Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen
Chapter 82

"It must have been really hard for you", Madam Vanessa Sy was holding Veronica's hands while softly looking at her in the eyes, as it's the only way where she can show how grateful and at the same time regretful she was.

Although the Sy Madam was finally enlightened about the whole situation from the past which Veronica told her earlier.

Veronica on the other hand made sure to emit some information as it's better that the Sy Madam donot to know about them, at least for now.

The madam tightened yet gently held Veronica's hands with sincere, gratefulness in her eyes.

"If I were to be honest, it has been, Mom. Much that the twins weren't the average as they've inherited them being genius from their father. But thankfully, my family has been nothing but helpful to me and supported me all throughout so I never really realized about it until maybe, if I am to look back all those years. But well,....the twins, they're my biggest treasure in the world

and I wouldn't have it any other way around", Veronica answered sincerely, expressing what she really felt as to reciprocate the sincerity of the Sy Madame. Madame Vanessa Sy closed her eyes and heaved another sigh of relief. Once she opened them, her eyes stared once again directly at Veronica with clarity.

"Thank you so much Veronica. Thank you. Thank you for making my son happy. Thank you for the twins. You're a beautiful, wonderful and amazing kind of a woman and I won't accept any other woman in my son's life as my daughter in law. Not because you gave me my grandchildren which I have always longed for but because I can feel that you are nothing but a good natured woman. I can see it in your eyes. Although I can also see that you're still hiding

something from me and even maybe to Rawlf, but just know Veronica, as long as it's not

harming my son, as long as it's because you do it to protect yourself and my grandchildren, I would no doubt accept it all. I already did. You are my daughter now. Always remember."

Hearing these beautiful words, Veronica smiled at the Sy Madam and initiated to embrace the older woman.

"Thank you mom. I really appreciate it."

"Grammah, why ah u living sepatly( separately) from daddeh??!" Baelfair, who was enjoying being on Sy Madame's lap turned to look at her with her round, dewy eyes.

The Sy Madame who saw this, clasped her chest with her free left hand,

"My, my, my granddaughter is just too adorable and beautiful," she thought.

She lowered her head to level Baelfair's cheek and kissed her on it.

"Gradma has her own house, princess and also people to take care of separate from your dad's people." The Sy Madame see it fit to call Fair as princess because indeed, the little girl is a real life princess The daughter of Rawlf Sy, the granddaughter of the ice queen of Country P's elite society, and the princess of Sy International! Truly a living, adorable and most beautiful princess!!

Bailfair just went to look at her grandmother with the kind of pensive expression, then nodded her eyes as if understanding, of which she really did, making the Sy Madame all the more go crazy and in love with her granddaughter.

The Sy Madame then turned her attention to the grandson, sitting in front of her and Baelfair. Unlike Baelfair who instantly warmed up to her after confirming her identity, Baelfire on the other hand just became aloof and chose to sit across them after Rawlf and Veronica left her to bond and enjoy her moments with her grandchildren. Madame Vanessa Sy could see clearly that her grandson wanted to ask something and was only hesitant so she tried to urge him.

"Baelfire, grandson, is there something you would like to ask grandma?" Baelfire who heard, sheepishly smiled yet asked right away.

"Grandma, how about Grandpa?" The little boy asked curiously. "Oh yesh! Wheh (where) ish grampa, granmma?"

Madame Vanessa's smile faltered after hearing both her grandchildren ask for the existence of that bastard of a man. But she recovered instantly and smiled once again.

"Grandpa is sick, children. He is off somewhere far to recover his health", The Sy Madam lied in a straight face. It's better to lie than to include the young children from the conflict between her and her husband who unfortunately happened to be their grandfather.

At least, she still protect that man in front of their grandchildren and didn't put dirt on his name. "Ohh, so we won't be eybeh (able) to see grampa as of the mawmennt!?"

"Not yet, princess. But maybe as soon as he's back to health, he'll visit both of you." The Sy Madam smiled gently.

"Will he wyk(like) us too gramma?"

"Yes! Of course! In fact, he will be ecstatic if he discovers that he has grandchildren. Beautifu and handsome and smart grandchildren!!" The Sy Madame exclaimed with great enthusiasm as she showered Baelfair's face with kisses out of which, the little girl giggled profusely.

"Baelfire, come here. Don't you want to play with grandma?"

Baelfire being called out let himself be pulled inside their newly found grandmother's warm embrace.

The grandmother and grandchildren played together for a longer moment and the giggling of the children and the joyful laughter of the Sy Madam filled the atmosphere of the room.

That day was the most beautiful for someone like Madam Vanessa Sy who lived almost thirty years of her life in sorrow, pain and self-pity out of her husband's incessant infidelity. But she finally let go of it all right after making sure of her only son's position in the company after he took over Sy International.

Yes, to everyone in high society, the infidelities of the patriarch of Sy International was nothing for the Sy matriarch, the Sy Madam, that's also one thing why she was being called as the 'ice queen' because of her unbothered character, yet,....deep inside her, the Sy Madam was suffering from the depressive emotional pain and no one knew anything about it, even her own son. Despite it all, she loved that bastard.

She loved that man. The man who in their younger days promised her the world, which was the Sy Corporation, eventually turned into Sy International.

The man who devoted himself to her at the earliest years of their marriage yet then changed afterwards.

The betrayal continued one after the other and the Sy Madam who was really hurt at the first one changed as well without knowing it herself and no longer showed any emotions towards her husband, or so her desired facade. Although within the corners of her separate room, she was hurting.

When Rawlf took over Sy International, that's also when Sy Madame moved out to a separate mansion in the suburbs without even telling the Sy patriarch who she believed, wouldn't even care because of his inexhaustible mistresses fighting for his attention.

Later, the Sy Madam would just hear that her husband moved to a far mountainous area somewhere and only shrugged off her shoulder.

"Maybe the pig wanted to enjoy his dirt somewhere far." She would catch herself saying while having herself pampered.
