Chapter 928: Henpecked
After mentioning the child in Finn Chandler’s belly, The Eldest Master Ford’s attitude immediately changed.
"This child, does Dad really want her to abort it!"
Julian Ford smiled and asked The Eldest Master Ford again, "I just don’t know how many more years you’ll have to wait to hold a grandchild after the abortion! Maybe your son will be so heartbroken, he’ll never want one in this lifetime."
He said it in a joking tone, but The Eldest Master Ford heard it as "alarming and nerve-wracking."
The Eldest Master Ford knew his son’s nature.
Not willing to find someone for so many years, and finally found one. If opposed due to him, he’d become the family sinner of The Ford Family.
After thinking it over, The Eldest Master Ford held his red wine without making a sound.
"Mom has met Finn!"
"What did your mom say?"
The Eldest Master Ford asked, looking up.
"She’s very satisfied."
"Oh!"
The Eldest Master Ford replied indifferently, "As long as she’s satisfied."
Looking at Finn Chandler again, he wasn’t that picky.
The change in The Eldest Master Ford made Finn Chandler feel something was off. According to the routine, The Eldest Master Ford doesn’t like her. Shouldn’t he be disgusted to the end, using the authority of an elder or the power of The Ford Corporation to threaten Julian Ford to break up with her?
How come just mentioning "grandchild" and a "Wife of the Eldest Master Ford’s agreement," he gave up so easily without principles.
"Eat up."
The Eldest Master Ford said once again, changing his mind instantly, and started hosting Finn Chandler.
Julian Ford smiled at Finn Chandler, helping her with the dishes. If The Eldest Master Ford was really so difficult, he wouldn’t have brought Finn Chandler over today to suffer.
He only brought her over for a meal, knowing The Eldest Master Ford was easy to convince.
Fiona Ford remained on the sidelines, seeing The Eldest Master Ford no longer targeting Finn Chandler, feeling deep resentment. All her efforts over these days were resolved by that child in the belly.
She couldn’t help but purse her lips to make her smile appear more, afraid that Julian Ford and The Eldest Master Ford might notice something, but in the moments when neither of the two men were watching, she glared coldly at Finn Chandler, her eyes shooting more fiercely towards Finn’s small belly.
Despite the initial difficulties and disapproval from The Eldest Master Ford and the hidden loathing in Fiona’s eyes, Finn Chandler enjoyed the meal quite happily.
After dinner, she and Julian Ford left first. As soon as they got into the car, Finn couldn’t help but ask.
"Your dad clearly didn’t like me at first, how did a few words from you change his mind?"
"My dad is afraid of my mom."
"Hmm?"
In matters of the major families in Solaria, Finn Chandler didn’t know much.
She was most familiar with The Grant Family and The Lockwood Family before, which had to do with Serena Sullivan.
The Ford Family was much more mysterious compared to these two, she just knew The Ford Corporation was now controlled by Julian Ford.
"The last generation’s head of The Ford Corporation wasn’t my dad."
"Hmm, was it your grandfather?"
Finn Chandler asked in confusion.
It’s understandable, like how The Chambers Family skipped Mr. Chambers.
Mr. Chambers was hard to undertake big responsibilities, her grandfather chose among the younger generation, eventually picking her.
"My mom."
Julian Ford replied with a smile.
Listening to Julian’s words, Finn recalled Mrs. Ford.
Mrs. Ford gave a very cool and detached impression.
"But your dad also seemed like he managed The Ford Corporation."
The oppressive aura exuded by The Eldest Master Ford, that’s what those in power should have.
"They managed it together." Julian Ford patiently explained, "It’s just that at home, it’s my mom who calls the shots."
The Ford Corporation had an economic crisis back then, Wife of the Eldest Master Ford married into The Ford Family with a huge dowry, and to show sincerity, they gave half of the shares as a bride price.
Because of this relationship, The Ford Corporation ended up being managed by both The Eldest Master Ford and Wife of the Eldest Master Ford.
On the surface, it seemed to be managed by The Eldest Master Ford, but major decisions were actually made by Mrs. Ford. At home, it’s the same.
