Henry cleared his throat reluctantly and squeezed Ellie"s hand to rea.s.sure her. "Ellie, this is my Uncle Wallace"s wife. Wallace is one ofWong Industries board members and has worked for my father as his right hand for probably over twenty years. He"s a very valued member of my team. Dorota, this is my wife. Her name is Ellie Chen." Henry was careful to not directly introduce her because in this situation he deemed it wise not to make the scene too close contact.

"But I"ll have you know that he is neither grateful nor kind. Henry, who is this woman you"ve found. She"s not from our society. How will she understand our ways? She is a complete n.o.body that you have thrown to the wolves. A young child out with no one to protect her.
Ellie gave a fake smile before bowing deeply. "I understand your concerns that Henry did not marry a society lady of your choice. I"m sure with his intelligence and kindness and patience that he probably could have chosen any number of very wealthy women to hold my place.

Her husband was stone cold with surprise as she said all of this so Ellie nudged his side and tried to be discreet with a wink at him so that he could play along. "I think with your superior maternal instinct that you know that no woman could really understand your nephew the way that you do.

He looked at her adoringly before warmly adding, "Ellie love, you don"t have to say such things. You are worth more than all of those women combined. I"m so lucky to have met such a capable young lady to bear me beautiful children and keep this house clean like a proper wife." He put her hand next to his face and leaned into it positively purring
