One More Night

She reached out her left hand and put it in front of him. Kevin raised his hand and directly put the ring on her ring finger. “Well, you really bought it at a high price. It’s really pleasing.”

This feeling was really… illusory and very unreal. She was like stepping on a cotton floor, very soft and light. She was a little worried, but most of all she was happy.

It turned out that someone would spoil her. However, this man was her husband.

If the beginning of the combination was an accident, a marriage scene that was strongly dominated by him, then at this moment, the strong heartbeat in Nicole’s chest told her that she began to play a role.

Yes, she was holding Kevin’s hand and her heart was trembling. She looked at him with a kind of fanatical and emotional look, which was a sign that she was tempted.

Such a young, golden, and handsome man was willing to hold her in his palm. Nicole’s heart, which was considered to be strong and invincible, couldn’t help falling in love with him.

Out of the jewelry store, Kevin’s car was parked on the side of the road. They got into the car and Kevin drove it.

Nicole turned her head and looked at the man next to her. “Will it be too late if we go back now?”

Kevin frowned, “What are you doing back there?”

“I quit. It’s so expensive. I don’t want to buy it.” Said Nicole.

“I want to buy it.” Kevin said while looking straight down the road.

Nicole widened her eyes and asked, “Do you wear it?”

Kevin gave her a very indifferent look, and immediately whispered, “Well, I buy it for you. You have to wear it. I don’t care about the price, and so don’t mind it too, okay?”

Nicole nodded and leaned at seat, “Okay then.”

In fact, every woman didn’t like jewelry. Those who said they didn’t care about it, didn’t care at all. In the final analysis, it was not because they had no money.

In recent days, Nicole really felt like a nouveau riche. However, this stone could not be eaten. It was better to give it to her and take it as her little vault. However, she only dared to think about it and did not dare to say it out loud.

Unexpectedly, Kevin said, “It will be used soon.”

The voice was not loud, so that Nicole, who had been immersed in her own thoughts, did not hear it clearly. She asked, “What?”

However, her phone rang.

The phone call from her family always made her hesitate.

But it was not the right way to keep ringing, and it was Ben who called. In the end, she still picked it up. “Hello, grandpa.”

“Nicole, go home for dinner tonight.” The old man did not talk nonsense and said directly, “You haven’t come back for a long time. Come back for dinner.”

“But I…” Nicole hated and feared the thing that happened last time. She didn’t want to go back at all.

Then she heard Ben say, “In fact, today is your grandmother’s death anniversary. Come back for dinner together.” The old man’s voice was full of huskyness and vicissitudes of life.

Nicole was at a loss for words. That was the only person who really loved her in the family. Unfortunately, the old lady went early and the memory of Nicole faded because of the growth of the year. Today was my grandmother’s death anniversary. She forgot it. It was really unfilial.

Then she said to the old man, “Okay, I will go back.”

“Ah…” The old man wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. It seemed that he had something to say, but she didn’t know where to start. She knew that they had been eyeing Kevin, but she would never allow this kind of thing to happen.

So she said straightforwardly, “I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else. I’ll talk about it when I get back.”

After the call, she put away her phone and sat there quietly. She was a little hesitant for a moment, but she still turned to look at him and said, “Well, I may not cook for you tonight. I have to go back. Today is my grandmother’s death anniversary. She is the only person who treats me well, so I have to go back.” Nicole was afraid that he would disagree, so she quickly added.

Fortunately, Kevin was not so unreasonable. He said yes and then asked, “Then I’ll send you there now.”

Nicole was a little surprised, but when she looked at the time, it was almost time. “Then just keep me away from them. Don’t let them see you, lest they come up and pester you again.”

Hearing this, Kevin slightly twitched the corner of her mouth. If it weren’t for his willingness, no one could make trouble for him, but he still followed her and parked the car a little too far away.

She got out of the car and walked over, but before leaving, she suddenly felt a little reluctant. Seeing the night falling, she was worried and said, “You can go back after eating. I’ll take a taxi back later. I’m leaving.”

She turned around and walked forward. Kevin sat in the car silently and did not leave immediately.

