Chapter 2431
Neil could not help laughing when he saw how frightened Nellie looked.He was just about to say something when Nigel, too, shot hima cold glare.
"You, too.Some things are meant to be joked about!
"I know that Daddy and Mommy are in love with each other and won't be affected by your jokes, but what will happen if an outsider overhears this? What will other people think of Daddy and Mommy?
"What if Aunt Yannie found out about this? Do you think she'll be able to work for Daddy and Mommy in peace after she finds out? Not only that, but have you considered Mrs.Flores' feelings? "If Aunt Yannie were to quit her job because of your 'harmless' joke, Mrs.Flores would do the same.Is that what the two of you want?"
Nigel's words were sharp but struck like a hammer on a nail.
Neil and Nellie instinctively exchanged glances, then sighed and clamped their mouths shut in unison.
A split second later, Neil put down his cutlery and declared, "I'm sorry, Mommy, Daddy."
Then, he turned and darted up the stairs.
Nellie followed in her brother's footsteps and excused herself from the table.
Luna sighed as she watched the children leave.She turned to glance at Nigel, intending to say something, but no words came out.She knew that Nigel meant well.
He was the most mature and thoughtful out of the three children, but Nellie and Neil were obedient children, and they meant no ill harm when joking about this.
"Nigel," Joshua said calmly and lifted his head to meet Nigel's gaze.
"How do you even know that Nellie and Neil weren't telling the truth?"
