“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 two acting so strangely?" Nicole looked at them with her head tilted.
‘Ignore them. Let's just play,” Samuel interrupted, ending the topic.
After some time, Gloria's voice echoed from the kitchen. "Lunch is ready."
‘Nicole, let's eat." Sean walked up to the dining hall with Nicole.
Samuel and Spencer, who had turned their games off, also went over to eat their lunch.
Seeing that the dining table was filled with dishes, Nicole was shocked. ' Mom, isn't this too much?"
‘You don't come back every day, so of course, we must have a feast," Gloria replied.
‘Quick, sit down and see if my cooking skills have improved or not.” Gloria smiled as she waited for Nicole's review.
Sure.” Nicole sat down and took a bite of her favorite dish.
"It's still amazing. Mom, I think you've actually improved.” Nicole beamed, and complimented Gloria.
Gloria was over the moon when she heard Nicole's compliment, and the smile on her face lingered for a while.
‘Here, try some of these.” Gloria continued to get Nicole to give her other dishes a try.
‘Wow, this is really good! It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Samuel, Spencer, try it!" Nicole suggested.
"Is it really that good?" Samuel took a small bite, doubtful and skeptical of his mother's cooking.
‘Damn, it's really good! Mom, why don't I see you making this dish on a daily basis? You're playing favorites! You're only making good food when Nicole is around," Samuel complained and acted like he was upset.
"You should be grateful that you're getting something to eat. Stop complaining," Sean jabbed at him.
‘Let's dig in. Don't just stare at the food," Nicole reminded them as she looked around.
Then, all of them started eating, and from time to time, compliments would fill the dining area, leaving Gloria flattered.
‘Is it really good or are you all just trying to make me happy?” Gloria asked, starting to doubt them. 'Why are they being so sweet today?’
"It's really good. Try some." Nicole placed a few pieces onto Gloria's plate.
