Chapter 814 “Jared, I’m going back home.” Nicole called Jared on the phone. “The driver will drop you off, and I will see you at your place at night.” “It’s been a long day for you. Don’t come tonight. I will see you at your company another day.” “Okay, then. Take care and have a good rest. If I find out you don’t rest enough, I will fix you.” Nicole’s heart almost melted at hearing Jared’s last sentence.
“Okay, bye-bye.” Hanging up the phone, Nicole went straight back to her home.
“Good to see you back, Nicole.” Gloria was delighted to see Nicole back; she had not seen Nicole in days.
“Mom, what are you busy with?” “I’m making you some snacks.” “How do you know I’ll be back?” Nicole looked at Gloria in amazement.
“It’s Friday today. I figured you would come back this week, so I thought of preparing things in advance so you would get to eat when you came home.” Gloria wanted to make up as much as possible for some of the love Nicole had missed as a child.
“Thank you, Mom. I feel so blessed having snacks to eat as soon as I’m back.” “Here you go. Move over to the couch.” Gloria handed her a portion of the snack. “Don’t make anymore. This is more than enough. Come over. Let’s have a chat.” Nicole sat Gloria down on the couch.
“Mom, where is Dad? I haven’t seen him since I’m back.” Nicole had been back for a while and still did not see Daniel.
“Upstairs with your eldest brother in the room. They’re working on a project.”
“You’ve been getting better lately, Mom.” “Really? I feel much better since you’re back, almost worry-free. Naturally, I will look much younger.” Gloria seemed relieved. “I’m sorry to make you worry about me.” Nicole looked at Gloria and felt sorry. Had she come back sooner, perhaps her mother would not have missed her so miserably.
