The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“Do you think our son is intentionally ruining his reputation? Do you want us to die without seeing him married?” Vera sighed, rubbing her temples.

“I’ve been longing for a grandchild, Leo. All the other women my age flaunt their grandchildren in front of me. At one point, I even thought I would have a grandchild soon. But Garrett is too stubborn. And now, with all these failed blind dates, people are starting to gossip and say nasty things about our son. How will he find a partner now?”

Leo reluctantly nodded. “Fine. There’s no such thing as a perfect daughter-in-law, after all.”

But today, she had specifically hired a makeup artist to help with her hair and makeup. She was even wearing her most expensive clothes. After all, this was her first meeting with Garrett’s family, and everything had to be perfect. She couldn’t give them a reason to look down on her.

She chewed and swallowed slowly, trying to eat as gracefully as possible, unlike her usual self. As a result, she felt stiff and uncomfortably full after the meal, like never before. She could sense Vera and Leo’s scrutinizing gazes, observing her every move.
