Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 173

Mr. Blue glanced at the incoming call and said to his lover, "I got to take this."

And off he went.

The beautiful woman didn't say anything.

She knew what Mr. Blue was up to, and she wouldn't stop him, knowing that his actions could bring in more dough. The richer he got, the more her unborn child could inherit.

Mr. Blue headed to his office upstairs, shut the door, and answered the call.

His office was soundproofed, so there was no worry about being overheard.

Even though he didn't hide much from his lover, there were things he preferred to keep under wraps.

"What's up?" Mr. Blue asked in a low voice.

As he listened to the call, his brow furrowed. After a moment, he asked, "They met? What was Ethan's reaction? They don't know each other? Good."

"You got to keep a close watch on them. See if you can waste that mother-son duo on their way back."

He had suspicions about Ethan's sudden trip.

Just as he thought it was just a cover-up.

Ethan had found Lucinda Blue.

Luckily, they didn't recognize each other.

After hanging up, Mr. Blue's eyes turned cold. He sneered, thinking that Nathan still favored his biological son.

After some thought, he called Madeleine Porter. When she answered, he asked, "Ms. Porter, fancy becoming Mrs. Nathan? You've been with Nathan for so long. How come you're not pregnant yet?"

"If you get knocked up, put some pressure on Nathan, and you'll be his wife in no time. Here's some good news: Ethan's met Lucinda, and he's brought his mom. If you don't hurry up, you'll lose everything once Lucinda comes back."

Annoyed, Madeleine shot back, "You incompetent fool, I've given you so many people to kill Lucinda, and you still can't get it done. Now the siblings have met."

Mr. Blue took the insult on the chin, admitting his incompetence in this matter, but it was out of his hands.

"That girl's lucky. Now she's part of Pinehurst's richest, the Anderson family. They're not easy to deal with. Our last plan flopped because the Andersons and the Martinez family got involved. They're big shots in Pinehurst."

"In Pinehurst, we can't touch them. No matter how many men we send, we'll always end up on the losing side."

Madeleine, though annoyed her teammate couldn't get the job done, was just as helpless. Impatiently, she said, "You think I don't want to get pregnant? You see me and Nathan all lovey-dovey. I even spend the night at the Blue family's mansion, but I always sleep alone. Nathan's room has a partition, and even if we're in the same room, we're actually sleeping separately."

Mr. Blue was taken aback, asking, "So, you two haven't?"

"Exactly. I'm starting to doubt if he can even get it up. That woman's been insane for over 20 years. Doesn't he have any sexual needs? If he's not sleeping with me, his young and beautiful girlfriend, then who is he sleeping with?"

Madeleine had been keeping a close watch on Nathan. From the moment she fell in love with him, she wouldn't allow any woman other than her to be by his side.

Mr. Blue hesitated, "Haven't you tried giving him some kind of medication?"

With a dark face, Madeleine snapped, "I've tried several times, but he always manages to dodge it."

Did he think Nathan's easy to fool? He's actually very sharp, always on guard. Even though he seemed affectionate when he's with her, he's always on guard.

Madeleine suspected Nathan still had feelings for that madwoman and even suspected that Nathan and that madwoman were still living a normal married life. Otherwise, why wouldn't he sleep with her?
