Chapter 1366 Getting Ready
“I might need to go back to the office tomorrow for a short while. What time will you be bringing her over, Juan? I’ll definitely rush back home as soon as I can,” Nina asked.
After thinking for a while, Juan answered, “It’s okay if there’s only Mommy and Maya around. All of you can focus on your work. She won’t be staying that long since she’s only coming for a quick visit.”
“Why does she have to be in such a hurry? She at least has to stay and eat with us since it will be the first time she ever visits,” Maya asked.
Juan silently sighed as he wished that she would only stay for a short while. Why would I want her to stay and have a meal with us? There’s no telling what will happen if she stays for too long.
Juan had absolutely no way of controlling Sally’s actions.
“It will be improper for us not to invite her for a meal. It’s okay, Juan. Mommy will take care of this and let you leave a good impression on her tomorrow,” Nicole insisted.
Juan shrugged it off. “You don’t have to, Mommy. Really.”
“Just do as your mother says, Juan. I’ll also reschedule the appointment with my client tomorrow. We will all stay over for lunch when you bring your girlfriend back home tomorrow,” Evan ordered.
“Yes, Daddy,” everyone else answered.
Nina and Maya had no objections to their parent’s request while Kyle, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes. Thinking about Sally gave him an unexplainable feeling in the pit of his stomach, and he did not know why he would feel that way. He just felt that Sally was not a girl like any other.
Oh dear, I’m going to see her again tomorrow.
A faint smile slowly crawled across his attractive face.
Meanwhile, Nicole was silently planning on what she would do tomorrow. I will meet with Juan’s girlfriend around noon, and around evening, I’ll go to the office and see the man who had been so close with Nina. If I remember correctly, I believe his name is Stephen.
Although she agreed not to interfere with her children’s love life, she still had to look out for them.
After dinner, Nina, Maya, Juan, and Kyle left the dining room one by one, so they could go back to doing their own work.
Nicole then started a discussion with Evan. “Should we prepare something for tomorrow? It’s not nice if we don’t give her a present when meeting for the first time, right? What do you think we should get her?”
“What do you think?”
Suddenly, Nicole smiled. “I think some jewelry would be nice. How about we give her one set of jewelry? It doesn’t have to be something highly expensive since they had only been in a relationship for a short time.”
“You’re right. When they finally get engaged, we can give them better presents by then.” Evan nodded.
“That settles it, then.”
After discussing, Nicole went back to her bedroom and searched thoroughly for some jewelry she had.
What should I give her?
She had a necklace that Evan gave her as a birthday present last year, and she absolutely adored it.
Because of this, she could not give this necklace as a gift to Juan’s girlfriend.
There was another set of jewelry that Evan gave her. The piece was made of diamonds, and it looked like stars that glittered in the night sky. It was so eye-catching that she didn’t even dare to wear it out. She was also reluctant to give this out as a present.
Other pieces of jewelry that she had were all gifts from someone else. She didn’t want to give out any of the presents she received.
After choosing for a long time, she still couldn’t decide on what to give as a present to Juan’s girlfriend.
Looking at Nicole, who was clearly underwhelmed, Evan finally walked up to her. “Why don’t you put all the things back? None of these are actually suitable for her.”
“I think so too. The things that I used to put on when I was young could already be out of date, and I don’t have the heart to give out the presents people gave me. Should we just get one straight from the store?”
Evan nodded. “I have already called and told them to send one next morning.”
“You sure are fast. I should be the one in charge of this, but you’ve beat me right to it. I feel kind of useless.” Nicole pouted.
“You’re not useless,” Evan protested.
