His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 813

At that moment, Eloise came out from the kitchen and said, “Stop talking shop and come have your dinner.”

After a hectic day, Joseph was both tired and hungry. He got up and went to sit at the dining table. As his wife sat beside him, however, he somehow thought about what Elizabeth had said.

Joseph started to eat quietly without saying anything. After a while, Arianna came over after washing her hand, and the family of three ate in silence. It had been a long time since they had such a peaceful moment together.

Although Joseph did not say it out loud, Elizabeth’s words kept bugging him, and he could not stop but throw a few glances at Eloise.

Eloise felt them. However, since her husband said nothing, she simply feigned ignorance. When the other two were halfway eating, Eloise, who always ate little, got ready to leave, and Joseph stopped her despite himself. “El.”

“Yes?” Eloise gracefully took a last sip of the bisque and put down her spoon. “I’m full.”

“Don’t go yet and stay. I have something to ask you. You saw it in the news. Naomi Schiffer…” After a pause, Joseph continued, “I mean the model and perfume’s brand ambassador who has recently gotten into some dispute with our company.”

“Yes?” Eloise nodded. “What about her?”

“I’m just wondering if you have heard of her or know her personally? After all, you had been in that circle long before this.”

As he asked carefully to test her response, Eloise looked straight at him without wavering. “No, I don’t know her.”

“You honestly don’t? Although she’s young, she became a model quite early. During that time, you hadn’t left the circle yet. Are you sure you’ve never met her?” He could not help but ask again.

They might have met, considering the time frame, but no news could confirm this.

“Dad, you’re not thinking of asking Mom to persuade Naomi, are you?” Arianna lifted her head. “Don’t be silly. Mom has left that circle for many years. Even if she still hasn’t, you know how things work in the entertainment world. Naomi is a famous model. Do you think she will change her statement if Mom persuades her?”

After a pause, she added, “Besides, as I told you, this is not a good time to approach her again, even privately. People will talk.”

“That’s not my intention,” Joseph answered.

Eloise’s gaze became mixed with emotions as she stared at him with a cold smile. “Don’t you get it? He’s not asking me to persuade the model. He thinks I must have been working with her to frame his precious son!”

As she had guessed correctly, Joseph looked stunned. “I never said that!”
