Chapter 790
Daniel said aptly, "Despite our relationship with the Johnston family, we still have to do things on our own merits.We must never put Nicole on the spot and make outsiders think we are only successful because of the marriage between Nicole and Jared."
"Your dad is right.You all have to keep that in mind.I'm afraid that more people will scrutinize us from now on.You all should be more careful with your conduct outside," Gloria said with concern.
"We will, and we will never cause Nicole difficulty."
Sean looked at his parents, then at Nicole.
Something came to mind and Stanley asked, "Mom, Dad, since Nicole is getting engaged, don't we need to make preparations?"
"Right, right.I was too happy and forgot such an important thing."
Gloria laughed and ridiculed herself.
"What do you like, Nicole? I will prepare it for you."
Gloria looked at Nicole with a smile.
"Yeah, whatever you like, just say it."
Daniel chimed in.
"It's alright, Dad, Mom.Jared had got it all sorted out."
Nicole smiled.
Daniel nodded.
"Jared is a promising young man and has gotten everyone prepared, but we in the Riddle family still need to do something.We can't let others look down upon us."
"Since it's your day off, why don't you follow your mom to go shopping?"
Daniel spoke gently, with a hint of unquestionable authority.
"Okay, then."
Nicole could only agree to make her parents feel better when she saw their eagerness of wanting to do something for her.
Samuel interjected.
"Mom, I would like to buy a gift for Nicole, too.Can I tag along?" Gloria glanced at him.
"Okay."
"Me too,"
Spencer said when he saw Samuel had succeeded.
Gloria was puzzled when Spencer also wanted to follow.
"I thought you hate shopping? What makes you so different today?"
