His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 999

Ralph tossed and turned the entire night, thinking about how he should treat that crazy woman the next day. After much consideration, he finally got dressed and headed downstairs, realizing that apart from his mother and sister, Heather was nowhere around.

The house was quiet as everyone ate breakfast, and nothing seemed unusual.

"Where's Heather?" he asked suspiciously.

"A lady like her would never want to eat commoners’ food," Celine muttered coldly. She did not have a good impression of Heather ever since yesterday.

Although Celine disliked Lily, that woman lived elsewhere and not in the Russell Estate. Celine did not have to see Lily if she did not want to.

However, Heather was different. She had already moved in before even marrying Ralph, and seeing how overbearing Heather was yesterday, Celine knew she might be even worse in the future.

With Margaret still around, Celine was safe. When Margaret passed away one day, Celine feared Heather would convince Ralph to kick her out.

With that thought in mind, Celine immediately decided that she would have a backup plan for herself.

"Enough," Margaret reprimanded softly before turning to look at Ralph. "Heather has something she needs to do, so she left early this morning. As a woman in charge of such a big family business, it's natural for her to be busy. Once you two are married, remember to help share her burdens."

"Of course, Mom," Ralph replied as he walked down the stairs.

Margaret's poor eyesight did not notice the wound on his lips until he came closer. It was so red and swollen that it looked scary. "What happened to your mouth?!" She exclaimed.

Ralph subconsciously raised his hand to touch his lips. His face began to burn. He was about to come up with an excuse when Celine put down her bowl of porridge and snorted. "Mom, do you still have to ask about things like these? Some people were so excited last night that they couldn't wait until they got into the room."

This caught Ralph off guard. ‘So, she saw us.’
