"Sure, let's invite Luna over tonight, then.” Granny Lynch did not even give it any thought before agreeing to Fiona’s suggestion.
On one hand, she was really heartbroken for Nigel and Nellie. They had been living with Luna all this while before they were abruptly brought over to take care of Fiona, the ill woman.
On the other hand, Granny Lynch also wanted Fiona to see for herself, when Luna came over, what it took to b e a woman worthy of helping Joshua take care of his children.
"But..." At that moment, Nigel, who had been silent all this while, lifted his gaze and looked at Fiona.
"Aunty Fiona, although we miss Mommy, I don't think she'll want to come here to see you being together with Daddy."
Nellie, by the side, also pursed her lips and nodded.
"If you really think that us being apart from our Mommy is terrible, why don't you be charitable? Try talking to Daddy. Persuade him to send us back to live with Mommy.”
Fiona furrowed her brows at what the children said. She sighed and said with an aggrieved expression," Joshua was the one that decided to let you all stay here. I can't do anything if he doesn't want you back
with Luna."
Nellie blinked her innocent huge eyes at Fiona. "Aren't you Daddy’s favorite woman right now, Aunty Fiona? When Daddy used to like Alice back then, he'd always listen to her. Why does he not listen to you now?"
Nigel sighed and looked at Nellie helplessly.
"Nellie, stop talking. We’re just kids. We don’t know what goes on between the adults."
Nellie was resentful upon being lectured by Nigel.
"What do you mean, we don’t understand adult matters? It’s clearly because Aunty Fiona has no standing in Daddy’s heart. If Daddy truly likes Aunty Fiona, why won’t he listen to her?"
Nigel sighed. "It’s fine, Nellie. Maybe Aunty Fiona is just casually saying. She’s not truly sad about us leaving Mommy. Don’t take her too seriously."
