The instant the wedding was mentioned, Nicole became weak in the knees. She had not given it much thought just. In fact, she had simply acted on the spur of the moment when she promised Mrs. Wallace Sr., as she saw how excited Mrs. Wallace Sr. was about their marriage."I only did that to make her feel at ease. If you have any opinions about the wedding, you can always talk to me about it." Nicole suddenly shot him a solemn look, thinking that Jared was unhappy because she had not discussed it with him and had promised Mrs. Wallace Sr. on her own."I do have my own opinions." Jared's magnetic voice sounded out to her ear."Tell me, what are they? If you don't agree to it, it's not too late for you to back out and find someone better for you." Nicole looked at him calmly."You're thinking about these things? Did anything happen abroad? Anything that I wasn't aware of after I came back here?" Jared's gaze became even more piercing.The people he was most concerned about were Harvey

Nicole thought it would be a ruin with nobody around. However, as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Claus.Claus immediately chuckled when he saw Nicole as he walked toward her. "Why are you here, Miss Riddle?"Jared had given him an arduous task early in the morning itself, making him think that he was going to be utterly bored for the entire day, which was why he did not expect Nicole to come over."Did Jared send you here?" Nicole guessed.Claus laughed. "M-hm. You're right, Mr. Johnston sent us here to claim everything that can be salvaged before clearing the area for reconstruction."'I've got to give him credit where credit is due. Jared really is efficient,' Nicole thought."Alright, carry on," she said. "I'll go and have a look."Claus quickly stopped her. "Miss Riddle! This place is already in ruins, what's there to see?! It's not safe to walk here. Please don't get yourself hurt."Nicole shook her head. "It's fine. I'm just going to look around."Then, she aske

"We've been keeping well. Was it tough working abroad? You don't look so good."Gloria was really observant, as she noticed that Nicole did not look like she had been sleeping well."Haven't you been sleeping well?" Daniel heard Gloria and had also noticed that Nicole did not look like she was in good shape."Ah... I do get enough sleep over there, but I came back in a rush yesterday. I'm probably just experiencing jet lag, so I'm fine." Nicole explained while feeling guilty.'It's all Jared's fault,' she thought. 'I won't be this tired if it wasn't because of him.'"Did you rush back here because Martin's factory had caught fire?" Daniel guessed.Judging by how hasty her return was, Daniel figured that it had something to do with Martin."Yeah, I was informed that his factory was on fire, so I took the earliest flight home." Nicole said without anything.She did not feel the need to hide anything from them as they were different from Mrs. Wallace Sr."It was a pretty big fire

"You must've visited Mrs. Wallace Sr., right?""Yeah, I came over from her place," Nicole said."Nicole, you've been engaged to Jared for some time now. What's the plan?" Daniel studied Nicole with his eyes.Sean and Steve chortled as they immediately knew what Daniel was trying to say.Nicole was watching Samuel playing his game when she heard Daniel's question, and so, she lifted her head and asked, "Huh? What plan?"Daniel saw that Nicole did not understand him, so he pushed it aside. "Nothing. Go ahead and play your games. I'll see if there's any good food in the kitchen."Sean came to sit next to Nicole after Daniel had left. "Nicole, did you not understand dad or are you just pretending that you didn't?"Confused, Nicole looked at her with a frown. "What are you saying? I wasn't pretending at all."Sean looked at Steven when he saw that Nicole really did not understand what their father had meant, but they did not burst her bubble. "Seems like you didn't.""Why are you t

"What are you laughing at?" Gloria and Daniel looked at Nicole, shocked."Nothing, I'm laughing at them playing their games," Nicole casually said."Mom and Dad, I've stayed for some time already, so I'll be leaving now. If it gets any later than this, I'm worried that I'd just be bothering Jared's grandpa when I visit," Nicole explained as she looked at her parents."Sure, hurry up, then. Are you coming back to stay for the night?" Daniel looked at Nicole in anticipation."No, I'll have to meet Jared at night, so it's going to be very late if I do come back here. I'll just be disrupting your sleep," Nicole explained."Yeah, going back and forth can be really tiring. Please remember to take care of yourself when you're abroad and get the rest you need," Daniel reminded her as he was worried."Don't worry, I'll be fine. If you miss me, just drop me a video call," she said.Nicole did not wish to leave them either, but there were matters that required her attention, so leaving was
