After Rey finished speaking, he immediately tried to cover his mouth. He knew that Drake didn’t want to hear this.

Upon hearing this, Drake snorted coldly.




 Nigel really has nothing to do all day long; he’s focusing all his efforts on pursuing women.

As he narrowed his eyes, he reached out to dial the internal line.




“Hello, who is it?” Nicole sweet voice came from the other side.




“I warned you not to get too close to my cousin. Are you not taking it seriously?” Drake said coldly.




“Why are you such a busybody, Drake? You are the boss of the company, but after work, you are nobody to me,” Nicole retorted.




Drake face darkened at once. This woman really had the ability to be irritating.




“If you dare to play with his heart—”




“We’re just hanging out as friends. It’s none of your business.” Nicole hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.




Drake face turned even gloomier. This woman is really uncouth. Why would Grandma want me to marry such a woman?




After work, Nicole was the first to rush out of the door of the office as she charged downstairs. Nigel’s off-road vehicle was parked at the front door, and it was particularly eye-catching.




Soon, Nicole got into the passenger seat of the car before she said to him, “Let’s go pick Jared up!”




Nigel looked at the woman, who was still in her work uniform, and his fascination with her flashed across his eyes. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in a uniform.".




Nicole felt delighted in her heart. “I like to hear comments like this.”

When they picked up the little kid's at school, they were very happy. 




They sat in the safety seat specially prepared for them in the back, and he even sang a song they had just learned aloud.




“Mom and Dad are going to work… and I’m going to school. I mustn’t cry or make trouble, but be good and greet my teacher good morning…”




Their bright and loud voice sounded happy as they sang.




 Nicole clapped along to the tempo, which encouraged the kid's to sing even louder.




 In fact, they sang it several times. Even Nigel hummed along, and there was a happy atmosphere in the whole car.




At the high-end restaurant, Nigel ordered a big meal. As he looked at the little kid's handsome face, his wish to become the father of this children heightened in his heart. 




Although Drea, Pete and Elis were not his own children, he would definitely love them as if they were his biological children.




Soon, his gaze fell on the woman opposite him. As long as she agreed, he would immediately marry her and give them both a safe and secure place to call home.




They walked around in the mall after dinner, and the little kid's got a few more gifts. With that being said, Nicole really disagreed with Nigel’s way of showing affection for her children. 




Fortunately, her kids was not the kind of children who would be addicted to getting gifts.




At 9.30PM, Nigel’s car was parked in front of Nicole apartment. He felt distressed when he heard that it was rented to her by the company.




 Thus, it seemed that it was time for him to show his ability. He decided to give her a large apartment unit in the city center tomorrow so that they could live in the safest community.




“Come and give me a kiss before you go.” Nigel hugged the little kids, who kissed his cheek at once. Then, Nigel looked at the woman next to him and wanted her to kiss him too, but he didn’t have the courage to ask.




 At this point, he didn’t dare to show his intentions too much for fear of scaring her away.

Nicole waved goodbye as she held her kids before heading back to her apartment. 




However, Nigel did not leave for a long time. As soon as the kids returned to the apartment, they asked the burning question that they had been thinking about all this time.




 “Mommy, do you think Uncle Nigel is a nice man?” Drea asked 




 “Mommy, do you think Uncle Nigel is a nice man?” Elis inquired beaming her tiny eyes.




 “Mommy, do you think Uncle Nigel is a nice man?” Pete asked the same question again




“Yes, he is!”




"Do you like him?" The three kids asked at the same time.




"I like him." Nicole neatly packed the toys away in the house while answering her kid's question...




"In that case, do you want to marry him?" little Drea asked again.




Nicole's hands froze while packing the toys. She couldn't help but look back at her daughter as she smiled. "Drea, I only think of him as a friend!".




The little girl didn't quite understand the feelings between adults, though. Can't they be together if they like each other?




"Mommy, I think Uncle Nigel likes you very much."




A hint of helplessness flashed in Nicole's heart. She could also feel that Nigel clearly had some romantic interest in her, but she felt that she was not worthy of him -he

deserved a better woman..










