Chapter 407: What does an unmarried man know?
"Sis, are you crazy?" Axel gasped in disbelief after hearing what happened between his sister-in-law and brother last night. "Why would you ask him such a stupid question?"
Heaven pressed her lips into a thin line, glancing at Axel and then at Ivy. Even though the party last night ended, many of the older relatives stayed in the old residence. Thus, the mood somehow gave off a continuation of last night. Since the elders, including Lionel and Ria Zhu, planned to go fishing, everyone came. The old residence was big enough and had a pond for fishing, after all.
While Dominic was spending time with the relatives and his parents, Heaven and Axel stayed in the tent. The latter noticed that Heaven was giving her husband a cold shoulder; it wasn’t obvious, but for someone who was very close with the couple, Axel knew something was wrong.
And he was correct.
Ivy Wei, on the other hand, just came because some elders invited her to have breakfast. And now she was with Axel and Heaven, listening to Heaven’s explanation of what happened between her and her husband.
"That’s... I’m sorry to say this, but it’s stupid," said Ivy hesitatingly, leaning back against the folding chair she was sitting on. "What kind of answer do you want to hear from your husband? That he finds another girl more beautiful than his wife?"
"Won’t you feel even more upset if he said that?" Axel scrunched his nose up, looking at his sister-in-law in dismay. "Sis, since when did you become nonsense? This is not the character development we all want. It’s backwards!"
Heaven let out a deep exhale, darting her eyes between the two as they roast her alive. "I know, I know!" she huffed once more as she ran her fingers through her hair.
"I know it’s nonsense and that I shouldn’t even ask in the first place, alright?" she clicked her tongue, snapping her eyes to the distance where Dominic and the elders were sitting. "I already know he will choose me over anyone."
"Then why are you upset?" Ivy tilted her head to the side.
"I... don’t know." Heaven pouted, lowering her eyes. "I’m not always like this, but for some reason, I find it very annoying. I already knew asking such a stupid question would not benefit anyone, but I still did. And now I am... upset, but mostly with myself."
