Chapter 377


    The cicadas were still restless, and the afternoon sun was brutal in the early fall. Nicole was young and


    strong, so she did not feel anything. But she was worried that her grandmother could not stand the heat.


    So she and her grandmother walked in the shades of the trees all the way, and she gently fanned her


    grandmother with her hand.


    Nicole was preupied with Mrs. Wace Sr. all the way and had not noticed the familiar ck vehicle


    with the unknown logo trailing her.


    The car drove slowly and followed the two of them, not honking so as not to disturb them. It was Mrs.


    Wace Sr. who first discovered the vehicle. She looked back at it with some trepidation before she said


    to Nicole, “Do you see that there’s a car trailing us?”


    Nicole looked back cautiously. Immediately, a look of pleasant surprise filled her face when she saw the


    car.


    Mrs. Wace Sr. knew her granddaughter well and looked at her thoughtfully. She had never seen Nicole


    having such an expression before.


    The vehicle pulled up in front of them, and the window dropped, revealing Jared’s face inside. He


    nodded gently at Mrs. Wace Sr. and then looked at Nicole.


    “Do you want to get in the car?


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Nicole looked at him with a smile on her face subconsciously. Seeing her nod, Jared stepped out of the


    car and opened the rear passenger door for Mrs. Wace Sr.


    After she got in, he went around to the other side and revealed a graceful smile when he saw Nicole’s


    expression easing up.


    “May I, Nicole?” he said with a gesture.


    Nicole did not decline. She looked at Jared with a half-smile before getting in the car.


    If anyone saw this, they would open their mouths in shock.


    People would wonder what it took for someone to make Jared Johnston of San Joto their chauffeur, and


    in this case, an olddy and a little girl.


    Even the president of Hustuaburg would probably not get this privileged treatment.


    But Jared was not ashamed of it at all. Instead, he had a smile on his face, as if doing these things made


    him feel happy.


    He finally got into the front passenger seat and looked at Nicole in the rearview mirror.” Going back to the


    Riddle Mansion?”


    Nicole nodded, and Jared started the car.


    In order to take care of the elderly, he drove slowly with soft music ying in the background. The seat


    felt cool andfortable even in the scorching sun, with a faint scent of fragrance.


    Jared, who was sitting in the front, said to Mrs. Wace Sr., “Hello, I’m a friend of Nicole’s, Jared.”


    “Hello.” Mrs. Wace Sr. immediately broke into a smile, as she had a good impression of Jared.


    She then looked at Nicole with a knowing look in her eyes. Nicole felt embarrassed; she knew she could


    not tell her grandma that Jared was her fiancé.


    ”He is the owner of a café opposite our campus.”


    “I didn’t know that.”


    If he could open a café in a ce like San Joto, he must be pretty “okay”, Mrs. Wace Sr. thought.


    It would be even better if he was not someone with too high of a social status and did not find Nicole


    embarrassing him.


    Now, Mrs. Wace Sr. felt a lot more at ease.


    “This must be your first time in San Joto. I will show you around,” Jared said.


    “It’s so nice of you, but I don’t want you to trouble you.” Mrs. Wace Sr. was hesitant because she did


    not want to trouble anyone.


    “Not at all.” Jared smiled and motioned for Max to drive the car out of school.


    Along the way, Jared asionally struck up a conversation to make Mrs. Wace Sr. feel at ease.


    Seeing that Grandma and Jared were chatting happily, Nicole looked out the window.


    The dazzling sunlight was perfectly blocked by the window of the car, but she could still feel the warm


    and pleasant afternoon feeling.
