Maya was upset and gave Nina the side-eye. She knew that Nina would jump at any opportunity to tease her. Hence, she had to lose weight as she didn’t want to be as fat as a ball. She intended for Nina to see how she could be as thin as a stick instead.
When Nicole saw how happy Russell was bantering with the children, she walked to his side and greeted softly, “Grandpa, how are you feeling?”
Russell sighed. “Age is catching up, and it’s natural to have aches and pains here and there. However, those are trivial issues and not a problem at all.”
“Grandpa, I’ll treat you with acupuncture in a while, it will ease your discomfort.”
Looking at her, Russell’s expression darkened. “If you really want to be filial, you should marry Evan as soon as possible. I don’t want to bring up what happened in the past. I’m sure that your deceased Grandma won’t blame you for it.”
When Russell first found out that it was Nicole’s father, Zane, who killed Evan’s Grandma in an accident, he vehemently objected to their relationship.
But now, Nicole felt her heart warm when she heard him say something like that. “Grandpa, thank you.”
“Don’t thank me. I already know everything. You’re not Zane’s daughter. Instead, you’re Sir Musgrave’s own flesh and blood.” Just as she spoke, Russell let out a depressing sigh. “I know you had it tough early in your life. You bore four children for the Seet family and raised three of them alone. I deeply appreciate all that you have done. So, quickly pick a date and get yourself married to Evan. I can’t wait to attend your wedding.”
To arrange a wedding with Evan…
But, Levant gave her five days’ time and one day had already gone by. She couldn’t imagine what would happen four days later.
“What’s wrong? Are you not willing to marry Evan?”
“Grandpa, Evan has been occupied by work recently. Also, I am equally busy too. Hence, both of us have decided to postpone the wedding to a later date.”
Russell became upset. “What are you guys so busy for? Is that even an excuse? I’m going to call Evan now. I want to tell him personally that the wedding must be held as soon as possible.”
Russell acted decisively as he whipped out his phone and called Evan on the spot.
“Evan, you should organize your wedding with Nicole as soon as possible. I can’t wait to attend the celebrations.”
At the meantime, Nicole had mixed feelings about it.
If it wasn’t for Levant, Nicole would be delighted to hear Russell pestering Evan to marry her.
But now…
After ending the call, Russell’s face was filled with joy as he looked at Nicole. “Evan has agreed to hold your wedding as soon as possible. When he returns tonight, both of you should discuss it. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Evan agreed?
Nicole was briefly stunned. However, she acknowledged, “I understand, Grandpa.”
Hearing that, Russell’s face became radiant with joy. “Good. This is a grand occasion for the Seet family; hence, we must definitely have a big celebration. Don’t worry. I fully support both of you.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
Grand occasion?
Susan, who heard the conversation, clenched her fist discreetly while maintaining a smile on her face. However, her eyes that were glaring at Russell flashed with devious schemes.
When the children heard that Daddy and Mommy were going to have a wedding, they cried out in joy and started planning for it together.
Everyone in the Seet family was delighted as Sophia held Nicole’s hand to reassure her.
“Nicole, if you need anything, do let us know, and don’t be shy. You’re already family.”
“Alright, thank you Mrs. Seet.”
“Why are you still addressing me as Mrs. Seet when you’re about to get married?”
“Um… Thank you, Mom.”
“Wonderful! Wonderful indeed! Once you marry Evan, you should strive to have a few more children. There’s no point in placing our hope in Davin anymore, as we haven’t even heard from him the last few days. The legacy of the Seet family is now in both you and Evan’s hands.”
Nicole smiled faintly despite the turmoil in her heart. They place their hopes in me and Evan, but do we even have a future together?
Nightfall, after being coaxed by Sophia, the children agreed to spend the night at Imperial Garden.
Nicole was about to pick them up from Imperial garden when she heard their decision, so she no longer needed to do so.
