Mo placed two cups of coffee and coffee creamer from the tray in front of both of them before leaving.
After the door closed, Luca took a sip of her coffee before asking cautiously, “It seems like something is bothering you. Did you not get enough sleep last night?”
“Yeah.” Nina did not try to hide it as she told her about Karen staying over at Percy’s place.
Luca frowned. “She didn’t make things difficult for you, did she?”
“No, I’ve done my homework. She has to find excuses if she wants to make things difficult for me, but…” Nina paused as she added creamer to the bitter coffee and took a sip. “But Old Master Mallory sent a message this morning telling Percy to bring me to Mallory Manor for dinner.”
Although she was married to Percy, she did not think she was associated with Mallory Manor in any way.
Besides, none of them gave their blessings to her marriage with Percy.
Luca silently held the coffee in her hand for a few seconds before setting it down on the table. “Do you know why the old master did that?”
“Percy doesn’t know, and neither do I.” Nina shook her head. So what if she was Old Master Crawford’s god-granddaughter?
The Mallory family only stopped using those little tricks on her for the sake of the Crawford family.
That did not mean that the Mallory family accepted her.
“No matter what, just be yourself. Percy is always on your side, so he won’t let them hurt you.” Luca knew what she was worrying about, so she could only provide her comfort.
In the end, Nina still had to face it on her own.
After marrying Percy, she had to face the Mallory family at some point in her life.
“I know he’ll be on my side.” Nina nodded. Percy was not the type to listen to his elders. He may take some of their advice, but most of the time, he stood his ground.
“You have nothing to worry about, then. The worst that could happen is them expressing their disapproval of your marriage to Percy, but your marriage has been registered. With the law protecting you, they can’t do anything about it. Perhaps Old Master Mallory wants to reconcile with Percy this time. In that case, you’ll be the key to their reconciliation.” Luca smiled.
Nina nodded in agreement.
For some reason, no matter how anxious she felt, she would always be able to calm down with Luca around.
Luca had always been able to soothe her anxiety.
After seeing Nina breathe a sigh of relief, Luca told her about her experience meeting Luke’s parents for the first time. In the beginning, she was not well received by Luke’s family either.
Among the entire Crawford family, only Old Master Crawford liked her.
“Also, since you’re meeting the elders, you must prepare gifts. Don’t talk too much at the table and be quiet. Whatever tricks they throw at you, Percy will be there,” reminded Luca.
Nina nodded as she listened to her. Suddenly, she felt that tonight was not such a big deal anymore. Then, she nodded and said, “Thank you for the great tips!”
After that, she took a big gulp of coffee. Although she added creamer, it still tasted extremely bitter.
Ever since she confessed to Percy, she no longer drank bitter drinks like coffee. Plus, drinking too much coffee was not good for her fertility.
After taking a big gulp, her eyebrows knitted together from the bitterness, but her mind was clear.
Nina said, “Luca, thank goodness you straightened me out. Now, I’m full of confidence, and I’m no longer afraid of them trying to mess with me tonight.”
“I’m glad I could help.” Luca also finished the last few sips of her coffee.
Her case was different from Nina's. Nina could not sleep all night because of Karen.
However, Luca lost her beauty sleep because of Luke.
After the bitter coffee slid down her throat and stimulated her nerves, Luca felt much more awake.