That night five years ago, Nicole was already tainted after being violated by a jerk. Ever since then, she had no interest in men anymore.




 Her kid's was everything in her life, and she didn’t need marriage, love, or men.




She had always regarded Nigel as a friend. When she was on the way to meet a client, she met him while he was involved in a car accident. 




Seeing that Nigel’s car was filled with smoke, she rushed over without saying a word and dragged the injured man out of the driver’s seat.




In less than two minutes, his car exploded on the spot. At that time, she was drenched in cold sweat and was extremely afraid. Had she died there, her Kid's would’ve been orphaned.




Since Nicole and Nigel had nearly faced death together, their relationship was deeper than other friendships. After rescuing him, she left.




 Later on, Nigel found her and kept chasing after the woman to repay his debt to her. Gradually, they became acquainted and made friends with each other.




When Gerald Chapman came home in the evening, Wanda asked while picking up his bag for him, “I’m going out to meet some friends the night after tomorrow, Gerald. Do accompany me to attend the event.”




“The day after tomorrow? What time?”




“We’re just going to have dinner that evening!"




“I won’t have time, so I can’t go.”




“What? Do you have to work overtime?”




“No, I need to take care of Nicole's kids. She has to work overtime at night, so I have to take care of Drea, Pete and Elis.” Gerald didn’t treat Wanda as an outsider, so he was forthright with her.







Wanda face turned ugly all of a sudden. She snorted and replied, “You only think about your elder daughter all day long, don’t you! Don’t forget that she’s the one who messed up our family.”




"It's difficult for her to raise a child alone.




Naturally, I will try my best to help her,"




Gerald said helplessly.




"Help her? You know how to help her, but why don't you help our Amelia?" Wanda immediately snorted, looking extremely upset..




Gerald was also stuck in the middle between his family and Nicole, but he still firmly wanted to help the latter because he owed her a lot in the past five years.




Meanwhile, Amelia overheard their conversation on the second floor, and she knew that her chance had come.




Soon, Gerald took a shower and sat in the study room on the second floor to watch the news. After a moment, Amelia came in with a plate of fruits. “I see that you haven’t gone to bed, Dad.”




“Yeah.”




“Dad, I heard that you want to watch Nicole's Kids for her. Actually, I want to take care of them with you. They are my nephew after all, and I want to do my best for them..”




Gerald’ eyes lit up with joy; it seemed that his younger daughter was quite sensible! He then praised, “Amelia, I’m very happy that you have such good intentions.




 Okay, you can come with me the night after tomorrow!”

Amelia nodded obediently. “Yeah! That’s great, Dad, but don’t tell her first. 




I’m afraid she won’t let me come when she hears that I want to tag along.”




“Okay! I won’t tell her.” Gerald didn’t see through Amelia plans. To him, the happiest thing was that his two daughters could get along peacefully.

In the blink of an eye, Friday arrived. When Nicole sent her kids to school in the morning, she told them that their grandpa would come to pick them up from school in the evening. 




Little Elis nodded sensibly. “Don’t worry, Mommy. I will listen to Grandpa.”




“Okay, I’ll go earn more money for us.” Nicole patted their little head and was very happy.




Over the past two days, May had gone to Nicole from time to time to ask for some advice. She also bought coffee and snacks to please the latter. Of course, Nicole didn’t want to accept these favors, but she did so since May insisted on it.




.....




At 2.00PM, Nigel appeared in Bourgeois while holding a gift and a bunch of flowers in his hands. In fact, he completely looked like Nicole's boyfriend. He was a handsome and cheerful man, so he attracted attention wherever he went.




 A group of female staff were completely envious of

Nicole..




"Wow! Look at him sending a bunch of flowers again."




"He's hot!"




"Not only is he hot, he looks incredibly rich as well.".




“I think he’s from one of those super rich families. The watch he’s wearing is worth tens of millions.”




“Tsk-tsk, how did Nicole get such good luck?”
