Chapter 752
Classes for the day had ended. The next day was the weekend. Nicole got a call from her mother, Gloria, after school. Gloria asked Nicole to go back home to have a meal together and to accompany her for the next two days.
Nicole’s initial plan was to go home only after her wound was healed. But now, she had no choice but to forget it. She could only wear a long-sleeved shirt to go home with her three brothers.
On the way home, Spencer was worried about Nicole. “How’s your wound?”
Nicole did not lie about it. “Yesterday, Jared brought me to visit the best surgeon in San Joto. He said it wouldn’t leave a scar on me.”
“Really?” Spencer was surprised.
Samuel smiled surprisingly. “Jared’s not bad.”
Nicole smiled. “Yes. He’s not bad.” She said to herself, Jared cared about me the most.’
Nicole smiled happily while talking about a guy. It was rather a rare sight to see, so Samuel teased her,” Not bad. If you want to get engaged with him, I’ll support you.”
Spencer could not help but pull Samuel’s arm. “You have no principles.”
Samuel opened his eyes wide. “What does this have to do with principles? As long as Nicole likes him, that’s what matters. Am I right, Stanley?” Samuel looked at Stanley to seek recognition.
But Stanley shook his head. He disagreed with Samuel. “Don’t involve me in your argument with Spencer.”
Samuel and Spencer would always make up after their argument. But Stanley, on the other hand, would end up suffering the most whenever he became the third party being dragged into their argument. So, Stanley learned to stay out of it.
Spencer lifted his chin as he looked at Samuel. “Look, Stanley didn’t even want to bother with you.”
“He didn’t bother with you either.”
Stanley looked at Nicole calmly while Samuel and Spencer were still arguing against each other. “Nicole, I’ll support whatever decision you make.”
‘After all, Mr. Riddle Sr. gave the order. Jared’s not bad either. If Nicole agrees, there’s no reason for us to oppose it.’
“Okay.” Nicole nodded her head gently.
Soon, the four of them reached their home.
After they got out of the car, without thinking, Spencer and Samuel tried to help Nicole out of the car.
Nicole withdrew her hand quickly. “Don’t help me. Mom will know I’m injured if you guys help me.” She thought, ‘It’s just a minor injury. But with their help, I’ll look like I’m hurt badly.’
Samuel and Spencer withdrew their hands immediately. “We almost got caught.”
Gloria’s voice could be heard from the door after they said that. “Who almost got caught?”
Samuel and Spencer were terrified. They were at a loss for words suddenly.
Nicole was frustrated. She glanced at her brothers. “It’s nothing. Samuel and Spencer were fighting.”
Gloria knew the two of them always quarrel. So, she was not suspicious. “You guys aren’t kids anymore.
You should act mature in front of your sister. Stop arguing.”
Samuel and Spencer did not talk back. That was the least they could do to keep the cat in the bag. They could only promise their mother, “Got it.”
Gloria walked back to the living room with her children, and Daniel welcomed them with a smile.
“You guys are back. Your mother could not stop talking about you guys all week long. You guys are finally home.”
When the four of them saw the other two people there, they said, “Sean, Steve, you guys are home too!”
They rarely spent time together as a family, so Steve and Sean being there was a surprise.
