Falling For My “Disabled” Wife by Veronica Winifred

Chapter 35 

Roger suddenly approached Sophie, the distance closing to the point where their noses were about to touch. This closeness instantly made Sophie’s heart tremble slightly. 

“He can’t see how close we are, so he won’t be nervous,‘ she thought. Sophie was so nervous that she held her breath. 

She quickly stepped back, moved out of his range, turned around, and said, “I’m not afraid. If you want to run, you can do it now. There are plenty of women who want to marry into the Nicholls family.” 

However, Roger wouldn’t let her go. He reached out, found her chin, pinched it, and forced her to turn to him, saying, “You’re quite self–aware. But you need to put in some effort to keep me.” 

Sophie was almost enchanted by his seductive tone. Despite the fact that he was blind, Sophie felt that she almost fell for him when she looked into his eyes. 

Before she could answer, Roger tentatively approached her face. Sophie felt that Roger was getting closer, and her mind went blank. 

However, just as their lips were about to touch, Sophie suddenly came back to reality. She quickly turned her head and angrily said, “I don’t have time for that! It’s you who should think of keeping. me if you don’t want me to leave you once my legs are healed!” 

After saying that, Sophie unexpectedly pulled over the wheelchair beside the sofa and struggled to sit on it. Then she wheeled the wheelchair and hurriedly left. 

Sophie, who usually preferred staying upstairs and didn’t like going downstairs, drove away in a wheelchair. 

Roger’s eyes regained a playful look, and he smirked with a hand supporting the back of the sofa. He murmured, “Her refusing to show weakness is quite interesting.” In her eyes, if he left her, he would be bullied by others. 

“Well, this game is quite interesting. I can continue playing for a while, Roger thought. Being protected by a woman felt good. 

Soon, it was dark outside. Even though Jasmine was a bit upset at noon, she prepared a large table of delicious dishes in the evening. 

As soon as Sophie came downstairs and saw such a feast, she knew that Thomas must have returned. 

Otherwise, Jasmine, who had always eaten plain and simple food since Sophie married into the Nicholls family, wouldn’t have gone to such lengths with these delicious dishes.

Sophie had always been a thorn in Jasmine’s eyes, but she didn’t care about Sophie and Roger today. She kept her eyes on the kitchen where the dishes were being prepared. 

Sure enough, not long after Sophie and Roger sat down, Thomas and Norman came down from upstairs. 

Damian was on the other side of Norman, and Roger and Thomas supported Norman on both sides. 

Norman looked at Thomas and Damian with a face full of affection. Even someone meeting them for the first time could sense that they must be most favored by Norman. 

Seeing her husband and son accompanying Norman downstairs, Jasmine quickly greeted them, “Norman, did you miss Thomas so much during his absence? You look so happy to see him.” 

Since Sophie married into the family, Jasmine had been quite frustrated. It had been a long time since she had such a glamorous moment. 

Norman glanced at her, and without hiding his smile, said to her, “Yes, and Thomas brought back good news for me.” 

Thomas, skilled in socializing, always managed to secure cooperation during his business trips, almost becoming Norman’s trump card. 

Jasmine’s eyes lit up. “Could it be that he secured the cooperation project with Smartaid Company?” 

Damian immediately smiled and nodded. “Yes.” 

Jasmine was ecstatic. “Oh, my dear! That’s fantastic! It’s a project that top domestic companies have been eyeing! Thomas actually negotiated it successfully?” 

Thomas smiled modestly. “Thanks to Mr. Harris’s support. The cooperation proposals provided by Dad were feasible. So, the negotiations went smoothly. The contract has been signed.” 

Thomas had a triumphant smile, and Damian also looked proud. 

Norman patted Thomas–on the shoulder and said, “Well done, Thomas. I need to reward you for 

this.” 

“Thank you, Grandpa, but I don’t need anything now. Besides, working for the family company is my duty, and I don’t need a reward.” Thomas was extremely humble in front of Norman. 

However, Ronald thought it was a mockery. “Tsk. Thomas indeed lacks nothing. He’s already the vice president of the company, and he can afford houses, cars, and luxury watches 

himself. Grandpa, why not give me something? Thomas doesn’t lack these things, but I do.” 

Before he could finish, Rebecca kicked him under the table and said, “Shut up.” She thought,

‘Doesn’t Ronald see how much Norman favors Thomas today? His sarcasm is simply inappropriate. 

“Mom, I…” Ronald wanted to say more but was directly glared at by Rebecca. He couldn’t help but furrow his brow. He didn’t know what was poor. He thought, ‘Didn’t she tacitly allow me to mock Thomas before? Why doesn’t she let me speak today?” 

Norman glared at him, coldly snorted, and said, “Do you think you deserve it? All you do every day is go out and revel. If you can be like Thomas and contribute something meaningful to the company, I’ll give you a car!” 

Ronald got 

Tupon hearing this 

“Sure! Grandpa, then make me a vice president too. I can also go out and negotiate business deals! As long as I act as the vice president of the Nicholls Group, I guarantee that I can secure many collaborations.” 

Seeing Ronald getting more enthusiastic, Rebecca gave him a slap and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?” 

Ronald became anxious. “Mom, why hit me? Did I say something wrong? Thomas is just taking advantage of the situation! With the identity of the vice president of the Nicholls Group, does he need to make an effort to negotiate collaborations? He’s simply reaping the benefits!” 

Ronald’s words immediately made the atmosphere in the living room awkward. 

Rebecca was furious. She slapped him a few more times and said, “Doesn’t your grandpa know about that? All you do is talk. Get upstairs and don’t ruin everyone’s mood!” 

After receiving a few slaps, Ronald became annoyed. “Fine. I’ll leave! Who wants to attend this hypocritical dinner? It’s something anyone can do. What’s there to boast about?” 

His final words were directed at Thomas. Damian’s and Jasmine’s expressions immediately turned ugly. But before they could react, Ronald knocked over a chair and turned to leave. 

“Norman! Look at Ronald’s attitude!” Jasmine complained, pointing at Ronald’s retreating figure. 

Norman was also stunned, just about to scold him. 

However, before Norman could get angry, Rebecca stood up and said, “You little rascal! You’re getting more and more unruly! I have to give you…” Before she could finish her words, she clutched her chest in pain. 

Humphrey sensed that something was wrong. He exclaimed and quickly supported her. “Rebecca! What’s wrong? Is your heart bothering you?”
