Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 977

As soon as Granny Lynch stormed up the stairs, Nellie quickly sprinted to Nigel's side.

The two of them raised their hands in unison and gave each other a high-five. However, as soon as they did, Nellie lifted her head to gaze in the direction of the stairs, looking somewhat concerned. "Nigel, do you think Great-Granny will be able to convince Daddy?"

Nigel shrugged. "It’ll be challenging to do that."

Nellie scrunched her face in displeasure. "Since you know it's impossible, why did you let me play along with your act?"

Nigel curled his lips into a smirk. "Well, you clearly didn't think too deeply into this. Daddy is concerned about Mommy’s supposed mental illness, so he won't let us return to Mommy's side. At the same time, he can't let Mommy move into Orchard Manor, lest she and Fiona get into more conflicts, but..."

He narrowed his eyes and continued, "Granny Lynch doesn’t know this. Now that she's gone to talk to

Daddy, do you think she'll blame him if he rejects her suggestion?"

Nellie lifted her hand to smack her forehead in realization. "You're right. Great-Granny would never blame Daddy for this since he’s always been her precious grandson, so the only person she’ll blame is...

Nigel nodded, then lowered his head and fiddled with his glass of milk, smiling at the same time. "Today's only the second day that Granny Lynch has been staying here, but she and Fiona have already gotten into a disagreement. The longer she stays, the more she'll grow to detest Fiona."

If that happened and Granny Lynch eventually exploded in anger, Fiona would never know what hit her. Therefore, she would be too preoccupied with salvaging the situation that she could not toy with Luna anymore!

Nellie gave her brother a thumbs-up and said, "Neil was right. Even though you're the quietest one among us three, you're the one with the most wicked ideas."

Nigel lifted his head to glance at Nellie impassively. "D o you think I'm wicked?"

Nellie immediately shook her head. "No, that’s not what I meant! I don't think you’re wicked at all. I was just saying that-"
