Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

“Could it be that Nelly has some sort of terminal illness or something?”

As soon as she finished talking, Tony heartlessly knocked her head and scolded, “You’re talking nonsense again.”

Donna rubbed her tiny head and protested, “Oh, come on. I was just talking about the possibility of that being true. We all saw it with our eyes. Nelly actually likes Daddy, but she refuses to get back together with him. Why else would she turn him down if it’s not because she has some sort of terminal illness?

That’s what always happens on the TV.”

“If you keep talking nonsense, you will not be allowed to watch any television dramas ever again,” said Tony .

“Ben, did you see that? Tony is being mean again!”

“I’m with Tony this time,” replied Ben .

Realizing that no one was on her side, Donna challenged, “Okay, then you boys come up with a theory. Why won’t Nelly get back together with Daddy?”

“I read Nelly ‘s medical report earlier. She’s healthy, so your theory doesn’t work at all,” replied Tony . “By the way, do you guys also find it weird that Nelly suddenly wants us to move?” asked Ben . “That is strange,” murmured Tony while nodding in agreement.

“How about I go to Daddy and ask him about it? He might know what’s going on,” suggested Donna . Both Tony and Ben turned to one another upon hearing that.

“That might actually work,” replied Ben .

“Okay, try to coax an answer out of him, but be discreet.” “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

“Oh, and don’t tell him that Nelly has feelings for him. That information might get to his head,” reminded Tony .

Donna looked away. The glow in her beautiful eyes suggested that she was a little embarrassed because she would definitely have blabbed if Tony hadn’t warned her.

She was still weighing her options and wondering if she should let that secret slip anyway when she realized her siblings were looking straight at her.

“Okay, okay, I won’t say anything,” murmured Donna softly.

Only then did Tony nod in satisfaction.

He stretched a bit and asked, “Is Nelly up yet?”

“She’s already at work. In fact, it’s almost time for her to clock out.” Tony arched a brow. “She had a long night. Didn’t she sleep in?” Donna shook her head in response.

“I knew it. Talented people have to work hard, too. Only then can we be perfect,” said Tony as he lay back down on his bed. He was tired and wanted to go back to sleep.

Ben stared at him and asked, “Did you tell Nelly about us wanting to go for training?”

Tony sprung his eyes open. He turned to Ben right away because he completely forgot about it. “You didn’t tell her?”

“It slipped out of my mind yesterday,” replied Tony honestly.

Ben thought about it for a while. “It’s fine. At least Nelly knows our biggest secret now. That means she likely won’t feel too bad when we tell her the other news in the future.”

“By the way, have you really thought things through? Are you sure about going for the training?” asked Tony .

“Do I look like someone who would change his mind easily?” challenged Ben .

He was right about that. Of the three kids, he had always been the one who was most firm about his decisions.

Tony saw the way Ben moved his arm and recalled how things were when Donna was in

trouble. That memory prompted him to say, “I haven’t told Nelly about the training, but I managed to tell her what I want to do in the future. I’m sure she is emotionally prepared for it. Besides, we all know that Nelly isn’t the kind of woman who would demand that her children stay by her side. She was very

supportive of what I want to do, actually.”

That was something Ben could agree to. Ever since they were babies, Nelly had always allowed them to do whatever they wanted.

It didn’t matter if it was right or wrong or if their plan would work. She would always let them try things before explaining things to them.

That was why the kids had always been independent and could make their own decisions. It was all the fruit of Nelly ‘s labor.

“I’m not worried about her stopping me. I just don’t want her to be heartbroken,” said Ben . That was also something they couldn’t deny would happen.

“That is inevitable, but there is no point in worrying or fearing that. We can’t exactly stay by her side forever and never leave,” replied Tony .

Ben arched a brow but didn’t say anything else.

Donna , who was standing at the side, didn’t join their conversation.

She still hadn’t decided if she wanted to go, so she kept quiet. She knew that she needed more time and an opportunity to allow her to know what choice to make.

“By the way, does Sam know that you are Nelly ‘s son?” asked Ben .

Tony shook his head and replied, “I didn’t tell him. All I said was that we are acquainted. There are too many people out there who want to know who Nelly really is, and I just can’t bring myself to tellContent © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sam … even if he is one of us.”

“I understand,” said Ben while nodding. The matter was similar to how they had to hide their

identities, so it was easy to relate. “It’s just… I mean, given Sam ‘s personality, he’s probably planning something now that he knows you and Shadow Seeker know each other.”

“Oh, he can try. In fact, I think he already is. I just won’t let him get what he wants,” said Tony while smiling.

Ben laughed aloud. “You’re really messing with him, huh?”

“He deserves it. He shouldn’t have suddenly gotten Nelly and me to go against each other in that competition. We’re lucky that Nelly is nice and wasn’t angry. If she was upset, I wouldn’t have known what to do,” complained Tony . “It’s only right that I punish him a little for it.”

“Speaking of the competition… Did you lose? Or did you let her win?” asked Ben , who was rather suspicious about what had happened.

“What do you think?” challenged Tony .

Ben narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Tony , trying to find a hint of the truth in Tony ‘s gaze. Just then, Donna looked up from her phone and said, “Zachary is downstairs and asking to meet me.”
