Cordelia and Nelly stood facing each other. As Cordelia looked at Nelly’s quirked lips, she clenched her hands into fists.

“Ms. Jenner, don’t you understand what I mean?” Nelly snickered. “I won’t stop you from being together with Zephyr. Even when I marry him in the future, I’ll ensure you’re well taken care of. I won’t get jealous, either!

“Heh, things like these are actually common in families like ours. I’ll adapt to it slowly, and I believe that you’ll get used to it too!”

Cordelia bit her lips and took in a deep breath. Nelly might as well just say “mistress”.

Nelly’s smile was vicious as she looked at Cordelia quietly. This woman overestimated herself and humiliated her by talking about exchanging rings the last time. She must not show her any mercy this time!

“Yeah, Nelly’s right!” A brilliant voice rang suddenly.

Nelly’s eyes brightened up. She was all smiles and greeted sweetly, “Auntie!”

Just as she was going to run over, though, Janine moved to the side and refused her hug with a hand. Nelly’s arms were already spread open, so it was awkward as they froze in the air.

She was alarmed when she saw Janine walking toward Cordelia and putting an arm over her shoulder.

“Nelly’s right.” Janine chuckled. “Read only on ninjanovel.com It’s too common for men to have mistresses in families like ours. One isn’t enough. They have to get three or four!”

“Auntie?” Nelly could not figure out what she was trying to say.

“But Nelly, don’t worry.” Janine looked at her. “My Zephyr isn’t someone like this!”

Nelly thought that Janine was taking her side and could not help smiling shyly. However, she saw Janine look lovingly at Cordelia the next second and speak gently. “It’s enough that he has Cordelia!”

“What!?” Nelly was dumbstruck.
