Nellie woke up in the middle of the night and went downstairs to drink water, overhearing the conversation between Lucas and their servant.
“Sir’s situation is more urgent. The woman is dead drunk.“
Alarm bells started ringing the little girl’s head. Woman, dead drunk?
She bit her lip and approached them furiously, raised her head and looked at him.
“Lucas, what woman are you talking about? What happened to my Daddy?“
Lucas jumped up in shock. “Little princess.“
“I’m asking you what woman, what do you mean dead drunk?“
Lucas sighed helplessly, he had no choice but to tell the truth. “It’s Luna. She’s drunk and Sir brought her into his bedroom.“
The little girl paused.
After a moment, she finally bit her lip and said, “ Then… quickly prepare a drink for her hangover.“
Then as if she remembered something important, she looked at Lucas innocently. “I heard people become more honest when they’re drunk? Is it true?“
Lucas was surprised. “Little princess, who taught you that?“
“I saw it on TV.“
The little girl pursed her lips. “Prepare some wine for me, I want to have a drink with Daddy! “
She remembered her godfather used to blurt out his true feelings that he liked her mother when he was drunk.
Daddy would do that too!
She could not understand why Daddy would make such a decision.
Would she be able to understand him once he was drunk?
Why did he let Aura go, why did he make Mommy sad!
“Little princess, uhm…“
Lucas paused. “I don’t think that’s a good idea?“
Nellie rolled her eyes at him. “Why not? In this house, my Daddy is the boss, and I’m his second in command! Aren’t you going to listen to me?“
The little girl was usually soft and easy-going, but when she was serious, she could be every bit as stern as Joshua.
