The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Loves to Send Cute Emojis_1

She couldn’t imagine how a middle-aged man who liked wearing Tang costumes and was usually quite serious could bring himself to use those cute and somewhat... greasy emoticons on his phone with its limited symbols.

She had asked Audrick in private, and Audrick said he taught him, telling Stanley that little girls liked cute things and that using cute emoticons could quickly close the distance between two people.

As a result, Nathalie was often bombarded with various cute emoticons by the Zachmann family.

[Stanley Zachmann: Your birthday is coming up in a few days. Grandpa wants to celebrate it for you. Do you have time? (*?▽?*)]

[Stanley Zachmann: I also want to celebrate your birthday for you, I never got the chance to before. This time, we finally have the chance. If you don’t like it too lively, we can just invite a table of people for dinner. Dad wants to celebrate your birthday for you. o(╥﹏╥)o]

”Nathalie, are you a bit cold? I’ll close the window for you,” Jhovany Sullivan said as she shivered and kicked the seat in front of her where Justin Wafford sat.

”Bro, close the window.”

Justin Wafford: ...

God damn brother!

He closed the window with a loud bang, visibly frustrated.

Jhovany thought he was targeting her, and the two of them started arguing again.

Nathalie, covered in goosebumps and very irritated, had no mood to deal with their childish quarrels and couldn’t figure out what mischief they were up to this time.

[Audrick Zachmann: Grandpa wants to go back to McKinney to celebrate your birthday as his leg is not well, and Dad doesn’t want him to come here. Are you free tonight to give him a call? What others say doesn’t work on him, he only listens to you.]

[Stanley Zachmann: Nathalie, where would you like to eat for your birthday? How about the Waterfront Pavilion we went to last time? Audrick said you liked it. ”^o^”]

Nathalie hadn’t figured out how to reply to them yet.

Then a message from Leonardy Zachmann came in.

[Leonardy Zachmann: Nathalie, what gift would you like for your birthday this weekend? I’ll buy it for you.]

Nathalie’s forehead twitched fiercely.

She didn’t reply to the Zachmann family messages, but immediately clicked on a certain someone’s profile picture and quickly typed a line in response.

[QN: Did you ask Audrick about my birthday?]

She thought Amadeus wouldn’t see the message that quickly.

But to her surprise, a reply leisurely floated back after just a moment.

[Amadeus Yancey: When I was messaging you, Edric was also there and saw it. He wanted to celebrate your birthday for you, so he asked Audrick. What’s wrong? Did it cause any trouble for you? I’ll talk to him.]

Thump!

Nathalie, with nowhere to vent her frustration and not willing to blame Lily for being nosy, forced herself to suppress the gloom between her brows.

She silently replied.

[QN: Oh, it’s nothing.]

Remembering the little one’s previous tear-filled eyes holding onto her, despairingly calling himself a ”little cripple,” her heart softened. Her movements hesitated, and she sent him another message,

[QN: Don’t be hard on Edric; he’s still sick.]

After replying to Amadeus, she massaged her forehead, took a deep breath to calm her nerves, and finally replied to Stanley.

[QN: Let’s go with Waterfront Pavilion.]

[Stanley Zachmann: Alright, then I’ll set the reservation. Oh, and Nathalie, invite a few friends to join us. I’ll call the classmates we ate with before. Your class teacher is a nice person; I’ll invite them too, along with the head teacher and Mr. Jones... Hm, I’ll think of some more people to invite when I get back.]

Nathalie had initially wanted to tell him not to invite anyone, but after thinking it over, she decided to send messages to Silvania Ingram, Lowie Wilmar, and Owen Yapiter.
