Chapter 144: Uncle Robin, The Benefactor

“Sigh, Nicole, you must have been discovered by mommy long ago thanks to your lousy acting skills,” Winnie said helplessly as she held her forehead.

“Galen! Where are you going? Stop right there!” My first reaction was to call out to Galen, who was running out. My face was cold as I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at him.

Next, I gave Nicole, who was sitting up in bed and desperately fanning herself, the same serious look.

“Luna, listen to us. We didn’t mean to lie to you…” Galen slowly walked over with a conflicted expression. He held his head in his hands in a comical manner, and spoke like a criminal.

“Mommy, I know I’m wrong… but we have our difficulties. If you want to be angry, be angry at Galen. It’s all his rotten idea!” Nicole leaned over and carefully said. Her eyes were watery and there was a layer of sweat on her forehead due to the heat of the blanket.

“Luna, as long as you’re not angry, I’m willing to commit seppuku to apologize!” Galen suddenly made an exaggerated expression, and then made a stabbing gesture with his hand.

“Mommy…” Nicole grabbed my arm and shook it as she pleaded with a pitiful tone.

Of the two, one was acting extremely anxiously, as if something had really happened to Nicole. The other believed Galen’s rotten idea and was burning up under the covers, pretending to be having a fever.

…..

Under the combined attacks of Galen and Nicole, I really couldn’t pretend to be angry. Looking at their funny expressions, I shook my head, amused and angry. “Mommy really thought you had a fever. I was so scared that I raced all the way back, I was so anxious.”

“It’s all my fault for not expecting mommy to be anxious…” Nicole lowered her head and said weakly.

As long as Nicole was healthy and safe, I was relieved. At any rate, their prank on me was better than Nicole actually going to the hospital with a fever.

I let out a sigh of relief and pulled Nicole and Winnie into my arms. I smiled and said, “You two has learned some tricks from Galen. Tell me, what is it this time?”

I’d been chatting happily with Robin in the lab, and the results of that wolf’s semen test would be out soon. This call interrupted my original plan.

“Uh… Galen said you were going on a date with Uncle Robin. We didn’t want that, so we tried to get you back,” Nicole said, looking up from my arms and pouting.

A date with Robin? I laughed out of anger and looked at Galen, who was still squatting by the wall. “Galen, what did you say to them?”

Shaking my head helplessly, I added, “Besides, I went to find Robin for a very important matter. It’s not for a date!”

“Then what are you hiding from us?” Galen pursed his lips in disbelief.

This rendered me speechless. I couldn’t say that I was going to ask Robin what kind of species the giant wolf that I had been making love to all night was, could I?

This was too bizarre! It was too difficult to say!

“It’s a secret, I can’t tell you,” I said with a sigh.

“Mommy, I don’t want Uncle Robin to be my father…” Nicole suddenly interrupted, feeling extremely wronged.

In fact, even as a child, Nicole had a feeling. After all, she had heard from her mommy that the time when she first arrived abroad and brought along two weak babies was very difficult. She had to rely on Uncle Robin’s help to survive, her mommy had also said that Uncle Robin was a great benefactor to her.
