“Did I say that you could leave?”
Rosamond’s tone was cold, and the aura emanating from her sent a chill down everyone’s spine.
Not wanting to get on her bad side, the security guards instantly rushed forward, blocking Nana and
Corbin’s way.
Corbin straightened up and instinctively spread his arms in front of Nana and the children, shielding
them from the guards.
The whole restaurant fell into silence, and the tension in the air was thick enough to cut with a knife.
At this time, a soft childish voice sounded, as if from a dream.
“Rosamond, please don’t blame Corbin and Nana, okay?”
Aileen timidly poked her head out from behind Corbin’s back.
Seizing the opportunity, Adrian immediately chipped in, “Yes! Rosamond, you are so beautiful and kind-
hearted. Don’t be angry with them. You will get wrinkles if you are angry.”
It was only upon hearing these two adorable twins speak that Rosamond’s gloomy face began to
soften, and a smile bloomed on her face.
“Don’t worry, children. I was just kidding. Look at you two, you’re so adorable. How could I hurt you?”
The truth was, Rosamond wasn’t angry with Corbin at all. She just wanted to see how far he would go
to protect Nana.
After seeing that he was ready to lose his job and his cushy life just for Nana’s sake, Rosamond was
quite satisfied. In her book, Corbin had passed the test.
Nana and Corbin exchanged a glance, as if to confirm that they were both really seeing the same thing.
They were taken aback by the sudden change in Rosamond’s attitude, and it took them a moment to
realize that she was just teasing them.
Nana bowed to Rosamond and said, “Thank you for your understanding, Miss Deleon. I’m sorry to
have troubled you.”
Rosamond shook her head with a bitter smile. “Nana, I’m the one who should be saying sorry. Huey
has wronged you too much. I’m sorry that we couldn’t be a family. Someday, if there is a chance, I
would like to apologize to your parents face to face.”
Nana gasped and hurriedly waved her hand. “Miss Deleon, please don’t say that! You did nothing
wrong.”
In fact, if Huey weren’t such a contemptible man, Nana would be happy to have a reasonable mother-
in-law like Rosamond.
At this time, Rosamond’s assistant stepped forward and whispered something in her ear. The change
in Rosamond’s posture and expression was almost imperceptible, but effective, instantly transforming
her into the powerful businesswoman that made everyone awestruck.
“Nana, I have some business to deal with. But feel free to stay in the manor and have a good time
today. Don’t worry about the expenses. Take it as a token of my apology to you.”
Hearing the sincerity in Rosamond’s voice, Nana didn’t have the heart to refuse her.
“Alright, Miss Deleon, thank you.”
Meanwhile, Corbin, who had long realized that he had somehow misunderstood the whole situation
and jumped the gun to rush to Nana’s defense, just stood aside awkwardly as the two women spoke.
But with Rosamond’s departure, Nana and Corbin couldn’t avoid addressing the situation any longer.
Both of them were flushed red with embarrassment, and there was a hint of romance in the air.
“Mr. Jenkins, Nana isn’t in any trouble. Why are you still holding her hand?” Aileen teased, smiling
playfully at Corbin.
Corbin immediately let go of Nana’s hand as if he had been burned.
“I… I… I just…” Corbin stammered.
He was in such a panic that his mind went blank.
Nana stared at him with bright eyes and smiled knowingly. “Why did you protect me just now?”
In his heart, Corbin already knew the answer to this question. It was because he had feelings for Nana.
The words made it to the tip of his tongue, but on second thought, he swallowed them back. He might
have been fearless when facing Rosamond, but when it came to Nana, he was a coward.
“Because… Because you’re my friend. Friends should help each other when they’re in trouble, right?”
The moment Nana heard Corbin’s explanation, the spark in her eyes dimmed.
Were they just friends in Corbin’s eyes?
Nana’s heart sank in disappointment.
The romance in the air seemed to dissipate.
To diffuse the awkward atmosphere, Corbin hastily changed the topic.
“Now you should tell me what had happened, Nana.”
With a deep sigh, Nana reluctantly told him the whole story.
After listening to the whole thing, Corbin couldn’t understand what Nana had been thinking. How could
she have come up with such a bad idea?
“It’s okay for you to tell lies, but how can you drag the children into this? What if they learn to tell lies?”
Corbin chided, leaving a playful knock on Nana’s head.
“I know it was stupid of me. But I had no choice. I won’t lie again. I promise!”
Holding her head and wincing in mock pain, Nana made a promise to Corbin.
Looking at her pitiful face, Corbin didn’t have the heart to scold her anymore. Instead, he squatted
down and stared seriously at the children.
“Kids, you shouldn’t tell lies. Don’t learn bad things from Nana, okay?”
After a moment of silence, Adrian suddenly asked, “Mr. Jenkins, do you know what a white lie is?”
