Chapter 354


    Nichs had heard that although his family and the Lindberg family did not have an in-depth


    partnership, the elders of the two families knew each other well and had maintained a good


    rtionship. This time Nichs got back, he even swung by the Lindberg’s crib and paid a visit to


    Carter,


    He was tight with James, who was a good friend of Lucian. He and Lucian hadn’t really shot the breeze


    much, but they were not total strangers either. It was just that he found it a little difficult to get along


    with someone as aloof as Lucian, feeling that they weren’t in the same league and not willing to tter


    to please. But he’d got basic manners, so Nichs got up and said. “Fancy meeting you here, Luca.”


    Allison also got up, and shot a nce at Penelope standing next to Lucian. Once Penelope caught her


    nce, she got all edgy and clung onto Lucian’s hand Allison cracked a smile, she didn’t expect

    Penelope to be so guarded. Her eyesnded on Penelope’s bulging belly, “Ms. nagan, you’re eight


    months in, arent you? Just two more months and you’ll be popping take good care of yourself”


    Earlier that morning, she saw Grace hustling to Epic Entertainment to drop off some chicken soup for


    her.


    Penelope subconsciously touched her belly, and she was a tad nervous about what Allison might say.


    She decided to beat her to the punch, “What’s your game here? What’s it to you? Allison, I’ve known


    you since we were kids. I know what you’re up to, but you can’ty a finger on my baby. This is mine


    and Lucian’s baby. If I’ve ever rubbed you the wrong way, you can me me, but don’t hold it against


    my kid.”


    Once she was done, she seemed a little spooked and hid behind Lucian


    Nichs frowned, “What’s that supposed to mean, Ms. nagan?” He had no clue about the beef


    between Penelope and Allison, but her words made him uneasy.


    Penelope didn’t know Nichs, she thought he was some boyfriend Allison had roped in, so she didn’t


    give him the time of day.


    But she didn’t expect this bloke to be quite a looker, how did he end up with someone in like


    Allison?


    Lucian frowned, and Penelope immediately clung to his arm, Lucian, let’s sit over there”


    Allison’s gaze never strayed onto Lucian, and the man just gave Nichs a nod, then looked away. He


    and Penelope went to sit by the window.


    Lucian was eyeing the woman’s silhouette, but the smile on her face was for Nichs, which annoyed


    him.


    Nichs watched Allison, who didn’t seem phased or put off by the earlier kerfuffle. Nichs bit his lip


    slightly. “That was Luca’s fiancee, she’s expecting so she might say something inappropriate. Don’t


    sweat it.”


    Allison chuckled slightly, looking up at Nichs, “I know her better than you do, I know what kind of


    person Penelope is “Seeing the confusion in Nichs’ eyes, she exined, “My mom used to be the


    housekeeper for the nagan family, and I grew up in their house”


    Nichs frowned slightly, for some reason, hearing Allison casually recounting her past made him feel


    a bit uneasy, as if something deep down was being stirred


    “He watched as Allison ate her fruit sd, “If you like this, I can get you a takeout box,”


    Allison shook her head, “No need, it’s too expensive here, I can make it myself at home.”


    But Nichs had already called the waiter and ced an additional order with some extra popr


    desserts,


    The cherry pie here is pretty good.”


    Allison gave a smallugh, “I make a meaner cherry pie.”


    Nichs asked. “Do I get a chance to try yours?”


    Allison suddenly asked, “Brother, do you like cherry pie?”


    Nichs was taken aback, surprised to be called brother by a girl. Seeing Allison’s radiant smile, he


    also felt a tinge of joy, “Cherry pie, never had it.” But he wasn’t much of a sweet tooth.


    He asked, “What did you just call me?”
