Chapter 1274


    Rat-Tat-Tat.


    A few knocks on the bedroom door woke Nicole up from her dreamy slumber.


    ‘Come in,” she said.


    Tia walked in to see Nicole rising from her bed, and said, “Nicole, the food is ready, and your grandma


    is in the dining room.”


    “Okay, I will be right there.” Nicole yawned and stretched, after which she got out of bed and headed


    downstairs.


    In the dining room, Mrs. Wace Sr. was waiting with great anticipation for Nicole. She had heard from


    Tia that Nicole was back.


    “I’m home, Grandma.” Nicole strutted over to take a seat next to her grandmother.


    ‘How is it that you’re back so soon this time?” Mrs. Wace Sr. asked, happy but also puzzled at the


    same time.


    “Are you getting annoyed with me already?” Nicole yfully and rhetorically asked.


    “What are you talking about? I couldn’t wait for you toe back. Why would I be annoyed with you?”


    her grandmother asked.


    Then she served Nicole a piece of her favorite dish. “Eat up and get some rest for a while, since you


    juste home.”


    “Well, I won’t be leaving for a while this time,” Nicole said in lighthearted fashion.


    ‘That is great. I will make you delicious food every day.” Mrs. Wace Sr. beamed, loving the idea of


    having Nicole by her side every day.


    ‘Yeah, I’m going to be stuffed like a pig, then,” Nicole joked.


    After the meal, Nicole and Tia helped Mrs. Wace Sr. up to the rooftop to enjoy the view of the sea.

    It was then that Tia looked at Nicole with her head tilted and asked, ‘Did you have a good time


    abroad?”


    “Not really, not as much as here, at least.” Nicole gazed off at the sea before her eyes, feeling at ease.


    She could leave all her worries in the sea for the moment and not think about any of it. Then she


    remembered the gifts that she had asked Harvey and Kelly to purchase. “Tia, did you receive the gifts


    I’ve brought for the both of you?”


    “Gifts?” Tia beamed.


    “Yeah. There are a lot of them.” Nicole smiled as she looked at Tia.


    “Where is it?” Tia asked, unable to wait to see the gifts.


    “Haven’t they arrived long ago? Did you not receive them?” Nicole looked at Tia in surprise.


    “Nope. Could they have been sent to the wrong address?” Tia spected.


    “No way… Oh, I remember; it should be with Harvey.” Nicole suddenly recalled the incident at the


    airport, where she had allowed Harvey to head home first in order for her to investigate the suspicious


    man.


    Realizing that gifts must also be at his ce, she hurriedly took her phone out and called Harvey.


    “What’s up, Nicole?” Harvey was resting when he heard the phone ringing. He picked it up, and when


    he saw that Nicole was the one calling, he quickly answered it.


    “Are the gifts you’ve bought at your ce, right now?” Nicole asked, going straight down to business.


    “I think they are. I’d have forgotten if you didn’t mention it.” Harvey suddenly realized.


    “Is it okay for you if Ie over to pick them up from you now?”


    ‘You don’t have toe over. I will deliver them to you right away,” Harvey said, as catching his rest is


    trivial aspared to getting a chance to see her again.


    ‘That would be much appreciated.” Nicole hung up once she was done speaking, as she did not feel


    the need to be too courteous to Harvey.


    Harvey quickly got dressed. Before heading out, he made a beeline for the mirror to check out his


    outfit, making sure that he was satisfied with it before leaving the house and driving off to Nicole’s


    ce.


    After hanging up, Nicole looked at Mrs. Wace Sr. and Tia. “The gifts will be here in a moment.


    Grandma, how are the vegetables you’ve been growing?’
