His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 576

Chapter 576

"Nothing. I think she's just in a bad mood." With a shrug, Arianna turned to grin at Eloise. Mom, didn't you say that you were preparing desserts?"

"You're still a little pig, aren't you? Aren't you worried about gaining weight?" Eloise lectured.

However, she still beckoned a housekeeper to bring over the desserts she had prepared. Speaking of which, didn't you say you have a boyfriend now? Who is it? Why didn't you bring him home for me to see? "We broke up," Arianna replied nonchalantly.

Eloise was stunned. "Broke up? Why did you two break up out of nowhere? Didn't you just say that you wanted to bring him-"

"Oh, you know how we young people are, Mom. It's normal for us to fall in and out of love. If we don't feel like we're fit, we'll break it off," Arianna said with a wave of her hand. "Mom, don't worry. I'll ensure the guy I bring home will be the best son-in-law you'll ever have."

Seeing how unconcerned she was, Eloise sighed. "How can I not worry? Your dad is going to marry that woman..." she trailed off.

It was frustrating even to think about it.

At this moment, Arianna stopped eating and turned to look at her mother. "Is he really marrying her? Did Uncle Derrick agree to this? Does he not bear us in mind?!"

"You know how your father is. Once he has his mind set on something, no one can change it." When Eloise said this, her stern face was now replaced with a hint of sadness. "At the end of the day, I didn't give birth to a son, so..."

“I"

"What does it matter if you don't have a son?!" Arianna was furious. "Uncle Derrick has a son, but can that son take over the family business? I've done so many things for the company all these years, yet I am still inferior to a guy? Which part of me is incomparable to that sc*mbag my dad had with some other woman? I..."

"Arianna!" Eloise called out to her. She was taken aback as she had never seen Arianna like this.

Hearing her name, Arianna quickly came back to her senses and cleared her throat. "What I'm saying is, this is not your fault. This is all dad's fault. He has wronged you."

Eloise looked deeply at her daughter before reaching out and pulling Arianna into her arms. Then, Eloise gently stroked her hair with one hand. "I know how capable and sensible you are. I blame myself that you're not a son. If you are, everything in the Tanner family will fall onto your lap."

"Mom, why can't I do it as a woman? Why is it that just because I am a woman, the livelihood. of the Tanner family must be borne by some outsider? Why?" When Arianna looked up at Eloise, Eloise noticed a light in Arianna's eyes that she had never seen before.

Although Eloise was a little startled by this side of her daughter, she was also moved by what Arianna said. "You're right. However, your dad..."

"Mom, how would dad act if he didn't have a son outside?" Arianna suddenly asked.

"Arianna, what are you talking about?!" A chill ran down Eloise's spine when she looked at the daughter, who now seemed like someone she didn't recognize.

"Nothing. I'm just asking. What can I do? I'm just a girl, after all."

Arianna stuck her tongue out before she pulled herself away from Eloise and continued eating. Eloise watched Arianna eat unhurriedly. There was nothing out of the ordinary. However, Arianna suddenly stopped eating and thought out loud. "I read a book the other day about how people die unexpectedly every day. I've also learned that the rate of accidental deaths is very high. Do you think something might happen to that woman and her son?"
