    "Why do you look so pale?" Jared looked at Nicole, concerned.


    "Really? I don''t really feel any sort of difort anywhere," she replied." Perhaps I was just rushing during my


    journey home.


    "Grandma, I''m fine. I''ll be better after I take a rest." Nicole turned to her grandmother, not want Mrs. Wace Sr. to


    worry about her.


    She really did not feel weak or ufortable at all.


    Seeing that Nicole was taking her own condition lightly, Jared became annoyed, "You''re already looking this sick


    and yet you insist that you''re fine? Are you waiting for the day when you copse to finally acknowledge that you''re


    sick?


    "You should head upstairs and get some rest," Jared advised.


    Nicole looked at Jared. ''I haven''t really spoken to grandma yet, so why is he asking me to take a rest already?''


    "It''s fine. I''d like to stay here and have a little chat with grandma for a while. If you want to catch some rest, you


    can do so on your own," Nicole finished, and turned to Mrs. Wace Sr.


    Jared knew that Nicole would not listen to him anymore, so he turned to Mrs. Wace Sr. "Grandma, look at her

    being all stubborn even with the way she looks. Please tell her off."


    "Nicole..."


    "Grandma, I know my body well, so you need not worry about me. I''ll be staying here with you for a while. After


    that, I''ll head upstairs to get some sleep." Nicole said, taking the initiative to stop Mrs. Wace Sr. from persuading


    her.


    Seeing this, Jared could not help but issue a sigh and stare at Nicole.


    "Alright then. Anyway, what brought you home so suddenly?” Mrs. Wace Sr. asked, clueless about the fire at


    Martin''s factory.


    "Oh, we''re on a two-day break and I thought you haven''t seen me in a while. Because of this, I felt that I should


    Nicole did not tell her the truth. After all, it would only make Mrs. Wace Sr. anxious, and that would not be


    necessary.


    Jared felt relieved when he saw Nicole withholding the truth from the olddy because he did not want Mrs.


    Wace Sr. to worry about it as well.


    "You''re a lovely granddaughter." Mrs. Wace Sr. smiled with a look of gratitude on her face.


    "Nicole, you''ve been engaged to Jared for a while now. Shouldn''t the both of you pick a date and get married


    already?" Mrs. Wace Sr. asked, throwing the million-dor question at them.


    Nicole''s flushed a bright shade of red at once, as she never thought that Mrs. Wace Sr. would raise a question


    about this matter.


    Concurrently, Jared was also stunned, but he soon realized that it would be a good thing for him.


    "Grandma''s right, we should really start thinking about this." Jared smiled and gave Nicole a look of delight. ''How


    did I forget about something so important? Thankfully, her grandma raised the question, or else, it would still be


    sitting at the back of my mind.''


    "What is there to think about? Quit screwing around." Nicole warned as she turned around to look at him


    reproachfully.


    "How is this a joke? That was grandma’s idea." Jared said, using Mrs. Wace Sr. as a shield with which to deflect


    herebacks.


    "You!" she fumed. ''Forget it! I''m not going to argue with him. In the end of the day, he won''t be the only one to


    determine if we get married or not.


    Nicole turned around, smiled at Mrs. Wace Sr., and exined, "Grandma, we''re all busy now. We''re not in a


    hurry to get married yet."


    "How could you not be in a hurry? If you''re not in a hurry, I am. There will always be an endless bout of work for


    you to get busy with. With my old age, and if the both of you don''t get married soon, I''m not sure if I''ll get to witness


    your marriage." Mrs. Wace Sr. seethed as she looked at Nicole.


    She had been waiting for that day toe: the day when Nicole could get married and find a forever home with


    the man she loved. That was Mrs.


    Wace Sr.''s biggest dream.


    "Of course, you will. With the fact that you''re in such good health, I''m sure you can see US getting married," Nicole


    said, saddened by Mrs. Wace Sr.'' s nagging.


    Looking at Mrs. Wace Sr.''s head of white hair, she thought, ''Grandma''s worry is valid.''


    Nicole hugged Mrs. Wace Sr., as her eyes reddened, "Grandma, you must take good care of yourself. You have


    to be there during the day of my wedding in the foreseeable future."


    Mrs. Wace Sr. patted Nicole''s back andforted her. She knew that her words must have worried Nicole. "I''ve


    always been healthy, and I''m sure I''ll be able to attend your wedding. I''m just a little worried for the both of you."

    "Don''t worry. Once we''re done with much of our work, we’ll get ready for the wedding. When that dayes, you


    must dress up well, attend the ceremony, and be our witness." Nicole mustered out a smile and looked at Mrs.


    Wace Sr.
