Chapter 60: In the Eyes of a Vile Man
Peter smiled at Leander.
"The Young Lion of the Kastello family...Isn’t he perfect for succeeding me?" Peter smirked, his pride oozing out through every pore in his body as he patted Leander’s back. "He’s going to be tough for you all to deal with. He’s like me!"
"What are you saying? He’s still wet behind the ears!" one of the old guys shouted. Some joined him in a chortle.
Nicholai Palatini swallowed an entire glass of scotch and leaned to Helena. "Regretting your decision now?" he sneered placing his hand on her waist. "Should I divorce you? Come on, be honest. You’d rather be with him, won’t you? He too is the heir now..." he pinched her waist hard.
"N~o," Helena squirmed in her seat unable to bear with the pain. "I don’t want to get divorced."
"Why?"
Nicholai’s alcohol filled breath made Helena squirm more. Along with her morning sickness, his breath made her chest burn. She twisted her body to get out of his hold.
Nicholai let her be and sneered at her.
Viviana noticed the interaction between Helena and her husband. Although she didn’t hear what was said, she could sense that the interaction left Helena hurt. She felt sorry for her.
But then she sighed. She is not in a position to feel sorry for anyone. She herself is in a sorry state.
She looked at Leander. She hoped that Leander didn’t notice the interaction between his first love and her husband. It would hurt him to see his first love living an unhappy life.
Leander seemed to be in shock. His eyes were on his grandfather who was fluttering from table to table bragging about his heir and warning them against the Kastello family. He was maintaining his happy appearance for the whole time.
