Flash Marriage: Pampered by Mr.Bigshot-Chapter 579 - 578: He has a Strawberry on His Neck

Only upon entering the Grand Gate of the old mansion did Nia Mitchell remember something crucial. She immediately stared wide-eyed at Maxwell Peary.

"Uncle, why are we visiting the old mansion?"

Good heavens, I should have asked earlier! That way, I could have prepared mentally and figured out what I should say.

"You don’t need to worry about it. Just sit over there, sip some juice, and eat some fruit."

He brought her along mainly because he was worried about leaving her alone. If Nia knew this was the reason he’d allowed her to come, she’d probably spit watermelon seeds all over Maxwell’s face.

"Then you must ensure that no one gives me a hard time on purpose."

Indeed, should anyone try to give her trouble, he would be there to shield her.

"Rest assured." Maxwell patted her little head and then got out of the car.

The old mansion remained as tranquil as ever, exuding an air of solemn grandeur from every corner.

Just standing here, one could feel the aura of the upper-class, an atmosphere that unconsciously inspired a sense of fear.

Nia, however, was the one person who wasn’t afraid at all.

Evelyn Peary was waiting outside the door. Seeing the two of them approach, she immediately ran over.

"Sister-in-law!"

Evelyn was over the moon. Even though Yancy Hastings had voluntarily agreed to dissolve the engagement, what mattered most to her was that the desired outcome had been achieved. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Nia felt somewhat embarrassed.

"You’re here too?"

Nia felt a bit awkward. She mumbled a reply and then continued walking forward.

"Of course, I had to be here."

Evelyn looked at Nia with curiosity. How can this girl be so clueless about everything?

"Um... what exactly are we here for?"

Nia decided not to ask Maxwell; he wouldn’t tell her anyway.

"Today, Yancy Hastings is coming to officially break off our engagement! I’ll finally, formally, regain my freedom! HAHAHA, aren’t you happy for me?"

This was indeed something worth celebrating.

"He’s coming to break off the engagement?"

Nia was taken aback. Only then did she remember what Evelyn had said earlier: Yancy Hastings was planning to come and formally break off the engagement after he was done with his work in a couple of days.

Also, just yesterday, he was with Fiona Sutton, and their relationship definitely didn’t look simple.

Thinking about this, Nia was thoroughly confused.

"Did Yancy Hastings say why he wants to break off the engagement?"

There has to be a reason for breaking off an engagement, right?

Besides, everyone knew that Yancy Hastings hadn’t initially agreed to break off the engagement.

"How would I know? I’m just thankful he’s willing to break it off."

Who has time to ask for reasons?

Evelyn was genuinely scared of Yancy Hastings, so she couldn’t be bothered to press for details.

"But you should still find out the reason, shouldn’t you?"

Hearing Evelyn’s irresponsible words, Nia felt that something wasn’t quite right.

She hadn’t quite grasped the implications when Evelyn mentioned it before. But thinking about it now, it was definitely something that needed careful consideration.

"Whatever the reason, I don’t care. All I care about right now is the outcome."

Evelyn chuckled. Since she was the one who wanted to break off the engagement, the reason wasn’t important to her.

If Yancy Hastings had been the one to unilaterally demand breaking off the engagement, she definitely would have asked for the reason.

"However... I saw a hickey on Yancy’s neck today."

Evelyn suddenly adopted a conspiratorial tone, leaning close to Nia’s ear to whisper.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Young Master Peary grew visibly unsettled at this sight. That’s my wife! You shouldn’t be getting so close and whispering in her ear like that!

Looking at Maxwell, Evelyn’s mouth twitched, her face adorned with a disgusted expression.
