Even Snow and Raine were surprised. They thought Preston had gone too far, ignoring his mother’s
threats and getting so close to Nicole.
They saw Nicole as a shameless hussy who seduced their brothers.
“Cut it out, can’t you all? Let’s have your meal.” Mr. Riddle Sr. interrupted at once, knowing that Karen
was going to chasten Preston.
Everyone bowed their heads and ate, and it was all quiet.
During the meal, Mr. Riddle Sr. glanced at Nicole once. “Nicole, since you and Jared are in love, it’s
time for marriage.”
The Johnston family took such good care of their family, so he thought of having them get married.
“Huh?” Nicole did not expect Mr. Riddle Sr. to mention this. She was flustered, not knowing how to
answer
Daniel saw his daughter’s embarrassment and smiled. “Dad, why don’t we let Nicole think about it?
After all, this is not just about her, and she should at least discuss it with Jared.” Everyone was envious
of Nicole upon hearing that.
Chloe’s eyes were full of jealousy, and she could not help but say, “Grandpa, Nicole is just a student in
the eleventh grade. It doesn’t sound right for her to get engaged at such a young age, and it will affect
her studies.”
She would not let Nicole and Jared get engaged so early, she would not have a chance if they did.
“You have a point.” Only did Mr. Riddle Sr. realize his suggestion was not well thought out.
Nicole glanced at Chloe and thought for a moment. “Grandpa, I’ll discuss this with him.” It appeared
that it was just another thing to her as if her relationship with Jared was close enough to discuss
anything.
“Okay, you’d better hurry. The Johnstons are a prominent family. I wouldn’t need to worry about you if
you can get married early.” Mr. Riddle Sr. smiled, sincerely hoping Nicole would get engaged as soon
as possible.
Chloe’s face darkened, and she felt that Mr. Riddle Sr. was biased.
Raine and Snow were extremely jealous. ‘Why are we all dumped while Nicole is going to marry a man
as outstanding as Jared?’
Snow tried hard to suppress her emotion, but Raine was completely out of control. She stood up
abruptly and said, “Grandpa, you are too biased. How long have Nicole and Jared been dating that you
can’t wait for them to get married? What about me?”
Karen did not expect her daughter to talk like this and quickly pulled her aside. “Raine, what are you
talking about? Do you have a boyfriend?”
Raine was a little depressed. Everyone in the family knew that her sister and Harvey were dating, and
no one cared about her and Gary’s progress.
Gritting her teeth, Raine said, “Yes! I’ve liked Gary for a long time, and I want to marry Gary, too.”
“Ridiculous!” Mr. Riddle Sr’s face changed. “Why didn’t I know about this? Does Gary like you?”
Raine’s face sank upon hearing the question. She did not know how to tell them that Gary had
completely distanced himself from her for the past few days. Mr. Riddle Sr. and everyone else
understood what her silence meant
“Nicole and Jared are in love. You have to first figure out your position in Gary’s heart before telling me
about this,” Mr. Riddle Sr. hissed and ordered everyone to continue the meal.
Raine shot a glare at Nicole with hatred.
She always believed that if it were not for Nicole and Gary playing the male and female protagonists
together, Gary would not have dumped her. She thought it was because of Nicole that everything
changed.
‘I will not let Nicole have everything she wants.’
