The Heir
chapter 17
“You did well back there, Victoria.” Mrs. Griffith patted her cheek. “And because of that, you deserve an award. Tell me what you want.”

Victoria glanced at her husband. The farmhouse was lovely, but she has something in mind.
“Please accept Maximillian as part of our family. He is my husband, and I want him to be respected by everyone in this family—”
“Respect should be earned, Victoria,” her grandmother cut her off. “And as long as Maximillian does not change his way of living, nothing will change.” The firmness in her grandmother’s voice says that there was no way she would change her mind about that matter.
Victoria bit her lower lip and tried her best to suppress her tears.
“You will get the farmhouse as an additional reward.” Mrs. Griffith cleared her throat and stood up.
Maximillian pulled her up afterward.
“Max, I—”
“Hush…” He shushed her with a quick kiss on the lips. “No need to say sorry. We are the victors here, dear wife. Right, Franklin?”

“WELL, this is kinda disappointing, Franklin.” Maximillian’s lip twitched. “You know… I thought you are a man of your word. It turns out it was nothing but a bluff. Aren’t you the one who started this bet?”
