Husband

Vera grinned, her smile creeping Averie out. “You know, it’s just too bad you’ve got cotton between your ears. If only you’ve got some brains.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ramon couldn’t help bursting into laughter. 

It dawned on Averie that if Vera understood Neil so well, she wouldn’t have a chance to be Carlos’s wife. Averie was only asking to be humiliated. 

vera. 

“You did it on purpose.” Averic was so furious her face turned red. However, she couldn’t do anything to Vera. 

Neil even stuck out his tongue at her. What a fool. Averie was nothing compared to his mommy. 

This infuriated Averie even more. She clenched her hands. ‘Vera must die. She has to die, she thought. 

The doctor finally arrived. Averie spoke angrily, “Take a good look. Tell them if I’m harming Neil.” Filled with confidence, Averie thought Carlos would compensate her once she was proven innocent. 

Ramon smirked and reminded the doctor, “Be honest if you still want your job.” He would be watching. If the doctor dared to side with Averie and lie, Ramon would expose him and kick him out of there. 

“Are you threatening him?” Averie glared at Ramon. She thought Ramon was on Vera’s side and must also be up to no good. 

Ramon rolled his eyes. “Please. Is that necessary? What if I say you bribed him? Shall we check your bank records?” 

Ramon’s words terrified the doctor. He had taken a lot of money from Averie. He would side with Averie if it didn’t go against the Monroe family’s principles. 

“Dr. Marshall takes good care of the Monroe family. Is it wrong to give him a bonus?” Averie retorted. 

“Not at all. But do you know, Mr. Monroe?” Ramon winked at Carlos. Did Carlos know how thoughtful Averie was, or was he surprised? He couldn’t wait for Carlos to learn what Averie had been up to. 

Carlos remained perfectly calm, not saying a word. He was surprised when Vera fired those questions at Averie. He had thought Vera was a woman who used her charms to get her way, someone who got pregnant so she could marry into the Ford family. He didn’t expect her to love children genuinely. Otherwise, Vera wouldn’t know so much about child–rearing. Did her deep love for her children mean she loved James? 

The thought made Carlos extremely unhappy. It was like finding something he wanted, only to realize it belonged to someone else. Carlos could only stare at it but couldn’t touch it. 

“There are some health supplements in the soup which Mr. Neil’s body can’t handle. There are also some ingredients which shouldn’t be cooked together. If ingested, it could cause fever and diarrhea in young children. Thankfully, there isn’t much of it,” Ivan Marshall, the family doctor, concluded. 

Averie wished she could slap Ivan. She chided, “Nonsense. My grandparents have been drinking soup with those supplements. I used the best ingredients. Those are hard to come by-” 

Vera snorted. “Have you no common sense? Do you think elderly people eat the same as children? A child’s stomach is so delicate.” 

Averie barked at Vera, “Shut up!” 

However, Carlos’s terrifying roar sounded in her ears. “You’re the one who should shut up.” 

Averie went mute. She looked pitifully at Carlos through her tears, using all her acting skills on him so he would soften toward her.

“There’s no need for you to care for Neil from now on,” Carlos continued. “Neil’s diet will be approved by Dr. Miracle from now on.” In other words, Ramon would have the final say on what Neil could and couldn’t eat. 

Vera breathed a sigh of relief. Her scumbag husband finally did something right. She no longer had to worry about Neil’s diet. 

Averie’s face turned red with anger. She thought, “This is not over!‘
