Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to visit Again!
’Yeah, I don’t know how mum and dad are doing now,” Nicole replied.
’I’ll accompany you after work to pay them a visit.” Jared suggested out of the blue.
‘You want to accompany me?” Nicole looked at him in surprise, as she wondered if he really was asking to visit the Riddle family. ‘What has gotten into him?’
“That’s right. Didn’t your parents mention that they haven’t seen me in a long time? I’ve always wanted to visit them. Since I’m pretty free today, let’s pay them a visit after work.” Jared calmly explained to Nicole.
‘Okay, but you’ll have to pick me up then,” requested Nicole.
‘No problem,’ he said.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in Nicole’s mind. She turned to Jared and looked at him shyly as she did not know how to bring it up.
“What’s the matter?’ Jared posed the question, as he realized that Nicole had something to tell him.
“The last time I returned home, my parents asked me about our wedding.” Nicole glanced at Jared awkwardly.
Jared understood what she meant and replied, “So, what you’re trying to say is, you want me to be mentally prepared for the questions?’
’That’s right. If they happen to ask any questions which you’re not comfortable with, can you…”
‘Don’t worry. I know what to do. I won’t put you in a difficult position.” Jared assured, as he knew what she was thinking.
Nicole heaved a sigh of relief and a smile gradually appeared on her face.” That’ll be great. Actually, the last time I returned home, I’ve promised them that we’ll get married soon.”
When Jared heard this line, he almost spat the wine out of his mouth, whereupon he looked at Nicole in disbelief, “You’ve promised them?”
“Are you okay?’ Nicole passed him a paper towel hurriedly.
Jared waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
it’s not as you imagined. At that time, I only mentioned that we would think about it when the both of US are not as busy. I did not give them a specific timeline, so don’t you worry about it,” Nicole quickly explained to Jared.
Hearing this, Jared issued a sigh of relief. Marriage was truly a significant matter. Regardless of what, the both of them should communicate about it. Fortunately, Nicole had not made them any promises. Otherwise, the both of them would be in great trouble.
“Actually, I did think about our wedding, but there have been a lot of things happening as of recent,” he said. “I’m worried that you wouldn’t be in the right mood for it, so I never mentioned it to you. I was waiting for the right time to discuss it with you.
“Since you’ve already mentioned it, I thought I’d express my thoughts to you now,” Jared spoke to Nicole with an affectionate look in his eyes.
Seeing that Jared was speaking about the matter in a serious manner, Nicole gulped and stared at him with a look of solemnness in her face.
‘I have thought about working on the wedding preparations soon. Since we’re on the same page, I guess the universe has spoken. Let’s go to my parent’s place and talk about this after lunch. What do you think?” Jared suggested to Nicole with an equal degree of solemnness.
“WelL.I actually wanted to tell you that I don’t intend to talk about our wedding today,” she said.
‘We’ve been really busy with work for the past months, and work has truly just begun to catch up on my end. It’s not the right time to have our wedding now. Therefore, the sole purpose of the visit today is purely to just check on my parents. If my parents do not mention the wedding, let’s just remain silent about it. Otherwise, we’ll have a lot of explaining to do.’ Nicole looked at Jared with her forehead creased and a brow raised.
“Oh, so that was what you were trying to say. I thought…Never mind, we’ll talk about the wedding when your work is settled. I’ll just accompany you to visit your parents today.” Jared said, having understood Nicole’s intentions, and respected her decision.
‘Thank you for understanding.” Nicole smiled at him.
“No biggie. Let’s continue eating,” he said.
After lunch, Jared drove Nicole to the Riddle Residence. On the way there, they bought the family some gifts.
They slowly drove into the house. After they had parked the car, Nicole and Jared got down and entered the house together.
“Mum! Dad! I’m back!” Nicole shouted as she pushed the door open.
