Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 140

Nell’s heart melted instantly.

She turned to the old lady, who returned the gaze with earnestness brimming in her eyes. How could one refuse this old lady and little girl?

Eventually, Nell canceled her original dinner plan and drove both the elder and the child to a family-friendly restaurant in the downtown area.

This restaurant was cozily furnished. It was also Nell’s first visit to this place.

Numerous parents with young children were dining here too.

The dining tables were positioned on one side, whereas the other part of the restaurant was furnished into a mini playground.

They placed their orders within minutes. Seeing as it would take some time to prepare the food, Nell encouraged Lizzy to play along with the other children in the playground.

However, Lizzy shook her head. She appeared disdained and on high alert when she turned to watch the other children playing together not far away.

Nell discovered that the child had a cold personality despite always looking enthusiastic on the surface.

She wondered what kind of parents raised this child.

Despite that, the little girl had opened up to her since beginning. A strange emotion materialized in Nell’s heart at the thought of this.

“Young lady, you can tell that Lizzy really takes fancy on you. She doesn’t normally warm up to strangers. Even back home, not many except a few closer relations were able to approach her but she immediately adores you since the first encounter. This shows that you’re fated for each other.”

The old lady spoke slowly, the smile on her face never faded away.

Nell returned the smile. She turned to Lizzy and played with the little girl’s hair gently.

“I agree that we’re fated to meet each other. I adore her very much as well.”

At the sound of that, Lizzy narrowed her eyes in delight, looking like a spoiled little kitten.

Nell might pass out from witnessing this overloaded cuteness!

The old lady was grinning from ear to ear. “Well, I don’t even know your name after receiving your assistance twice!”

“Nell Jennings. N-e-l-l.”

“Oh, such a beautiful name. Miss Jennings, you look rather young. Do you have a boyfriend?”

Nell hesitated.

“I’m married.”

“Huh?”

The old lady appeared genuinely shocked but quickly smoothed away her surprise with a smile. “It’s understandable. Men must be running after an outstanding woman like you! I wonder who’s the lucky man that calls you his wife.”

Nell did not intend to disclose much information about Gideon so she attempted a smile. “He’s a great man, perhaps even too good for me.”

“No way. I can tell from your graceful manners and fortunate appearance that it might be him that’s not a good match to you.”

Nell laughed without commenting further.

Their food was served several moments later. Nell normally preferred silence during meals but the old lady was determined to keep the conversation going. She had no choice but to respond while eating simultaneously.

“Miss Jennings, your husband must treat his beautiful wife well! Are you two planning to have kids in the future?”

Nell almost choked on the rice that she was swallowing. She quickly took a few sips of water before replying. “We’re not planning for that just yet.”

“I see!”

Perhaps Nell had the wrong impression but she thought she saw a hint of concern flashed across the old lady’s face upon listening to her reply.

Feeling the awkwardness that lingered in the air, she changed the conversation topic immediately.

“Oh right, are you visiting Jincheng alone with Lizzy? Are there any other family members or friends tagging along?”
