Chapter 58


    After that, Xander kept his hands by his sides sulkily and turned to casually look a t Theo. “President


    Grant, you and Ms. Lane make a beautiful-looking pair. People who don’t know better, like my mother,


    would think the two of you were married! She also said she’d like to have a meal sometime in the future


    with the ‘M 1. and Mrs. Grant’!”


    Even though I knew Xander had said that on purpose, it did not stop resentment from building up in my


    heart. My hands trembled slightly


    I stole a nce at Theo and saw that the two deep pools of his cyes were emotionless. He replied


    faintly, “Please help me send my regards to President. White and tell her that I will visit her


    From Theo’s side, Cindy enthusiastically chimed in. “President White? Is she the designer you


    mentioned earlier who was famous worldwide? I thought she was


    expanding her empire overseas?”


    Wis Lane knows of my mother too? Yes, she usually spends all her time overseas, but since Salt City is


    her hometown, she’s been resting at home since she hasn’t felt so well recently.”


    I was shocked. Petra White was Xander’s mother?


    Anyone in the fashion world or the entertainment world would be familiar with that name.


    She was the most famous fashion designer toe out of Veekto’s Secret Shows, with more than


    ten personal fashion shows under her belt. Many international models prided themselves on the


    opportunity to walk in her shows. Some female artists had even paid her a handsome sum to design


    their clothes.


    No one would have expected such a gleaming star to have originated from Salt City, nor would they


    have expected Xander Nietzsche to be her son.


    In that case, why was be in the entertainment industry?


    Petra White was the second wealthiest


    woman in the entire world!


    The world of the wealthy was full of unsolvable riddles


    Cindy, who had initially been in a foul mood, was suddenly enthusiastically chatting with Xander.

    I was slightly irritated by their conversation. I would have got up and left if not for Xander being in my


    way.


    Lucky for me, the waiters then arrived with our food.


    Theo of course took Cindy’s food to pass t o her. His disy of gentlemanliness towards her was


    impossible to ignore.


    Wandy, their prawns are amazing! I’ll peel them for you.” Xander saw what I had seen, and just as


    quickly, he was taking my food for me and peeling my prawns too.


    Theo’s expression darkened. He took adle to pour Cindy a bowl of soup.


    I said to Xander, “I can do it myself.”


    As if he had not heard me, Xander ced a peeled prawn in my bowl before turning


    Theo, “Ms. Reed’s really like appiu your eye, President Grant, for you to be taking such great care of


    her.”


    Cindy had a sweet smile on her face, looking like she had enjoyed thepliment. Theo looked


    straight at me.


    I lowered my head, feigning ignorance about everything that was happening around me


    As long as I did not take it to heart, it would not hurt me!


    I was about to eat the prawn that Xander had peeled for me when an ufortable sensation seized


    up my abdomen. I instinctively covered my mouth and gestured for Xander to let me


    leave


    Xander realized that I was about to throw up and got up immediately. Hemented, “You’ve only had


    a bit of food, and you’re already throwing up. Are you pregnant?”


    He might not have meant it seriously and merely wanted to make a flippant joke, but I got so spooked


    that I broke out into a cold sweat, the wetness drenching my


    1. k. I could not care less about how I looked as I ran to the washroom to relieve myself. I felt better


    after puking, but the feeling dissipated when I saw Theo standing at the door, looking coldly at me,


    “Erm… Don’t listen to his nonsense. I’m just having some digestive issues… I panicked a little as I


    frantically tried to exin myself.


    You’ve already done enough, Wanda Lane. Come home with me now,” His tone was demanding and


    standoffish. It was essentially an order. 1


    I did not know what he meant by that, so as I brushed past him, I said softly, “I don’t need you barging


    into my business.”


    Don’t you forget that you’re still mywfully wedded wife.” He reached out and grabbed me tightly


    around the wrist, exerting so much force my wrist began to hurt.


    I was slightly annoyed. I lifted my frosty gaze and remarked, “I thought I suggested that we let each


    other go. Have you considered my suggestion?”


    Mea’s cyes suddenly be sharp and ferocious. “Wanda Lane, do you have to act like this?”


    “Yes, I have to.” I scoffed. “You’ve given all your love and attention to someone else since we got


    married, while you left me to beg for your mercy at home like a sad puppy. I’m done with living life like


    this.”


    Theo’s expression was stormy. Then, a razor-sharp curve appeared by the edge o f his lips. I knew he


    was angry, but I had sp?ken nothing but the truth, albeit it more bluntly than would have been


    expected.


    What’s all this about?” he asked abruptly, his toneced with exasperation.
