Chapter 1601


    ‘Okay, now she''s being too generous"


    "It''s a deal."


    Jared''s mood improved tremendously.


    The smile at the corner of Nicole''s mouth widened as the two of them continued to sweet talk one


    another throughout the night.


    During the next day itself, Nicole had packed their belongings and moved back to the Riddle residence


    along with Samuel and Spencer, who had done the same.


    When Nicole arrived home, she noticed that Sean had brought Mrs.Wace Sr.to the Riddle residence.


    There, she saw that her parents were chatting with Mrs.Wace Sr.


    "Nicole, your brother suddenly came to my ce and brought me over here asking me to live here.Is


    everything alright with you?" Mrs.Wace Sr.asked.


    She had been living with Tia at the Sea View Vi, and though she felt lonely, she had already gotten


    used to the peace and tranquility.


    Thus, she knew something was up when Nicole suggested that she moved in with them.


    Nicole looked at Mrs.Wace Sr.and couldn''t help but smile.


    "I''m fine, Grandma.It''s my parents who wanted me to move back here.They''re not allowing me to live


    alone anymore, which is why I have to bring you here for a while."


    "Oh..."'' Mrs.Wace Sr. sighed in relief.She truly missed her granddaughter, and now that Nicole had


    found her family, she was more than grateful that Nicole was willing to stay over at her ce for a few


    days a month.


    It went without mentioning that it was Nicole who had bought her the mansion by the sea.


    ‘I never would''ve dreamt of having to live with Nicole and her family.."Mrs.Wace Sr.thought.


    "Won''t it be a hassle to have me here..." she asked.


    "Nonsense," Gloria said with a smile on her face.


    "You''ve raised Nicole for so many years now.You''re her grandma, and you''re considered an elder.You


    living here would be of no problem at all.Please don''t feel that you''ll be a burden to us."


    The moment Mrs.Wace Sr.noticed the sincerity on Gloria''s face, her heart began to surge with


    warmth.


    She turned to look at Nicole and said, "You''re just like your mother, both kind-hearted and


    understanding.The both of you share such wonderful traits."


    Gloria''s face flushed red the second she heard the praise from Mrs.Wace Sr.


    "You''re ttering me.I have arranged a room for you on the first floor so that it''ll be convenient for you


    to move around.If there''s anything else that you need, please feel free to tell me."


    "No, no, everything''s fine.The Riddle family is very lively.Aspared to before, I lived alone, and


    everything just felt deserted, " the old woman said.


    "True, arge family like this will surely be lively in the future." Gloria smiled.


    Seeing that Mrs.Wace Sr.and Gloria had gotten along very well, Nicole then nced at Tia, who was


    beside her.


    "I apologize for all the trouble, but you would have toe here to take care of her from now onwards."


    Though Tia would be staying at the Riddle residence, taking care of Mrs.Wace Sr.would here would


    pose a challenge for her.


    "Don''t worry, Nicole.I will do my utmost best to take care of Mrs.Wace Sr."


    Tia promised with a solemn look on her face, to which Nicole nodded in satisfaction.


    ‘The entire family is now here"


    Nicole breathed a sigh of relief deep within.


    ''Now that they are all here, it''ll easier to protect them, and it''s also much more convenient for the


    people that Jared had hired to protect them"


    It was like killing two birds with a stone.


    Otherwise she would not have agreed to have Mrs.Wace Sr.moving in with them.


    Sean walked over to Nicole from the side and said, "Dad''s asking us to go to his study."


    "Oh."


    Nicole nodded her head, whereupon she followed her brother to the study.


    As the two of them entered, Nicole noticed that Steve was also in the study.


    "Nicole is here."


    Nicole noticed the expression on both Daniel and Steve''s faces, prompting her to ask, "What


    happened?"

    Daniel remained silent, and instead, Steve got up and said, "It''s Norah...she attempted suicide at the


    detention centerst night."


    Nicole narrowed her eyes.


    ''Norah, suicide? How could someone like hermit suicide?"


    "Perhaps it was because she was given a life sentence yesterday, and she couldn''t bear the


    consequences and so, she attempted suicide.It was fortunate that she was discovered just in time, but


    her injuries were quite serious.Her trachea was cut, and now, she can''t breathe on her own.She''s in the


    Critical Care Unit as of now."
