Nelly’s voice echoed through the room, her words dripping with contempt. “Moreover, C is the first letter of the word ‘cheater,’ and the mistresses are shameful people, are they not?”
As she uttered those words, Alpha Kilian’s eyes took on a sinister gleam.
Undeterred, Nelly continued, “That’s why I’ve given the name starting with a C to the dog we have overseas. Its name is Chester.”
Alpha Kilian was left speechless, unsure of how to respond.
He couldn’t help but feel the intensity of Nelly’s disdain towards him in that moment, evident in the way she named the dog. Yet, strangely, he felt no anger.
Her words served as a reminder that she hadn’t forgotten their shared history, and that realization kept him from sinking into a foul mood.
With a smile, Alpha Kilian gazed at her. “Then, will you be reminded of that terrible past whenever you interact with your dog?”
Nelly replied, her smile remaining intact. “I’ve learned to let go of the matter after having to face it every day.”
“Is that so?” Alpha Kilian could sense that Nelly understood what he was truly trying to uncover. She flashed him a knowing smile and teased, “But I’ve forgotten that you quite like this, Alpha Morris. I don’t think you’ll think the same way as I do.”
A pained grimace etched itself onto Alpha Kilian’s face. “Nelly, does it pain you to not launch personal attacks against me?”
Nelly corrected him, her smile unwavering. “I’m simply stating the facts.”
In that moment, as Alpha Kilian stared at her smiling face, he couldn’t help but get lost in his thoughts.
Despite her biting remarks, there was a sweetness to her smile. Her fair face was untouched by makeup, her skin as smooth as a newborn’s, and her long dark hair cascaded down her shoulders gracefully.
She was undeniably alluring.
Alpha Kilian often found himself transported to a different world whenever he gazed at her face.
Suddenly, he seized her wrist and pulled her closer to him, catching Nelly off guard. As she looked up at him, her brow furrowed in confusion.
“Alpha Kilian, what do you think you’re doing?” Discontentment shimmered in her innocent eyes.
Ignoring her question, Alpha Kilian continued to stare at her intently before whispering, “Nelly, I must admit that I’ve been a despicable person to you in the past. But the truth is, you’ve never truly known who I am.”
Nelly narrowed her eyes, contemplating his words.
Her gaze shifted from side to side, causing Alpha Kilian’s heart to skip a beat.
He studied every feature of her face until his eyes settled on her delicate pink lips.
Alpha Kilian gulped, his eyes darkening.
Just then, the door swung open, interrupting the tender moment.
“Nelly!” Donna’s voice rang out from outside.
Nelly snapped back to reality upon hearing her daughter’s voice. Glancing at Alpha Kilian, she hastily moved away from him.
But it was too late, Donna had already witnessed their intimate exchange.
Uh… Are Daddy and Mommy kissing? Is everything moving too quickly? Did I come at the wrong time?
Clearing her throat, Nelly tried to regain composure.
Unfazed, Alpha Kilian smiled at Donna. “You’re back, Donna.”
“Yes, I am!” Donna nodded, attempting to play it cool.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that she had returned at an inopportune moment.
But I shouldn’t just leave now, that wouldn’t be right.
Before she could dwell further on her thoughts, Alpha Wade and Alpha King Larry barged into the ward, engrossed in a heated argument.
“Hmph! No matter what you say- no matter whether they’re a Morris or a Jackson- they’re still my great-grandchildren!” Alpha King Larry huffed.
“Whatever. They’re a Jackson anyway. Say whatever you want,” Alpha Wade grumbled.
The two elderly men continued their quarrel until they spotted Nelly and Alpha Kilian in the room.
“Nelly, the kids are back,” Alpha King Larry chuckled.
“Thank you, Alpha King Larry,” Nelly replied, her smile unfaltering.
“I was the one who picked them up, why are you thanking him? Besides, how many times has he actually picked them up?” Alpha Wade complained.
“Y-You…” Nelly began but was quickly interrupted.
“Grandpa, remember we’re at a hospital,” Alpha Kilian reminded him.
Understanding the unspoken request for silence, Alpha King Larry shot Alpha Kilian a resentful look but finally relented.
Nelly spoke up, “Alpha King Larry, you’ll have more opportunities to do so in the future.”
The dark expression on Alpha King Larry’s face softened slightly. “You’re the best, Nelly.”
He glanced at Alpha Wade but quickly shifted his gaze towards Alpha Kilian.
Friend? Grandson? They’re all useless!
Just then, Ben noticed Nelly and approached her. “Nelly, you’re hurt again? What happened?” His expression turned angry.
Finally realizing the new injuries on Nelly, Donna’s heart clenched with pain. “Nelly, you’re hurt again…”
Nelly reassured them with a smile. “It’s nothing. Just a minor injury.”
“That’s what you always say,” Donna muttered.
Hearing those words, Alpha Kilian turned to look at Nelly, his gaze growing serious.
Every time… How many times has she been hurt? What has she gone through all these years?
For reasons he couldn’t comprehend, his heart ached.
Both Alpha King Larry and Alpha Wade heard the child’s words as well.
Nelly had always shielded her grandfather from the hardships she faced, only sharing the good news with him. Yet, Alpha Wade knew that Nelly had endured a difficult life, even if she never explicitly spoke about it.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
But to hear it from the lips of a child was particularly heartbreaking.
Even a child understands the hardships she endures.
With that realization, tears welled up in Alpha Wade’s eyes as he lowered his gaze.
Alpha King Larry furrowed his brow, his sympathy for Nelly growing.
Meanwhile, Nelly remained unfazed, casually announcing, “I have something to tell all of you!”
Ben and Donna looked at her eagerly, awaiting her words.
But just as Nelly was about to speak, a knock echoed through the door.
All eyes turned towards the entrance in unison.
Alpha Wade stood up and opened the door. “Who are you looking for?”
Caroline asked, “Is Alpha Kilian here?”
Alpha Wade nodded and stepped aside, allowing them to enter.
Caroline and Lara stepped in with bags in their hands, but upon spotting the gathered crowd, a malicious glint flashed in Lara’s eyes.
In that moment, her fists clenched tightly.
