Nancy’s aunt is stimulated by the words of Grandma Ellis. She grabs Nancy’s hand, “Nancy, tell me the truth. What’s your relationship with this boy? Nicholas is such a good man, but you didn’t choose him; instead, you screwed with this boy who is still wet behind the ears. What the hell is in your brain?”
“Mind your words. What’s ‘wet behind the ears’. Our Lawrence is a top student and has obtained dual degrees. At present, he is about to take charge of the Ellis Group and will become the president of the company. He’s superior to the hypocrite beside you in all aspects. Nancy’s aunt, I suggest you to go back to school to learn for a few more years!”
Justin is really worthy of the title of “a man with a sharp tongue”. His words irritate Nancy’s aunt,
You…”
“What do you want to say? Let me tell you the truth. Nancy is pregnant. Lawrence is my bro, and his grandma also comes in person to propose the marriage. We will not allow the child of the Ellis to be raised by someone else!”
“That’s true. The child of the Ellis must be raised in the Ellis family,” Grandma Ellis also chimes in.
Nancy’s aunt is livid and her face gets dark with rage. She suddenly stands up and says to Nancy in an exasperated and disappointed tone, “Nancy, did I do something bad to you? Now that you have a boyfriend, you should have told us before. Then this award situation won’t happen. Do you think it reasonable?”
Nancy cannot say anything and can just give her an award smile. She even wants to dig a hole on the ground to hide herself.
Nancy’s aunt shifts her gaze on Nicholas and says helplessly, “Nicholas, you also see this. I can’t be your matchmaker. I want to come back.”
Nancy’s aunt flounces out of the house in a huff. Nancy can just waves her hand and says goodbye to her, “Goodbye, aunt.”
“Bang!” The door is slammed closed, making a loud sound. Mrs. Moore, who hides and eavesdrops in the kitchen, is startled and feels her blood freezes.
Nicholas doesn’t expect that things would get to be so awkward. Inevitably, his gaze towards Nancy gets a bit gloomy; however, in order to maintain his dignity, he holds back his anger and stands up, “Nancy, I hope this is not a decision made on impulse. Of course, if you whole-heartedly choose him, then I wish you happiness.”
As he is speaking, he reaches out his hand to Nancy, intending to bury the hatchet by shaking hands.
Nancy looks down at his hand, and hesitates to reach out her hand.
However, her hand is grasped by Lawrence. His big hand wraps her small hand tightly. He pulls her into his arms and gives a smile to Nicholas, “Sorry Mr. Nicholas, I really mind it. I don’t like someone to touch my girlfriend’s hand.
Nicholas face gets gloomy. He can’t suppress his anger anymore and stands up and strides away in a huff, not even giving them a “goodbye”.
“Bang!” The door is slammed closed again. Upon hearing the sound, everyone present can’t help but recoil.
“Emm…Heh-heh… Have you had lunch? My wife is good at cooking. Let her cooking some dishes for you!” Mr. Moore sighs in heart. He doesn’t want to have such an awkward experience again.
But Grandma Ellis doesn’t mind the things happened just now. She motions to Nancy and shoulders Lawrence aside. Then she holds the hand of Nancy and keeps stroking it, “It seems I met you before.”
If she isn’t an old lady, but someone else who strokes her hand in this way, Nancy would have slapped he!
“Heh-heh, yes, we met before.” Nancy smiles awkwardly. Lawrence’s grandma is taking advantage of her identity as an elder.
“Oh, it comes to be that we all took a fancy to a belly-band styled cloth for babies in the supermarket that day. It is the destiny that ties us together! We even like the same thing!”
It looks like that Grandma Ellis likes Nancy so much. Mr. Moore sighs in relief. Luckily, the thing happened just now doesn’t mess this up.
“Ting-Tong!” The doorbell rings again. And they think it might be Nancy’s aunt or Nicholas Shawn who left just now.
Mr. Moore shaking his head helplessly and walks towards the door. However, he is stunned again and stands there unmoved.
