Chapter 165: No sense of humor
Dominic and Sebastian easily accepted Heaven’s change, giving her a chance to mend their crumbling home. Although there were days Dominic doubted her intentions, he eventually convinced himself his wife had changed just like that.
He believed that was normal, and it happened to a lot of people.
However, for others, it wasn’t that easy.
The servants in the Zhu Mansion had a hard time believing the changes in the manor. It was almost overnight, after all. What more if someone close to Dominic and cared a lot about Sebastian sees Heaven’s change? For example, Axel. It would be a hard pill to swallow.
"What in the world?" Axel scrunched up his nose, watching Heaven and his nephew chat in the dining. "Bro, who in the world is that?"
He gasped in disbelief, turning his head to Dominic. Axel and Dominic were currently on the balcony, which was connected to the dining area. In the morning that Sebastian dragged his uncle to the lobby to wait for his mother, Axel had a terrible expectation of how it would turn out. Considering how unaffectionate Heaven was, he had expected the worst.
The reality was different, though.
"Axel, watch your mouth. That’s your sister-in-law." Dominic just cast his brother a side-eye, holding the phone in his ear.
"Sister-in-law, hah!" Axel scoffed, but then Dominic raised a hand as a gesture to shut up as he started talking on the phone.
"The heck?" Axel turned his head back to the dining, darting his eyes between Heaven and Sebastian, mumbling. "Goodness. She’s giving me goosebumps. Wasn’t she stabbed? I didn’t hear that she bump her head or something."
The last time Axel saw Heaven, she spewed a lot of nonsense to which he didn’t pay any heed. But seeing how she was treating Sebastian, everything she said resurfaced in his head. Still, he didn’t want to believe it.
