Aware that Ben and Nelly were forcibly trying to compensate for their slip of the tongue, Alpha Kilian lowered his eyes and took a bite of the eggs. The taste was typical, nothing extraordinary. When he noticed Nelly eating with relish, he remarked, “Don’t eat anymore. I’ll order breakfast.” Nelly lifted her eyes and drawled, “There’s no need to order for me. I’m not picky, so this is pretty good for me.” “You don’t have to order for me either, Daddy! I find the food passable as well!” Donna chimed in. “I’ve got enough, too,” Tony echoed. Ben said nothing but used his actions to indicate that he didn’t need any more food either.
At the sight of them all eating with gusto, the corners of Alpha Kilian’s mouth inexorably curved upward. Turning his gaze to the breakfast fare in front of him, he suddenly felt that it was quite good. Right that moment, Donna leaned close to him. “Daddy, your cooking is far better than Nelly’s!”
Just as Alpha Kilian wanted to pursue that subject further, Nelly feigned a cough. “Badmouthing people is to be done behind their backs.”
Hearing that, Donna furtively stuck out her tongue. She didn’t continue speaking but buried her head in the food. As Alpha Kilian gazed at the children and Nelly, he knew that he had really missed out on a lot of meaningful moments. In the future, I’ve got to use more time to make up for all the time I missed. He then continued eating breakfast. Despite the average taste, his elegant movements perfected the ambience of the breakfast.
Right then, Tony was scrolling through his phone. When he glimpsed a piece of news, his eyes abruptly widened. In the next second, he snagged the remote control and turned on the television.
A piece of news with a video was being broadcasted on television.
“Yesterday afternoon, two people were found at the center of the river, with their hands bound. They seemed to have been in the water for a long time. At present, they are still unconscious. As for further details, we’ll only know after they regain consciousness…”
In the video, the rescue team fished Hans and Lara out of the river. Both of them had passed out. There was even an ambulance at the scene. After they were rescued, they were taken to the hospital right away.
The entire family watched that scene as they enjoyed breakfast.
“How lucky of them that they’re still alive!” Ben muttered, his eyes brimming with hatred and resentment.
“They can only be punished and atone for their sins better when they’re still alive!” Alpha Kilian asserted, his gaze turning solemn.
Tony cast Alpha Kilian a sidelong glance, but the man averted his gaze directly and continued eating with his eyes lowered. However, everyone could sense that the temperature around him had plummeted drastically.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Nelly, on the other hand, merely spared the news a glance without saying anything.
She wouldn’t comment further after doing some things. That was her temperament and character.
After breakfast, Nelly got ready to go to work. Unexpectedly, Alpha Kilian approached her after taking a call.
“Nelly, how about sending the kids to the Morris residence for a few days? Grandpa is at home, so he’ll be able to take better care of them. It’ll also be more convenient for Alpha Jackson over there,” Alpha Kilian proposed.
Upon hearing that, Nelly nodded. “Sure!”
Thus, Alpha Kilian turned and looked at the three children. All three of them said nothing and went straight into their rooms to pack.
A few minutes later, they had all packed a small bag each and stood in a line orderly. It was evident that they were eager to go to the Morris residence.
Well, this is a good thing.
Nelly pinned her eyes on them. “Let’s go!” The three children followed them downstairs.
In the car, Alpha Kilian drove while Nelly scrolled through her phone beside him. Meanwhile, the three children sat in the back seat.
Donna studied the two people in front with perceptive eyes.
Why don’t I sense any awkwardness between Mommy and Daddy? Shouldn’t there be a charged tension between them when they’d finally reconciled after so long?
Countless questions lingered within her.
In no time, they arrived at the entrance of Nelly’s office.
Before alighting from the car, Nelly turned to the three children behind her. “Behave while you’re at the Morris residence, okay? Don’t anger your great-grandpa.”
The three children nodded in unison. “Got it!”
Nelly wanted to say something else, but as she gazed at them, she ultimately suppressed that urge. “I’ll be going in, then,” Nelly remarked.
With his gaze trained on her, Alpha Kilian murmured, “There are quite a lot of things to be settled in the office today, so I can’t come over at noon to eat with you. I’ll come and pick you up after work tonight.”
Nelly nodded in acquiescence.
After getting out of the car, Nelly pivoted and walked toward the building.
Alpha Kilian waited for her to enter the building, still spacing out even when her figure had disappeared from sight.
At that precise moment, Donna, who was behind him, asked, “Don’t you think that Nelly is really pretty?”
Jolting back to reality, Alpha Kilian looked over his shoulder at his daughter, only to see her beaming from ear to ear.
He smiled as he started the car. “Yeah, she’s pretty.” Whoa! Look how suggestive that sounded!
Leaning forward, Donna whispered into his ear, “Daddy, did you share a room with Nelly yesterday when you stayed?”
In response, Alpha Kilian nodded nonchalantly. “Didn’t you see it this morning?”
At his reply, Donna grew inexplicably thrilled. “So, did you and Nelly … do it last night?” Donna tapped her index fingers together, her meaning clear as day.
Meanwhile, Tony and Ben had both perked up their ears as well. “What do you mean?” Alpha Kilian feigned ignorance.
