"I wanted to take good care of my grandmother before this.I did not want to disturb your life too."
‘The Riddle family already had a daughter.They were a happy family.And I want to take good care of
my grandmother.That was why I didn’t want to come back to the Riddle family.That was until my
grandmother found out about it.I didn’t want her to feel guilty.I didn’t want my parents from the Riddle
family to be sad as well.That was why I came back" Nicole thought.
Mr.Riddle Sr.had an unspeakable feeling as he looked at Nicole.
"She knew everything.She had to bear all the problems alone all this while"
‘We adopted a daughter.And we found Nicole after so long.But after she came back, we made so many
demands on her.We were afraid that she would embarrass us"
For the first time in his life, Mr.Riddle Sr.felt a strong feeling of embarrassment.He stared at Nicole as
he sighed, "You don’t need to do anything else.You just came back.Go and take a rest."
"Alright."' Nicole knew Mr.Riddle Sr.felt terrible.She tucked him in without saying anything further.She
then turned around and left the room.
Just when she reached downstairs, she could hear Samuel's voice.
"sister! You came back!"
Before Nicole could react, Samuel rushed to her and hugged her.
Nicole was disoriented by Samuel’s enthusiasm.Her awkward body was a little stiff.
Spencer had to step forward and pulled Samuel away from Nicole.
"Alright, you’re so sweaty.Don’t stay near Nicole."
Samuel looked embarrassed as he stepped back.
"I’m sorry.My basketball competition just ended.I didn’t have the time to change before I came back
home."
Nicole was flattered when she noticed not only Spencer and Samuel came back, but Stanley and Steve
came back as well.
"I went abroad for only a few days..."
"They made it look like I left home for a long time"
Stanley stepped forward as he said, "You won first place in this month’s exam and the Mathematical
Olympiad competition.But you did not go to school for the past few days.The school was blowing up."
‘Nicole rose to become the genius of the school.The student union and clubs were waiting for her to
come back to join them.The press from the school was waiting to interview her too.But she went
overseas suddenly.Because of this, many people came after us, the brothers, to ask about her
whereabouts"
"Oh."
Nicole heard what Stanley said.But she did not show any expression.
The brothers could not help but be impressed by Nicole.
'Nicole’s so young.But when she’s calm, none of us can match her" they thought.
Damien saw Daniel’s family members were all there.
'"Dad’s much better now.You all don’t need to come back here so often.Brother, you too.You should go
home and rest for a couple of days," Damien said with a slight cough.
‘Daniel and his family stole the limelight recently.I was the only one keeping dad company before
that.Now that dad values Daniel and his family so much, I might have to leave this manor soon if I
continue to allow Daniel to keep dad company"
Daniel did not realize the intention of Damien saying that.
He nodded his head as he said, "Okay, brother."
Daniel had no intention to steal credits.
'Now that dad’s fine, I should bring my family back home"
Just before Daniel and his family left, Damien looked at Nicole.
He could not resist but to ask her the question he had been wanting to ask, "Nicole, who are you
exactly?"
Nicole glanced at Damien.
‘Although I told granddad, I’m not obliged to tell anyone else"
Her eyes were cold as she glanced at Damien.
"Uncle, if you want to know, you can ask granddad," she said calmly.
‘For sure, granddad wouldn’t tell him"
‘Because he doesn’t deserve to know"
Damien felt Nicole’s cold eyes.He could not help but clench his teeth.But he knew he could not offend
Nicole at the moment.He could only say, "Alright, go ahead and take care."
