Female Novel
Chapter 2151
“Marie isn't a good person..." Luca could not help but blurt out.
"You know that too. It's troubling me so much. I regret bailing him out of jail now. My mom will surely getmad and pass out if she finds out about this." Nina frowned. If Anna knew about this, she might thinkthat not bailing Jean out of jail was the right choice.
At least Jean would not have gotten back together with Marie.
Nina refused to believe that Marie was truly in love with Jean. After all, Marie never visited him whenJean was caught.
"Yeah, I know. Previously, when I was helping Old Man Rayne recuperate his health at his house, I sawMarie making a scene at the entrance of the district. Ms. Rayne told me about her," replied Luca. Shedid not expect a grown-up like Jean to be such a dunderhead. It was as though he was out of his mind.He was actually still attracted to Marie after what had happened.
Luca reckoned that Marie took the initiative to approach Jean because of Percy.
It was not because she was planning to seduce Percy. Marie knew it was unlikely that she would beable to seduce Percy, but it was because Nina was in a relationship with Percy now, and Jean wasNina's brother.
Marie knew Nina would not leave Jean alone no matter how much of a scoundrel he was. That waswhy she approached Jean. She could take advantage of him.
"She's a nuisance." Nina did not intend to conceal her hatred for Marie. Luca could understand herfeelings. After all, Marie ruined their family and took everything they had.
"Let's not talk about her. Oh yes, let's go for lunch. Ask Sue to come with us too," said Luca. Eventhough she was using another identity now, she would still like to get together with her best friends.
She had to seize the chance when she still had it now.
"Sure. Let me tell Sue to ask her to leave her two kids to Mr. Doyle and hang out with us for lunch."Nina picked up her phone, thinking of calling Sue.
"It's better to bring the kids along," Luca said immediately. "Mr. Doyle should be on a business trip withMr. Crawford now."
Nina was not surprised to hear that. She already knew that Luca and Luke were living together. Shenodded and called Sue.
Sue agreed to come out for lunch after being invited.
Nina chose to dine in a restaurant near Mr. Doyle's house for Sue's convenience.
Luca, who was beside Nina, was fine with the idea. After all, Sue was bringing her kids with her. Theyshould make it convenient for her.
Nina turned and looked at Luca after she ended the call, then she asked, “I decided that we'll haveWestern cuisine for lunch. Is that okay with you?"
"Sure. No problem. But I'll need you to send me the restaurant's location. I'm driving, and I supposeyou drove here too, right?" Luca asked.
"Yes. Let me send you the restaurant's location now," said Nina, as she operated her phone.
The elevator reached the floor where the parking lot was. Luca looked at Nina. She was still searchingfor the restaurant's location. Luca held her hand and walked out of the elevator. "Watch your steps."
Nina sent the location to Luca and replied with a smile on her face, "I have you here with me, right? I'llbe fine."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll make you fall?" Luca teased.
"Is there anything to be afraid of? Honestly, I've never been afraid of that," replied Nina. She recalledthe time when she had just begun to know Luca.
She needed to be aware of Luca at that time, but she was not afraid of her doing anything to her.
Nina was surprised that she trusted Luca without any reason.novelbin
Nina placed her phone in her bag and pointed at the car beside, "My car's right here."
"Mine is at the front. I'll see you at the restaurant," replied Luca. She let go of Nina's hand, waved ather, and strolled in the direction of her car.
Luca found her car and got into it. She drove to the Western restaurant while being guided by thenavigation.
Nina's car was in front of Luca's as they departed from the same destination. She was driving slowly asthough she was waiting for Luca.
Luca was following close behind her.
The two of them arrived at the Western restaurant successively.
Sue was already sitting inside the restaurant as it was nearby Jason's villa. She stood up and waved atthe two of them.
"There," Luca said to Nina while she was carrying a few bags in her hands.
"I saw her. Let's go," Nina smiled and said.
"Hello, Ms. Nina and Ms. Luca," greeted Kari and Teri.
"Good afternoon, Kari and Teri." Luca looked at the chubby faces of Kari and Teri. She was very fond ofthem. She stroked their heads before she sat down.
"It's been a while. Kari and Teri are getting more adorable every day. How cute." Nina looked at the twolittle girls. A daughter was always the apple of the parent's eyes, and Nina was envious of Sue.
Sue could not wait to make fun of Nina once they sat down. "It's just like what they said. People areusually in high spirits when something good happens. Nina, look at your ruddy face. I'm so envious ofyou. It seems like Mr. Mallory is doing well and the two of you are enjoying your life. When are youplanning to get pregnant?"
Nina quickly waved her hands back and forth. She blushed with embarrassment, “What are you talkingabout in front of the kids? I'm not married yet. Honestly, you're the one who's been enjoying your life,huh? Your skin looks so much brighter and youthful. Well, I guess that's all thanks to Mr. Doyle, huh?""Don't get smart with me. Hey, you're engaged. Hurry up and get married." Sue laughed and joshed. Inthe next second, she was rushing Nina.
Kari was curious about what Nina said, so she tugged on Sue's sleeve and asked, "Mommy, what didDaddy do?"
"Oh, nothing. He did nothing," Sue looked at her daughter helplessly, then glanced at Nina, "I told youthat the kids are curious now. Stop talking nonsense."
Nina was amused and replied, "You started it first. You're the one who started the topic first. You can'tblame me for that."
Then, Nina took two engagement gifts out of her bag and handed one to Luca and another one to Sue."These are the engagement gifts. They're for you and to share my happiness. I agreed with Percy not
to make our engagement public, so we didn't make it big and invited you all. I'm sorry about that. Percywill invite the two of you for dinner after he's done with his work."
There was supposed to be an engagement dinner, but things were different for them. Nina wanted tomarry Percy too. She did not ask for anything as long as Percy was by her side.
That was why everything was alright for her. She did not feel wronged. Percy was sincere to her, afterall.
"Congratulations! Although it's a pity we can't attend your engagement ceremony, I'm so happy for youseeing that you've found your happiness. Don't forget to pick my daughters as your flower girl whenyou're getting married. You can pick either Kari or Teri." Sue took the engagement gift from her anddelivered her sincere wishes.
Sue had been watching how Nina had lived her life for the past few years. She understood how tough ithad been for her. Now that Nina was finally engaged to Percy, she wished Nina happiness from thebottom of her heart.
