MOMMY SUPER COOL NOVEL

Chapter 313

Chapter 313 Teach Them a Lesson?
Lara said courtly, “Obviously, you put in a lot of effort into preparing your gift and you’re certainly more considerate than most of us because none of our gifts have ever managed to make him so happy.” Her remark could be interpreted as being somewhat provocative. After listening to what she said, the first thing that popped up in the rest of their minds was how bad Old Man Nolan’s taste was. Other than that, they also resented Gianna for stealing their limelights because they had spent a fortune on their gifts for the old man only to see them being overshadowed by hers which might not even be worth a hundred bucks. Obviously, Lara was trying to incite the rest of her family to hate Gianna. With a smile, Gianna explained, “Of course Master Merlin would love the gifts from all of you. As I’m not as rich as you guys, I can only make up to it by putting in more effort. I’m sure he just doesn’t have the heart to criticise my shabby gift because he knows how I hate to feel embarrassed.” Edward too walked over to her and said, “There’s no need to be so modest because you and your son should be proud of your gifts which are able to make Grandpa so happy.” Lara laughed along and chimed in, “Indeed, especially so for the gift from the little boy.” With that, she bent down slightly and beamed

at South, “Little boy, how old are you?” South answered her confidently, “I’m six-and-a-half years old!” Softening her tone, Lara asked the little boy what sounded like an attempt to pry for more information, “I can see you’re with your Mommy. What about your Daddy?”
Upon listening to her question, Silas’s face fell immediately and he spoke in a cold tone, “We’d better not poke our noses in their private affairs!”
At the same time, Gianna pulled South to her and answered with a blank expression, “His Daddy has passed away. Aunt Lara, I don’t think that’s the question you should pose to a little boy.” As soon as she said that, South secretly took a peek at Silas’s face to confirm that his expression had turned bleaker. South kept his lips pursed because he was having difficulty stopping a grin from emerging on his face. In the meantime, Silas was looking sullen thinking that it was the second time he was described as a dead man by Gianna. That woman was really ruthless with her words! Lara, who seemed to have just realized her gaffe, chuckled, “It’s my bad for being curious. Doctor Aubrey, you won’t mind it, will you?” Having subdued the raging fury in her, Gianna forced a smile and responded, “I won’t!” At that juncture, Old Man Nolan spoke calmly, “Rocky and Doctor Aubrey, I think it’s about time the two of you bring the kid downstairs to grab something to eat instead of staying here with me.” Knowing well that his grandfather was trying to protect them, Silas replied quickly, “Okay!”
