Chapter 7 You’re Going to Marry Joseph’s Father!
The weather was cool in mid-January, with the rain drizzling endlessly outside.
Nicole’s eyes dimmed a little when they darted upon the date. Today was January 18—her mother’s death anniversary.
Nicole had wanted to take Hayden to visit her mother today, but the weather was really bad, so she decided to only do so after the weather had gotten better.
The graveyard was desolate with few people. Holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a black umbrella in the other, Nicole slowly walked up to her mother’s grave. To her surprise, there was already a man and a woman standing before the grave. The woman was Queenie, whereas the man was William Anderson—her so-called father.
William’s wrinkled face had a touch of emotion to it. “It’s been a while since we last saw each other, Nicole. I heard from Queenie that you’re back, so I came here to wait for you, thinking that you’d be coming here.” When he heard from Queenie that Nicole had come back, he had been somewhat skeptical. After some mental calculations, he realized that Nicole’s mother’s death anniversary was around the corner. Since Nicole was very attached to her mother, she would definitely come here to visit her mother’s grave. Therefore, he came here early in the morning to wait for Nicole, and here she was, coming just as expected.
William was ashamed of what had happened five years ago. However, it was all thanks to it that Queenie managed to attach herself to the Gardner Family, which resulted in a turnaround for the then-declining Anderson Family. He would never allow anyone—including his biological daughter right before him—to destroy the Andersons’ peace!
Nicole coldly walked past the hypocritical man before her. “Go away! Don’t disturb my mom’s peace.”
“Let bygones be bygones, Nicole. Let’s have a heart-to-heart talk. Nicole…”
Regardless of what William said, Nicole placed flowers on her mother’s grave and paid her respects. After that, she turned around and left without even taking a glance at the two people behind her.
Queenie’s exquisitely made-up face contorted at once when she saw how Nicole looked down her nose at them. Just what entitles this b*tch to assume such a haughty air?!
Just as Nicole was walking past Queenie, the latter seized her wrist with so much strength, as though her fingernails were going to dig into the former’s flesh. “Nicole, don’t you want your mother’s stuff anymore?”

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
