Chapter 6 People Laugh At Her

  • Patrick looks warm and temperament, who was not looked as domineering as Margot, and he speaks softly.
  • Nikita bowed her head, eating her breakfast seriously.
  • Margot and Patrick both stayed abroad for a long time when they were young, and their dining habits were westernized.
  • They even ate steak as their staple food in the morning.
  • Nikita didn’t like to eat so greasy early in the morning, so she took a few slices of toast and a cup of milk and an egg.
  • She eats very slowly, chewing the bread more than ten times in her mouth which can be said to be the ultimate in chewing slowly.
  • After swallowing the food in her mouth, she wiped her mouth with a napkin, slowly raised her head, and her voice sounded warmly: “Not bad.”
  • Two words that are neither cold nor warm.
  • Patrick smiled: “Get used to it. Your mother and I bought you a computer and a mobile phone. Are you used to it?”
  • “I haven’t used it yet.” That brand–new Apple mobile phone and computer Nikita have not unpacked, where they were put before, and where they are still now.
  • “Not use it?” Patrick wondered, “Why not? Don’t you like it?”
  • Before Nikita made any noise, Yvonne, across the white dining table, suddenly made a sound: “Dad, if you ask like this,
  • Nikita will be embarrassed.”
  • “Embarrassed?” Patrick frowned. “Why does she feel embarrassed?”
  • “Dad!” Yvonne’s delicate eyebrows frowned and blinked, as if giving Patrick a wink. “Don’t ask again, you know that the conditions in the place where Nikita used to live are not very good.”
  • Patrick stunned, after a few seconds, he understood what Yvonne means.
  • He forgot that his daughter Nikita was brought back from a poor mountainous area.
  • She used to live in difficult conditions. She must have never used such a good mobile phone and computer as Apple. The reason why she doesn’t use them was not because she didn’t like it, but because she couldn’t use it.
  • Patrick thought of this, he thought that the girls are thoughtful and considerat. He didn’t even realize this at all.
  • He was really afraid that Nikita would hurt his self–esteem, so he sipped his lips and coughed: “Well, Niky, you can ask your brother or Yvonne if there is any problem in life. Don’t feel embarrassed, there is nothing to be embarrassed about with your own family.”
  • “Of course, you can also ask your mom and me. We can teach you whenever we are free.”
  • “Well, you can tell me if you need any help. As long as I can help, I won’t be bothered. “Yvonne said enthusiastically with a sweet and demure smile on her face.
  • She looks at Nikita very displeased now.
  • The hillbilly brought back from a small village was faking better than she thought.
  • She buys novels in foreign languages and pretends that she is knowledgeable and understandable. She even has affectation at meal, chews more than ten times a bite of bread, and pretends to be very elegant and ladylike…
  • She’s never seen anyone so pretentious.
  • Clearly, she is a hillbilly, but she wants to pretend to be a noble daughter.
  • But there are some things that people can’t believe it just by acting.
  • Since she is so fond of pretending, let’s wait and see how she makes a fool of herself in school.
  • Perhaps it is because Patrick and Yvonne both expressed their views. Although Nathan was reluctant, he still said: “You can also ask me.”
  • Nikita looked at the three people who “cared for her” and smiled with one hand holding her chin. She looked good:
  • “Okay.”
  • With a light smile, the eyes looked at Yvonne again.
  • Yvonne was staring at her with bad eyes, then she suddenly met her eyes. She remembered that she was threatened by her neck in Nikita’s room last night.
  • A chill rushed down her back instantly, and she actually broke out in a cold sweat.
  • His face is also turned pale at once.
  • Nikita glimpsed at her with half–smile, and then slowly turned her eyes away.
  • Realizing that she was afraid of Nikita, Yvonne’s face was very ugly. She buried her head and vented her anger on the steak on the plate. When cutting the steak, she cut it on the porcelain plate several times and made a harsh noise.
  • This anomaly made Margot look askance several times.
  • “Nikita, I discussed it with your father.” Margot didn’t say anything about Yvonne. She picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the corners of her mouth.
  • “You will stay as an adopted daughter of the Swifts in the future. This will make you a little wronged, but there is already Yvonne at home, and her identity has been recognized by the outside world, so it’s hard to be changed.”
  • “Although it is the identity of an adopted daughter, except for being wronged in name, you and Yvonne are treated the same in other aspects.”
  • “Your father and I will treat you fairly.”
  • Yvonne raised her head and looked at Nikita, with a little smug in her eyes and a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.
  • Even if you are the biological daughter, so what?
  • The Swifts finally chose her who was not related by blood.
  • From last night until now, she has been holding her breath, and at this moment she finally feels ease in her heart.
  • “Nikita, do you have anything to say?” Margot seems to be consulting Nikita, but she is only a symbolic question. Whether Nikita agrees or not, she can only be the adopted daughter of the Swifts.
  • If she can’t accept it, go back to her Syracuse Village.
  • As long as she is not (stupid), she knows how to choose.
  • Even the identity of an adopted daughter is one hundred times better than that of a village girl in poor mountainous areas.
