Nicole went in through the door with a laid-back attitude. She noticed there was an extra pair of shoes at
the door.
She heard a gentle voice before she reached the living room.
“Mr. and Mrs. Riddle, I’ll show myself out.”
“Don’t leave now. Stay for dinner.” Nicole was at the door just after Gloria said that.
Nicole froze for a moment when she saw the guest.
‘I think I’ve seen him in the photo from Mr. Wyance’s office…’
Martin froze for a moment when he saw Nicole. He came here on behalf of his father to inform Gloria and
Daniel that they would deal with the school’s rumor. But he hoped he would be lucky enough to see
Nicole in person. ‘I can’t believe I got to meet her in person.’
‘She was bright and brave,’ Martin thought about the racing video.
He was love-struck when he saw how gentle and beautiful Nicole was as she walked in. Nicole spoke
first, “You… You’re Mr. Wyance’s son, right?” Martin shook off his fascination. “Yes. D-Do you know me?”
Nicole nodded her head. “Sort of. I’ve seen your photo in Mr. Wyance’s office.” Martin was surprised. ‘I
can’t believe Nicole knew about me!’
This made him feel unaccountably happy. “I’ve heard about you too. This is my first time seeing you in
person. I just can’t believe how gorgeous you’re,” Martin said shyly.
Gloria could not help but glance at Daniel. She looked ambivalent.
Daniel was calmed. ‘Although Mr. Wyance’s going to become the governor soon, Martin still can’t rival
Jared.’ He stood by Jared. “You’re being overly gracious. Why did you come here?” Nicole asked politely.
Martin shook his head shyly. “My father wanted me to come and apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Riddle and to
inform them we will handle the school’s rumor properly.”
Nicole thought for a second. She quickly realized what rumor Sebastian Wyance was talking about was.
‘Mr. Wyance doesn’t allow this kind of thing to happen. Especially when he’s about to be appointed as
the governor. He would certainly send someone to deal with the issue properly.
“That’s great.” Nicole was at ease. This is better. I have less to worry about.’
Martin nodded his head as he said, “I should go.”
“Okay.” Nicole did not make him stay.
Martin was a little disappointed as he looked at her. ‘Well, this is my first time coming here. I shouldn’t
bother them too much. I should leave now.’
Gloria looked at Nicole after she walked Martin to the door. “I heard Martin’s established competence
medically. Nicole, you have some medical knowledge too, right?”
Nicole glanced at Gloria as she asked, “Did you visit grandfather with dad today?”
Mr. Riddle Sr. was the only person who knew something about her background.
Gloria nodded her head calmly. “Yes. We wanted to know more about you. But your grandfather didn’t
tell us much. He only told us about your hobbies.’
Nicole was relieved. She did not want her parents to know much about her true identity. She was afraid
that they would be dragged into trouble. “Alright. Father and mother, I’m hungry. I want to eat.,” she said
in a baby voice, intentionally to change the subject. “Alright! Dinner is ready. We’ll eat right away!” Gloria
went to prepare the food happily. Daniel walked toward Nicole as Gloria left. “You must be careful with
Martin. Don’t give him a chance.”
Nicole raised her head suspiciously. She did not understand what Daniel meant.
Daniel then coughed strangely as he left awkwardly. Nicole had a puzzled look on her face. ‘What’s
wrong with dad and mom?’
Nicole went back to her room after dinner. She turned on her computer to see what had happened while
she was gone.
