Chubby Mommy: Scheming Daddy, Surrender Now!-Chapter 312: Henpecked

Ruby Sullivan glanced at the man, didn’t recognize him, and wasn’t familiar with the local circle, nor did she know The Jennings Family’s business. She simply thought the kid was fun and accepted her WeChat request.

The two of them chatted while eating fruit, and it turned out that Stella Jennings really liked perfume.

But she always thought the Lawson Group’s perfumes were too mature for her. She never expected that after Wenny joined the Sterling Group, they would release perfumes completely different from the previous style. She was captivated by the scent of Daydream during a tryout at the counter.

When Daydream hit the market, she immediately bought a bottle and loved it deeply. From then on, she became a fan of Wenny. When the news broke that Wenny left the Sterling Group, Stella was sad for a long time.

Recently, she heard that Wenny started her own company and would launch new perfumes soon. She was thrilled and couldn’t believe she met her today!

"If I knew you were coming, I would have come with my dad earlier." Thinking of this, Stella couldn’t help but regret.

Ruby Sullivan smiled, "This is my first time here today, so we must have a connection. Our new perfume will probably be launched within two months and shouldn’t disappoint you."

"I have faith in your talent," Stella Jennings, seeming more confident than Ruby Sullivan herself, said, "By the way, what perfume are you wearing? It smells so good."

"This is one I blended for myself. If you like it, I’ll give you a small bottle next time." Meeting an enthusiastic fan for the first time, Ruby Sullivan became generous.

"Really? Today is truly my lucky day."

Ruby Sullivan looked at her with a soft smile, increasingly feeling she resembled her daughter.

Stella Jennings was only fifteen, had dropped out due to poor academic performance, and now took cultural lessons from a tutor, planning to get a high school diploma next year and then audition for a girl group.

"My dad said I can’t stay cooped up at home forever, so he insisted on dragging me out to broaden my horizons, but I don’t know what to say to those people." Stella glanced at the empty plate and gave a self-mocking smile, "Moreover, I’m starving now but dare not eat anything. I really have no mood to chat with those women."

Perhaps because she had no friends, Stella clung to Ruby Sullivan and constantly wanted to chat, as if talking distracted her from hunger.

She was dieting, determined to shed all the extra weight to succeed in the girl group audition next year.

"You don’t find me annoying, do you?" She suddenly looked at Ruby Sullivan uncertainly.

Stella was short and looked younger than her actual age.

Ruby Sullivan found her petite and adorable, wanting to hug and cuddle her.

"Of course not, if you don’t chat with me, I’d have to eat by myself, which would be so boring."

Elsewhere, Gwen Yates had been standing in front of Ethan Sterling and Aidan Sinclair for a while. Aidan Sinclair was just trying to amuse himself, deliberately engaging in awkward small talk with Gwen Yates and not letting Ethan Sterling leave.

Those who didn’t know might assume Gwen Yates was quite familiar with Aidan Sinclair and Ethan Sterling, as others couldn’t help but cast curious glances their way.

Of course, they were more curious about how the rumored capable Mrs. Sterling would react, but Mrs. Sterling was happily chatting with a young girl, seemingly oblivious to the situation over there.

Gideon Yates felt subtly proud seeing his daughter connect with Aidan Sinclair.

His daughter had always been outstanding. If his impatience hadn’t implicated her, who knows how many quality suitors she’d have attracted in such settings.

Although Skylar Aldrin came from a well-off family, he currently had no say in the Aldrin Family and was unwilling to join the military, so the help he could provide the Yates Family seemed quite limited for now. It might be better to find her a more useful husband.

If it were Aidan Sinclair... then Ethan Sterling would be insignificant, and Yates Family would recover all the losses invested in him with interest!

Ethan Sterling drained the champagne from his glass, having no time to humor Aidan Sinclair anymore. "I’m going to find my wife."

Aidan Sinclair grabbed him, "Hey, Wenny’s busy. How can you abandon your brother? Don’t tell me you can’t stand up to your wife and that’s why you want to leave."

Gwen Yates spun the wine glass in her hand. Although she didn’t understand why Aidan Sinclair was causing such a scene, it was to her advantage, so she quietly watched it unfold. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Ethan Sterling handed the empty glass to a passing waiter, broke free of Aidan’s hold, and smiled lightly, "You’ve got good eyes, Sinclair. I’m indeed afraid of my wife."

Aidan Sinclair was speechless. He wanted to see Ruby Sullivan come over and provoke this little minx, but she hadn’t even given Gwen Yates a second thought.

Gwen Yates furrowed her eyebrows watching Ethan Sterling’s retreating figure, filled with jealousy. Afraid of his wife... He really was completely devoted to her.

"Wenny sure has some skills to have Mr. Sterling under her thumb like that," Gwen Yates intentionally changed her address to Mr. Sterling to pretend familiarity with Ethan Sterling in front of Aidan Sinclair.

Aidan Sinclair squinted at her and laughed, "Wenny’s braised pork is especially good."

"Braised pork?" Gwen Yates didn’t quite understand, masked it with a smile, and tried to continue her conversation with Aidan Sinclair, "Never mind, let’s continue talking about movies. I really like Tim Burton."

Aidan Sinclair suddenly raised his glass towards the front, sauntering forward with a smile, "Mr. Jennings Jr., long time no see." It seemed as though he hadn’t heard Gwen Yates’ words.

Gwen Yates turned to watch him walk farther away, clenching her glass tightly, the knuckles on the back of her hand protruding, constantly reminding herself to maintain control to avoid ruining her expression.

She downed her champagne in one gulp and was about to ask a waiter for another when a man approached, "Gwen Yates?"

The man was decent-looking, but his eyes were too frivolous, constantly darting over her body as though assessing her figure.

"I’m Caleb Ford," he said, handing her a business card.

Apex Group General Manager.

Though this position was somewhat lower than titles like CEO or Chairman, Gwen Yates knew Apex Group’s chairman was also a Ford, and since he was present here, he couldn’t be ordinary.

"May I have the honor of a dance?" Caleb Ford extended his hand invitingly.

"Of course." Gwen Yates smiled and took his hand to the dance floor.

Ruby Sullivan was discussing opinions on various perfumes with Stella Jennings when Ethan Sterling appeared in front of her with a dark face, scaring Stella into immediate silence.

The young girl thought for a moment, pulled Ruby Sullivan over and whispered in her ear, "Does your husband commit domestic violence?"

Ruby Sullivan smiled bitterly, "No, he’s very good to me."

Stella Jennings pursed her lips in concern, "I may be young, but I can read the news too. If you have any difficulties, don’t hesitate to speak out, perhaps I can help you." She pondered and added, "Maybe my dad could help you."

"My wife doesn’t need your help." Ethan Sterling sat down beside Ruby Sullivan, pulling her into his arms, childishly declaring his territory to a little girl.
