Chapter 1366 Getting Ready
âI might need to go back to the office tomorrow for a short while. What time will you be bringing her over, Juan? Iâll definitely rush back home as soon as I can,â Nina asked.
After thinking for a while, Juan answered, âItâs okay if thereâs only Mommy and Maya around. All of you can focus on your work. She wonât be staying that long since sheâs only coming for a quick visit.â
âWhy 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,â 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? Thereâs no telling what will happen if she stays for too long.
Juan had absolutely no way of controlling Sallyâs actions.
âIt will be improper for us not to invite her for a meal. Itâs okay, Juan. Mommy will take care of this and let you leave a good impression on her tomorrow,â Nicole insisted.
Juan shrugged it off. âYou donât have to, Mommy. Really.â
âJust do as your mother says, Juan. Iâll also reschedule the appointment with my client tomorrow. We will all stay over for lunch when you bring your girlfriend back home tomorrow,â Evan ordered.
âYes, Daddy,â everyone else answered.
Nina and Maya had no objections to their parentâs 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, Iâm 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 Juanâs girlfriend around noon, and around evening, Iâll 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 childrenâs 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. âShould we prepare something for tomorrow? Itâs not nice if we donât give her a present when meeting for the first time, right? What do you think we should get her?â
âWhat do you think?â
Suddenly, Nicole smiled. âI think some jewelry would be nice. How about we give her one set of jewelry? It doesnât have to be something highly expensive since they had only been in a relationship for a short time.â
âYouâre right. When they finally get engaged, we can give them better presents by then.â Evan nodded.
âThat settles it, then.â
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 Juanâs 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 didnât 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 didnât want to give out any of the presents she received.
After choosing for a long time, she still couldnât decide on what to give as a present to Juanâs girlfriend.
Looking at Nicole, who was clearly underwhelmed, Evan finally walked up to her. âWhy donât you put all the things back? None of these are actually suitable for her.â
âI think so too. The things that I used to put on when I was young could already be out of date, and I donât have the heart to give out the presents people gave me. Should we just get one straight from the store?â
Evan nodded. âI have already called and told them to send one next morning.â
âYou sure are fast. I should be the one in charge of this, but youâve beat me right to it. I feel kind of useless.â Nicole pouted.
âYouâre not useless,â Evan protested.
