"Nope." Jared gently held Nicole's soft hand.
Noticing that Jared seemed a little tired, Nicole tilted her head slightly and asked, "You seem a little exhausted. Is
work piling up?"
"It's manageable."
Jared tightened his grip on her hand, after which he instructed Max, "Let's go."
"Yes, sir."
The engine roared to life, and together, they headed toward the Riddle residence.
Soon, they arrived at the Riddle family estate, where the courtyard was filled with parked cars.
"Looks like everyone's here." Nicole glanced around and commented.
"Yeah, let's go inside." Jared held onto Nicole's hand as they entered the mansion together.

"Mommy!" Nolan and Lana noticed Nicole's return and happily ran toward her.
Nicole stroked their heads and smiled. ’ Did you listen to Aunt Tia today?"
"Yes," Lana responded sweetly as she nodded.
"Mommy, the family banquet today is so lively." Nolan grabbed Nicole's hand and looked around the room.
"Yes, and that's because all of your uncles and aunts have returned. Of course it's lively," Nicole explained with a
smile.
Lana looked up with curiosity in her eyes and asked, "Are Aunt June and Aunt Lulu also our aunts?"
Her voice was neither loud nor soft. Naturally, everyone in the room heard her and that was when the living room
instantly fell into awkward silence.
June and Lulu blushed, feeling embarrassed as the atmosphere had become somewhat tense.
For her kids to ask such a question was something that Nicole did not see coming, so she could only smile and reply,
"Well, you might need to ask your uncles, Aunt June, or Aunt Lulu about that."
There was no way she could answer the question for them, but since they were already attending the family
banquet, it was rather clear.
"Okay." Lana agreed.
Then, she looked at the duo of Lulu and June, and said," Aunt June..."
But before she could finish her sentence, Nolan interrupted," You better not ask. They might still be our aunts now,
but once you ask, they might not be our aunts anymore."
"Eh, why?" Lana was a bit confused. 'Are they or are they not? I
"To put it simply, just don't ask anything regarding our uncles ' personal lives." Nolan lectured Lana with a mature
look on his face.
The innocent conversation between the two children caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the tension in the
atmosphere instantly eased.

"Sure." They all agreed, whereupon the entire family moved to the dining room.
After everyone had taken their seats, the dining room became lively.
"June, Lulu, please don't be strangers. Treat this place as your own home." Gloria said, welcoming June and Lulu
warmly.
"Thank you, Mrs. Riddle," the two of them responded politely.
"There's no need for formalities." Gloria smirked and turned to Spencer and Samuel. "Take good care of them."
In turn, Spencer and Samuel nodded and said, "Got it, Mom."
"Sally and Jane? Eat up too." Gloria looked at her two daughters-in-law.
"Mom, you should go ahead and help yourself. We can take care of ourselves." Jane and Sally responded.
"Sally, Jane, this is the first time I've had a meal together with you since I've returned." Nicole looked at the two of
them with a smile and a nod as a greeting.
"Yes, we ll be coming back more often from now on," Sally said, smiling at Nicole.
She did not say continue the conversation, as Steve had already informed her about Nicole's amnesia.
She figured that there was no need to dwell in the past. For everyone in the Riddle family, Nicole's return was
already more than enough.
