Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 40
Sofia was unaware of the reasons behind Alexander's actions, but she felt a
profound sense of gratitude. As tears warmed her cheeks. Sofia glanced down in
an attempt to regain composure. Sensing her emotions, Alexander reached
across the table and gently took her hand.
Sofia struggled to find the right words to express the mix of gratitude and
confusion within her. He gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, his eyes meeting
hers with understanding. I told you, Sofia,” he said softly. Tm already your
husband. We're in this together.”
Just as the moment seemed to linger, a voice interrupted from across the room.
“Oh, darling, don't listen to him,” a regal voice declared. Sofia turned to see
Eulanda Lockhart-her grandmother, standing near the restaurant entrance.
Eulanda’s stern yet playful gaze was fixed on Alexander. “He’s not your husband
unless I approve of him,” Eulanda declared with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
“Grandmother!” Sofia immediately got up, surprise apparent on her face as she
stared at the woman she hadn't seen for months. Seeing her grandmother in
person made her more emotional, but she didn’t know how to react.
Her grandmother was never the affectionate one-cold, authorituive, and
demanding. She always seemed composed with her perfect bun and elegant
clothing. Her words were sharp, and her gaze chilly.
However, the woman standing not too far away was different. Eulanda was not
wearing her bun. Instead, her shoulder-length hair was down in elegant curls.
Eulanda’s green eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as she surveyed the scene.
The regal posture remained, but there was a warmth in her gaze that Sofia had
never witnessed. Her perfectly styled curls framed a face that still held the grace
of years past, softened by an unexpected gentleness.
Draped in a flowing emerald dress that matched the color of her eyes, Eulanda
seemed to have shed the stern exterior Sofia remembered. The mischievous
twinkle in her eye hinted at a playful side that, until now, had been hidden
beneath layers of formality
“Are you not going to come and greet your grandmother?” Eulanda’s sudden
words made Sofia flinch. This tone was the one that Sofia was very familiar with!
However, for a moment. Sofia was frozen in surprise, unsure of how to respond
to this unexpected transformation in her grandmother.
“Grandmother. Sofia said after a few minutes of silence. “I-1 didn’t know that you
would come...” she then looked at Alexander, who was acting like a tree. Did he
know about this?
“So... he didn't tell you?” Eulanda’s gaze turned towards Alexander.
“Ihe didn’t. Sofia approached Eulanda and kissed her cheek. In the past, the
greeting would have ended right then and there. However, this time, Eulanda
suddenly pulled her into a tight hug
Sofia stood there, speechless, unable to react in time. To be honest, she did not
even know how to react as this was the first time that her grandmother had given
her a hug so tight she could barely breathe!
Just as she felt like she was starting to suffocate, she heard Alexander clear his
throat. “As heartwarming as this- my wife might need to breathe at some point.
Perhaps we should take a seat and continue our reunion with a bu more oxygen
in the air?”
Eulanda? Sofia was surprised to hear him call her by her first name. As far as
Sofia knew, no one, not even Eunice-Eulanda’s daughter and Sofia’s mother-
called her by her first name.
Her grandmother only chuckled in response. Still, she let Sofa go, and the two
went back to the table. Sofia was still slightly flustered as she looked at
Alexander. She was starting to wonder why this man invited her grandmother
here. What was his goal all along?
Chapter 40
“You must be wondering why I came?” Eulanda asked as she gestured for the
waiter to bring her wine:
“Mother is safe ___ she is under the care of Hugo Moore.” Sofia said
Now, why would you think that I just came here because of your mother?”
Eulanda laughed
1- “Sofia awkwardly hit her lower lip. She never had one peaceful interaction with
her grandmother in the past. It was always, Sofia insisting that they take
Charlotte with them or argue with her grandmother as she wanted Eulanda to
treat Charlotte as her real granddaughter.
Suffice it say. Sofia did not know how to handle a conversation like this with her
grandmother. “Isn't it because she is your daughter?” Sofia asked after a few
minutes of silence. At the end of the day, no mother would like to see their
daughter hurt.
“Yet, she never treated me like her mother, Eulanda sneered.
She had always loved you.” Sofia blurted out.
Eulanda sheered. “She loved that man more.
This time. Sofia said nothing. Indeed. Eunice loved Lawrence so much, perhaps
even more than she loved her mother.
“Are you going to ask me why I chose to abandon your mother?” Eulanda asked.
“Isn't it because you thought Lawrence was trying to deceive my mother?” Sofia
asked.
Eulanda shook her head. “Eunice cannot move the stocks just like that. She
would not be able to move the properties without my knowledge as well.”
Then? If it was not about this, then what was the reason behind her
grandmother’s hatred towards Lawrence?
“Lawrence's father was the reason why your grandfather died. Eulanda said as
she accepted the glass of wine that the waiter handed her
