?Chapter 3252 A Simple Life Has Its Own Beauty


    Nina stuck out her tongue, thinking that Karen was crying because her bond with Percy had weakened.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    However, it turned out that she was actually upset about losing her status in the Mallory family.


    Nina could not understand why people chased after so many unnecessary things.


    A simple life had its own beauty.


    Chasing after all that nonsense was what truly made life exhausting.


    Nina nced at the time and said, "I''ll be heading back to the apartment in a bit. I want to get some decorating done over the weekend so that things won''t be so hectic right before the wedding."


    Percy agreed, "Alright. Need any help?"


    "Nope. What kind of decorating skills do you have anyway? I''ve already asked Luca and Sue to help out. They''ll being over." Nina, recalling the yful flick from earlier, could not resist giving his forehead a yful flick of her own.


    Percy felt a bit more at ease seeing that Nina was not dwelling on Karen''s situation.


    Nina seemed carefree on the outside, but she was actually quite sensitive. That was why he always paid close attention to her feelings and was careful about many things.Content belong to N?velDráma. Org.


    The little incident in the morning did not affect Nina at all. By noon, after having lunch, Nina headed over to the apartment.


    All the little decorations she had bought for the wedding and the apartment had been delivered there. The property''s management staff were kind enough to hold onto everything for her.


    Nina made several trips upstairs, carrying the items.


    A young woman from the property''s management also helped out.


    After they finished, Nina tried to give her a tip, but she refused, shaking her head. "Thank you, but no need. Mr. Mallory specifically asked us to help out. It''s our job."


    When Nina heard this, she immediately understood that Percy had already asked them to help.


    When he made a request, no one would say no.


    Nina thanked the young woman again and then went back to the apartment, pulling off all the dust covers.


    Just as she finished, the doorbell rang.


    Nina opened the door to find Sue and Luca both there.


    "How did you both get here together?" Nina smiled, weing them in.


    "We just happened to run into each other downstairs," Sue replied, letting go of her hand as Kari and Teri ran excitedly to the couch, looking at the unopened packages.


    "Ms. Nina, do we get to open all these?" asked Kari and Teri.


    *Yes, they''re all for decorating," replied Nina cheerfully, only realizing now just how many packages she had ordered.


    There were so many that she could probably sell the cardboard to a recycling collector and make a few bucks. "There''s so many!" eximed Kari.


    Rainie, who was a bit older, let go of Luca''s hand and said to Nina, "Ms. Nina, I knew Ms. Luca wasing today, so I tagged along too. Don''t worry, I won''t cause any trouble!"


    "You''re all such good kids. I know none of you will cause any trouble. Come on in," replied Nina.


    They all entered the apartment.


    After Nina closed the door, she grabbed the drinks she had just bought from the store downstairs. "There''s nothing here yet, so I had to grab some drinks from downstairs. If you want anything specificter, just let me know and I''ll order it."


    "As long as we have something to drink, that''s fine. No need to go out of your way." Sue said casually, watching Kari and Teri circling around the stack of packages. She urged Nina, "Come on, Nina, start opening these boxes so that we can help you out."


    "Yeah, let''s get started," added Luca. She was not too surprised by the mountain of things Nina had bought. After all, Nina had already revealed her tendency to go overboard when it came to wedding shopping. *Alright, let''s do it!" Nina grinned, grabbing a pair of scissors and opening the packages one by one.


    The boxes were filled with wedding supplies, and Rainie carefully sorted them into different categories. "You really went on a shopping spree! I was wondering why you kept getting so many texts and calls. It turns out they were all from delivery guys!" Sue joked as she helped open the boxes.


    Kari and Teri sat nearby, happily sipping their drinks and watching the adults unpack the deliveries.


    "I''ll help too," offered Luca. "You''ve been carrying these packages up by yourself for a while, haven''t you? Why didn''t you ask us to help?"


    "It didn''t take that long. Percy arranged everything with the property''s management, so they helped out. We just used a cart to bring them up in the elevator. It was no trouble at all," Nina assured her.


    *See? Mr. Mallory is always so thoughtful," remarked Sue.


    Nina''s face reddened.


    "Ms. Nina, your face is all red!" Kari giggled.


    "That''s because Ms. Nina is thinking about her wedding day. It''s a happy blush!" Sue teased with augh.


    "You''re marrying Mr. Percy, right?" asked Teri.


    "Yes, that''s right!" Nina''s face turned even redder as the two little ones questioned her. Even though she and Percy were already legally married, the thought of the uing wedding filled her with joy, and she felt like she was floating on air.


    "That''s wonderful!" eximed Kari.


    "Congrattions, Ms. Nina!" added Teri.


    "Sweethearts, why don''t you watch some TV for a bit?" Nina could feel her face flush from all the teasing, so she grabbed the remote next to her.


    Then, she turned on the TV.


    With the cartoons ying, the kids were quickly absorbed in the screen, giving the adults space to continue unpacking the boxes.


    The three adults continued to open packages.


    Once everything was opened, Nina began assigning tasks to help with the decorating.


    Two hourster, they had hung up all the decorations.


    Kari pointed at a bunch of balloons and asked, "Why aren''t we putting up those balloons?"


    "If we put them up now, they''ll lose air before the wedding. We have to wait until the night before Ms. Nina''s wedding to hang them!" exined Rainie, remembering that her parents had done the same thing for their


    wedding.


    "Oh, I get it now!" Kari nodded, looking up at Rainie with admiration. "You''re so smart, Rainie!"


    Rainie blushed at thepliment. "Not really," replied Rainie modestly.


    "You''re definitely smart! My mommy says you''re amazing. You have great grades, you''re kind and pretty, and you''re even good at ballet. She tells us all the time that we should learn from you." Teri continued to shower Rainie withpliments.


    Rainie blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise.


    *Exactly, exactly! Kari, Teri, you should definitely look up to Rainie. But just like me, you two don''t have much of a talent for dancing, so I''m not expecting you to take up ballet or anything like that. Just focus on your studies and pick up a hobby you enjoy. That''s all I ask," Sue chimed in.


    "Ms. Sue, I think Kari and Teri are pretty talented at drawing," said Rainie, noticing how engaged the two were with their drawings. Nina, worried they might get bored, had brought out some pens and paper. The kids were happily immersed in their artwork.


    *Kari does seem to love drawing, but Teri seems more interested in music. In a few days, when their dad has some free time, he''ll take them to the music store to check out the instruments and let them pick something cool


    to learn, replied Sue.


    She was not one to push her kids too hard and preferred a moreid-back approach to parenting.


    Now that they were getting older, she was starting to think more about nurturing their interests and hobbies.


    Teri gently tugged on Rainie''s sleeve. "Rainie, when I leam to y the piano, can I y for you while you dance? You look so beautiful when you dance!"
