Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2769

Luke replied to Luca’s explanation with a simple ‘mmm’.

Luca also remained quiet to avoid saying something wrong again.

On the other hand, Percy brought Nina back to the manor.

Old Master Mallory had dozed off with his back against the sofa, while Madam Mallory’s howls could be heard from upstairs.

At least the maids had successfully dragged her back into her room.

Upon hearing footsteps, Old Master Mallory opened his eyes. The butler who was keeping watch over him announced, “ Old Master Mallor, Master Percy and your…”

He trailed off when he realized that although Percy and Nina were married, they had yet to hold a ceremony. Old Master Mallory did not approve of their relationship either.

The butler had no choice but to say, “Ms. Nina is here.”

He was going to say Master Percy and your daughter-in-law were here…

However, that would only trigger Old Master Mallory even more.

Although calling Nina Ms. Nina would upset Percy, he had to upset one of them either way, so he let Percy bear the burden since he was younger anyway.

Old Master Mallory had just taken medicine to lower his blood pressure, so he was not in a stable condition.

When Percy heard the butler, a look of displeasure appeared on his face, but instead of getting angry, he squeezed Nina’s hand.

Nina felt his strong grip and did the same.

At first, she had refused to come in. She just wanted Percy to take care of things while she waited in the car, and then go home.

However, Percy insisted that she came in.

He said that she was already married to him, so no matter how much the Mallory Family objected, they would not be able to do anything about their legalized relationship.

Therefore, they would have no choice but to accept it in the end. Hopefully, showing her face around them will help them accept it.

Nina did not agree whatsoverl. The Mallory Family had gone through enough because of Pierre’s situation, and to flaunt herself in front of them…

Although they were not fixated on Percy and her right now, her appearance would only serve to add fuel to the fire.

However, Percy’s persistence left Nina with no choice.

There was disdain in Old Master Mallory’s voice. “Why did you bring her here?”

“She’s my wife, and Pierre’s sister-in-law. You might not recognize our relationship, but as long as I’m a member of the Mallory family, so is she. Of course, she’s welcome.” Percy held Nina’s hand before walking over to the other side of the sofa and sitting down.

“She’s not a member of the Mallory Family, so she’s not welcome here.” Old Master Mallory looked up at Nina with an expression full of hatred.

At that moment, Nina felt as if Old Master Mallory was abusing his power to disrespect her.

She wanted to get up and leave, but she forced herself to stay seated to save Percy from embarrassment.

Percy finally has the chance to make peace with Old Master Mallory through Pierre’s situation. She could not ruin his chances because of her impulsive decisions.

Nina felt so uncomfortable, as if she was sitting on a bed of thorns. Yet she continued to remain beside Percy.

“Grandpa, do you still want to talk about Pierre?” Percy could not be bothered to argue with him about Nina right now.

Nina was his wife, and it did not matter whether the Mallory Family recognized that or not because she was his one and only wife.

There was no one else but her.
