“That bag…” Nina pointed at the bag. “Your mom brought it over.”
Percy walked over, picked up the bag, and opened it. When he saw what was inside, his brows immediately furrowed.
“What’s all this?” asked Nina.
Percy handed her the bag. “Just some stuff.”
Curious about what it was, Nina took the bag and peeked inside. It was filled with car models and small toys.
She suddenly remembered what Karen said earlier and asked hesitantly, “Are these your childhood toys?”
“Yes.” Seeing these things again stirred something in Percy’s heart, but it still did not change his feelings toward Karen.
Nina was surprised. She picked up a few of the items and said, “I didn’t expect these to be so well-preserved.”
“I thought they would've been thrown out.” Percy still remembered these toys.
Technically, they were his, but in reality, they ended up with Pierre. As the Mallory family’s heir, he was too busy to play with toys. Hence, they were his, but it never felt that way.
Nina said, “Earlier, she told me she wanted to give me some of your things. That’s why I…”
She gently touched the toys. Most of them were clearly quite old, with some models even discontinued and no longer available.
Although Karen had always favored Pierre, she cared about Percy in her own way. Otherwise, she would not have kept these toys in such good condition.
Percy let out a chuckle.
Nina looked up and asked with confusion. “What is it?”
“These toys? Sure, they were bought for me, but honestly, Pierre was the one who played with them. I was groomed to be the Mallory family's heir from the start, so I didn’t have time for stuff like this. Calling them my childhood toys sounds nice, but really, they were Pierre’s.”
Percy recounted it all with an air of calm indifference.
Nina was stunned for a moment. She had not expected that to be the truth.
“Well, I never liked playing with these things anyway.” Percy smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair. “Back then, I was more into sports. Anytime I wasn’t stuck studying, I’d be out playing basketball or soccer. That’s how I got close to Luke and Jim.
"Add in the fact that we all came from big-name families, and over time, we ended up being really tight-knit.”
“Do you want to keep these as mementos?” asked Nina. After hearing all that, she did not think the toys held much sentimental value for him.
However, since they were his, she thought she should at least ask.
“Throw them out. She’s just trying to play the sympathy card. The only reason these weren’t thrown away is probably because Pierre played with them, and she couldn’t bear to get rid of them.”
Percy took the bag from her and tossed it into the trash can without hesitation. “She probably dug these out of some storage room in Mallory Manor. It must’ve taken quite an effort to even find them.”
He knew better than to force a bond that was not meant to be.
As he thought that, a sudden idea crossed his mind.
“She went back to Mallory Manor.”
Nina was surprised. “Wasn't she supposed to be on the run? How does she dare go back there?”
“Maybe my grandpa allowed it.” The thought crossed Percy’s mind, and his eyes darkened.
