Chapter 1823
Nicole could not help being shy, "My brothers had brought back their female friends over to express their thanks
and to let our mother do some matchmaking. Why are you here?"
Both Nicole and Jared are eventually becoming husband and wife, so there was no need for them to meet up for
this occasion.
"Oh, so you are aware that you're going to be wed soon...," said Jared before he walked toward Gloria and Daniel.
"Hi, Mr. & Mrs. Riddle.’
Gloria was happily chatting with Sally before she turned around to see Jared. Gloria beamed with joy, "Oh my, Jared
is here! Come and have a seat.’

mother.
This was the very first time Sally had seen Jared, she was a little taken aback, "This is..."
Gloria immediately introduced, "This is Nicole's fiance, Jared.’
Sally was taken aback, and recalled, "I think I've heard this name before, the president of the Johnston Group,
right?" Steve, noticing Sally's eyes lit up when she saw Jared, was engulfed in sadness and silently sat closer to her.
Sally, sensing Steve sitting closer next to her, lowered her head to hide her blushing face.
Nicole could tell that Steve was jealous. She smiled, curled her lips, pretended to be nonchalant, and said to Jared,
“This is Steve's girlfriend, Sally Kane."
"Oh," Jared nodded his head lightly.
Steve nearly had a heart attack when he heard Nicole's words. Steve was flustered yet felt mentally relieved. Sally,
who was sitting beside him, was a little awkward, "That...l’m...not..."
Steve cut her off, "Let me grandly reintroduce my sister and my future brother-in-law.' His intimate attitude and
eyes instantly made Sally's heart flutter. Sally, finding herself speechless, could only stiffly nod, ’Oh...’
Nicole was satisfied when she saw Steve and Sally interact with one another, 'It seems to me that Sally doesn't have
a boyfriend. Otherwise, she would hurriedly try to clear things up.'
Gloria who had also noticed the interaction between the two of them, dotingly grinned, "Oh dear, what are you
youngsters still accompanying us for? Go and have some barbecue, have fun, and get to know each other more."
Steve understood what Gloria meant, nodded, got up, and stretched his hand out to Sally, "Let's go."
Sally looked at the outstretched hand, surprised at the sudden invitation, but with Nicole, Jared, and Gloria looking
at her, she could only endure the embarrassment and place her hand in Steve's.

He grabbed it instantly and pulled Sally up. She could not help herself from having her face flushed bright red. As
she held his hand, she recalled her time with Steve three years ago.
'After all these years without contact, I thought everything would have changed, yet it seems that nothing has
changed.'
Gloria's grin grew wider when she watched Steve and Sally walk away while holding each other's hands.
"You see that? My idea was brilliant after all. If your brother was not forced to do it, he won't even know how to
invite someone home.’
Nicole raised her eyebrows subconsciously, "Mother, you organized this whole thing mainly to reunite Steve and
Sally?"
It was only a few days after Sally had returned to San Joto when Gloria asked everyone to invite their female
companions. Nicole could not help but ponder, 'This must have been organized deliberately. Otherwise, how would
things be so coincidental?'
