Nelly responded with a grin. She did not reply to her question, but the answer was obvious.
Thalia looked at the wine before her, and she could not hide her curiosity. “How did you know I’de and look for you?”
“I didn’t. I was just trying my luck,” Nelly said with a smile. She picked up the winess and gently swirled the wine before taking a sip.
Nelly exuded anguid yet casual vibe.
Thalia looked at her and could not quite believe what she said. Why would she get two winesses ready when she was just trying her luck?
Thalia had not had much interaction with Nelly , but she could roughly figure out what kind of person Nelly was after several encounters. Thalia thought Nelly was emotionally distant, mysterious, stand-offish, and fearsome-looking.
Thalia had always been fearless, but she always felt a tad uneasy whenever she was around Nelly . It was as if Nelly could peer into her soul and read her mind.
Thalia could not help but ask, “Tony asked me why you invited me to the manor today.” She looked at Nelly and continued, “I didn’t think too much about it, but now I would like to know why you
invited me to your family dinner. I heard that it was you who suggested for me to stay overnight.”
“Why do you think I did this, then?” Nelly asked while arching her brows and taking another sip of wine.
Thalia shook her head. “I can’t read your mind…”
Nelly grinned. “What’s wrong? You’re Darz’s top assassin. Don’t tell me you’re scared.”
“I’m not scared, but I have this indescribable feeling in my heart. It’s like you know me through and through,” Thalia said.
Nelly did not utter a word in response to her remark.
All of a sudden, Thalia froze for a bit. She lifted her eyes and looked at Nelly .
“H-How did you find out…” Thalia asked before realization dawned upon her. “Tony told you?” Nelly nodded.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
Thalia gazed at the woman. “What else did he tell you?”
“Everything. Everything I should know, and everything I shouldn’t know,” Nelly said. Her reply rendered Thalia speechless.
After a short pause, she looked at Nelly . “What exactly do you want to talk to me about?” “Anything,” Nelly said.
She still looked casual and was unperturbed by Thalia’s surprise reaction. It was as if she just wanted to have small talks with Thalia.
Thalia knew there was more to this than met the eye. She can’t possibly wait here for me merely to have a casual chat with me.
Nheless, Thalia knew Nelly would not y tricks behind people’s backs. She wouldn’t have
invited me to stay had she had other hidden agendas in mind.
Thalia steadied herself and looked at the woman before her. “Sure. Let’s chat.” Nelly poured herself another ss of wine and said, “Cheers.”
Thalia’s eyes darted from side to side. She then clinked her winess against Nelly ‘s. Two beauties enjoyed sipping their red wine underneath the moonlight.
Thalia nced at Nelly . “You want to talk about the triplets, right?” Nelly turned her attention to Thalia and nodded. “Yes.”
“Y-You want them to quit?” Thalia asked. That was the only question she could think of. “What if I say yes?” Nelly asked.
Thalia knitted her brows. “If that’s the case, I’m afraid I don’t have a say in this.”
Upon noticing Nelly remain silent, Thalia continued, “Darz would never force anyone to stay or leave against their will. Do they know about it?”
“No, they don’t.”
“You should talk to them first,” Thalia said.
“I wouldn’t have to talk to you had I wanted them to quit the group!” Nelly said. Thalia got even more confused. “So, you mean…”
“You should know what Tony ‘s talent is. He has achieved a lot at such a young age. I’m not sure if he’ll be even more capable in the future, but if it happens, he’ll make many enemies,” Nelly said.
Thalia looked at her. “So, you’re worried about his safety.”
Nelly nodded while looking Thalia in the eyes. The former’s expression turned solemn.
