Nydia was caught in a dilemma, should she tell Tavish about the divorce.
It didn’t seem like it could be hidden for long, sooner or later it was going to be known, and knowing it then might have a bigger impact.
“Tavish, it’s more complicated between daddy and mommy.” That’s all she could say.
Tavish’s eyes instantly dimmed, and these beautiful eyes instantly looked like they were covered with a layer of gray.
“So, daddy and mommy are still getting a divorce?”
Nydia took a deep breath and decided to speak more clearly to save Tavish from having to guess for himself.
“It’s like this, the night mommy came back, daddy proposed a divorce and prepared a divorce agreement, I didn’t sign it at the time, agreed to sign it three months later, and then your daddy now reversed himself and doesn’t want a divorce, that’s probably the one thing.”
“Daddy’s backtracking?” Another glint appeared in Tavish’s eyes, which were rounded like two large bushels of grapes.
“He seems to have reversed himself, but your daddy would have … been bad to say.”
Tavish seemed to see hope again, or at least not so frustrated anymore.
“Then what are your thoughts, Mommy? Do you want a divorce if daddy doesn’t want one?”
This question again put Nydia in a difficult position.
In fact, she was tempted to say that if Jesse didn’t want a divorce, she probably couldn’t get one.
Just like the previous five years, she wanted to divorce countless times, Jesse just bit the bullet and did not divorce, she had no way.
Headache.
So she just gave Tavish an open answer, “What do you think?”
After that she stroked Tavish’s head and walked away.
Well, actually she kind of got away, Tavish was too smart to fool around with.
She sent a message to Vergil asking if Jesse had eaten dinner. Vergil’s reply did not surprise Nydia, Jesse really did not eat.
Once upset Jesse would torture himself in every way possible.
So it was crucial that she sleep in which bedroom tonight.
Not long after lying down, she heard a movement and thought she would pretend to sleep.
Jesse entered and froze when he saw Nydia in bed.
His movements slowed down a bit, and then he went into the bathroom.
Nydia, lying on the bed, opened her eyes and wondered if she should continue to pretend to sleep or talk to Jesse later.
But it seems that there is nothing to talk about.
So she fell asleep thinking about it.
When she was dazed, she felt someone hugged and kissed her, but it was only a kiss, and then it was dawn.
“Jesse, good morning, when did you get back last night?” She was the first to speak up to break the awkward atmosphere.
“I came back after you fell asleep.”
“…” Isn’t that nonsense?
Nydia shut up in due course, the atmosphere still seemed a little awkward, but she couldn’t care less, whatever she liked.
As long as it’s not a complete flip-flop, after all, the last period of administering needles is very important.
“Going to the Pascall Manor today for Christmas Eve.” Jesse said.
“Okay, do you want me to come over and cook?” I’d have to be there early if I was cooking.
“No.”
Okay, otherwise she’d be busy all day and her mother-in-law would be picky.
“Still no movement from the Butler family? Still in the hotel?”
“Well, still at the hotel.”
That would be so strange, still spending Christmas Eve in a hotel? That’s very much not in line with the traditional thinking of the older generation, especially the rural ones.
Such a major holiday is certainly expected to be spent at home.
“Is it possible to start with the little fat boy? That kid is obviously spoiled, maybe induce two sentences and he will say some useful information.”
“Hmm.”
“And that girl, Brian, it’s kind of sad to spend Christmas Eve by herself, why don’t you let her come and stay at the house?” Nydia was worried that Jesse would be angry, in fact she was thinking that if her own mother was there, she would be helping the girl.
“Whatever you want, but you can’t come with us to the Pascall Manor .”
“No problem.” Nydia cheered up and gave Jesse a big smile, “cripple is the best.”
Take this time to lighten the mood and pretend that what happened before never happened.
Jesse didn’t say anything, but his face did soften a bit.
She immediately took Molly and Tavish out with her to find Brian, who she did know where he was.
Brian was now washing dishes at a restaurant, a small diner that wasn’t going to do Christmas Eve dinner, so they let Brian go.
“Although you said you don’t need to pay for your work, but still give you some, you can find a small hotel to stay for a few days.”
“Thanks boss!” Brian knew that the boss family had been too kind to take herself in, she was still too young.
After loading the money she walked down the road, thinking about where to stay for the night.
The car next to her dripped, she didn’t pay attention at first, and only when the second sound she turned her head to find the window down and it was actually Nydia inside, she froze and stopped in her tracks.
The car also stopped.
“Get in.” Nydia said to her.
She was a little scared, guessing what Nydia was up to, and how did Nydia know she was here?
But on second thought, if Nydia really wanted to do something to her, she didn’t seem to be able to resist, or even know where to run to, and she had seen the Butlers run to Nydia earlier to make a scene about her disappearance.
Once she got in the car, she saw two cute kids, and the warm air in the car instantly warmed up her cold hands and feet.
“Hello sister.” Molly greeted first.
“Hello, you guys.” She spoke with some stuttering.
“I’ll take you guys to eat first, what do you want to eat?”
“Mommy, I want to eat pizza.” Molly answered positively.
“What about Brian?”
“I’m all good.” She had no comment.
Nydia drove to a Western restaurant and chose a nice seat.
“Just order whatever you want.”
Brian ordered the cheapest thing and then stopped ordering, but Nydia ordered a lot, not to mention Molly.
“I’m looking for you, I want to talk to you about a few things, you listen and think about it and give me an answer.”
“It’s Christmas Eve, you can stay at my house and have dinner with the maids at my house because we’re going to the kids’ grandmother’s house.”
“If you want to continue your education, I’ll send you to school in Zinamosa, attend boarding school there and change your name.”
“The last thing is that if you get ahead, don’t be a help-dog demon, but go and realize your own values.”
After hearing all this Brian was confused and couldn’t react for a long time.
“Mommy, what’s a Fu Di Demon?” Molly asked curiously.
“It’s when you don’t care about your own life spending all your money and energy on your brother and making a mess of your own life.”
Molly cocked her head and looked at Tavish after thinking about it, “Brother, how about you being half a brother-supporting demon?”
Pfft!
Nydia and Tavish were both amused by Molly’s idea.
“Silly Molly!” Nydia said to Brian after wiping the corner of Molly’s mouth, “You still have time to think about it, we’re ready to go home now, do you want to come with us?”
Brian nodded.
Once back at the Pascall Villa, Nydia asked Emma to show Brian to her room.
Nydia, on the other hand, changed Molly and Tavish’s clothes and then followed Jesse to the Pascall Villa old house.
“Why are you so late? Come and help!” Rosalind called out when she saw Nydia.
Jesse said, “I brought the cook here.”
Rosalind suddenly blackened her face, “Jesse, are you going to fight with your mother on Christmas Eve?”
