Soon Marina followed Claudia to the outside. A little girl in a pink dress stood alone on the garden path. She lowered her head and held the hemline of her dress tightly.
Marina staggered and reached out to hide her from the scorching sun. In her heart, she cursed the female lead countless times who was really making trouble. She couldn’t stand the scorching sun for a while, let alone a child.
She walked quickly to the front of Nicole, and Nicole just raised her head and looked at Marina with his big wet eyes. She bit her lower lip, with timidity in her eyes.
When Nicole looked up, Marina took a breath. She was so beautiful that she was like a porcelain doll. She had fair skin and bright eyes, and her hair was black like silk. She thought that if Nicole stood here any longer, she would have heatstroke.
Marina didn’t dare to act too solicitously. She was afraid that the little girl would feel uncomfortable. She straightened her back and coughed twice. “Okay, let’s go to lunch.”
On the way here, Marina learned from Claudia that in the morning, Nicole picked up the female lead’s favorite roses in the yard and gave them to the female lead, but she was scolded by the female lead and asked to stand in the sun.
Marina, who had just turned around, felt that something behind her was pulling her. She looked down in confusion. Her nightdress was grabbed by Nicole’s fair hands. “What’s up?”
Seeing the roses on the flower bed that the little girl was pointing at, she sighed, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll just plant new ones in a few days.”
It turned out that the little girl was worried about the roses that had been pulled out. Although the female lead liked roses very much, Marina didn’t like them very much. Besides, compared with the dead stuff, Nicole could melt her heart when she looked at Marina.
“Alright. Let’s go back and have lunch together.” Claudia was the happiest. She bent down and picked up Nicole, walking ahead.
Marina curled her lips and thought, ‘Nicole was my child, I haven’t even hugged him yet.’
She glanced at the bloodstains on her nightdress after she withdrew her sight. And then she looked up at the large garden and the magnificent villa at the other end of the garden, sneering.
The villa on the other side of the garden was the main house of the Langdon family. The house with two bedrooms and one living room here was a bit like a servant’s house which belonged to Colin and his wife.
Later, the Langdon family became rich and built a super magnificent villa in the front. Then the house was unoccupied. After Ryder married the female lead, the female lead made a lot of trouble, quarreling with others every day. She also instigated the family relationship. Under the pressure of Colin, Ryder locked her here.
Apart from Claudia, who occasionally came back to see the female lead in the main house, Nicole came to visit her every few days. Even if she was grounded by the female lead, she still wanted to visit her.
Nicole did not know how to speak since she was a child. Thus, although the female lead grounded her, Nicole did not resist, which made the female lead even more unscrupulous. Once she grounded Nicole for a week. Ryder knew it and restricted Marie to the outside.
Marina could understand Nicole’s thought that one always loved his mother despite being grounded. Children who lacked maternal love since childhood always liked to get close to their mother over and over again. Even if they were hurt countless times, they would not give up. They always felt that one day, their mother would love them.
It was probably because her heart had been broken so many times that Nicole had finally sent her to the deserted island to be imprisoned.
However, Nicole and Ryder were really scheming. For the good of her mother and everyone, Nicole sent his mother to the deserted island for retirement. She just didn’t want to see her mother. While Ryder drugged his wife every day without telling Nicole, he happened to follow his daughter’s plan and sent her away. Not long after, he said that Marie “died of illness”, hiding the truth.
Although the female lead deserved to die, these two people were really evil.
“You didn’t eat lunch, either. Come over and eat lunch together.” Claudia called Marina as she let Nicole help herself.
Reaching out to rub her flat belly, Marina was indeed a little hungry. Just as Marina sat down, she looked at Nicole’s big black eyes. Seeing Marina looking at her, Nicole quickly lowered her head and ate.
Marina smiled and shook her head. Looking at Nicole’s clumsy appearance, she stood up to take the medicine box and sat next to her. “Show me your hands.”
The little girl looked at her in fear. She clenched the spoon and pursed her lips.
Looking at her reaction, it was obvious that the female lead had done something very terrible to her, which might have left her a psychological shadow.
“Your hands were injured. I have to treat it quickly so that it won’t get infected,” she said in a gentle tone.
“Nicole, did you get injured? Don’t scare me.” Claudia put down the bowl and chopsticks in shock.
“Her hands were probably stabbed when she picked up the flowers in the morning.” Marina took out saline water and iodine. Seeing the little girl stretch out her tender hands with timidity, she smiled and began to treat the wounds.
“Marina, you have to be gentle.” When Claudia saw the wounds, she felt very painful. If Ryder saw the bruises intertwined on her fair and tender hands, he would definitely lose his temper.
When Marina painted iodine on Nicole’s wounds, Nicole withdrew her hand. “Does it hurt?” Marina raised her head and looked at Nicole who was frowning.
Nicole shook her head firmly. “Not only does it not hurt, but it is very warm. Marie’s hands were so warm.
Marina carefully wrapped it up with gauze and said, “Don’t wash the wounds these days.” After thinking for a while, he continued, “Remember to get someone to change it for you.”
Ryder’s little darling lived in the main room. So she couldn’t help her change it, so she could only let her turn to her servant to change it.
“If Ryder sees it, I have to…” Claudia spoke halfway and paused immediately. She observed Marina’s look carefully. Seeing that Marina was not furious, she was relieved.
In the past, they had a good relationship. They were in the same dormitory in college. Since Marina married Ryder, their relationship was not so good. Moreover, if Claudia mentioned Ryder in front of Marie, Marie would be angry with her.
From the moment she came in today, she found that it seemed to be different. Marie did not get angry when she mentioned Ryder, let alone her attitude towards Nicole. It was simply unbelievable.
“Marina, are you…”
“What’s up?” Seeing that Nicole couldn’t eat by herself, Marina picked up the bowl and fed her. This was the first time that she fed a child, which was very surprising.
“Are you plotting something?” It was normal that Claudia had this idea. Everyone who saw what Marina had done would have the same thought.
Every time she compromised with a good attitude, there would be great trouble, letting Ryder handle the mess.
Looking at the curious eyes of Nicole in front of her, and her cute appearance like a squirrel, Marina was greatly attracted by Nicole’s cute appearance. She was really cute.
She had dreamed of having a very cute mixed-blood child in the future. Although this child was not mixed-blood, she was very cute.
How could the female lead have the heart to ground such a cute girl?
“What am I thinking about? Shouldn’t I be good to my daughter?”
