My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 1175

Chapter 1175 Harold was left speechless, and Lana was at a loss.

"Ninian! What nonsense are you talking about?" Lana was embarrassed and annoyed at the same time. She immediately stood up and tried to snatch her phone away.

Ninian was clutching her phone tightly. After getting tickled by Lana, she giggled uncontrollably.

Nerola shook her head when she saw this, feeling amused.

"Pfft, this is scary. It's so hard to deal with women." At the end of the line, Harold sighed jokingly. All the anger in him had dissipated.

After the call ended, Ninian finished her breakfast, and soon, Everett was waiting for her downstairs.

As always, Zayn drove, while Everett and Ninian sat in the back.

As she looked at Everett's handsome, calm face, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Everett, is there anything you need to tell me?" He was stunned when he noticed how serious she looked. A trace of panic flashed through his profound gaze.

'Did she... replace out about Paul?'

He could not help but clutched his knees and took a gulp

before saying. "... What do you mean?"

"I'm giving you a chance to own up to what you did." She said, "Come on, don't hide it from me."

His face turned pale. Luckily, the car windows were tinted, so the light did not shine through them too much. With the dimly lit car, Ninian was not able to notice the change in his expression.

He stayed silent and did not respond to her immediately. The atmosphere in the car became tense as it became silent all of a sudden.

"Why are you so reluctant to tell me? What's with the serious expression?" She looked at him curiously. "Are you afraid that I will be angry when I replace out?"

He nodded and held her hands. He then asked in a hoarse voice, "Would you...?”

'If you know the vicious side of me... If you know that I'm so indifferent that I can treat humans as if they are something insignificant... If you know that I'm selfish, violent, and scary... will you still choose me?' "Of course! Of course, I'm angry!" Ninian said.

Everett instantly tensed up.

Ninian then continued, "If you continue to hide things from me just because you're afraid that I'll be angry, I'll be very angry!" She then said, "Firstly, it shows that you don't trust me. Secondly, you don't trust our relationship. Communication is the most important thing in a relationship. We still have a long way to go as a couple. What will be of us if we keep having misunderstandings because we hide things from each other?"

Everett looked up, feeling stunned.

"You shouldn't keep thinking I'll choose my family over you and ignore the good things that you did for me." She looked upset and continued to nag at him, "Even though I love my family very much, I love you as much, too. Our relationship is as important as my kinship with my family.

"So, next time, tell me directly if you're getting my siblings involved in a certain matter. For example, this time around, you didn't need to keep me in the dark when you caught Harold up and forced him into the same boat as us. Because... if I had known your plan in advance, I might have even been able to improvise and make your plan a better one."

As she said this, she blinked her eyes and showed a hint of slyness like a cunning fox.

Everett subconsciously smiled when he saw her smile.

However, deep in his heart, he felt solemn.

'She mentioned nothing about Paul. That means that she doesn't know anything about that yet.'
