Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 83

After Joshua left, Nellie woke up and headed downstairs as well.

She was still in her pink cartoon pajamas. She sat awkwardly by the dining table.

"Why did Daddy leave so early in the morning?"

Luna furrowed her brows. "Nellie."

"Hmm?"

Luna looked around. Once she made sure that no one else was in the house, she sighed deeply as she softly spoke, "If Mommy isn't here in the future, you have to take good care of yourself. Do you hear me?"

Startled, Nellie put the hash browns down. "Mommy, why won't you be here? Are they chasing you away?"

Luna ignored her question. "I only want you to learn how to be independent."

Nellie pouted.

"I don't want to be independent. If I’m independent, Mommy, Neil, and Nigel won't take care of me anymore," muttered Nellie while she angrily munched on the hash browns. "I don't want to be independent! I don’t want to be obedient. I don't want to grow up!" 2

Luna, who sat in front of Nellie, looked at Nellie helplessly and sighed.

She took out her phone and looked at the tracking number which Malcolm couriered the jewelry materials to her.

Checking the tracking number showed that Malcolm had used express delivery to send the package from Europa to Banyan City.

The courier would take another day to reach, and Granny Lynch’s birthday banquet was two days later. Luna only had a day left.

Closing her eyes momentarily, she then opened them a s she looked at Nellie. "We haven’t painted in a long time, have we now?"

At the mention of painting, Nellie’s eyes sparkled. Nellie was like Luna: passionate about art and design.

However, because her body was too weak, when they were overseas, Nellie would stay in the studio all day without sleeping.

Later on, for the sake of her health, Luna forbade Nellie from painting.

At the mention of painting once again, Nellie was so excited that she almost fell off her chair.
