The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 90: Sugar Can Also Be Deadly

Nancy Miller looked at Holly Sawyer, seemingly pondering, seemingly thinking about how to respond to Holly Sawyer’s words, her face conflicted.

"Lollipops can be cloyingly sweet, but they can also be deadly."

Holly took a handful of lollipops from her pocket and placed them on the table, then unwrapped one and popped it into her mouth, speaking slowly.

The taste of the lollipop was sweet, very sweet, sweet to her core, and sweet things can also heal one’s mood.

However, sometimes something too sweet can also be deadly.

Poppy flowers are beautiful, but they are a very deadly thing.

Nancy tilted her head, looking at Holly, not quite understanding what Holly meant, her expression somewhat puzzled.

How can lollipops be deadly?

"No matter what it is, looking at the surface and tasting it may not actually reflect reality, like poppy flowers."

Holly spoke slowly, her gaze towards Nancy was serious.

I quite like Nancy, this young girl not yet out in society is very easily confused by others.

"Sister..."

Nancy looked at Holly, unsure of what to say.

What Holly said were all truths, she should listen carefully.

"As long as I’m in Bexley, you can do whatever you want, I’ll have your back. When I’m not in Bexley, you need to know when to restrain yourself, because distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

Holly clasped Nancy’s hand, placing a lollipop in her palm, lightly curling her lips as she spoke, her tone exceptionally earnest.

This is her promise to Nancy, to protect Nancy to the best of her ability.

Even if she’s not in Bexley, she can still protect Nancy, just with a bit more trouble.

"Sister, you’re so good."

Nancy’s eyes instantly turned red, she gently bit her lip, trying her best not to let tears fall.

It genuinely felt moving, Holly’s promise made her very touched.

This is the feeling of being cared for.

The feeling of being cared for by others is truly wonderful.

Nancy doesn’t know how strong Holly’s abilities are, whether she can really cover for her no matter what she does, but Nancy knows clearly, just Holly’s words alone moved her.

No matter one’s age, anyone likes being held dear, that feeling of being cared for by others is truly magical.

"No one’s kindness to another is everlasting, you must know how to be kind to yourself."

Holly spoke slowly, meaning Nancy should learn to be kind to herself, other people’s kindness might just be temporary.

Nancy doesn’t understand worldly matters as much as Holly does.

Nancy nodded, "Mm, I understand."

"Sister, will Isaac Walker’s matter be traced back to you?"

Nancy lightly bit her lip, looking at Holly with worry.

She’s afraid, afraid this matter will find Holly, will drag Holly into trouble.

Although the matter was done by Holly, it was to vent Nancy’s anger.

Holly: "It won’t."

She never leaves any loose ends in what she does, otherwise how could she have lived so long?

Many people know lollipops can kill, know there’s someone who specifically uses lollipops to kill, yet have never seen her.

Nancy and Holly chatted for quite a while, Holly didn’t tell Nancy about her identity, Nancy was curious but didn’t ask.

Holly doesn’t want to say, so asking would be pointless.

After the National Day holiday ended, Holly went back to school, and on the day of registration, Leo Grant accompanied Holly.

"Brother, can I not go to school?"

Holly hesitated and walked into the school, blinking at Leo Grant.

Her purpose of going to school was to get close to Nancy, now that she’s already close to Nancy, she feels there’s no need to go anymore.

School is really boring, and she already understands and knows everything there.

Leo Grant refused Holly, "No."

How could a young girl not go to school? It would be boring staying home alone, going to school to make new friends is good too.

Leo Grant wants Holly to go to school, not to learn something, but to make friends.

Holly asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because brother likes how serious you look when you’re studying."

Leo Grant gently rubbed Holly’s head, his tone very gentle.

Holly nodded, "Okay."

"Hey, Hol... Holly."

Diana Curtis greeted Holly from afar, she jumped over, waving, her face full of an excited smile.

Diana’s personality is openly carefree, still able to be carefree in public, she’s a very genuine girl.

"Hello, Young Master Grant."

Diana approached and greeted Leo Grant.

Well, the more she looked at Holly and Leo Grant, the more she felt they were a perfect match.

Leo Grant nodded to Diana, "Mm."

"Brother, go to work, you can play with your classmates, okay?"

Leo Grant glanced at the time, gently asking Holly.

Work is important, and so is the young girl.

Holly nodded, "Okay."

"Brother, be careful on the road."

Holly waved goodbye to Leo Grant.

"Hey, leader, don’t you have any thoughts?"

After Leo Grant left, Diana kept staring at Leo Grant’s back, she nodded slightly, looking at Holly with a gossip face.

Hmm, Leo Grant is really handsome.

He’s handsome when cold, handsome when gentle, she’s lucky to have seen both sides.

There are many women in Bexley who want to marry him, naturally, he can’t be bad in any way. Some are drawn to Leo Grant’s looks, some to his wealth.

"What kind of thoughts?"

Holly was puzzled for a moment, looking at Diana’s eyes with some confusion.

Thoughts?

What exactly?

"Leo Grant spoils you so much, I think you two must be very sweet."

Diana looked at Holly, speaking mischievously.

She wants to see sweet love, wants to enjoy it, suddenly having masochistic thoughts, but Holly doesn’t cooperate at all.

"We aren’t together."

Holly glanced at Diana, her expression indifferent. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Leo Grant’s previous words, ’I don’t want to be your brother anymore,’ Holly understood what it meant.

But, she can’t make a choice.

Such a thing as love can be honey or arsenic, sweet at first, who knows if it might become lethal later.

It’s actually the same principle as lollipops. Lollipops are very sweet, can be sweet to the core, but in her hands, they’re a deadly poison.

"Leader, aren’t you considering it?"

Diana asked, steadily looking at Holly’s profile.

Maybe everyone’s thoughts differ, what they have in mind is different.

As for her, if Jasper Hayes said he wanted to be with her, she would definitely go for it without hesitation, even knowing Jasper Hayes was just using her, even if it ends badly.
