Soon after, Bonnie has changed her clothes and left with Jason.
Once the both of them left, Lily came out from the kitchen in an apron. She smiled and said to Nigel and Nellie, “Young master, little princess, come and have your breakfast! “
Nellie pursed her lips and got up. She walked over next to Nigel. She held his hand without saying anything and headed to the dining room.
It was only Bethan and Brettley left in the living room.
Looking at Nellie and Nigel sitting by the dining table having their meal, Bethan furrowed her brows and swept Brettley a cold glance.
“Mr. Morrison, why are you here? Didn’t you say that you’111et me stay here to take care of Nigel and Nellie and you won’t come back easily? Why are you here uninvited after only the second day?”
Brettley furrowed his brows. He was rather apprehensive of her aloof attitude.
He narrowed his eyes. “You don’t have to speak to me this way. We are not enemies.”
Then, Brettley went upstairs.
“I came here because I wanted to take some documents I left here.”
Brettley took a few steps before stopping in his tracks. He looked at Bethan.
“Since you said previously that Jason is not a good person, yet you’re spending your time with them every day. What is that all about? Are you playing with fire?”
Bethan sneered and looked at Brettley. “Aren’t I playing with fire every day? Jason might be a dangerous man, but are you not as well, Mr. Morrison?”
Brettley’s expressions instantly darkened upon Bethan’s words.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Bethan. His voice was cold. “Must you compare me with a person like Jason?”
“That’s because you both are the same type of person.”
Bethan chuckled a little. Her eyes were cool. “Not only are you both the same type of person, but you guys are still a team too.”
Brettley furrowed his brows hard. He looked at Bethan and enunciated, “Bethan, I have already told you. I have nothing to do with Jason.”
Bethan smiled. “Who would believe you?”
“I can’t help you if you don’t believe me.”
Brettley looked at her deeply and went upstairs.
Upstairs, the door of the study was opened.
Bethan stood in the same spot, looking at Brettley heading upstairs. She bit her lips.
Actually, from the moment Brettley rescued Nellie from Jason, based on their reactions, Bethan had started to be a little swayed already.
However…
She still could not be sure whether they were putting on an act or not.
After all, Brettley was still the greatest actor. His acting skills were amazing.
“Mommy, come and eat.”
At the dining table in the distance, Nigel called after Bethan while taking food for Nellie.
Bethan responded and headed over. She accompanied her two children for breakfast distractedly, while trying to listen to the movements upstairs.
Brettley went up for a very long time. It was as if he was not planning to come down.
She paused for a while and waved her hand, calling for Lily. She gently instructed into Lily’s ears.
Lily nodded. She took off her apron and was about to head upstairs when Brettley had already come out from the study and headed downstairs.
Standing by the staircase, Brettley coldly glanced at Bethan. “You don’t have to worry about me overstaying my welcome. I’m leaving.”
Then, Brettley placed the document under his arms, turned, and left.
Just when his hand was touching the doorknob, a little small hand tugged at him.
Brettley paused a little and subconsciously looked down.
Nellie, in a princess gown, was tugging on his sleeve. She was looking at him with her huge watery eyes filled with reluctance. “Eat with us.”
Nellie spat those words out with difficulty. Brettley bent down, heartbroken.
He gently hugged Nellie’s head. “I’m not hungry, you guys go ahead.”
Although previously Nellie was not as mischievous a s Neil, she was still lively and adorable.
However, at that moment…
After Nellie witnessed Neil and Theo’s room being blasted, she changed.
Brettley sighed and gently patted Nellie on the back. “
You’ll get better.”
Nellie shook her head. She firmly grabbed onto his sleeve. “Eat with us.”
Brettley paused for a while. He subconsciously lifted his head and looked at Bethan who was eating at the dining table.
She calmly swept him a glance. Their eyes met.
Bethan furrowed her brows and avoided his gaze. “
Then, stay. Lily made extra. There’s enough for all of us.”
“Okay! “
Before Brettley could answer, Nellie answered on his behalf.
Brettley sighed helplessly. He placed the documents down, carried Nellie, and returned to the dining table.
The atmosphere by the dining table was a little weird.
Brettley kept taking food for Nigel and Nellie without saying anything.
“Mommy likes this.”
When Brettley placed some vegetables on Nellie’s plate, Nigel could not help but say, “But Nellie never eats this.”
Then, Nigel looked at Brettley seriously. “Give them to Mommy.”
Brettley, with the vegetables still in his hands, hesitated for a while, before gently placing them on Bethan’s plate.
Bethan furrowed her brows. Looking at how Brettley was so reluctant to do so, she was inexplicably depressed.
Clunk!
Bethan placed her utensils down. “I’m full.”
Then, she got up, instructed Lily to look after the two children, turned, and headed upstairs.
Sitting by the dining table, Brettley looked at Bethan leaving. He could not help but sigh.
“Did you see that? It’s not that I don’t try. I don’t have any chances.”
Nigel noticed all of Brettley’s actions. He furrowed his brows and looked at Brettley. His tone was so mature it did not sound like a six-year-old.
“If you don’t have any chances, you create them. If you want to get the things you want, you cannot rely only on Nellie’s hard work.”
Brettley paused for a while before raising his head and looking at Nigel. “Got it.”
Nellie, on the other hand, widened her eyes. She had an expression filled with shock.
Nigel…
Was Nigel not like Neil, they extremely did not like Brettley? They exceptionally hated him.
Why was Nigel talking to Brettley in that way at that moment?
