Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 176

Old Madam Quinton only came and took Lizzy away when it was time to get a move on.

The little child was broken-hearted to leave and truthfully, the same sentiment was shared by Nell.

To her surprise, Lizzy suddenly tugged on her sleeve. Blinking those wide eyes, Lizzy exclaimed, “Mommy, Nana said that you and daddy are going to give me a baby brother, is that true?”

Nell, “??”

The old madam froze.

Even Gideon who was standing aside stopped what he was doing and stared at her dumbfoundedly.

It was as though time had come to a screeching halt!

Lizzy was in a daze and only realized a few seconds later that she spilled the beans!

Gasping in horror, her meaty arms quickly hung over her little mouth.

Those dewy eyes blinked as they fixated on Nell rather pitifully.

“Sob sob sob... Mommy, I didn’t do it on purpose!

“I didn’t want to lie to you. I just want to be with you!

“Nana said you won’t leave daddy and will be together with me forever with a little brother on the way!

“Sob sob sob... I was wrong!”

Nell turned her gaze to Gideon.

With a complicated look on his handsome face, the man was twitching at the corner of his lips, hoping there was a hole in the ground where he could bury himself in.

Meanwhile, Old Madam Quinton on the opposite side, having snapped back to reality, chuckled awkwardly.

“This... This... How should I put this...”

For a moment of awkwardness, the old madam could not find the words to explain herself. She may have come across great upheavals in her lifetime, yet remained at a loss in this trivial matter.

Nell burst into laughter.

“Here I am, thinking how my encounter with Lizzy was a work of fate! It was love at first sight for me with this little girl. She kept insisting I’m her mommy. So we’re, in fact, a family. I guess my intuition is pretty accurate.”

Everyone was blown away.

Nell did not bring up the fact that they kept their identity from her, nor anything of that matter. Moreover, she showed no signs of anger.

Instead, she made light of the situation, brushing off the intense atmosphere.

How-How...

Considerate!

The old madam was almost moved to tears. With red eyes, she advanced forth and grabbed Nell by the hand as she choked up. “Nelly, I’m sorry. I...”

“I understand.” Nell smiled and patted the old lady’s hands over hers as an act of comfort.

“The greatest love is the one that parents have for their children. Of course, they always have their children’s future in their mind. You wanted to know what kind of woman your grandson married out of concern. Although the way of doing it may not be right, the intention was there. I can understand.”

Touched beyond words, the old madam bawled her eyes out.

“I knew it. Our Nelly has great empathy.”

Nell let out a faint smile without saying a word.

She turned her attention to Lizzy and crouched down.

Knowing she was at fault, Lizzy covered her face with her hands in a fret.

Nell could not hold back her laughter as she reached out to pull away the meaty hands from Lizzy’s face. She smiled. “Don’t cover this beautiful little face. It’s not going to look as pretty with handprints over it!”

Peeking between her fingers, Lizzy cautiously met her gaze and asked, “Mommy, are you not angry?”

Nell shook her head. “I’m not.”

“I told a lie. I’m bad!”

“Oh, you’re a good girl. Just don’t do it again the next time and you’ll be fine.”

“Really? Mommy won’t be angry if I mend my ways?”

“Yes, that’s right.”
