Chapter 2331
"Mrs. Riddle is already occupied with Samuel and June's wedding. Aren't we just going to add to her burden?" Lulu asked,
feeling a little worried.
"Don't worry about that," Nicole said with a smile. "First of all, there'll be people helping my mom with it, and secondly, I believe
the news will only delight my mom. It's not going to be a burden to her at all."
"Yeah, there's no doubt that she'll be happy. After all, it's not the first time she has rushed us to get married." Samuel shrugged
his shoulders, feeling a sense of relief as his family would never pressure him to get married from here on out.
"I didn't expect that guys like you, who have so much to offer, would be pressured to get married." June lifted her brows,
surprised that Spencer and Samuel, who possessed such qualities, as well as a reputable family, would face a problem like that.
"Although I don't know what they're thinking, I believe it is a nationwide phenomenon, and it has nothing to do with the
individual." Samuel shrugged his shoulders, harboring the thought that no child in the world could escape the fate of being urged
into getting married.
Ding-dong.
The doorbell rang and Lulu immediately stood up. "It's probably the dinner I ordered."
She quickly marched for the door as she spoke, and there, she saw that it was indeed the dinner she had ordered, so she
brought it in.
Very soon, all of them sat down in the dining room with dinner prepared on the table.
"We had initially planned to take everyone out for dinner, but we ditched the idea considering Samuel's current condition. " Lulu
stated. "Is there anything else any of you would like to eat? I can order more."
"It's okay. This is more than enough."
"I'm good. This is already a very decent meal."
Lulu smiled. Let's dig in then."
"We'll eat here for tonight, and I'll treat everyone to a meal once my leg recovers." Samuel promised confidently.
"Sure. We're going to have a feast then," June chimed in, as she figured that Samuel's recovery could be a cause for celebration
too.
"That's a good idea. We can invite more people and have a gathering," Nicole agreed, knowing that it would be a joyous
occasion for the entire family.
As they ate and chatted, they became so merry and joyful that they lost track of time.
Suddenly, Nicole's phone rang, and when she took a look at it, she saw that Jared was calling. She swept her gaze across the
time on the screen display, and there, she realized how late it was getting.
She answered the phone, and in an apologetic tone, she said, "I'm sorry, I lost track of time. We're almost done eating, and I'll be
home soon. Can you put Nolan and Lana to sleep first?"
"I'm downstairs," Jared calmly said.
Nicole could not help but feel a little surprised. "What?"
"Yeah. I just got done with work, so I came to pick you up," Jared continued gently.
"Oh, I'll come down now then," Nicole replied, and hung up.
Nicole knew that Jared had something else to do in the company, but she was not expecting him to work till late at night. If
anything, she thought that he had already gone home.
After that, Nicole looked at the rest of them apologetically." Hey, I'll be heading back now. Carry on, guys."
"Yeah, you should go home now since Mr. Johnston is already here to pick you up." The others nodded in agreement.
They felt at ease knowing that Jared had come over to take Nicole home.
And with that, Nicole left the apartment and made her way downstairs.
Sure enough, she saw Jared's car, but then, he was waiting for her outside of it.
Jared walked toward her and gently stroked her hair. "You look happy."
Jared could tell that she was in a very good mood and figured that they must have had a great chat.
"Yeah. Both of them have decided to hold a joint wedding. I'm sure that Mom and Dad will be delighted to hear this news."
Nicole's eyes lit up as she said.
She genuinely thought that it was a great piece of news. Not only had her best friends found happiness; both of her brothers had
also finally found the love of their lives. It was something that would bring joy to the entire family.
"They're all getting married?" Jared frowned as he looked at Nicole, feeling a little frustrated deep down.
