The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 47

The Schnabel sons all gave Palmer the stink eye.

This guy was here to swoop in on their sister!

Why come to mooch off the Schnabels for breakfast when you’ve got food at home? What’s he playing at?

Sienna was checking out Palmer like a mother–in–law sizing up a son–in–law, liking him more. the more she looked. She shot Tristan a look that could melt steel. “You never bothered to join me for breakfast before, always too ‘busy with work.‘ Look at Palmer, see how sweet he is to Noella!”

Tristan immediately turned on the charm, “From now on, I’ll have breakfast with you every day. We can have whatever you fancy. The company and the kids can wait.”

“That’s more like it.”

The rest of the Schnabel family all felt awkward watching their parents‘ sudden show of

affection.

They were all used to the couple’s PDA, pretending not to notice as they kept their heads down and focused on their food.

A serene smile played on Palmer’s lips.

“I’ll join you for whatever you want to eat from now on.

“No need, I prefer skipping breakfast.”

Noella wasn’t fibbing. Back at the Lambert place, Mr. and Mrs. Lambert never bothered with breakfast for her, claiming a bit of hunger was healthy for kids. Plus, with work being so hectic, she often forgot to eat in the mornings.

“Then I’ll make sure you don’t skip breakfast. The Pollack family chefs whip up a mean. breakfast. I’ll have them go to your place later.”

Tristan was nearly moved to tears. “Palmer, that’s really thoughtful of you., Noella really isn’t big on breakfasts. Appreciate you looking out for her.”

“It’s the least I can do. Taking care of Noella is my responsibility.”

The smiles on the faces of the Schnabel sons were about to disappear!

Palmer was definitely here to steal their sister, no doubt about it!

Sienna turned to Noella, “Honey, I’ve prepared some gifts for you to take to Sexton. We can’t show up empty–handed on our first visit.”

“Got it.”
