Chapter 1074 Returning to the Gould Family


    The color of the gemstone was highly pure, and it sparkled brightly under the sunlight, shining


    beautifully. Even though Nicole knew that this stone was priceless, she didn''t return it and pursed her


    lips, epting with a nod. "Thank you, Grandpa."


    When Benedict saw that she didn''t show any dislike toward it, he chuckled heartily and his aged face


    was folded with wrinkles. Then, he sighed. "I was wrong in the past, but now, my only wish is for you


    and Colton to be happy together."


    Nodding, she sincerely said, "Thank you, Grandpa."


    With nothing more to say after giving her the present, Benedict left with the help of the walking stick.


    Initially, Nicole wanted to help him back, but the stubborn old man turned her down. Hence, she saw


    him off before returning to her room.


    Anna had been so busy these days with the wedding preparations that she was barely at home. The


    news that the Gardners and the Wrenns were going to be rtives spread out in Lumore like a


    bushfire. One was the most influential family in the country while the other owned one of the biggest


    companies in the world, and this marriage of the century would inevitably make the two families even


    stronger. Three days before the wedding, Nicole had to pack her stuff and move into the Gould


    Residence for a few days because of the agreement with Rita.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    When Colton held her in his arms, reluctant to see her go, only then did she realize that this man had


    this side of him. Giggling softly, she sighed and said, "It''s not like I''m noting back again. I''m just


    staying there for a couple of days. Come and pick me up on our wedding day."


    "Okay," he answered.


    Colton was the one who drove her to the Gould Residence. Today, Rita looked exceptionally vibrant in


    a dark blue long dress and impable hair. Besides Siobhan, Jackson and Gabriel were there as well.


    The whole time, Nicole maintained a good mannerism on her face and greeted everyone politely, albeit


    sounding a little formal. A look of disappointment shed over Siobhan''s eyes, but she didn''t say


    anything about it.


    Noticing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Gabriel stepped forward and gently said, "You''re


    getting married to Colton in three days, Nicole. Just live here during this period. Dad, Mom, and I will be


    around, and you cane to us directly if you need anything."


    Nicole had always thought of Gabriel as an amicable person carrying the elegance of an


    upperssman with a touch of toughness he gained from military training. Smiling, she nodded in reply.


    "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Wrenn."


    Gabriel''s voice was gentle, and although hearing that she addressed him formally, he didn''t insist that


    she acknowledge him as her brother. "Let''s eat first. Mom has specially cooked for us today and you


    should give it a try."


    epting his invitation, Nicole followed him into the dining room and saw that Evelyn was at the table,


    too. However, she pulled a long face through the meal and looked rather unhappy with her lowered


    head without uttering a single word.


    They finished the meal in an awkward environment and Gabriel led Nicole upstairs. "You''ll be staying in


    the same room as before and the professionals will be here in the next couple of days for your wedding


    dress fitting. Also, you can choose the makeup artist and hairstylist that you like," he said while helping


    her to unpack. Something popped up in his mind, and he added, "Dad said that you''ll be holding two


    wedding banquets with Colton and the one in the country will be held first. The Wrenns will hold


    another wedding banquet abroad after some time. What do you think?"


    Looking away from him, she gently balled up her fists at her sides. After a few seconds, she raised her


    head. "I think we can forget it. I''m here today because of Old Mrs. Gould, but I have nothing to do with


    the Wrenn Family."


    Gabriel was quiet, aware that Nicole was acting this way because of what Evelyn did thest time. A


    helpless smile appeared on his face. "It was Evelyn''s fault for what happened before, and Mom was on


    her side biasedly."
