Chapter 146 How Could They Do Such A Thing!
Kelly breathed deeply before speaking again. “How come.”
Right now Nova had helped Mabel to take the seat of honor.
Nova greeted him with a nod and a smile when she saw Baldwin King.
In fact, Nova felt embarrassed somehow every time she met Baldwin because she didn’t know how to
address him after her marriage breakdown.
He wasn’t Sian, who was always on bad terms with her therefore she could call her aunt indifferently.
But Baldwin had always been nice to her… It would be strange to call him uncle suddenly.
At last, Nova didn’t utter a word before Baldwin, calling him uncle would sound distant.
She had been used to calling her dad–in–law before but it would be weird to call that in the
presence of so many guests.
In a moment, Old Mr. King appeared smilingly. Facing the compliments of the guest he
answered cheerfully.
And only Kelly noticed that Henry didn’t show up yet.

Gentlemen, here I’d like to introduce my granddaughter to you.”
All the guests were stupefied.
“Granddaughter? Does Mabel have a granddaughter?”
Even Sian cast an astonished look at Mabel’s words. What the hell is she doing?! Among the
astonishment of the crowd, Mabel had already pulled Nova along. Nova came to her senses.
“Grandma…?”
“Nova was my granddaughter–in–law before but I have regarded her as my own dear
granddaughter. Now she has divorced my grandson Henry but she is still my grandchild forever!” Mabel
continued.
Orville glanced at Mabel with a slightly annoyed look but he didn’t utter a word in the end. His
heart overflowed with tenderness at Mabel’s move.
Mabel was his love for life and he couldn’t say a single no to her at all. He had indulged himself in
business all his life and now the only thing he wants to do was to spend the rest of his life with Mabel
happily.
So he would like to let her hair down as regards these tiny things, let alone today was her
birthday, Orville didn’t want to make her sad.
Mabel added regardless of people’s surprise in their eyes. “I’d like to announce while I’m at it that Nova
will be a part of the King family from now on. She was an orphan but later she will have her name on the
King’s family tree. This is a decision carefully and widely discussed.”
Sian’s face fell. “Mom…”
Before she could say more Mabel interrupted her nodding, “Well, I know you are fond of Nova

too. Now Nova can call you mom as always. Though she wasn’t your daughter–in–law, she could be
your own daughter now. That’s a good thing indeed. What’s your take on it?”
Sian remained a stiff look on her face. It’s done now, what else can she do to change the
situation?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Sian was trying to think what to do next Baldwin smiled in approval. “Mom is right. Over the years, I
have grown quite fond of Nova, she will be my daughter all the time though she wasn’t the wife of Henry.”
Sian couldn’t do anything but grudge a fake smile even though a tide of rage surged through
her.
Kelly clenched her fists with a look of flusters in her eyes.
What Mabel did today was a slap in her face in public.
She was telling everybody that Nova was the one truly accepted by. the Kings, not her!
Coupling with what Nova said to the media could spell doom for her! The series had burned her bridges!
How could they do such a thing to her?
But…
Kelly wouldn’t believe that Mabel had been thinking to do it for a long time after she saw the
video of Nova.
She was ecstatically happy!
Almost went mad with joy!
