Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1068

Chapter 1068 Sarcasm

Siobhan paused for a second before saying, "Nicole, what happened in the past is my fault, but you're my daughter and I wish to have more opportunities to spend time with you after this. It's because I missed the chance to do so when you were a child."

Nicole pursed her lips but remained silent. After a while, Rita started to feel anxious as she grabbed her hands and added, "I know that you can't forgive Siobhan because she made some silly mistakes, Nicole, but you're my granddaughter and I would like you to get married gloriously. Return to the Gould Family, okay? I'll personally throw a wedding for you."

Although Siobhan had chosen Evelyn in the past, Rita had always been on her side, and she remembered all the times the woman was kind to her. Now that Nicole was faced with such unabashed concern from the elderly lady, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

When Rita noticed a trace of hesitancy in Nicole, she continued, "I know what you're worried about, Nicole. You're the only granddaughter I acknowledge, so please give me a chance."

Alas, Nicole couldn't say no to Rita when she looked so sincere. Therefore, she gave her a stiff nod in agreement. "Okay…"

A smile instantly appeared on Rita's initially dejected face, and she held Nicole's hand as she said with genuine delight, "I knew that you'll agree, but you don't have to be in a rush to return. Spend some time with Colton for now and move in once you're ready."

Rita was so fond of Nicole because she felt that the Gould Family had mistreated her and was the reason that she suffered all these years. Secondly, she had a marked resemblance to Siobhan, be it her appearance or personality. Finally, it was Siobhan who did Nicole wrong before, and she wanted to make it up to Nicole on her daughter's behalf.

Nicole nodded without another word, and Colton shot Wendy a look when he saw how they were. Wendy quickly understood what he meant and paced to Nicole's side, saying with a smile, "Nicole, we've just arrived and didn't even have a chance to grab a bite yet. I know a new restaurant that has just opened. Let's try it out, shall we? We'll leave these matters to the adults while we go out and enjoy a good meal!"

Nicole agreed to her suggestion and went out with her. When they were out, Wendy grumbled with a pout, "Nicole, just say no if you don't want to return to the Gould Family. I heard about what happened the last time and, honestly, they don't deserve you!"

Nicole broke into a light chuckle. It wasn't her plan to return to the Gould Family, but she could only agree now because she couldn't reject Rita's request. "Don't you worry. It's only a formality, anyway, so it doesn't matter where I go," she said calmly, staring ahead with an expressionless face.

Wendy didn't comment on the matter further. Instead, she drove them to the restaurant she mentioned earlier. Since they slipped away with a random excuse she came up with, she figured that she might as well drag Nicole to a restaurant that was really popular recently. Just as expected, the place was already crowded way before lunchtime. Fortunately, Wendy had booked a special dining room and they didn't have to wait long. Just as they were about to go in, they suddenly caught sight of Evelyn and the ladies from the upper-class socialites around her.

A woman next to Evelyn suddenly piped up sarcastically, "Oh look, Evelyn. Isn't that your long-lost sister?"

Even though the Wrenn Family had acknowledged Nicole, they didn't give any details about how Nicole ended up outside of the family. Thus, everyone assumed that she was also Siobhan's daughter but was kidnapped ever since she was a baby. None of them would ever imagine that she was swapped since birth.

Evelyn instinctively raised her eyes, after which she noticed Nicole and Wendy right next to Nicole.

As the tips of Evelyn's lips curled upward softly, she said in a gentle voice, "Hi, Nicole. What a coincidence to bump into you here."
