Chapter 373Nana was finally satisfied. She pinched Aileen’s face and said, “Good girl.”
Then she turned to Adrian and said matter-of-factly, “Adrian, now you.”
He felt embarrassed and asked, “Nana, why did you have to lie?”
What an innocent little boy he was.
Nana sighed and explained, “Adrian, you know, there are two kinds of lies in this world. There are lies
that are bad, but there are also lies called white lies. Although I’m about to lie, it will help solve a huge
problem as well as protect someone else from getting hurt. That is what we call a white lie. Do you
understand?”
Adrian nodded, although he hadn’t fully grasped the concept yet.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it now. You will understand when you grow up,” Nana said as
she patted his head gently.
“Mommy, Mommy, can I order fried chicken later?”
The atmosphere changed as Aileen called out in a sweet voice.
Nana smiled in amusement. This girl was so cute! How she wished she could have a child like Aileen.
“Of course,” Nana said as she touched Aileen’s nose dotingly. “We will have some later.”
Just then, Rosamond entered the restaurant.
Nana immediately raised a hand and waved at her.
“Miss Deleon, over here!”Rosamond was wearing a professional suit as she usually did. The way she dressed and did her
makeup was always meticulous. She was indeed a strong woman.
“Coming!”
She walked towards Nana. However, when she saw the children, her face changed.
“Darlings, this is Miss Deleon.”
Nana intentionally called Rosamond’s attention to the children.
Aileen and Adrian greeted Rosamond at the same time. “Nice to meet you, Miss Deleon!”
Rosamond sat down opposite Nana with a dissatisfied expression. “I wanted to talk to you. Only you.
Why did you bring the kids?”
Looking at Rosamond’s unhappy expression, Nana was pleased inwardly.
This was exactly what she wanted!
“Eliana went on a business trip today, and I couldn’t find a babysitter to look after the kids. I am their
mother. Of course I had to bring them with me,” Nana continued.
After Nana finished speaking, Rosamond looked even more disgruntled.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
“Mommy,” Aileen said in a confused tone. “Miss Deleon looks so young and beautiful. Can I call her by
her first name?”
Nana was stunned by the question and Adrian was rendered speechless. Even Rosamond was
shocked.However, Aileen simply stared at Nana with an innocent expression.
Was her observation wrong?
Nana explained in a measured tone, “Aileen, Miss Deleon is Mommy’s elder, so of course you should
call her Miss Deleon.”
“But Miss Deleon is so beautiful! She looks like a young lady!” Aileen continued.
She looked at Adrian for approval and asked, “Right, Adrian?”
Adrian looked at Rosamond carefully and nodded in agreement. “I agree. Can we call her by her first
name instead?”
“See, Mommy? Adrian agrees with me!”
Aileen then turned to Rosamond happily and said in a cute voice, “Hello, Rosamond!”
No one could resist humoring such a sweet child.
Rosamond didn’t particularly like children, but when she heard Aileen’s words, she couldn’t help but
chuckle.
All of a sudden, she appeared much kinder.
Nana was stunned.
What was going on? What was happening to her plan?
novelbinShe had expected the children to offend Rosamond, who would then lash out at them with harsh
words. Then she could have rushed to play the role of a loving mother by scolding Rosamond.Afterwards, the women would have parted in anger and would have never seen each other again.
As Nana sat in shock, Rosamond realized something was wrong from the look on her face.
“Nana, you aren’t their mother, are you?”
Rosamond was an intelligent businesswoman with sharp eyes.
When Nana heard Rosamond’s question, she nearly lost her composure.
How did she know?
