Nelly looked at Tony and answered, “No.”
His smile slowly vanished as he furrowed his eyebrows. “Why? You like Daddy, and Daddy likes you. Sure, he forgot about the promise he made in the past, but we have all seen how he’s treating you now!”
She looked away, unable to be truthful with him. “Liking someone and wanting to stay with them are two different things, Tony .”
“No, they are the same thing! If you like someone, you should stay with them!” he uttered resolutely, as
though he wasn’t going to accept any other answer on the matter. She smiled at him. I’m glad he thinks that way.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
With a nod, she answered, “If you meet a girl you like in the future, remember to stay determined like this and don’t give up easily!”
“Of course, I will… Wait, we’re talking about you and Daddy!” A thought entered his mind as he asked, “Is it because of Gramps? If it’s because of him, I can try to convince him!”
“It has nothing to do with your great-grandfather!”
“Then why?” Tony couldn’t understand why his parents wouldn’t stay together when they liked each other and no one was getting in their way.
That stumped Nelly as she wasn’t sure what to say.
Seeing how deep in thought she was, he asked, “Is there a hidden reason why you can’t do it? Or did Daddy do something bad again?”
“No.” Her head shook. “Then why?”
Since Tony seemed so determined to learn the truth, she knew he wouldn’t give up until she gave him an answer. Even if she tried to brush past it, it wouldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t turn to Alpha Kilian for answers.
If Alpha Kilian learned what was going on, her plan would be ruined. So, she said, “It’s not that I don’t want to. I just need more time.” Nelly ‘s thoughts were always difficult to grasp.
Tony thought he knew her, but at that moment, he really had no idea what she was thinking. He theorized about the reasons and asked, “Are you testing Daddy again, Nelly ?”
“You could say that.”
He directed his suspicious gaze at her before he muttered, “You aren’t this kind of person, Nelly …” “Isn’t it better to be more cautious about a matter like this?”
It wasn’t a big problem, but he still frowned. “Daddy doesn’t have it easy at all. He had to win all of us over first, and then he had to persuade Ben and me. Now that I’ve agreed, you want to test him again…”
“Are you starting to feel bad for your daddy?” She smiled. “Not really. He’s a man, after all. A man isn’t afraid of tests!”
Tony wasn’t at all worried about Alpha Kilian not passing the test. He was concerned about Nelly because he could feel she was feeling rather down lately, as though something was bothering her.
However, he didn’t want to draw any conclusions.
Worry could be seen between his eyebrows as he stared at Nelly .
It was then she spoke up. “All right, there’s no need for you to worry about his and my matters. I know what I’m doing. It’s getting late. In any case, you should come up with an explanation for Sam . Since we disappeared right after our battle formally concluded, I bet he’s looking for you like a madman. Maybe he even thought I had found your address and hurt you,” she joked.
“It’s fine if he goes crazy for a bit.” It wasn’t every day he got the chance to have a late-night chat with his mother, so he was pretty hesitant on the matter.
“Aren’t you afraid he’ll come over to your location?” “Even if he does, it’ll still take him time to arrive!”
The moment he finished his sentence, his phone rang.
Upon picking up his phone, he saw it was Thalia calling him and frowned. Nelly raised her eyebrow. “Thalia?”
Tony nodded.
“Sam probably asked her to find you.” He answered the phone.
Thalia’s worried voice immediately flooded into his ear. “Where are you, Tony ? Are you all right?” “I’m as fine as I’ll ever be.”
“Sam said you had a battle with Shadow Seeker, and when it ended, both of you disappeared. He was
worried something had happened to you, so he asked me to find you. Are you sure you’re all right?” “I’m a hundred percent sure.”
“Then what are you doing?” “Having a chat with Nelly !”
Thalia was taken aback slightly before she replied, “Got it.” Then she hung up the call. “I can see Sam and Thalia truly care about you.” Nelly grinned.
