Daniel looked helpless as he tried to comfort his wife. "Didn't Jared purchase the estate next door? You can see Nicole just about any time you want."
"Yeah, I know..."
Even though Gloria knew that visiting Nicole would not be a problem, she felt awful knowing the fact that her precious daughter would belong to somebody else right after coming back to her for just a while.
Nicole glowered at Jared upon seeing how sorrowful her mother was. ‘I guess he's happy now. I agreed to marry him, but I've...’
Jared smiled wordlessly and he was not bothered by the discontent Nicole had for him. Nicole had no idea how to console Gloria either, so she just watched as Daniel did so.
“Anyway, this marriage is great news to both the Johnston and the Riddle Family, and I'll tell the old man about this tomorrow. Let's just consider this meal an early celebration,” Daniel said as he raised his glass.
Sean took a deep breath and did the same. "Nicole, Mr. Johnston, congratulations.”
Jared raised his glass happily. “Thank you.”
Everybody else raised their glasses in unison and congratulated Nicole, even though they did not feel like doing so.
Nicole looked at her brothers, parents, and grandmother emotionally. She felt elated that she had gotten all of her family member's blessings. It was simply wonderful, and Nicole would never forget that
meal.
After that, Nicole walked Jared to the door, as she reproached him. "You should've asked for my permission before you said those things moments ago.”
Jared smiled. "Well, you said yes anyway, didn't you?"
Nicole choked. "Gross."
Jared stretched his arm out and grabbed her skinny waist. "I'd do anything as long as you'll agree to be together with me. It's worth it, even though I've said something insensitive and offensive to my brothers-in-law.”
Nicole lifted her brows. “You're aware of that too, hun? Why are you still so hasty then? Wouldn't it be better for US to get married when I reach the local legal age?”
Jared looked at her with a serious look on his face. "You're just too perfect. I can't wait anymore.”
And just like that, Jared's words shut her up completely. She felt a little angry, but she could not deny that his words made her feel that she was loved.
"That's enough. You should get going now,” she said, unable to bear with his bossy and cheesy demeanor any longer.
Jared suddenly lifted his brows. "Are you really going to let me leave like that?”
"Huh?" Nicole was confused. "What do you want from me?"
‘To kick your a*s?' she thought.
Jared figured that she did not understand what he was trying to say. So, he swept his gaze across the inside of the mansion before he bent forward and gave her a peck on the lips.
Nicole's face felt very hot as she subconsciously took a step back. "Are you out of your mind? We're at my house!”
‘What if my parents or brothers saw this? How inappropriate would it be?!’ she panicked.
Jared smiled cheekily as he wore a salacious expression on his handsome visage. "Well, I have no choice but to kiss you goodbye since you won't do it to me.”
Then, he got into the car. "Goodbye, wifey.”
"Who are you calling wifey?!" Nicole blushed even harder and the urge to punch him in the face arose.
However, Jared had ordered his driver to leave the place as soon as he had gotten into the car.
Nicole had no choice but to suppress her anger and shyness. Then, she took a deep breath and went back inside.
Her parents had already gone upstairs after she had gotten back in, and Mrs. Wallace Sr. had also returned to her room too. However, her brothers were still waiting for her in the living room.
