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 didnât 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, âGrandpa, how are you feeling?â
Russell sighed. âAge is catching up, and itâs natural to have aches and pains here and there. However, those are trivial issues and not a problem at all.â
âGrandpa, Iâll treat you with acupuncture in a while, it will ease your discomfort.â
Looking at her, Russellâs expression darkened. âIf you really want to be filial, you should marry Evan as soon as possible. I donât want to bring up what happened in the past. Iâm sure that your deceased Grandma wonât blame you for it.â
When Russell first found out that it was Nicoleâs father, Zane, who killed Evanâs 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. âGrandpa, thank you.â
âDonât thank me. I already know everything. Youâre not Zaneâs daughter. Instead, youâre Sir Musgraveâs own flesh and blood.â Just as she spoke, Russell let out a depressing sigh. âI 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 canât wait to attend your wedding.â
To arrange a wedding with Evanâ¦
But, Levant gave her five daysâ time and one day had already gone by. She couldnât imagine what would happen four days later.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you not willing to marry Evan?â
âGrandpa, 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.â
Russell became upset. âWhat are you guys so busy for? Is that even an excuse? Iâm going to call Evan now. I want to tell him personally that the wedding must be held as soon as possible.â
Russell acted decisively as he whipped out his phone and called Evan on the spot.
âEvan, you should organize your wedding with Nicole as soon as possible. I canât wait to attend the celebrations.â
At the meantime, Nicole had mixed feelings about it.
If it wasnât for Levant, Nicole would be delighted to hear Russell pestering Evan to marry her.
But nowâ¦
After ending the call, Russellâs face was filled with joy as he looked at Nicole. âEvan 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.â
Evan agreed?
Nicole was briefly stunned. However, she acknowledged, âI understand, Grandpa.â
Hearing that, Russellâs face became radiant with joy. âGood. This is a grand occasion for the Seet family; hence, we must definitely have a big celebration. Donât worry. I fully support both of you.â
âThank you, Grandpa.â
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 Nicoleâs hand to reassure her.
âNicole, if you need anything, do let us know, and donât be shy. Youâre already family.â
âAlright, thank you Mrs. Seet.â
âWhy are you still addressing me as Mrs. Seet when youâre about to get married?â
âUm⦠Thank you, Mom.â
âWonderful! Wonderful indeed! Once you marry Evan, you should strive to have a few more children. Thereâs no point in placing our hope in Davin anymore, as we havenât even heard from him the last few days. The legacy of the Seet family is now in both you and Evanâs hands.â
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.
