บท 1795: Nox Proposes

Shelly could not help but laugh. She always felt that wherever Monica was, happiness would follow. 

She recalled how much Monica had changed at one point in time — how she became more self-disciplined and powerful but lost all her smiles at that expense. Shelly believed that Monica was more suitable to be pampered, just like how Dr. Jones was doting on her now. 

"Why isn't the main course served yet?" Monica frowned.

Jeanne chimed in at that moment. "It might not be ready yet. Can you go check on it?"

"Alright." Monica stood up.

The moment she got up, she suddenly asked Bella, "Bella, do you want to come with me?"

Bella hurriedly got down from her chair and replied, "Yes."

The child was probably getting impatient and wanted to walk around, so Shelly did not refuse. Just like that, she watched as Monica led Bella away, leaving only her and Jeanne at the dining table.
