Joshua lowered his eyes. Looking at his daughter’s sparkling eyes, his heart softened.
He hugged Nellie in his arms. "You are too innocent."
How could Luna be unhappy because she was leaving?
She was the one that insisted on leaving. It was not as if he did not give her a chance. He waited for her the entire night the night before, yet she did not even appear.
Why pretend that she was reluctant and in a bad mood at that moment?
At that thought, Joshua sighed. "Let's eat. After lunch, I’ll bring Lucas to let you pick out a new servant, okay?"
Nellie bit her lips and nodded. "Okay."
After Mommy leaves, she did need a person who could take good care of her. Although Nellie felt that she could be independent, her brothers and Mommy insisted that she has someone take care of her.
After lunch, Lucas took Nellie downstairs to a meeting room in the Blue Bay Villa.
A row of women was standing respectfully in a line.
"Little princess, these are the women that applied to b e your servant. Mr. Lynch said to let you pick."
Nellie nodded and walked over.
Too big, no.
Too thin, no.
Too fierce, no.
When Nellie saw the fourth woman, her eyes sparkled. She almost let out a scream.
This woman was Lily, the servant who has been working at Uncle Malcolm's!
Lily noticed that Nellie recognized her. She winked at Nellie.
Nellie made her decision immediately. "Her!"
Lucas was stumped and confused.
