Chapter 897
As Siobhan's legs were not healed yet, she could only sit in the chair. After some thought, she said, "After you return
to the Wrenn Family, you can do whatever you want. Whether it's the Gould Family or the Wrenn Family, you can
make your choice."
Nicole froze for a moment, not expecting Siobhan to be so magnanimous. After coming back to her senses, she
refused, "Madam Gould, you don't have to be so polite."
"I'm not being polite. I've seen your capabilities, and I think you're perfect to be a leader," Siobhan explained.
Nicole pursed her lips, not knowing what to say next.
Upon seeing Nicole's hesitation to speak, Siobhan let out a chuckle and said, "All right, take your time to digest all
this information. I'll ask Gabriel to pick you up tomorrow, and we'll resume our chat then."
Nicole hummed in reply.

As if suddenly recalling something, Siobhan suddenly questioned, "By the way, I heard that you're living with that kid
from the Yates Family. Are you two…"
Nicole knew that Siobhan was talking about Zachary, and she shook her head, declining, "No, we're just ordinary
friends."
With a smile in her eyes, Siobhan continued, "You're my daughter, so you're worthy of him."
Nicole was somewhat tongue-tied. It wasn't a question as to whether she was worthy of him or not; Zachary had
feelings for her and didn't need her power, but she felt nothing for him. She knew exactly what kind of feelings she
had toward him, so she didn't dare to agree easily as she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear his love.
"That's not…" Nicole hesitated, unsure of how to explain the relationship between her and Zachary.
Sensing something, Siobhan frowned slightly and asked, "Do you still like Colton?"
Nicole was a little overwhelmed by the question. Surprisingly, she did not decline immediately but pondered
instead. Do I still like Colton?
When the idea emerged in her mind for a moment, she did not reject it at the first second, but thought about it

carefully. Do I still like him? I don't really know either.
When Nicole did not answer, Siobhan did not press her any further. Instead, she waved her hand and said softly,
"It's fine. I have no business interfering in your relationship affairs, anyway. This is between the three of you, so you
should handle it yourselves."
Nicole inwardly let out a sigh of relief, thankful that Siobhan did not attempt to get to the bottom of things.
Subsequently, she stood up. Now that things had been clarified, there was no need for her to stay any longer. With
that, she politely stated, "Madam Gould, I'll be leaving first."
Siobhan looked at her, her lips slightly twitching before she said, "You can call me Mom from now on."
However, Nicole remained silent and did not reply.
Siobhan tittered and didn't persist, shaking her head with a laugh as she said, "I'm just saying. We've only just
reunited, so it's perfectly normal for you not to see me as your mother yet."

It was true that Nicole needed some time to accept things; she couldn't bring herself to call Siobhan her mom
immediately.
"I'll be taking my leave now." Nicole nodded before she turned around and left indifferently.
She pushed the door open and left, leaving only Jackson at the door.
When the two were outside, their gazes met. Nicole's voice died in her throat, but after a moment, she called out to
him a little strangely, "Old Mr. Wrenn."
Jackson did not correct her. He slowly walked over, his gaze falling on her. Though his aged face bore traces of
weathering, it was unusually gentle at the moment.
"Mm-hmm. Aren't you going to chat a little longer?" Jackson asked, looking at Nicole.
She shook her head and replied softly, "No, I should go back and pack up my things. The rest can wait until
tomorrow."
Jackson nodded and agreed, "You're right. We can leave the rest for tomorrow. In that case, I'll head in now."
She turned her body sideways and made way for Jackson, watching him enter the room before she left.
