Chapter 1023 The kitchen was filled with laughter, while the man in the living room was restless.
His anxiety was interrupted by the sight of Nina bouncing down the stairs with a bag of chips.
He waved to the little girl in an uncharacteristic move, âSerenina Ziegler, come here.â
Nina, thinking she had been caught redâhanded, quickly hid the chips behind her back, âI only had a little bit, donât punish me.â
Bernard was too preoccupied to care about her snack intake, he just nodded at her, âDo me a favour and I wonât punish you.â
With that, Nina approached him and asked, âWhat do you need me to do?â
Bernard glanced at the kitchen and said, âGo smooth things over with Eleanor.â
Nina immediately understood, âDid you tick off Eleanor?â
Bernard shot her a look, âDonât ask what youâre not supposed to.â
Nina pouted, âYouâre asking me for a favour and youâre being mean. I wonât help you.â
Bernardâs indifferent eyes fixed on the snacks in her hand, âYour choice, want to be punished or do as I asked?â
Upon hearing this, Ninaâs cheerful expression vanished, âYouâre such a jerk...â
Bernard shrugged, âThereâs plenty who donât like me, one more wonât make a difference.â
Nina found talking to him to be infuriating, especially with him having something on her. What a pain!
She gritted her teeth, thrusted the chips into Bernardâs hands, âIâll do your bidding, you keep an eye on my chips. When Iâm back, you feed it to me!â
Bernard watched her determined figure, chuckled and tossed the chips to a maid, âJust throw it away.â
Unaware of her chipsâ fate, Nina ran into the kitchen and hugged Eleanorâs leg, âEleanor, are you mad at Bernard?â
Eleanor didnât expect Bernard to send Nina as a peace envoy. She chuckled and pinched Ninaâs nose, âYour plea wonât help.â
Nina gave her puppy eyes, âIâm not pleading for him, I just feel sorry for him. Please donât be mad.â
Eleanor remained unmoved. Nina tugged at her clothes, âEleanor...â
Nina wouldnât usually butter up Eleanor for Bernard, she must have been caught doing. something sneaky. âDid you steal snacks again?â
1/2 12.18 Chapter 1023 Nina, frightened, waved her hands frantically, âNo, definitely not! Iâm just doing him a favour!â
Kids will be kids, easily lured into spilling the beans, âAs long as you didnât take any. If I find out, youâll get a spanking.â
Nina nodded vigorously, âDonât worry, I wonât.â
Eleanor gently pushed Nina away, âOff you go, time to wash up for dinner.â
As Nina turned to leave, she looked back, âEleanor, are you still mad at Bernard?â
Eleanor smiled gently, âNot anymore, now off you go.â
Nina cheerfully ran out of the kitchen.
But her joy was shortâlived when she was told by the maid that her chips had been tossed in the bin.
Nina plonked down on the floor, complaining loudly, âLiar! Big fat liar!â
Bernard shot her a cold glance, âCry louder, let your beloved Eleanor hear.â
Nina immediately clamped her mouth shut, âIf I wasnât scared of Eleanor finding out about me sneaking snacks, Iâd cry all night just to annoy you!â
Bernard replied indifferently, âEat less. Losing weight when youâre older is tough.â
Even though it was sound advice, why did it sound so annoying?
Nina complained, âBernard, youâre so annoying...â
Just as Bernard was about to retort, Eleanor emerged from the kitchen. He swiftly stood up and headed to the dining room.

Taking the plate from her hands, he looked at her cautiously, âDarling, are you still mad at me?â
Eleanor didnât respond, she simply said, âLetâs eat.â
Then she went to call Nina, not giving Bernard a chance for a private word.
After dinner, Eleanor spent time with Nina, helping her with homework and telling bedtime stories.
Even though Nina was still young, Bernard, who had always insisted on gender boundaries, never entered Ninaâs room, waiting patiently outside.
