Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 457

Nell caressed her belly, thinking that it would not be long before she gave birth to a baby as cute as Lizzy. The corners of her lips tugged into a sweet smile with that thought.

“Lizzy, did Great Nana tell you that you’re going to have a little brother or sister soon?”

Lizzy was more than excited to hear this topic being brought up.

“I know! Great Nana told me that mommy and daddy went away this time to pick up a little brother or sister for me. When you come back, I’ll have a real brother or sister!”

Her curiosity grew as she spoke.

“Mommy, where do you pick my brother or sister? Can you choose whoever you like?”

Nell was rendered speechless by her questions, and she had no idea how to answer her.

She did not hold back the smile on her face as she mumbled, “Lizzy, this isn’t something we can control. It’s all up to god, and it doesn’t really matter who your little brother or sister is going to be. You’re going to love them very much, right?”

“Of course!”

Lizzy was trying to look like she was all grown up. “I’m a big sister now. I’ll have to take care of them from now on. They’ll have to listen to me, and I’ll bring them out to play and buy them lots and lots of food.”

Nell listened to the kid’s naive and adorable ramblings and felt her heart melting.

Grandma Leith appeared in the video call right then.

“Lizzy, it’s late. Let mommy get her rest, and we’ll talk next time, okay?”

Lizzy did not want to end the call, but she knew that Nell needed her rest, so she nodded.

“Okay.”

The girl turned back to face Nell and waved at the camera.

“Mommy, I’m going to sleep now. You should rest too.”

Nell pursed her lips. “Okay, good night.”

Lizzy puckered her lips and planted a kiss on the camera before hanging up the call.

Nancy appeared from behind Nell after the call ended.

She handed Nell a glass of milk and grinned. “A video call with Miss Lizzy? I bet she misses you.”

Nell chuckled. The truth was that she knew better than anyone else how much Lizzy missed her. It was just that Lizzy had Great Nana by her side taking care of her, but she had to take care of the matters at hand on her own. No one could help her.

Nancy’s eyes roamed around the room as if she was wondering about something.

“Nelly, do you ever feel like Miss Lizzy looks kind of like you?”

Nell was taken aback by her words. “Nancy, when did you learn to sweet talk me?”

Nancy shook her head innocently.

“Nelly, I’m not sweet-talking you. I’m being serious. I didn’t see it when Miss Lizzy was a baby, but as she grew older and as her features grew more and more prominent, I can see that you two look somewhat alike.”

Nell chuckled.

“If she resembles anyone it’ll be her father. I’m her mother, but we’re not related biologically. How can we look the same?”

Nancy parted her lips as if to say something, but Nell cut her off.

“Where’s Gideon? Where did he go?”

“Oh, sir went out with Matthew just now. He said he had something to do.”

Nell furrowed her eyebrows.

“He was out the whole day today. Why is he going out again at night? I know the doctor said he can walk now, but his wounds haven’t healed completely yet. His body is still weak, and it’s so cold outside. What if his wounds deteriorate?”

Nancy did not say a word. Nell knew she was not to blame. She stood up with knotted eyebrows and walked to the window, waiting for Gideon.

Gideon returned half an hour later.

It was already November, and Country F was located in the far north. Lin City was having a chilly November.
