Only then did Mabel notice that Henry was coming, and her face was overcast with displeasure suddenly. “You spoiled brat! How do you come to be so late? You didn’t give a shit about your grandma at all!”
“How dare I,” Henry said tonelessly and then he shot Nova a casual glance. “Grandma now has al granddaughter, how could you find time to care about the granddaughter?”
Instead of taking offense, Mabel smiled. “You naughty kid! Are you poking fun at your grandma? Nova now is my real granddaughter, which means she will be your father’s daughter and your little sister from this day on.”
Nova: “…”
So was Henry
All the guests were also wordless.
Are you serious, Old Mrs. King? From wife to ex–wife and then to little sister? What kind of jokes are you talking about?
But Kelly cheered up at Mabel’s words. Brother and sister? Good for her! Now there was no way back for Nova and Henry.
She came forward with all smiles regardless of others‘ responses. “It would be great for you two!
I’ve been worried that the relations between you two will be awkward after your breakdown of marriage but things get better than I thought before. You guys are certain to get on well as siblings. It is the best ending for you!”
Ending.
There was hidden meaning under the word.
Their paths diverged gradually and led to the endgame of their love relationships.
Zona sneered silently. What’s wrong with Kelly? Or what made her so anxious?
Sometimes the more she said, the worse the situation would get.
She thought she was sexed up her image, but in fact, what she said was counterproductive and
dubious.
People were looking at Henry subconsciously to see what his answer gonna be.
This was literally an interesting birthday party!
Truly wonderful.
And next what Henry said really live up to the crowd’s anticipation. Henry’s voice was cooly. “Nova is the grandaughter of you and the daughter of my father, but it doesn’t mean she is supposed to be my sister for no reason.”
“You…” Before Old Mrs. King was going to say something more about it.
Baldwin stopped her hurriedly. “Mom, we’d better not intervene in the business of their young. Today is your birthday, let’s warm up the party.”
Mabel had only to nod with resignation. “Fine, let’s start.” She knew Henry well, who had a

stubborn personality.
Orville, who had been sitting next to Mabel, looked at the crowd and said, “Everyone, there was the same routine in previous years. So today let’s cut the crap and go down to the business. Thank you very much for attending today’s party and thank you for your best wishes for us.”
Baldwin then raised his glass in salute. “I propose a toast for us all.”
Saying this, he drank up the wine.
People rest then followed him and drank up.
Much of the time a wonderful event required a good host and much high–sounding crap.
In fact, people had already tired of a party of that kind.
So the host might as well cut the crap and let the guest help themselves.
Especially when the host were people of high status like the King family, the guest would still feel it stacked up with few simple opening remarks.
It was clear that Henry had no intention to give a speech.
Then the company all took their seats.
The Kings were going to sit at the same table beyond doubt. How about Nova? Nova didn’t
confuse for too long because Mabel had decided for her directly.
She pulled Nova back to her side and asked toughly, “Sit next to me, I won’t happy without your company!”
Then she gave Henry a look. “Same as you!”
Hearing this, Orville’s face was clouded. “What about me?!”
