Falling For My “Disabled” Wife by Veronica Winifred

Chapter 28 

Russell was instructing the servants to prepare things. Upon hearing this, his face immediately became grim. He said, “Laura! When the members of the Nicholls family arrive later, you’d better not speak out of turn. They’re not really coming for a family visit. It’s definitely to ease the relationship between the two families. Got it?” 

Ursa immediately understood the implication behind Russell’s words. She hurriedly told her mother–in–law and daughter, “Yeah. That girl is not important. What’s important is to entertain Roger and Mrs. Rebecca well! Who knows, we may even get a chance to talk about Laura and Ronald’s wedding.” 

Ursa was still scheming inwardly, but Russell had already given up hope. 

“You’re still thinking about this matter?” Russell said. “The word on the street is that Ronald is solely interested in the young lady from the Dawson family. At the banquet the other day, he didn’t fancy our Laura at all.” 

Laura got annoyed upon hearing this. “He doesn’t fancy me?” she said. “Well, I don’t fancy him. either! Who does he think he is? The company isn’t under his control. At the banquet the other day, I could hear him bragging from afar. He looks good on the outside but lacks substance!” 

However, as soon as she finished talking, a faint sound came from the doorway. 

The buder was the first to notice and exclaimed, “Miss Sophie, how did you get in?” 

As soon as the butler said that, Russell and the others were taken aback. Turning around, they indeed saw Rebecca, Roger, and Sophie walking in. 

Sophie intentionally smiled and asked, “Why? Do I need to notify you when I’m returning to my own home?” In the past, she had to notify the butler every time she entered or left the house. But today, she neither wanted nor saw the need for it. 

And Laura did not disappoint her. Sophie brought them in suddenly, intending to let Rebecca see the true colors of these members of the Bourn family. Laura was incredibly cooperative in this regard. 

Sure enough, Rebecca, who was initially excited and was still tidying up her appearance, now had at pale face. 

Looking at Laura, she said somewhat sarcastically, “Miss Bourn, I heard everything you just said. It didn’t expect you to look down on my Ronald so much. It seems that this marriage isn’t meant to be after all according to fate.” 

Rebecca was a master at shifting blame. Indeed, with just this remark, she completely absolved. herself of any responsibility for calling off the marriage previously.

Seeing the situation, Russell quickly smoothed things over, saying, “Mrs. Rebecca! She’s just a little girl. She understands nothing. She’s only saying such things because she’s angry that Ronald didn’t agree to the marriage…” 

But Rebecca did not give him the chance to counterattack. She continued coldly, “Is that so? I don’t think so. But it’s good. Now that I’m here today. I’ve learned the true feelings of your daughter. Let’s forget about this marriage. The Nicholls family and the Bourn family don’t owe each other anything, and that’s fine.” 

As soon as that was said, Russell seemed as if he had taken a sudden blow. He thought, “What was initially an opportunity to improve relations between the two families has turned into such a mess! It even allows the Nicholls family to escape any sense of guilt. I initially intended to leverage Rebecca’s social obligation to patch things up with us to control the Nicholls family a little, but it seems that the plan has completely fallen apart!” 

However, Ursa directed the focus of criticism toward Sophie at this moment, saying, “Oh, come on. How can you be so impolite even after getting married? Don’t you know how to knock when you come home?” She even suspected that Sophie deliberately let Rebecca hear it 

Sophie looked innocent as she said, “I was just a bit excited for a moment. After all, I haven’t seen my adoptive father and adoptive mother for several days. I just rushed in. I didn’t know that Laura would say such things. She immediately passed the buck. 

Laura was furious. She said, “It’s you plotting against me! And you still have the audacity to cunningly in an attempt to defend yourself! Sophie, you’re a bitch!” 

These words, which she was used to saying on a regular basis, unexpectedly slipped out without her considering that Roger and Rebecca were present. 

“Laura!” Russell said. “What nonsense are you talking about?” Laura actually spoke disrespectfully in front of Roger. Russell immediately rebuked her. 

Roger’s expression instantly turned extremely gloomy. He could not help but sarcastically say, “Mr. Bourn, your daughter has had a good upbringing. She actually uses such foul language. It really makes me look at her in a new light.” 

Though he was clearly speaking with a smile, for some reason, the atmosphere in the Bourn family’s home suddenly became very tense. Even Rebecca felt a little frightened. The Bourn family’s couple broke out in a cold sweat. Even Ursa’s arrogant demeanor earlier had dissipated. 

se, feeling embarrassed, hurriedly apologized to Roger. “Mr. Roger, Laura is still young,” he 

said. “Please don’t lower yourself to her level… 

“Did I lower myself to her level?” Roger said as he lifted his eyebrows coldly. His tone was sinister. 

Roger’s eyes clearly had no focus, but for some reason, Russell felt as if he was being stared at intensely. This sensation was truly terrifying.

Russell quickly apologized, saying, “No. No. That’s not what I meant…” 

Even Rebecca was a little shocked when she saw this scene. Roger had always been aloof and uninterested in worldly affairs at the Nicholls family’s home. However, in the Bourn family’s home, his presence was incredibly powerful, even making her feel a bit overwhelmed. 

Seeing her husband being put in a difficult situation, Ursa gritted her teeth and gathered the courage to say, “Mr. Roger, instead of putting my husband in a difficult situation, shouldn’t your discipline your wife? After all, this is the Bourn family’s home, not the Nicholls family’s home of yours!” These words made the atmosphere that had just been eased become tense again. 

Roger sneered and pretended not to know, asking. “Discipline my wife? What’s there to discipline? Is there an issue with my wife?” 

“Jeez!” Ursa said. She did not expect Roger to be so unreasonable. She was angry, so much so that her face had turned pale. 

But Russell quickly spoke up to stop her, saying, “Shut up! Don’t say anything more!” 

He thought, This mother and daughter pair is as stupid as donkeys! Both of them offended the honored guests as soon as they entered! How can we reconcile now?” 

“What did I say wrong?” Ursa said, feeling a bit annoyed at being scolded. “Clearly, it’s this girl deliberately playing a trick on us!” 

As Sophie saw Ursa stomping her feet, she simply smiled. “Since you think so, I have nothing more to say,” she said. “Yes. I’m playing a trick on you. What about it?” 

“Sophie!” Laura said. “You finally admit it! I think you need a lesson! Watch how I deal with you.” While speaking, Laura suddenly stood up and rushed toward Sophie. 

But unexpectedly, before she could reach Sophie, Roger positioned himself in front of the handlebars of Sophie’s wheelchair. 

A tall figure loomed over. Laura immediately stopped walking. She then saw Roger’s handsome face, and she was momentarily stunned. But she soon recovered from her astonishment, thinking, ‘He’s just a blind man! Why should I be afraid?” “Move aside!” she said, suddenly raising her hand to push Roger. 

But unexpectedly, Roger slightly tilted his body and immediately avoided getting pushed. 

Laura could not recoil in time. Unable to control her own force, she ended up falling directly to the floor. “Ah!” Laura’s scream could be heard. In the next second, she immediately had contact with the floor face–to–face. 

“Oh my God!” Harriet said. “Laura, are you okay?” Harriet, who had been silent on the side, immediately rushed over in a fluster upon seeing this scene.
