Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1865

Shannon's informality was obviously rather unpleasant to a calm and generous person like Nicky.

After Shannon said that, Nicky's expression changed suddenly. Her soft eyes turned sharp as they focused on her." Do you have an opinion about me, Miss Collins?"

I clearly saw Shannon's smile freeze slightly at Nicky's abrupt counter. She also seemed shocked by Nicky's gaze, and she trembled.

She then replied lightly after a long time, "I don't have an opinion. I'm just curious.

Why are you so worked up, Miss Doyle?"

Hearing this, Nicky smiled and said, "I do admire President Grant, but it's just admiration. I don't have any other unreasonable thoughts. It's your manner of questioning, Miss Collins, that makes me think that you don’t like me very much and that you're trying to strain my relationship with Wanda."

She could speak her mind calmly, and this was beyond the reach of most people.

Shannon chuckled softly after what Nicky said. She shrugged. "I just want to know more about you. Miss Doyle, you're thinking too much."

"Is that so? That's great, then. Otherwise, Wanda would be in a tough spot." Nicky narrowed her eyes and gave me a thoughtful look.

Seeing that the atmosphere between them had gradually become awkward, I hurriedly acted as a peacemaker and interrupted the sparks that were going off between them."

You two are my friends. Just get to know each other slowly."

Seeing me stepping forward, Shannon softened her tone. "Alright, since Wanda has said so, I'll stop this getting-to-know here. After all, we’ll have ample time for that later."

"Why, yes. We still have a lot of time to get to know each other well in the future," Nicky also said.

I breathed a sigh of relief when the two finally reached a truce.
