Chapter 2569
Jared gently placed his hand on Nicole's shoulder before he drew her in for a light embrace. "The butler will keep an
eye on them."
Although Mr. Riddle Sr. had taken them in and Nicole had warned them, an observation period was still necessary.
Nicole then looked up at Jared and nodded with a slight smile. "Yeah."
She was not overly concerned, as she believed her grandfather would not throw his rationality to the wind over this
matter. She would also keep an eye on them to see if they were truly trustworthy or not.
After a while, the two returned to the Riddle residence, where the family had just eaten their dinner.
Surprised to see them back so soon, they asked, "Weren't you at the family manor?"
'Why are they back at this hour? Did they not have dinner there?'
"We stayed for a while and then came back," Nicole replied, noticing that the housekeepers were already clearing
the table. "Please prepare dinner for both of us."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Please wait a moment, Miss," the housekeeper replied and hurried off to prepare dinner for Nicole and Jared.
Curious, Daniel asked, "Why did you come back from your grandfather's place without having dinner?"
Nicole then went on to explain the circumstances revolving around Dillion and Karen. Before long, dinner arrived,
and Nicole and Jared began eating.
Daniel and Gloria sat on the living room sofa, looking somewhat sorrowful. ”1 can't believe Dillion and Karen turned
out this way."
"They've been leading a carefree life, and the fact that they've held out until now is quite surprising," Gloria said,
shaking her head.
Knowing them, they should have given up a long time ago.
"It's probably because the truth about Dad's medicine has come to light," Daniel guessed.
After all, even if they had returned earlier, nobody would have paid any attention to them. Now that it had been
confirmed that they were not responsible for the incident, they could safely seek refuge with their father.
"Let's hope they've learned their lesson this time," Gloria sighed.
"I hope so too," Daniel said with a heavy heart, unsure of how long they could hold on.
"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?" Samuel asked, entering the room just to notice Daniel and Gloria looking
somewhat crestfallen. Did something happen?'
"It's nothing serious. It's just that your Uncle Dillon and Aunt Karen are in a difficult situation now and have returned
to
the family manor," Daniel briefly explained.
After mentioning it, he swiftly changed the subject. "You're back late. Where's Spencer?"
"I don't know. I think he's staying at Lulu Barrera's place and not coming back," Samuel replied, hazarding a guess.
Frowning at the remark she had received, Gloria scolded," Call her your sis-in-law!"
'How could he still call her by her full name?' she thought.
"Hey, Spencer is only two or three minutes older than me, and we've been hanging out with each other very often
for the past few years. We're used to it. Calling her 'sis-in-law' feels really awkward." Samuel shrugged, defending
his stance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn response, Gloria rolled her eyes at Samuel. "Well, Spencer is still your older brother, and you're still the younger
one."
"Mom, we're twins. There's no need to be so particular about it." Samuel scratched his head.
After all, they were going to be one big family, and there was really no need to adopt such formalities with one
another.
After shaking her head, Gloria shifted the conversation." Your wedding is coming up. For the next few days, I'd like
you to take June and Lulu to review all the arrangements. Well have guests from all over San Joto, including friends,
business associates, and dignitaries. We can't afford any mistakes."
"Got it, Mom. I'll bring them along," Samuel replied.
After the bunch had discussed the minutes of the wedding, Nicole and Jared emptied their plates and joined them in
the living room.
"Is Uncle Dillion planning something?" Samuel asked Nicole.
"If you saw how miserable they looked, you wouldn't suspect anything." Nicole shrugged.
She believed that the level of misery they had displayed was not something they could easily fake.
