Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1265
The lights coming out of Lynch Mansion shone brightly in the night sky.
Due to her illness, Granny Lynch was lying against the sofa, looking feeble.
Nigel massaged her feet in silence while Nellie held a book and told Granny Lynch The Little Mermaid story.
On the other side of the sofa, Celia was holding a stack of photos of other girls and showing them one by one to Michael. “Michael, look: these are the suitable girls that Granny has picked out for you according to their status and identity. Take a look and let me know if there’s any that you’re interested in.“
Michael, whose brain was still haunted by the image of the hickeys on Aura’s body this morning, shoved the photos aside in frustration. “I don’t want to! If you want it so desperately, look at them yourself! “
“How dare you! “ Adrian slammed his glass down on the coffee table with a thud and shot Michael a cold glance. “Your Granny is so ill that she wishes to see you get married and settle down while she’s still alive. I’m still waiting for you to get married so you can bring good luck into this family and help Granny get better soon!
“Even if you don’t want to, you still have to look through these girls’ photos! “
Celia furrowed her brows upon seeing the stern look on Adrian’s face and lifted her arm to stop him. “ Don’t talk to Michael like this. You’ll scare him.“
She poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Granny Lynch. “Mom, you should drink more water since your body is weak.“
With that, she poured two more glasses of water and placed them in front of Nigel and Nellie. “Nellie, you’ve been reading stories to Great -Granny for a long time now. Your voice must be getting hoarse. Drink some water.
“You must be exhausted as well, Nigel. Come on, drink some water. Granny will pour you some more after you’re done.“
Nigel furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this, then lifted his head to glance at Celia coldly. “Only my father’s biological mother is considered my Granny. I think it’s best I call you Grandma Celia. I’m afraid that it isn’t good to call you Granny.“
Celia’s face turned pale upon hearing Nigel’s words.
A hint of hatred flashed through her eyes. She let out a snort of indignation but did not say anything in reply. Instead, she returned to Michael’s side and continued showing him the rest of the photos.
Nigel helped Granny Lynch up to drink the water.
Nellie, who had been reading the stories for a long time, could not stand it anymore either. She picked up the glass of water that Celia had poured and gulped it down.
“Nellie,“ Nigel called out, frowning.
However, Nellie shrugged and took no notice of this.
“It’s okay.“
Even though Nigel had already reminded her countless times not to eat or drink anything that Celia had given, she thought it was alright. After all, she had seen Celia pour from the same jug that she used to pour for Granny Lynch.
If Granny Lynch was fine, then what was the worst that could happen?
When Joshua stepped into Lynch Mansion, the first thing he saw was Nellie and Granny Lynch drinking the water that Celia had poured.
A vein popped in his forehead, and he immediately lunged forward and snatched the unfinished glass of water out of Nellie’s hand and put in a few drops of the medicine that he had been keeping in his pocket.
His guesses were correct.
The water in the glass turned green.
Joshua furrowed his brows and snatched the glass out of Granny Lynch’s hand.
The water turned green as well.
“Daddy.“ Nellie stared at the green water in shock and blinked as she asked, “What magic is this?“
Joshua scoffed. “This isn’t magic. Grandma Celia has poisoned the water! “
The entire room fell into silence at this. Nigel and Nellie exchanged a glance.
A split second later, Nellie clutched her throat as she started retching.
