Chapter 1509 As Beautiful As An Angel
‘‘Ms. Nico, Dr. Moore is here. Mrs. Nighy’s greeting her at the door as we speak.’‘
The second Nico heard the housekeeper, she hurried out of her room. However, halfway down the
stairs, Nico turned back to look at the servant. ‘‘Do I look good?’‘
‘‘You look beautiful!’‘
‘‘As beautiful as an angel?’‘ continued Nico.
‘‘Of course, Ms. Nico. I doubt anyone will look more stunning than you do.’‘
Nico was all smiles after listening to the housekeeper.
As the woman continued to hurry downstairs, the housekeeper raised an eyebrow curiously and
wondered what that was about. Isn’t our guest a woman? So why does Ms. Nico act like she’s going to
meet her crush? Maybe she prefers women over men.
With that thought in mind, the housekeeper widened her eyes in shock.
Still, Nico was in such a good mood that it did not matter what others thought of her.
As soon as she reached the end of the stairs, Nico noticed her mother and Arielle walking toward her,
and following closely behind them was the supposed bodyguard she had missed dearly.
Nico could feel her cheeks burning when she saw the man once again, and the confident woman
immediately became shy.
‘‘What are you doing standing there like a statue, Nico? Can’t you see that our guests have arrived?
Come say hello,’‘ instructed Melissa when she noticed the distracted Nico.
‘‘I’m so glad to see you again,’‘ Nico quickly greeted Arielle after returning to her senses.
‘‘Me too,’‘ responded Arielle courteously with a half-smile, even though she did not mean what she
said.
Since she was well aware of how Nico felt about her man, she would rather not see the woman again if
possible. I wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for her father.
‘‘This is my daughter, Nico. I regrettably admit that her father and I have spoiled her,’‘ uttered Melissa
half-jokingly.
Despite what she said, Melissa was actually proud of her daughter, and Arielle could tell from the way
she talked.
‘‘I’m sure you have every reason to do so.’‘ Having seen brats much worse than Nico, Arielle was sure
that the woman was doing just fine.
‘‘Mother, you know Ms. Moore and I are of similar age, right? You’re making me look like a child in front
of our guests,’‘ complained Nico somewhat embarrassedly while holding Melissa’s arm after secretly
glancing at Vinson.
To that, Melissa simply responded with a chuckle.
The woman was used to talking about Nico like that to others, but she had forgotten the fact that her
guest that evening was only as old as her daughter.
‘‘I promise I’ll stop doing that. Now, make sure our guests feel at home while I go get your
grandmother,’‘ Melissa instructed Nico.
Even though Lisa had mostly recovered, Matthew still insisted that she stay in a wheelchair a while
longer. After all, a woman her age would suffer dire consequences if she were to fall.
Lisa never thought that someone as tough as her would end up in a wheelchair, so she was reluctant at
first. However, after much persuasion, she eventually agreed to it on the condition that she would only
use the wheelchair until she was strong enough to walk on her own again.
Her family was well aware of the kind of person she was and thought that was a reasonable
compromise.
