Chapter 564

Chapter 564:

The man snorted coldly and said, “Esteban is unfair. He wants to give everything to Susan? Let’s see if I’ll allow that to happen. Don’t worry. Now that I’m back, everything in the Riggs family will belong to you and Jada.”

Days passed in a flash. It had already been a week since Susan won first place in the competition. She became an instant sensation and successfully became the director of the company’s perfume-making department. She was confirmed as the future heir to the CEO position.

After Elaine found out Susan was pregnant, she cooked delicious dishes every day. Also, she and Esteban arranged a day to discuss the engagement plans. They chose the largest VIP room in a hotel, a lavish space with expansive windows offering stunning views of the skyline. Most of the people present were from the Johns family. Only Esteban and Erick represented Susan’s family.

Erick was in high spirits. His broad smile revealed his pride. He had always been proud of Susan. Now that she was about to get married, he couldn’t help but feel a swell of joy. He was the happiest among everyone.

Elaine maintained a gentle and polite demeanor as she said, “We’ve all known each other for a long time, and our families have had a good relationship ever since. I can guarantee that once Susan marries into our family, we’ll treat her as our own daughter.”

Esteban smiled, his expression softening as he spoke about Susan. “My daughter is a little stubborn, but she has a good heart. Since her mother passed away early, she lacks motherly affection. She’ll need a lot of care from you in the future.”

Esteban, apparently in a good mood, rarely spoke in such a gentle and soft tone. Susan couldn’t help but glance at him, feeling a little complicated. She had thought Esteban wouldn’t care much about her wedding. After all, he usually didn’t pay attention to her. She didn’t expect him to be so happy today.

Everyone clinked glasses and enjoyed their dinner while chatting and laughing happily. The atmosphere around them was very harmonious.

Susan reached for the spicy stew and was about to take a bite when Dane suddenly snatched it away. He soaked it in water before putting it back on her plate.

“It’s too spicy. You need to be cautious with your diet now that you’re pregnant,” Dane remarked thoughtfully.

Susan pouted. “Pregnant or not, I’m not incapacitated. I still enjoy spicy food. There’s no need to be overly cautious.” Over the past few days, she had abstained from any spicy dishes under Dane’s vigilant supervision.

Compared to the nausea she had endured earlier, the deprivation of spicy foods felt even more excruciating. Naturally, Susan was a devotee of spicy flavors.

Elaine offered a comforting smile. “Pregnant women do need to be careful, but moderation is key. Susan can indulge a little if she wants to.”

“But I recently read in a book that it’s better for pregnant women to avoid overly spicy foods,” Dane said, his voice laced with concern.

Since Susan’s pregnancy news, Dane had immersed himself in numerous pregnancy guides, eager to ensure everything was perfect. Seeing how Dane cherished Susan like a prized possession, both Esteban and Erick seemed visibly reassured.

“Not everything in books is true,” Elaine chuckled. “A little bit here and there is perfectly fine. Just don’t go overboard.”
