Chapter 814 “Jared, I’m going back home.” Nicole called Jared on the phone. “The driver will drop you off, and I will see you at
your place at night.” “It’s been a long day for you. Don’t come tonight. I will see you at your company another day.” “Okay, then.
Take care and have a good rest. If I find out you don’t rest enough, I will fix you.” Nicole’s heart almost melted at hearing Jared’s
last sentence.
“Okay, bye-bye.” Hanging up the phone, Nicole went straight back to her home.
“Good to see you back, Nicole.” Gloria was delighted to see Nicole back; she had not seen Nicole in days.
“Mom, what are you busy with?” “I’m making you some snacks.” “How do you know I’ll be back?” Nicole looked at Gloria in
amazement.
“It’s Friday today. I figured you would come back this week, so I thought of preparing things in advance so you would get to eat
when you came home.” Gloria wanted to make up as much as possible for some of the love Nicole had missed as a child.
“Thank you, Mom. I feel so blessed having snacks to eat as soon as I’m back.” “Here you go. Move over to the couch.” Gloria
handed her a portion of the snack. “Don’t make anymore. This is more than enough. Come over. Let’s have a chat.” Nicole sat
Gloria down on the couch.
“Mom, where is Dad? I haven’t seen him since I’m back.” Nicole had been back for a while and still did not see Daniel.
“Upstairs with your eldest brother in the room. They’re working on a project.”
“You’ve been getting better lately, Mom.” “Really? I feel much better since you’re back, almost worry-free. Naturally, I will look
much younger.” Gloria seemed relieved. “I’m sorry to make you worry about me.” Nicole looked at Gloria and felt sorry. Had she
come back sooner, perhaps her mother would not have missed her so miserably.
“Silly girl, all parents worry about their children. I feel so blessed to have a
sensible daughter like you.” Gloria stroked Nicole’s hair. “Mom, I’ll make sure you feel the same all the time.” Gloria burst into
laughter upon hearing that.
Daniel was coming downstairs and happened to hear the laughter of the two.” You two look so happy. What is it about?”
Nicole heard the voice and turned to look toward the stairwell. “Hi, Dad.” “Glad to see you back, Nicole.” When Daniel saw
Nicole, all his troubles seemed to have gone away. “You haven’t been back in days. How were you doing at school?” Daniel and
others did not know about Nicole’s injury, and when Nicole called the other day, she had only mentioned that she was busy and
would not come home for a few days. “Everything is great. Just that I’m still busy with the sports day and can’t come home too
often. But after the sports day, I’ll have more time.” Nicole used the sports day as a disguise. “Really? Take care, then. Don’t do
everything yourself. Instead, let other classmates join you.” Daniel still felt sorry for her, afraid that the sports day would exhaust
his precious daughter. “Okay, Dad. Don’t worry.” “Daniel, you don’t look good. Are you not feeling well?” Gloria asked with
concern when she saw his face. “Alas, just don’t ask. You won’t understand even if I tell you.” Daniel looked hapless.
Sean saw Nicole, and instantly something came to mind. “Dad, since Nicole is back, why don’t you-“.
During the last business deal, Sebastian had helped the Riddle family because of his relationship with Nicole. So, Sean wanted
to try if he could also help this time.
