Chapter 1963
"Alright, I'll get ready then. I'll be heading there tonight." Nicole agreed.
"It’s settled, then. Jared, please take care of Nicole," Gloria said, leaving it all to Jared, as she was not in the mood to worry about these things.
"Alright, I got it."
After all, it would be great for Nicole to attend family gatherings. Even if it was just a minor gathering, Jared would arrange the outfits for her, as well as a slew of other things to be prepared.
However, Nicole looked doubtful. Tm just going home. What is there to prepare?'
At that moment, Sean said, "It's getting late. Mom and dad? I'll head to the office for work now."
"Alright." Gloria nodded.
Steve and the rest then took turns bidding their goodbyes before leaving for work.
Before he stepped out, Samuel said to Nolan, "Nolan, I am giving you permission to play my computer games when I’m not around. However, you must take good care of your eyes, alright?"
"I got it. Thank you, Uncle Samuel." Nolan nodded and smiled.
One could tell that Nolan was extremely fond of Samuel.
Hearing that, Nicole muttered, "You're too young to play games."
In response, Nolan snorted. "Video games are so lame. I prefer hacking..."
A look of bafflement appeared on Nicole's face at once.
Sure enough, she could not speak to her kid the way she could other kids his age. There were times when Nicole would suspect that Nolan was a teenager living in the body of a 5-year-old. His thinking was so much more mature than hers.
Now that Nicole's brothers had all left, Gloria watched as Nicole and Jared sipped on their coffee.
