Chapter 97
Durell glanced at Jessica, who was completely clueless, then at his Humphrey and Greg. It was clear that his sons had realized Nina had an extraordinary identity. But Jessica, despite spending more time with Nina, hadn’t noticed a thing.
Sometimes, Darell couldn’t help but wonder how could his children be so different.
“Dad” Jessica noticed Darell’s gaze lingering on her and felt like he was seeing right through her. She shrank Why are you looking at me like that?”
Darell snapped out of it and sighed. Then, he said lightly, “Jessica, you should eat more walnuts”

“Walnuts“” Jessica was confused. “Why?” She thought, Weren’t we just talking about how nude Nina was! How did this suddenly turn into a conversation about walnuts What’s the comme
Then she heard Darell add in a resigned tone, “It’s good for your brain?
Jessica frowned in puzzlement
“P… Greg couldn’t hold back his laughter at Darell’s remark. He was surprised that his serious father could be th

As the eldest. Humphrey cared more about his image. So even though he found it amusing, he kept a composed demeanor, and his gaze toward Jessica carried a hint of pity.
He thought. Dad always goes easy on Jessica. Even he couldn’t help but criticize her jessica, you really need to wake up!
The men left the dining room, leaving Jessica behind with a mix of confusion and grievance. Even though her father and brothers hadn’t said much she felt thoroughly insulted
“Mom! What’s going on here? Nina is so rude! And that friend of hers doesn’t seem like a decent person either. He even said he’d deal with met In the past. Dad would’ve taught her a lesson, but he didn’t. Instead, he told me to eat walnuts! This is ridiculous!” Jessica was fuming-
It felt like her dad and brothers had some private group chat and excluded her. This sense of being left out made Jessica want to cry in frustration.
Rachel’s expression was cold. She felt there was something off about Nina too. There was an air of strangeness around her, but Rachel couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Damn it. What’s it? Rachel mused.
Nina didn’t care what the Woods family thought of her at all.
After leaving the Woods residence with Charlie, the two headed to the busiest part of downtown and indulged themselves,
“Damn, No. 9f You’re living such a good life now it’s no wonder your face has gotten rounder. Look at that! It’s all soft and squishy, Charlie teased as he pinched Nina’s chubby cheeks.
The girl was busy looking at the menu, ordering every meat dish she could find.
These for now! If it’s not enough, I order more later!” Nina handed the menu to the waiter.
“Of course, Miss,” the waiter said with a professional smile. But when he glanced at the dishes she had ordered, his eyes widened in shock. He quickly looked back at Nina, forcing a smile as be confirmed, “Miss, this seems like a lot for just two people. Would you like me to take some off?
“What? You don’t think we can finish it?” Nina said unhappily. That amount of food was barely enough to fill the gaps in her teeth.
“No, no, not at all” The waiter quickly denied it
“Or are you worried we can’t afford it!” Nina waved a credit card that Clifford had given her

“Then hurry up and get it ready!” Nina said.
“Okay, okay” The waiter laughed it off and quickly left with the menu.

Nina then turned to Clurlic with a grin and said, “No.3, since you came all this way to visit me, I’m the host! I’ll cover all Whatever you want to eat or play, just let me know. I’ve got money!”
Charlie raised an eyebrow at the snug girl and said, “I didn’t expect that family would treat you so
at you so well. They even gave you a credit card”
“It wasn’t from them! Clifford gave it to me. He was worried I wouldn’t have enough money, so he gave it to me? Nina clarified

“19k, Charlie snorted. The war machines had little fondness for Fei Chiyuan, and Charlie was no exception.
Sull, they had to admit that Chifford treated Nina extraordinarily well. With him looking out for her, the girl seemed to be living even more comfortably outside the division.
For Charlie, there were only two people in the world he cared about. One was Jacqueline, and the other was the silly and carefree Nina in front of him. Seeing her happy put his mind at ease.
“Alright, with Clifford watching over you, you should be fine out here, Charlie said.
He leaned back lazily in his chair and crossed his legs. Then, he pulled a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, popped it in his mouth, and asked, “Now that no one’s around, can you tell me about Jackie? 1 heard she wiped out those scumbags, and after that, the division has been hunting her. Did they catch her?“
“She wasn’t exactly caught, Jackie turned herself in. And with Clifford by her side, the division wouldn’t make things difficult for her, Nina said confidently
She had complete faith in Clifford. In her eyes, he was practically invincible, managing everything effortlessly at the division, as if nothing was beyond his reach.
“Really“” Charlie’s eyes narrowed at her words.
Having Clifford around offered some reassurance for him because the man was highly capable.
However, Jacqueline had eliminated her supervisor, which was a blatant threat signal for the higher–ups, Charlie doubted they would be lenient toward her.
After the war machines returned to their respective home, they weren’t supposed to leave those areas. But upon hearing about Jacqueline’s situation, Charlie couldn’t shake his unease, feeling like something significant was about to happen.
Then he had seen Jacqueline and Nina in the live stream together, which spurred him to act. He couldn’t ignore it anymore and rushed over immediately, only to find Jacqueline already gone.
Now learning that Clifford had taken Jacqueline back, he figured it wouldn’t be too hard to contact her.
After some thought, Charlie turned to Nina and said, “Nina, can you ask Clifford for help and let us talk to No.7?”
“Huh?” Nina blinked, staring at Charlie in surprise, and thought, ‘Did Charlie just say ask Clifford for help? Is this the same rebellious and wild Charlie I know?
ing all this
Nina could see he was serious this time and must be really worried about Jacqueline, probably even coming al way just to see her.
Without hesitation, Nina thumped her chest and said with a smile, “No problem, Charlie. Leave it to me. I’ll contact Clifford!”
