His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 309

The moment Dileon and Teddy left, Henrick's face resumed its normal expression. He smiled at Malorie, asking, “How have you been, Mom? Have you been taking the supplements I bought

Malorie nodded at him. “I've been well. And this must be... Sannie?”

Arielle immediately felt Malorie's sharp gaze piercing her face as the latter openly scrutinized her.

She knew at once that this woman before her eyes was not going to be easy to get along with.

Nevertheless, she quickly flashed a radiant smile at her and answered in a sweet voice, “Yes, Grandma, I'm Sannie.”

“Mmm.” Malorie nodded curtly as she walked around Arielle in a circle, scanning her from head to toe, at the same time muttering, “Your looks indeed resemble that dead mother of yours. Hopefully, your fate and temper are nothing like hers.”

Arielle's hands immediately balled into fists under the sleeves of her coat as she struggled to suppress her rising fury.

Taking in a deep breath, she forced herself to maintain the same pleasant smile as she responded, “Thanks for your concern, Grandma, but I've always been in good health.”

“It's good that you're healthy.” Malorie narrowed her eyes and shot her a disdainful look before going on, “But you're way too skinny! That isn't ideal for childbirth. You need to put on some weight. Look at you, barely having any flesh on your bum! The rich folks don't like your sort, you

know, as you're unlikely to give birth to sons!”

At that, the smile on Arielle's face was beginning to falter.

Are women merely birthing machines in this old woman's eyes?

Arielle finally understood the reason for Henrick's personality. Like mother, like son!

Timing her reaction perfectly, she turned toward him with a helpless and aggrieved look in her eyes.
