Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 651

Chad Nixon lapsed into silence. He didn’t talk to his angry wife anymore.

He no longer persuaded her to eat, but looked away from her and kept eating.

However, his complete silence infuriated Christine even more.

She lunged at him and swept all the food on the floor with her hand.

All the plates on the table were smashed.

Chad’s clothes were splashed with greasy oil.

He paused for a moment, then his face darkened.

He looked calmly at Christine, who was flushed with anger, saying in a low voice, “What do you want?”

Christine snapped, “eating is all you can do? Can you do something more useful?”

Chad’s frown deepened, feeling that his wife was getting more and more irrational.

He rubbed his eyebrows warily and bit back his anger. “Christine, I don’t wanna pick a fight with you.”

Christine froze.

A sort of undefined grievance and sorrow struck through her, bringing tears to her eyes.

She sneered, “Of course, you don’t. You don’t even bother to talk to me. You don’t love me at all, do you? I guess I can’t count on you at the end of the day! You still want to have dinner? Fine! Let them clean up the mess and cook for you again! And I’ll leave you alone! GOODBYE!”

Then she left.

Tears fell from her eyes as she turned around.

Chad frowned as his wife walked away disappointed. “Who pissed her off?”

He thought for a moment, frowning. Then he asked the servants to clean up the dining room and he left the house.

Outside, he called his assistant with his cell phone.

“Bedell, find out where Mrs. Nixon went and who she met today. I want every little detail.”

His assistant immediately sprang into action.

And beyond that, Christine’s schedule today had been monotonous.

So it was easy to find out what she did.

Chad frowned deeply when he heard his assistant’s report.

Laura Davis…

Max’s wife?

She met Christine?

He sighed with profound resignation, seeming to think of something.

Even an upright official found it hard to settle a family quarrel. Although he was the chairman of the Nixon Group, he was not good at handling household affairs at all.

Now that he knew the whole story, he couldn’t shut his eyes to the problems.

Then he made a phone call to Max.

“Max, come home for dinner this weekend with your wife. You’re married now. You should introduce your wife to the family. I’ll see you then.”

So on the weekend, Max took Laura to the Nixon’s mansion.

They were not allowed to come home according to the deal he made with his mother.

But Chad personally invited them over and promised over the phone that everything would be OK, Max then agreed, thinking that it would indeed be disrespectful not to visit his parents with Laura now that they were married.

Max also asked Laura's opinions in advance.

She thought it was no big deal. She could go, or not. She didn’t seem to care.

She decided not to please her in-laws or try to gain their recognition. Instead, she would just be herself.

After all, she couldn’t make every one like her.

Her marriage was between her and Max.

Certainly, she would be happy if people were willing to accept and wish them happiness.

But if she couldn’t get Christine’s approval no matter what she did, she wouldn’t bother to keep trying.

Her mother raised her better than this. She would not do something so degrading just to please anyone.

So they went home that afternoon with some gifts.

Laura prepared those gifts. Although she was not trying to please Christine, it was her first visit to Max’s parents and it would be rude to see them empty-handed.

Chad had told Christine in advance about this.

Chad had a relatively high EQ, or he couldn’t have been so successful on business.

He told his wife that he hadn’t seen Max in a long time, so he asked him to come home for dinner. Since he was married now, and Christine approved it, he should bring his wife with him.

And Chad could tell Christine also missed Max, and she just refused to admit it.

Now she could finally see her son.

As for Laura, Christine could turn a blind eye to her.

He hoped that she would never lose her temper at the dinner table.

He didn’t want to embarrass his son or spoil the occasion.

So Christine agreed.

She didn’t greet her when Laura came in, but she didn’t pull a long face or try to embarrass her.

Laura and Max all breathed a sigh of relief.

Rowan happened to be there. When she saw Laura, her face lit up with joy.

But she didn’t say hello to Laura in front of Christine.

She just smiled at Laura in the distance.

Laura knew Rowan and she thought Rowan was a lovely girl the last time she saw her at the coffee shop.

But at that time, she didn’t know who Rowan was. Only later did she hear from Max that the girl was Christine’s niece.

Laura said to Chad with a smile, “Mr. Nixon, nice to meet you. We picked out a few things and thought they might come in handy.”

Chad laughed and told the servants to put those things away. “You guys are married now. Why are you still calling me Mr. Nixon?”

However, hearing his words, Christine gave him an icy glare.

And obviously, everyone noticed it.

Chad was a little awkward.

Laura kept an impeccable manner and smiled, “I’ll call you whatever you want me to, but what it really matters is that we’re family now.”

Chad had to take her words as an out and smiled, “Right. You’ve got a point.”

The servants also heard that Max was bringing his wife back home.

But they didn’t expect it to be Laura Davis.

After all, Chad Nixon didn’t watch TV so much, but they did.

They were overjoyed to see a big TV star in the house.
