Heaton completely blew up a storm. Those who did not know anything about Heaton went out of their way to find more information about him after reading his Weibo post. The post also attracted many fans for the man.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Such a strong and confident President!"
"He's so handsome! Even the picture on his marriage certificate is too handsome! He's probably even more handsome in real life."
"I won't tell you guys what I know. I have looked up and watched every video I could find about the activities and events that he had attended, so I'll tell you guys right now that Boss Fudd is mine!"
"Argh! From this day onward, I will no longer like any other celebrities except for Boss Fudd!"
"Who would put their marriage certificate as their first post on Weibo! That is way too bold!"
"I need to know Madam Fudd's Weibo account! I want to watch them flaunt their love around!"
"I am currently sitting on a lemon as I cried my lungs out."
"Oh, I'm so jealous now. What kind of a god-tier husband is this? I want one too!"
…
Verian beamed as she scrolled through the comments section.
However, was she a public figure since Heaton announced their relationship?
She called Heaton on the phone.
Heaton had just finished his meeting. He asked, "Hey, you're awake? Have you had your breakfast yet?"
The man was on his office swivel chair as he raised his hand to loosen the tie around his neck.
"I saw the Weibo post."
When Verian said that, her voice sounded slightly bashful and soft. Heaton grinned. "You're not happy about it?"
"Of course, I am. But I am curious if you actually bought your way to the top post?"
Heaton was stunned as he loosened up his tie. He raised his eyebrows and teased her. "Yeah, I paid for it."
"How much did it cost? That post had completely blown up, though. That's odd… wouldn't there be an 'ad' tag next to the post?"
"A lot of money."
Verian pouted and said, "That expensive. So why did you do it? Are you trying to start a charity drive for Fudd Group?"
"Oh, Madam Fudd, you believed everything I said."
It was too easy to lie to her.
Verian was struck dumb.
She could hear Kush's voice from the other end of the phone call. He seemed to be looking for Heaton to talk about work.
Verian said, "Are you working? I shall not bother you any longer. I'll hang up now."
"You're so obedient."
"Yeah, we have two children now, and you need to make money. Children are expensive."
Heaton chuckled and said, "You still don't understand how rich your husband is."
Verian had no retort for that.
He was a bloodsucking businessman, indeed.
Heaton's phone rang again after the previous phone call ended. It was Yandel.
Yandel said, "Yannis' condition had worsened."
"Have you found any matching bone marrow donors?
Kush accepted the documents and opened it. He said, "I am here to discuss that. A patient in a hospital in the city had donated their bone marrow. I sent Madam Gaunt's files to the doctor, and he told me that it's a match."
Heaton nodded and said, "Contact the hospital and have them send the bone marrow to South City as soon as possible. Madam Gaunt is in poor health, and she could not make the trip here."
"Alright, I'll get to it right away."
….
"Alright."
…
Little Jelly Bean had already arrived home when Heaton returned at night.
The little rascal had lost a game to Verian, and she threw a fit by smashing Verian's Legos. Then she put on an innocent face and said, "It was an accident, Monty. I didn't know they would collapse!"
The little rascal covered her mouth as she giggled. Verian laughed and said, "Cherrie Fudd, you're such a troublemaker. Didn't you learn not to be a sore loser?
"Daddy taught me to run if I can't win."
Little Jelly Bean ran away as she continued to giggle. However, she immediately ran into Heaton, who had just entered the house.
Heaton bent over to pick her up and said, "Since when has Daddy ever taught you that?"
Little Jelly Bean hugged Heaton's neck as she said, "Daddy, Monty is really good at building Legos!"
Verian walked toward them and said, "Put Jelly Bean down before both of you fall."
After Heaton put his daughter down, Verian took his coat off him.
Heaton said, "Oh, that's right. I have an overseas business trip tomorrow."
Verian was stunned when she heard that. She asked, "Why so sudden? Leaving on a whim?"
"There are some issues in the West European market. I need to attend to that personally."
"But you can't see. Do you want me to go with you?" Verian asked in a concerned tone.
Heaton reached out to caress her flat belly and said, "You're pregnant. You shouldn't be on a plane, and besides, I need to go to several different countries in West Europe. I will have to take care of you if you do come along with me. Kush will be with me; everything will be fine."
Verian teased him. "It seems like Assistant Kush is more like your wife than I am. You brought him everywhere you go."
Little Jelly Bean frowned after she heard that. She asked, "Monty, can two men be together?"
Both Heaton and Verian were struck dumb before they broke out in laughter.
