Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2922

Nina wanted to have a talk with him after they got home, but after what Percy said, she thought that there was no need anymore.

No matter what, there was no talking him out of it. They would go ahead with the wedding as planned.

“Alright.” Nina agreed with a smile. She was overwhelmed with joy after seeing him insist on giving her a proper wedding, so much so that she had forgotten the tension she was feeling inside.

At night, Karen sat on the sofa in the living room and impatiently asked the butler. “Why is the old master not back yet?”

Not long after Old Master Mallory left, she came downstairs to discuss Pierre’s situation with him. To her surprise, the butler informed her that he was out.

Karen had been waiting until now.

The butler glanced at the time and said, “Old Master Mallory said that he was on his way back half an hour ago, so he should be here soon.”

He was making a guess. He only found out that he was on his way home after reaching out to him.

However, he had no idea where the old master went, so he could only make a rough estimate.

Karen clicked her tongue and glanced at her phone screen before asking the butler, “Since you’re always by his side, have you ever heard him talk about how he’s going to solve Pierre’s problem?”

The butler shook his head. “Old Master Mallory is always in his study when he’s dealing with Master Pierre’s affairs.”

Old Master Mallory’s study was considered the most secret room in the Mallory Manor. The maids were not allowed to enter as they pleased, so even a butler like him would need the old master’s permission before entering the study.

Karen glared at him.

Although he was the Mallory family’s butler, he was actually Old Master Mallory’s personal caretaker.

The fact that the butler did not even know about that made her doubt his capabilities.

The butler noticed Karen’s dissatisfaction, but he did not know what to say, so he just waited with her in the living room.

About ten minutes later, they heard footsteps from outside.

The butler quickly walked over. He saw the driver helping Old Master Mallory inside, so he immediately went over to take over. “Old Master Mallory, you’re back.”

“Yes.” Old Master Mallory did not seem too happy. When he saw Karen sitting on the couch, he headed upstairs without any intention of talking to her.

“Father,” Karen stood up and called him.

Old Master Mallory could not just pretend not to hear her, so he turned around to look at her. “What is it?”

“I’m here to apologize…” Karen said shamelessly. She was Pierre’s last hope now.

She realized that if she offended the old master too much, Pierre would be doomed. Thus, she suppressed her anger and obediently apologized to him.

Old Master Mallory’s expression was as stoic as always. He did not show much expression even when his daughter-in-law was apologizing.

After noticing that, Karen added, “Father, I’m just so worried about Pierre. You know he’s never been through much hardship ever since he was a kid. Now that he lost his leg and the police are going to lock him up, I’m just so worried that I…”

She paused. “Father, I’m sorry. I won’t make a fuss anymore. Can we work together as a family and get through this hardship?”

Old Master Mallory still had several mixed-raced grandchildren abroad. Now that she could no longer count on Percy, Pierre was the only one left.

If he gave up on Pierre, she would have to give up the Mallory family to that foreigner bitch after taking care of the family for 30 years. Karen could not allow such a thing to happen.

“Alright.” Old Master Mallory’s eyebrows still did not move, but he changed his mind about going upstairs and sat on the sofa instead.

Karen quickly brought a cup of nourishing tea. “Father, have some tea. You’ll be able to sleep better at night.”

Even after seeing how thoughtful Karen was, Old Master Mallory still did not react.
