Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Gifts

The two women were Tammy's sisters-in-law, Flora and Hellen. Flora was Bernart's wife, and Hellen was the wife of Louis's second uncle. The three of them - Tammy, Flora, and Hellen - had been engaged in secret fighting for many years.

Tammy looked sullen and wondered why Blanche had come.

Then, Tammy gave her son a reproachful glance, thinking that she had to go and clean up the mess herself. She went to Old Mrs. Herbart's side with a smile.

"Mom, you've been talking for a long time. Have a sip of water to moisten your throat."

Old Mrs. Herbart pushed aside the water glass and smiled nicely at Blanche.

"I'm not thirsty. Don't be nervous, everyone! I'm already an old person who doesn't judge by appearance anymore. Louis' wife has beautiful eyes. I like them."

"Thank you, Grandma," Blanche responded.

Blanche was puzzled by this sudden change in Old Mrs. Herbart's attitude. She had thought that Old Mrs. Herbart would judge her negatively because of Old Mrs. Herbart's initial stern expression. However, to her surprise, she actually gain Old Mrs. Herbart's liking, which was really a good thing for Blanche.

The elderly woman introduced the people around her to Blanche.

"Blanche, they are your eldest uncle Bernart and his wife Flora. These two are your second uncle and aunt. This is Henry, Bernart's son. This is Eric, Hellen's son. Oh, this is Henry's fiancée, Vivian. I also like this girl. It won't be long before she becomes your cousin-in-law."

Blanche nodded, politely greeting each person in turn.

However, except for Eric and Vivian, everyone else gave a perfunctory response.

It was clear that no one respected Louis's ugly wife.

Blanche thought to herself, "Henry? So he is Henry?" She tried to suppress her excitement and pretended to give Henry a calm glance.

He was an impressive man with a straight nose and a mysterious gaze that suggested he was not easy to approach. His face was cold, which made him seem like a hidden wolf.
