Chapter 658
As Nicole stared into Wyatt’s sincere and enthusiastic eyes, she couldn’t help but give in. How could she not relent? She was yet to forget him, even after five years had gone by!
She was about to respond to him when a knock came on the door.
“I know you’re here, Mr. Todd. Your mother requested we pick you up.”
Nicole drew her hand back as she suddenly returned to her senses. She put on an indifferent face again.
“It’s time you left. They came to take you home.”
He stared at the empty space in the palm of his hand and his face instantly went dark.
Turning to the door, he roared, “Get lost!”
The knocks stopped coming, but the bodyguards outside seemed to have no intention of giving up.
“You are the Todd family’s heir, Mr. Todd. You have to be responsible for the entire Todd family. You’re not allowed to just leave like this.”
Wyatt paid no attention to the bodyguard’s words and simply stared at Nicole.
A deadlock between Wyatt and the bodyguards began. No one wanted to relent.
Nicole no longer wanted to spend time waiting however. She recalled her mother had told her she would be coming over to see her. Her mother would be frightened if she saw the current situation.
“It’s best you leave now. My mother would be here soon. It wouldn’t be good for her to see this situation. She has a heart problem,” she urged Wyatt.
Still, he didn’t want to leave.
Right then, Kyra’s voice sounded from outside.
“Who are you? Why are you all at my daughter’s doorstep?”
Nicole and Wyatt simultaneously got up as they heard Kyra’s voice.
“Mom!”
Afraid her mother might be in danger outside, Nicole was about to rush out immediately.
“It’s alright. I’ll bring your mother in. Just stay here. Don’t come out.” Wyatt stopped her.
Then he hurried out.
“Wyatt, what are you doing here?”
Kyra was shocked to see Wyatt hurrying out of her daughter’s house.
“You finally came out, Mr. Todd! The bodyguards were elated.
“I told you to get lost! I’m not going to follow you back!” Wyatt shouted impatiently, standing in front of Kyra.
The bodyguards seemed embarrassed. “Don’t make this harder than it needs to be for us please. Mrs. Todd told us we have to take you home today.”
Kyra finally understood what was going on as she heard the exchange.
“Come with me, Wyatt.”
Wyatt responded politely, “Alright, Mrs. Swift.”
The two of them then headed downstairs.
“What’s happening?” Kyra questioned with a serious expression on her face.
Wyatt bowed deeply, his eyes sincere.
“I’m sorry to cause you so much trouble, Mrs. Swift. I had a falling out with my family, and these bodyguards were sent to catch me. Just trust me, please. I’ve fully decided to be with Nicole again. Give me one more chance please!”
Being aware of what was going on, Kyra sighed.
“I understand you, Wyatt. However, avoiding your family is not a good idea. You need to be brave and make Nicole feel secure enough if you still want to be with her.”
“But I’m scared…” Staring straight into Kyra’s gentle eyes, he finally bared his real thoughts. “I’m scared Nicole would suffer in poverty if I lost everything. She doesn’t deserve that…”
A smile formed on Kyra’s face, “Why would that be? You are both able-bodied and can earn your own money. Moreover, you should know Nicole better. Is she the sort of person to dislike you just because you no longer have any money?”
He felt a wave of enlightenment wash over him as he heard that.
“Thank you, Mrs. Swift. I now know what to do!”
After that he took out his phone and dialed his assistant.
“Send the e-mail I prepared to all the Todd family members right now.”
“Are you sure you want to do this, Mr. Todd?” The assistant was reluctant.
Wyatt was determined. “Yes, send it immediately.”
The assistant said nothing else.
Wyatt then hung up, and immediately, he felt relaxed. He could now be with Nicole without issue.
“Everything is settled, Mrs. Swift. Let’s head home.”
Kyra looked at Wyatt and felt her satisfaction increase.
“Let’s head home together.”
He then took Kyra upstairs.
Before all the bodyguards, he announced solemnly, “You can all head back. I just sent a document saying I voluntarily give up my inheritance to the Todd family to all family members, including my mother. I’m no longer the Todd family’s heir.”