She walked inside to the living room area. Since it was not a big day of death, she would normally pay her respects to them at home.

The atmosphere was not too solemn. Anyway, they had gotten used to it.

Only in such a short time, she had met Doris and Irene. Nicole felt very uncomfortable, but now she didn’t need to be afraid of anything. She walked in calmly.

Doris and Irene were sitting on the sofa. Eva was also there, and some relatives of her family. Nicole knew them, but they were not familiar with each other. So she simply greeted them and went to the kitchen to help.

Irene’s eyes fell on Nicole. Her eyes were full of resentment, but in the end, she remained silent.

A short while later, a simple sacrificial ceremony began.

Everyone went on the stage, except Nicole. When she saw the black and white portrait in the middle of the old lady’s eyes, her eyes were slightly wet.

Finally, the old master solemnly lit incense for his partner for the rest of his life, poured wine, and talked a few words. That was the end of the story.

When they sat down to eat, the dishes were a little cold. The nanny took it in and warmed it up. Everyone began to drink first.

Nicole took the chopsticks without asking for any drinks. She ate the dishes in front of her silently.

She was not very important, so she just needed to take care of her stomach.

But she didn’t know what was going on today. Doris was particularly enthusiastic. It was clear that she had a big problem, but now she was still so careless.

As the saying goes, there must be a hidden motive behind it.

Eva was also there. Although she didn’t say a word to Nicole after entering the door, her eyes kept looking at Nicole, as if she was on guard against something.

Nicole sneered. It turned out that the feeling of holding someone’s handle was so good. At least now Eva didn’t dare to oppose her openly.

After eating a little, she felt that she had no appetite. She put down her chopsticks and said, “I’m full. Grandpa and Dad, take your time. I’ll go back first.”

“Wait, Nicole, don’t worry. Come to the study. I have something to tell you.”

What should come must come. Maybe her grandmother’s death was just an excuse to bring her back. There must be something waiting for her.

Before he could speak, Nicole silently followed Barry into the study. Nicole lowered her head and stood with her eyes down. She looked like an obedient girl standing straight at the back of the door.

Barry cleared his throat and said, “Ahem, Nicole, sit down and don’t stand there.”

This was the first time that Nicole had been sitting in a study room. It was inevitable and made people sigh. Of course, she knew who benefited from it.

However, some of them were willing to stand, so she still sat down and said, “Dad, do you have anything to do with me? Let’s get to the point.”

“Can’t we just talk? You don’t need to feel stressed.”

“Well, I didn’t. It seems that you are under a lot of pressure.”

Nicole’s words made Barry look a little embarrassed. In the past, he would have scolded Nicole for being rude, but today, he suppressed his anger.

Nicole sighed with emotion. It was really different from the past. She could not help but feel that her back was straightened a little bit, but she still waited quietly for Barry to speak.

After being silent for a few seconds, Barry simply said, “Nicole, apart from your Grandfather and I, no one else in the family knows about your marriage with Kevin.”

She nodded and smiled sweetly. “Dad, you’re right. Kevin doesn’t want anyone to know that we got married. Otherwise, he would be angry.”

Barry was embarrassed. This girl was clearly warning him not to tell others about this matter. But Ben had also warned him solemnly, so Barry knew what was going on in his mind.

He simply skipped the topic and said, “Girl, since you call me Dad, then let’s not beat around the bush.”

Nicole sat upright, indicating that she was ready to listen.

Barry sighed, “Doris and Auntie Lyn have treated you badly before. We know that. But now you have married Kevin, which is a great achievement. Now your cousin Irene just came back and wants to go to work with your husband’s company. Can you go back and tell Kevin about it…”

Nicole almost fell down from the chair. She also knew that every member of George’s consortium was an elite general.

If Irene wanted to get in, she would have to rely on her own talent and solid materials. Nicole shook her head and said, “Dad, it’s really difficult for you to deal with this matter. How can I have the ability to affect their company’s decision? Besides, Irene is a high-caliber student who graduated from abroad. Her ability must be first-class. She can definitely get in if she goes to invest in the resume.”

Barry looked embarrassed. How could he tell Nicole that Irene was beaten back?
