Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 166

The kindergarten teacher was startled by Luna’s sudden reaction. She froze for a moment before she slowly pointed in the direction of the nurse’s office. “ Nellie got injured just now, and Neil is currently with her at the nurse’s office.“

As soon as she finished her sentence, Joshua immediately stomped off in the direction the teacher had pointed. Luna had no choice but to trail along behind him. The two adults stormed into the nurse’s office in a flurry of panic.

Inside the nurse’s office, Neil asked, “Which flavor do you like more: original or garlic?“ He was perched on the examination bed as he munched on a chicken drumstick.

“They’re both yummy! “ replied Nellie with her mouth full. She was clutching another chicken drumstick in her hand.

“Alright, then let’s sneak out to order some more tomorrow,“ beamed Neil. He reached out an oily hand to pinch Nellie’s cheek. “Tomorrow, we’ll pretend that I got hurt, and you can accompany me to the nurse’s office again.“

“Okay! “ Nellie nodded in enthusiasm. She paused for a moment as if suddenly recalling something. “Neil, Mommy never lets us eat fried chicken. She says it’s junk food. Today is the first time I’ve ever had junk food, and it’s the yummiest thing I’ve ever eaten! “ she exclaimed.

Neil raised his eyebrows in agreement. “I agree, it’s delicious! Nigel did say that fried chicken isn’t healthy, though, so we can’t have too much of it.“ After he finished his sentence, Neil immediately lifted the necklace he was wearing and spoke into it, “Isn’t that right, Nigel?“

Nigel’s stern voice came from the necklace, “ Mommy’s here.“

Neil’s eyes widened upon hearing this. He immediately hopped off the bed and hid the fried chicken. “Quick, Nellie! Pretend like you’re sick! “

Slam!

The door to the nurse’s office slammed open just as Nellie climbed onto the bed.

Joshua stormed into the room, followed closely behind by a flustered Luna and an even more flustered school nurse. “Mr. Lynch and Ms. Luna, please calm down…“ the nurse cried out in desperation.

“Nellie! “ Joshua exclaimed as he rushed to the bedside. “What happened?“

“Daddy…“ Nellie looked up at him and pouted, showing him her bandaged hand. “I accidentally cut myself with a knife during class… It hurts! “

Joshua gave her a helpless look as he glanced at her bandaged hand. He picked her up and immediately shot a glare at the teacher who had followed them into the nurse’s office. “How irresponsible are you guys? My daughter ended up getting hurt on her first day of school.“

The teacher replied, wringing her hands, ”She just got a small cut on her hand… ”

”A small cut?” he snarled. ”Look at the way her hand is bandaged. You call this a small cut?

”My daughter hasn’t gotten hurt, not even once ever since she returned to my side, but she got injured on her first day of kindergarten. ” He scowled at Luna. ”

What kind of school is this? Why did you even choose this place? I ‘in taking Nellie to the hospital right this second to get an X-ray, and if she suffers a fracture, I’m holding you responsible, Luna. This kindergarten is so irresponsible, I’ll close this place down in an instant.”

Joshua was just about to storm out of the room when Nellie suddenly cried out, ”Daddy ! ” She was alarmed that her father would be holding Ms. Luna responsible for her incident, and more so by the fact that he would close the school down because of this.

”I’m… I ‘in fine! ” Nellie declared as she ripped off the bandage to reveal her perfectly intact and unwounded hand. ”I’m not hurt! ”

Joshua frowned and lifted her hand to check. He looked all over and discovered that his daughter was indeed not hurt. Immediately, a dark look crossed his face. ”What happened?”

Neil silently watched it all happen, but as Nellie had confessed, he decided there was no point trying to hide anymore. He brought out the chicken drumsticks that he had hidden underneath the bed and explained, ”We wanted to eat fried chicken, so we pretended that Nellie was hurt to distract the nurse and ordered food delivery without her noticing.”
