Chapter 433: The New Head Of The Family
The next morning, the Riverdale family gathered to have breakfast together.
Justin came downstairs with Natalie, who looked tired and was yawning. They headed toward the breakfast table.
"Are you still sleepy?" Justin asked, seeing her yawn as if she had been deprived of sleep for ages.
"Shouldn’t you ask yourself why I’m sleepy?" Natalie asked. "It’s all your fault."
"You can sleep the entire day while I’m busy working," he said.
"Mr. Husband, you’re forgetting your wife is a CEO of a company and has to work as well," she countered in a complaining tone. "Tonight, you better stay away from me and let me catch up on all the sleep you’ve been depriving me of since I arrived here."
"I’ll try to," he said.
She observed his uncertain expression and sighed deeply. "I truly don’t trust you."
Grace and the others who had already arrived at the breakfast table heard them as well. Grace had no choice but to swallow her anger, while the others had nothing to say—choosing instead to feign ignorance.
When they reached the table, Grace was sitting in the chair that was meant for Natalie, next to Justin. Aeldric sat in his chair, with Mallory in hers.
Justin didn’t bother with where Grace was seated. Instead, he walked to the chair that was exactly opposite Aeldric’s, at the other end of the table.
