth to go to Charles herself was probably because she had seen the changes in Ruth and felt that she would not confront him head-on anymore.Unexpectedly, the topic still ended up going in that direction.Knock, knock, knock!A rhythmic knock on the door broke the tense atmosphere. Ruth and Charles turned around and saw Abel at the door.Charles found Abel even more unpleasant to look at, second only to Caelus. “What are you doing here?”Abel walked inside. “Ruth said that she has something to discuss with you, so I came to check on her.”Charles and Ruth stared at him.Ruth thought. “That’s right, I almost forgot why I came here.”She was silent for a moment and carefully considered her words. “Father,

Abel opened his eyes. The dim yellow light made his eyes look darker.The conversation from last night was fresh in his mind, and he knew what she meant by “giving it a try.”But...“We agreed to that, but you went to another man’s room. You said that you were thinking about me, but you hugged someone else before me. Your first words were also to someone else. Do you think I’ll believe that?” His cold voice was filled with accusation.Ruth was stunned for a few seconds before a smile appeared in her cunning eyes. “Honey, are you jealous?”Abel turned his head away and could not be bothered with her. “No, I’m just tired.”Ruth supported herself against his chest and rolled nimbly to the other side. Her gaze burned into his.Abel turned his head coldly and looked away, but Ruth persisted in meeting his eyes.After a few rounds, Abel almost lost his composure from her crawling around on him. He was prepared to reach out and hold her the next time she crawled over him, but he did n

“What were you talking about?” Abel said from behind.Tom laughed dryly. “Nothing! Grandpa said today is about you and Ruth, so I won’t be stealing the limelight from you.”As he spoke, he walked with Ruth into the house. He talked about how he and Abel were born on the same day, but it was at different times. Still, the gap was not far apart.“So, who was born first?” Ruth asked cooperatively.Tom smiled. “That’s not important. What’s important is that don’t you think it’s a coincidence? We’re both the eldest in our respective families, and my father also happens to be...”“Oh, then I understand. You’re the younger one!”Tom spluttered. Their pleasant conversation had come to an end.He was silent for a few seconds before he leaned closer to whisper, “Pearl is here today, too. She’s a little reserved. Please spend some time with her. Don’t let her feel neglected.”Coincidentally, he had just invited Pearl to come here when he learned that his family would be hosting Ruth’s fam

After a few sentences, the topic returned to the wedding and the atmosphere became relaxed again.Reina’s direct and honest words closed the distance between their families.Charles was slow to react. When he heard what Carlos said, he was stunned as well.He inherently believed that many things had to be dealt with independently, and he had a strong aversion to nepotism. He had previously researched the dynamics of marriages in Sommerset and could not accept the idea of Ruth taking on a role where she had to integrate with and be subservient to another family.Charles had been skeptical about the Acker family, but when he heard that Carlos was willing to use his connections to help the Cavendish family, he had a new perspective on the situation and started to feel like they were becoming one family. It was a subtle shift. After all, in his current situation, ordinary people ordinarily would not side with him so easily. After all, losing in this situation meant more than just los

Luna looked terrified as she looked at everyone at the table. “Did I say something wrong?”Medina beamed. She was starting to like Luna. She piled some food onto Luna’s plate for the first time and said, “Don’t be afraid. It’s someone else who did wrong. You’re simply stating a fact.”Dillon sneered and said coldly, “Luna, you should be careful with your words. You can’t say this in front of them! Abel is blinded by women now. If you dare to say that they’re in the wrong, you’d best watch your back.”Ever since Dillon’s hand was crippled, he had been recuperating at home. At the same time, he hired famous doctors to restore his left hand to its original state.However, the many doctors he consulted all said that the nerve tissue was completely necrotic. There was nothing they could do.Some time ago, he happened to learn from an expert that the necrosis was due to poisoning. The whole family was shocked and furious. They condemned Abel for being so ruthless.However, Dillon was
