Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âNothing. I think sheâs just in a bad mood.â With a shrug, Arianna turned to grin at Eloise. Mom, didnât you say that you were preparing desserts?â
âYouâre still a little pig, arenât you? Arenât you worried about gaining weight?â Eloise lectured.
However, she still beckoned a housekeeper to bring over the desserts she had prepared. Speaking of which, didnât you say you have a boyfriend now? Who is it? Why didnât you bring him home for me to see?â
âWe broke up,â Arianna replied nonchalantly.
Eloise was stunned. âBroke up? Why did you two break up out of nowhere? Didnât you just say that you wanted to bring him-â
âOh, you know how we young people are, Mom. Itâs normal for us to fall in and out of love. If we donât feel like weâre fit, weâll break it off,â Arianna said with a wave of her hand. âMom, donât worry. Iâll ensure the guy I bring home will be the best son-in-law youâll ever have.â
Seeing how unconcerned she was, Eloise sighed. âHow can I not worry? Your dad is going to marry that womanâ¦â she trailed off.
It was frustrating even to think about it.
At this moment, Arianna stopped eating and turned to look at her mother. âIs he really marrying her?
Did Uncle Derrick agree to this? Does he not bear us in mind?!â
âYou know how your father is. Once he has his mind set on something, no one can change it.â When Eloise said this, her stern face was now replaced with a hint of sadness. âAt the end of the day, I didnât give birth to a son, soâ¦â
âI "
âWhat does it matter if you donât have a son?!â Arianna was furious. âUncle Derrick has a son, but can that son take over the family business? Iâve done so many things for the company all these years, yet I am still inferior to a guy? Which part of me is incomparable to that sc*mbag my dad had with some other woman? Iâ¦â
âArianna!â Eloise called out to her. She was taken aback as she had never seen Arianna like this.
Hearing her name, Arianna quickly came back to her senses and cleared her throat. âWhat Iâm saying is, this is not your fault. This is all dadâs fault. He has wronged you.â
Eloise looked deeply at her daughter before reaching out and pulling Arianna into her arms. Then, Eloise gently stroked her hair with one hand. âI know how capable and sensible you are. I blame myself that youâre not a son. If you are, everything in the Tanner family will fall onto your lap.â
âMom, why canât I do it as a woman? Why is it that just because I am a woman, the livelihood. of the Tanner family must be borne by some outsider? Why?â When Arianna looked up at Eloise, Eloise noticed a light in Ariannaâs eyes that she had never seen before.
Although Eloise was a little startled by this side of her daughter, she was also moved by what Arianna said. âYouâre right. However, your dadâ¦â
âMom, how would dad act if he didnât have a son outside?â Arianna suddenly asked.
âArianna, what are you talking about?!â A chill ran down Eloiseâs spine when she looked at the daughter, who now seemed like someone she didnât recognize.
âNothing. Iâm just asking. What can I do? Iâm just a girl, after all.â
Arianna stuck her tongue out before she pulled herself away from Eloise and continued eating. Eloise watched Arianna eat unhurriedly. There was nothing out of the ordinary. However, Arianna suddenly stopped eating and thought out loud. âI read a book the other day about how people die unexpectedly every day. Iâve also learned that the rate of accidental deaths is very high. Do you think something might happen to that woman and her son?â
