When Family Became a Place I Couldn’t Return To novel Chapter 391

What did the rest of the Watson family matter in front of Nicholas, anyway? They were just a bunch of nobodies, showing off because of their last name. Besides, she’d seen that man before. He looked young, probably just some extended family at best.

And honestly, Nelly’s relationship with him wasn’t exactly proper. If things got ugly, she’d have nothing to stand on. Nobody would risk their reputation to take her side, not even for appearance’s sake.

“So, you two have your own sugar daddy now?”

Tina’s meaning was obvious, and Nelly caught it right away.

“Who is it?”

Nelly wasn’t bothered by Tina’s jabs. She was much more curious about who was backing them from the Watson family. Who had the pull to get the event staff to give her a hard time?

“It’s…”

“Mrs. Garland.”

Sheila jumped in before Tina could spill anything more. Tina had a habit of running her mouth when she got excited, but Sheila was always more careful. She wasn’t about to reveal Nicholas before she knew what cards Nelly was holding.

“We’re all having a good time today. Let’s not make things awkward for Ms. Stewart,” Sheila said, her voice soft and gentle. She kept up her usual sweet façade, looping her arm through Tina’s and even giving Nelly a meaningful look.

“Ms. Stewart, you can’t really blame Mrs. Garland for being upset. After all… you haven’t even divorced Brody yet. No matter who you came with today, it’s better to just let things go. If you offer a quick apology, we can all avoid a scene. Isn’t that better for everyone?”
