36

In a private luxury villa halfway up the mountain, Drake received a call from his grandmother. Since her beloved grandchildren were coming back, she asked Drake to search for the time to pick him up tomorrow and they would have lunch at the Butler's Residence right after that.




Drake agreed. Later, he asked his assistant to send Nigel’s flight information over and saw that he should pick Nigel up at 10.00AM tomorrow.




That weekend, Nicole accompanied her kid's to have breakfast at a restaurant outside at 8:30AM. After checking the time, she went toward the direction of the airport at her own pace. Then, she decided to look for a cafe to pass the time in the airport.




At 9:30AM, Nicole accompanied her kids to watch the planes take off by the large windows. Finally, at 9:50AM, she led her kids toward the airport’s arrivals section, but it was already crowded with people waiting for their loved ones. Holding her kid’s hand, she waited in the open space next to the arrivals.




The travelers finally emerged one after another. Amidst the crowd was a particularly dazzling figure who soon stepped forward. The man was wearing a blue shirt and casual jeans while a pair of sunglasses was perched on his thick hair. His facial features were handsome and charming, and he was surrounded by a superior aura. In fact, he was more eye-catching than celebrities.




“Mr. Nigel!” the triplets ran over immediately while Nicole also rushed over.




Nigel immediately pushed his trolley aside, then squatted down and hugged the little kid's. “Hello, darlings! Did you miss me?”




“Yes! We I did.” Pete nodded.




“I’ve missed you too.” After speaking, Nigel carried the little kid's to place him on the trolley and steadily pushed the trolley toward Nicole, who also smiled at him as she waited for him to come over.




At this moment, at the entrance of another passage, a handsome and mature figure quickly walked in with his assistant Rey. Drake was late. However, he immediately saw Nigel at first glance and also saw that slender figure as well as the little kid's sitting on the trolley at the same time.

It turned out that Nicole was also here.




Just when Drake decided to head over, he saw Nigel tightly hugging Nicole.




Seeing that, he halted all of a sudden among the crowd 10 meters away. His pupils shrank while he continued looking at the pair who were in a tight embrace. At this time, his mind was filled with extremely complicated thoughts.




"President Butler, do we still go forward?” Rey asked...




Drake looked at the pair still in their embrace indifferently, his handsome face a little ugly..




“It seems that he doesn’t need me to pick him up after all. Let’s go back!” Drake didn’t wait for Rey to react before he turned to leave. The back of his figure seemed to emanate anger at this point.




Nicole, who was suddenly hugged by Nigel, froze for a few seconds before she patted the man who was hugging her tightly. “Enough. You’ve squeezed me for too long and I’m almost out of breath.”




Nigel smiled. “I’ve missed you! How can you understand that without me hugging you?”




“Okay, let’s go!” she said to him.




Thus, the group of five walked out of the airport. He didn’t let anyone from his family come to pick him up while she had taken a cab here, so they could only wait for a cab.




At this moment, a black car drove over and the driver inside was Drake driver.




Young Master Nigel, please get in the car.".




"Hey! Logan, why are you here?" Nigel asked in surprise.




"Young Master Drake arranged for me to come," Logan explained while getting out of the car, then hurriedly carried the luggage to place it in the trunk...




In the car behind, Drake, who had not left, sat in Rey’s car while staring at the person in front of him. Drake saw Nigel hug the little kids and kiss them before placing them in the back seat. Then, Nicole entered the car while Nigel took the front passenger seat.




"President Butler, it seems that Young Master Nigel and Miss Chapman have a good relationship," Rey commented...




"Return to Butler Residence," Drake ordered.







On the way, Nigel received a call from his grandmother. However, since he had already agreed to accompany Nicole and her kids for lunch, he decided to only return to Butler Residence for dinner at night.




In the restaurant, Nigel talked about his plans to return to the country. He had returned to inherit the family business this time.




“What exactly does your family do? Can you tell me specifically?” an inquisitive Nicole asked.




Nigel gave a mysterious smile; he had deliberately concealed his family background abroad and she had only known him as an ordinary hotel manager.




At this moment, he didn’t want to hide the truth anymore, so he pointed to the most luxurious hotel outside the window and said, “That belongs to my family.”




Nicole turned to look out the window. It was a 7-star luxury hotel, yet it turned out to be owned by his family?




“My family has businesses in 36 countries around the world. The hotel that I interned at abroad is also owned by my family. Nicole, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hide it from you,” he apologized.




She smiled. “It’s okay. I didn’t expect you to be the young master of a wealthy family.




“Don’t say that. To you, I’m still me; nothing has changed,” he hurriedly explained.




Nicole shrugged and explained, “I’m also lucky to be able to be friends with you! I can proudly say to the outside world that I am friends with you!”




Nigel looked at her with a wry smile. Why did she just want to be his friend? He wanted to have a more intimate

relationship with her. However, he was not

in a hurry and could wait for her.




In the afternoon, he accompanied the kid's to go shopping for clothes and toys. If Nicole hadn’t stopped him, he would probably have moved the entire Lego store home for Drea, Pete and Elis. She knew that he was wealthy, but he couldn’t spoil her kids so much because she was afraid that they would become a spoiled brat.




 The little triplets were elated today because they had received many gifts, all of which were their favorites.

The little kid's went to their room to unpack the gifts in Nicole's apartment. Then, she poured a glass of water for Nigel and asked curiously, "Nigel, do you know Drake Butler?"




He almost choked on the water when he heard that, after which he hurriedly covered his thin lips and coughed.

"Nicole, you're not in love with him, are you?"




After being stunned for a few seconds,

Nicole frowned. "Why do you think so?".




“I admit that he is the only man more handsome and more attractive than mein this world. I am afraid that you will fall in love with him, and if that’s the case, I won’t be able to win the fight,” Nigel said somewhat jokingly.




“You know him?”




“He’s my cousin,” he explained.




Hearing that, Nicole was shocked and speechless. What? Is Drake Nigel’s cousin? No wonder his family is wealthy! It turned out that they’re family!




“Nicole, I know that he has acquired QR International Group and is now your new boss. Do you like him?”




She retorted indifferently, "No. Don't talk nonsense! Do you think I'm such a superficial person?".




A grinning Nigel immediately relaxed. “Of course, I know you have an eccentric character. Otherwise, based on my appearance alone, you would have fallen in love with me a long time ago.”




Nicole smiled before she looked at the time and said, “Aren’t you going back to your family for dinner? Go ahead! It’s already 5:30PM.”




“Okay, I’ll contact you tomorrow then.” Nigel returned to the room, said goodbye to the little kid's, and then left.




She was sitting on the sofa, still lost for words about how she got to know more of Drake's family. No wonder Drake didn’t allow her to talk about what happened that night. So, was he also afraid of being humiliated?

When Monday came, Nicole sent her kids to kindergarten. Seeing how obediently her kids went to school, she also went to work with a great peace of mind.




As soon as she arrived at the office, she was greeted by everyone’s attention. She didn’t know what had happened until a female assistant said to her, “Miss Chapman, your boyfriend is so handsome!”.




Boyfriend ? what boyfriend ?.
