Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 32

Nellie blinked, then realized she had misspoken.

She didn't dare to face her father, turning her face to the side, "Mommy, right now, she's..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she spotted Luna who was standing at the entrance to the study.

The little girl's voice cut off in her throat.

Joshua turned and glanced at the woman standing in the entrance, his displeasure apparent in his voice," You have something to say?"

"Yes."

Luna's face remained expressionless. "The servants downstairs said breakfast is ready and asked when Nellie would go down and eat."

"You can eat first if you’re hungry."

He glanced at her, irritated, "Once Nellie and I are done, we'll go downstairs by ourselves.”

"Alright."

She smiled and nodded, then turned and left without a hint of hesitation.

After Luna left, Joshua shut the door to the study, turned and continued questioning Nellie. "You were saying, what does your Mommy look like now?"

Nellie paused, raised her head and looked at him," Mommy...she looks ugly now."

She tried her best to recall what Luna looked like originally, "Her face is terrible, full of scars, with bandages wrapped around her head all the time. All you can see was her eyes.

Sometimes when the bandages have been removed, you can see the various scars..."

As she was talking, she trembled unconsciously," Anyway, she looks so ugly..."

When she had just learned how to talk, Luna’s face wasn't as perfect as it is now.

Every time she saw her mother's face under the bandages, she would be so terrified she couldn’t sleep throughout the night.

Every time she lost sleep because she saw her mother's face, her brother Nigel would hold her in his arms carefully, "Nellie, she's our Mommy, the one who i s the closest to us, who loves us the most, in this whole world.

No matter what she looks like, we can't be disgusted a t her, we can't be afraid of her, do you understand?" 1

Back then, the confused and lost Nellie didn't understand what Nigel was saying.

But later, after Neil told her about what Luna went through, she finally understood.

Back then, Daddy was the person Mommy was closest to. He was even more important to Mommy then Mommy was to Nellie.
