Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2910

After Nina received a message from Percy, she quickly cleaned up a guest bedroom in the villa and laid out the beddings and blanket. She also prepared a new set of toiletries.

Then, she nervously waited for Percy and Karen in the living room.

She knew that Percy had gone to the hospital to deal with Pierre's matters, but she did not expect him to bring Karen back.

Something must have happened.

Nina grew anxious when it crossed her mind. She knew that Karen did not like her. Their previous meetings had always ended on a sour note. Facing her gave Nina a lot of pressure.

However, Karen was Percy's mother, after all. There was no way she could refuse to meet her and get along with her.

The moment she chose to marry Percy, she had chosen to stand by his side. No matter how difficult the Mallory family's matters were, she was determined to face them together.

In marriage, it was not about the husband carrying the load alone, but it was about sharing the burden together.

As Nina thought Karen might intentionally nitpick and make things difficult later, she quickly went to the kitchen to prepare some flower tea, coffee, and freshly squeezed juice.

She would rather make extra preparations than face Karen's criticism.

With everything ready, she sat on the sofa for a while. Then, she heard noises coming from outside.

Percy had returned.

Nina immediately stood at the entrance and watched as Percy walked in, accompanied by Karen. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight of Karen.

After Karen saw her, her expression was filled with disgust. She secretly let out a cold snort after she heard Nina say, “Good evening, Madam Mallory.”

When she heard Nina address her as Madam Mallory, Karen was startled for a moment. However, she immediately thought that it was acceptable.

Even though Nina and Percy had a legally recognized marital relationship, what could be done with that? The Mallory family did not acknowledge their marriage. What difference did it make even if their marriage held legal status?

If Percy compromised with the Mallory family in the future, the couple would get a divorce!

Percy could not help but frown slightly when he heard Nina addressing her as Madam Mallory, but then he realized that if Nina called Karen Mom, Karen would not acknowledge it either.

Hence, it was better to address her as Madam Mallory without trying to please her.

Percy did not marry Nina to make her please the Mallory family. Besides, there was no need for the woman he loved to appease the Mallory family.

Their disapproval would not affect their marital relationship.

Nina did not feel embarrassed when Karen remained silent. She was already mentally prepared to be put through the wringer.

Moreover, it was even better if Karen did not speak. Nina was only being ignored, without having to endure any unnecessary difficulties. She took out a pair of new disposable slippers and placed them on the floor.

Karen looked at her with arrogance. She got out of her shoes expressionlessly, then put on the slippers.

Percy's brows furrowed even more. After he changed his shoes, he took Nina's hand and asked, “Why aren’t you in bed at this hour?”

He informed Nina because he wanted her to be mentally prepared that Karen would be coming, not to serve her.

Nina smiled and replied, “I can only sleep peacefully when you're back.”

Then, her gaze fell on Karen again. “Madam Mallory, would you like something to drink? We have fresh juice, flower tea, and coffee at home.”

Karen let out a cold snort and answered, "I always have a glass of milk before going to bed."
