Chapter 2447 After settling Nicole down, Jared's phone rang again.
He sighed helplessly and went to the balcony to answer the call.
"You punk.
You're even avoiding my calls now." Mr. Johnston Sr. sounded annoyed.
"I was occupied just now," Jared explained calmly.
Mr. Johnston Sr. was vexed.
"If Mr. Riddle Sr. didn't tell me, how long were you planning to keep this from me?" Jared knew exactly what was going on after
hearing this accusatory tone.
Mr. Riddle Sr. had called Jared's grandfather and informed him about the children, so his grandfather came to question him.
"I didn't intend to keep it from you.
It's just not convenient to disclose it openly right now," Jared justified patiently.
“Hmph! Mr. Riddle Sr. knows, so why can't I?" Mr. Johnston Sr. questioned angrily.
As grandfathers, they both had the right to know.
"Give us some time.
I'll explain everything to you," Jared said, feeling helpless.
"It's late.
Get some rest." With that, Jared hung up the phone.
Otherwise, his grandfather would keep questioning him.
But Jared could not promise him anything right now.
After all, he had not even told Nicole about his grandfather.
In fact, he did not tell her anything related to his family.
He did not want to burden her when her memory still had not fully returned.
However, things had come to this point, and Jared believed that it was finally time for him to head back and explain things to his
grandfather.
He looked back at the room, his gaze softening.
'She should know some things by now,’ he thought.
The next day, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was clear.
As usual, Jared accompanied Nicole to Riddle Corporation.
However, as soon as their car stopped, another car pulled up in front of them.
Jared could not help but feel a bit exhausted at this strange occurrence.
Although he found it strange that the car had stopped in front of them, Nicole got out of the car without much thought, so Jared
followed suit.
“Do you need something?" Nicole asked, confused when she saw him getting out of the car.
"I planned to tell you some of this in the future, but I'm afraid you have to know about it now," Jared said.
There was no avoiding it now.
His grandfather was here, and even if he did not say anything, it was something that could be swept under the carpet.
Before Nicole could ask what he meant, a loud voice was heard as a figure approached them.
“You brat! You found your wife, and now you're neglecting everything else, huh?" Nicole turned to look.
Even though that person was elderly, he appeared quite spirited, almost appearing younger than their actual age.
However, there was one thing that did not make sense to her.
‘This person just called someone a brat.
Who's he referring to?' In her confusion, the elderly person had already arrived in front of them.
He was raising his walking stick and was about to lash out at Jared.
Nicole's expression changed, and she instinctively blocked the cane, frowning slightly.
"Sir, how can you injure someone in public?" ‘Who is this person? How dare he call Jared a brat! He even tried to hit him! Does
someone like this actually exist in San Jato? Or did he mistake Jared for someone else?’ Mr. Johnston Sr. was stunned as he
looked at the unfamiliarity in Nicole's eyes.
She even sounded hostile.
“Grandpa, let's head inside and talk," Jared suggested.
Nicole blinked in surprise.
"Grandpa?" “Well, that's about right.
Young lady, you've disappeared for five years, and now that you're back, you don't even acknowledge me anymore.
You didn't even let me see your kids even though you've taken them to see Mr. Riddle Sr.,'' Mr. Johnston Sr. grumbled
discontentedly, already walking toward the Riddle Corporation building.
Nicole's mouth twitched.
'Did he just respond to me? I wasn't even addressing him.' She turned to look at Jared, her eyes filled with questions.
‘What's going on?’
