546 Leave A Good Impression (2/2)
The more she heard, the angrier she was getting. She wanted to stab someone or something. So, she chose to stab the piece of cheesecake she ordered with her small fork. She filled her mouth with cake to not allow herself to hurl some profanities in her temper. It won't leave a good impression!
But at this moment, she thoroughly despised Zhou Jinhai's mother. That vicious woman! No wonder she was no good of a mother. How could she be? When she never even was a good woman! Destroyed a family?! How despicable!
However, suddenly she realized something...
”Then Regan?”
Zhou Xichen tried to pass her a smile which was obviously forced and it seemed distorted. ”Florence perhaps herself didn't know that when she left me she was already pregnant.” 'Or maybe she did but didn't want to tell me. Maybe that was her way of punishing me.' He didn't say the last sentence to Xiu. He didn't know why but he couldn't say it out loud as if afraid that if he did, his words would turn out to be true.
”Oh!” That's all Xiu could say.
”In fact, until Francesca brought Regan to the country when he was young, I had no idea I had another son. But by that time, Regan was already very sensible. Most importantly, he considered Francesca as his everything. So, I never forced him. Besides, even if I did, I knew he won't be able to have his freedom.”
”Then your current wife is really a poisonous snake. Sorry for offending you, but I just really couldn't keep it in any longer!”
Zhou Xichen didn't hide his amusement at the way Xiu was wolfing down the cake. Also, her words really made him feel at ease. He really wasn't offended. Not even a little. But he needed to clear one more thing to her.
”My only wife had been Florence Salvay. Are you sure you want to call her a poisonous snake?”
Xiu coughed profusely when she heard his words and had a look of disbelief flash all over her being. How was that possible? Was he kidding with her? But what would he get out of this?
”Wait!” She wiped her mouth and even her clothes where she ended up coughing some bits and pieces of the cake that had been in her mouth. Yes, it was very dirty but she was hardly thinking about her image anymore. There were more pressing matters at the hand! ”What about Zhou Jinhai's mother? I mean the lady of Zhou Family? Isn't she now your second wife?”
