Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Disobedient Again
"Wendy has been with Nicole in the car for almost half an hour. Why hasn’t she come out yet?" Mrs. Lockwood’s face showed an anxious expression.
"Auntie, don’t worry, it should be soon. Sister-in-law Wendy has a gentle personality, she can definitely calm Nicole down." Chloe Lockwood sipped her juice, thinking that Nicole was too troublesome. It’s so much better now, a peaceful mood makes everything better.
"I hope so! Sigh... Nicole is so restless, I hope she doesn’t accidentally hurt my precious grandson!" Mrs. Lockwood frowned.
Chloe Lockwood wanted to say to Mrs. Lockwood: if that’s the case, why not just send Nicole to her mom.
But she ultimately didn’t say it out loud. Auntie is getting older, and with a substantial family fortune, it’s impossible to give Nicole to Ivy Linden.
However, Auntie has gone crazy wanting a grandson over the years. This grandson isn’t even born yet but is treated as a treasure. When he’s born, he’ll definitely be cherished dearly.
As for Nicole’s status in the Lockwood family.
Poof~
Chloe Lockwood wanted to laugh, truly hoping for the day when that little girl Nicole is completely out of favor in the Lockwood family.
Chloe Lockwood didn’t like Nicole, one might even say hated, because she disliked Ivy Linden. But before, anyway, Nicole was the only granddaughter of the Lockwood family, so she couldn’t show dislike towards Nicole no matter how much she disliked Ivy Linden.
The future will be different. Once Wendy’s child is born, she’ll immediately develop a good relationship with him, making her little nephew deal with that little girl Nicole.
Who asked Nicole not to listen to her at all today? Even shouting at her?
The car door opened.
Wendy Quinn brought Nicole out.
Mrs. Lockwood saw Nicole’s swollen eyes from crying and felt a pang of sympathy: "What... what happened? Her eyes are all swollen from crying."
Mrs. Lockwood noticed Wendy Quinn’s stomach was fine, and she gave Wendy an accusing glance.
Wendy immediately explained: "It’s all my fault, I have no experience in comforting children, resulting in Nicole crying for so long."
Chloe Lockwood helped Wendy Quinn say: "Auntie, sister-in-law Wendy is new to motherhood too, she’s already doing her best with Nicole, truly remarkable. How many stepmothers on this earth can match up to Wendy?"
Mrs. Lockwood thought it made sense and said no more.
"Nicole, come here... come to grandma."
Mrs. Lockwood gestured to Nicole.
Nicole stood in place, not moving.
Wendy Quinn frowned and gently pushed Nicole: "Grandma is calling you! Why aren’t you going over to her? What did I tell you here?"
Fear filled Nicole’s tender little face.
Wendy Quinn squatted down and turned Nicole away, so Mrs. Lockwood couldn’t see her fearful expression.
Wendy Quinn looked warningly at Nicole: "Grandma... is the one who loves you most in this world. So, Nicole, the person you should love most is grandma, understood?"
Wendy Quinn lowered her voice again, whispering in Nicole’s ear: "If you don’t understand, I promise you won’t have the chance to see your mommy again."
Nicole trembled in fear, tears immediately streaming down.
As if Wendy Quinn was a demon.
Seeing Nicole cry, Wendy felt like her heart could crush Nicole: "Not listening again? Stop crying."
Nicole was so scared she dared not cry.
"Hahaha..." Mrs. Lockwood happily laughed.
She was right about Wendy Quinn; before Nicole thought Ivy Linden was most important, loving her the most.
But Ivy Linden’s love had motives, merely to maintain her status in the Lockwood family.
Actually, she’s the one who truly loves Nicole, because Nicole is her precious granddaughter,
Mrs. Lockwood, in her happiness, didn’t notice Nicole’s trembling little body.
Under Wendy Quinn’s threats, Nicole went to Mrs. Lockwood’s side.
Mrs. Lockwood held Nicole in her arms: "Yes! Grandma loves you the most. Nicole, you need to listen to your little mommy in the future, okay?"
Nicole sat on Mrs. Lockwood’s lap, then slipped down, little face full of pain.
Mrs. Lockwood frowned: "What happened? This is..."
Wendy Quinn hurriedly came over: "Nicole fell when getting out of the car earlier, maybe she’s feeling pain somewhere! Mrs. Lockwood... let me take Nicole to apply some medicine."
Mrs. Lockwood completely trusted Wendy Quinn now, without suspicion, she handed Nicole over to Wendy.
Wendy Quinn took Nicole into the room, and the maid brought some medicine. She drove the maid out on the pretext of bonding with Nicole.
She closed the door.
Wendy Quinn’s smile vanished: "Take off your pants by yourself, or are you expecting me to help?"
Nicole trembled, took them off herself.
Wendy Quinn threw the medicine to Nicole: "Apply it yourself."
Nicole’s tears fell, she couldn’t reach her behind but feared Wendy, her small hands shaking as she carelessly applied a few swipes behind her.
Wendy Quinn relaxed into the armchair, yawning leisurely, said again: "Today’s performance isn’t good, remember this, if your performance is poor next time, I’ll stick two needles into your behind."
Paused: "If you dare tattle, I’ll stick needles into your throat and heart, don’t ever dream of seeing Ivy Linden."
Such terrifying warnings again.
Nicole curled up, tears flowing continuously.
Wendy Quinn detested Nicole’s expression, she snapped: "If you love crying so much, kneel down and cry to your heart’s content! Don’t disturb my sleep, or you’ll pay dearly."
Wendy Quinn took a blissful nap.
She woke up an hour later, seeing Nicole kneeling on the ground, her little head bobbing in exhaustion.
She lazily said: "Get up."
Nicole instantly came to her senses, pushing against the ground, trying to get up, but her legs were numb from kneeling too long, she fell down again.
"Pfft~ haha..."
Wendy Quinn found Nicole’s falling posture amusing, she laughed joyfully: "You’ve behaved well, get up and take a nap."
Nicole fell several times before getting up.
She was about to go out, but Wendy Quinn stopped her.
"Who told you to go sleep in your own room? Sleep on my sofa."
Nicole really didn’t want to sleep in Wendy Quinn’s room.
But... she can’t let Wendy torture her to death, she wants to see mommy, she believes mommy won’t abandon her.
Nicole, with red eyes, climbed onto Wendy Quinn’s sofa.
Maybe she was too tired, she quickly fell asleep.
Wendy Quinn left the room, saw Mrs. Lockwood, and the returning Samuel Lockwood.
Her eyes instantly lit up.
"Where is Nicole?" Mrs. Lockwood asked.
"She’s asleep in my room, and seeing how soundly she was sleeping, I didn’t dare wake her up, let her sleep a bit longer!"
Mrs. Lockwood was very satisfied and said to Samuel: "Samuel, look at Wendy, how careful and good at taking care of children she is. Being with her is the right choice."
Samuel scowled: "Enough, don’t say any more... Whoever I marry... it won’t be her."
Wendy Quinn was heavily shaken, her eyes reddened: "Samuel... why are you treating me like this?"
