Chapter 1219


    "Why do you look so pale?"


    Jared looked at Nicole, concerned.


    "Really? I don''t really feel any sort of difort anywhere," she replied."


    Perhaps I was just rushing during my journey home.


    "Grandma, I''m fine.I''ll be better after I take a rest."


    Nicole turned to her grandmother, not want Mrs.Wace Sr.to worry about her.She really did not feel


    weak or ufortable at all.


    Seeing that Nicole was taking her own condition lightly, Jared became annoyed, "You''re already looking


    this sick and yet you insist that you''refine? Are you waiting for the day when you copse to finally


    acknowledge that you''re sick?


    "You should head upstairs and get some rest," Jared advised.


    Nicole looked at Jared.


    ‘I haven''t really spoken to grandma yet, so why is he asking me to take a rest already?’


    "It''s fine.I''d like to stay here and have a little chat with grandma for a while.If you want to catch some


    rest, you can do so on your own,"


    Nicole finished, and turned to Mrs.Wace Sr.Jared knew that Nicole would not listen to him anymore,


    so he turned to Mrs.Wace Sr.


    "Grandma, look at her being all stubborn even with the way she looks. Please tell her off."


    "Nicole..."


    "Grandma, I know my body well, so you need not worry about me.I''ll be staying here with you for a


    while.After that, I''ll head upstairs to get some sleep."иσν???вσσк.￠σм Nicole said, taking the initiative to


    stop Mrs.Wace Sr.from persuading her.


    Seeing this, Jared could not help but issue a sigh and stare at Nicole.


    "Alright then.Anyway, what brought you home so suddenly?" Mrs.Wace Sr.asked, clueless about the


    fire at Martin''s factory.


    "Oh, we''re on a two-day break and I thought you haven''t seen me in a while.Because of this, I felt that I


    shoulde back and pay you a visit, so you wouldn''t be worrying about me."


    Nicole did not tell her the truth.


    After all, it would only make Mrs.Wace Sr. anxious, and that would not be necessary.


    Jared felt relieved when he saw Nicole withholding the truth from the olddy because he did not want


    Mrs.Wace Sr. to worry about it as well.


    "You''re a lovely granddaughter."


    Mrs.Wace Sr. smiled with a look of gratitude on her face.


    "Nicole, you''ve been engaged to Jared for a while now.Shouldn''t the both of you pick a date and get


    married already?" иσν???вσσк.￠σмMrs. Wace Sr. asked, throwing the million-dor question at them.


    Nicole''s flushed a bright shade of red at once, as she never thought that Mrs.Wace Sr. would raise a


    question about this matter.


    Concurrently, Jared was also stunned, but he soon realized that it would be a good thing for him.


    "Grandma''s right, we should really start thinking about this." Jared smiled and gave Nicole a look of


    delight.


    ''How did I forget about something so important? Thankfully, her grandma raised the question, or else, it


    would still be sitting at the back of my mind"


    "What is there to think about? Quit screwing around."


    Nicole warned as she turned around to look at him reproachfully.


    "How is this a joke? That was grandma’s idea." Jared said, using Mrs.Wace Sr. as a shield with


    which to deflect herebacks.


    "You!" she fumed.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    ‘Forget it! I''m not going to argue with him. In the end of the day, he won''t be the only one to determine if


    we get married or not.!


    Nicole turned around, smiled at Mrs.Wace Sr., and exined, "Grandma, we''re all busy now. We''re


    not in a hurry to get married yet."


    "How could you not be in a hurry? If you''re not in a hurry, I am. There will always be an endless bout of


    work for you to get busy with.With my old age, and if the both of you don''t get married soon, I''m not


    sure if I''ll get to witness your marriage."


    Mrs.Wace Sr. seethed as she looked at Nicole.


    She had been waiting for that day toe: the day when Nicole could get married and find a forever


    home with the man she loved.


    That was Mrs. Wace Sr"s biggest dream.


    "Of course, you will.With the fact that you''re in such good health, I''m sure you can see US getting


    married," Nicole said, saddened by Mrs.Wace Sr"


    Looking at Mrs.Wace Sr"s head of white hair, she thought, ‘Grandma''s worry is valid"


    Nicole hugged Mrs.Wace Sr., as her eyes reddened, "Grandma, you must take good care of yourself.


    You have to be there during the day of my wedding in the foreseeable future."


    Mrs.Wace Sr.patted Nicole''s back andforted her. She knew that her words must have worried


    Nicole.


    "I''ve always been healthy, andI''m sure I''ll be able to attend your wedding.I''m just a little worried for the


    both of you."


    "Don''t worry.Once we''re done with much of our work, we''ll get ready for the wedding.When that day


    comes, you must dress up well, attend the ceremony, and be our witness."


    Nicole mustered out a smile and looked at Mrs.Wace Sr.
