Chapter 291


    1/5


    Like what his mother told him, Nathan kept a close eye on his sister so she wouldn’t say


    anything s***d, but Nicole was more… unorthodox than he expected, and he couldn’t


    react to her actions in time.


    The moment she saw Silent Night the next day, the first thing she said was, “Mr. Night,


    you’re handsome.”


    Oh no. Nathan knew something was wrong, and before Nicole could say it, he knew


    what woulde out of her mouth. He tried his best to stop her, but…


    Nicole said, “I want you to be my daddy.”


    Nathan felt deted. Mission failed, Mommy.


    ric was holding something in his hands, but when he heard what Nicole told him, he


    froze. The shock got to him, and the bag he held fell out of his hand. The plopping


    sound attracted everyone’s attention, but since they were just kids, they only looked on


    in curiosity and confusion.


    ric stared at the wide-eyed Nicole in disbelief. He then went down and held her


    petite shoulders. “What did you say?” He whispered, “Can you say that again?”

    Nicole felt a great strength holding down her shoulders, but it didn’t hurt. Silent Night


    loomed over her, but for some reason, she thought he felt friendly, so she wasn’t scared


    at all. “I like you, Mr. Night. Can you be my daddy?”


    Listening to that again melted ric’s heart. His daughter liked him enough that she


    wanted him to be her father, and he thought it would be a long time before his kid


    would like him enough for that.


    “Mr. Night.” Nathan came over and nervously said, “She was kidding, Mr. Night.”


    ric asked him. “Do you want me to?”


    Nathan froze, wondering what ric was saying, then Nicole said loudly, “He would


    love it!”


    Oh, so that’s what they were talking about.


    Like a ko, Nicole held on to ric like he was a eucalyptus tree. “If you want to be my


    daddy, then you have to woo Mommy.”


    –


    ric’s heart had melted, and he said softly, “I will.”


    “What if she says no?” Nicole was still worried about what her mother told her. The fact


    Mon,

    she wanted her to keep a secret meant she didn’t want to marry Silent Night. But I really


    like him.


    ric patted her head and gently said, “She won’t say no.” That might not be reassuring


    enough. ric organized his words and said, “Even if she says no, I’ll do my very best to


    change her mind.”


    Nathan had no idea what to say in this situation. He poked his fingers together,


    wondering how he should exin this to his motherter.


    ric asked, “Shall we have lunch?”


    Nicole nodded, and ric took the kids to their spot for lunch. Zack was his nephew in


    public, but ric didn’t look at him. Still, he didn’t mind. When he went home the night.


    before, his parents told him to stay quiet and nice whenever this man was around, and


    he was to do what he was told. Zack listened to them, and he understood that his


    family was living a better life thanks to this man. Even when he was ignored, he didn’t


    mind.


    ric didn’t bring any junk food that day. His chef prepared the food and filled the


    lunchboxes for the kids. ricid the lunchboxes out and opened them up. Never did


    he think the day woulde when he would bring his kids’ lunch to them at school. If


    someone had told him a few years ago that this would be his life, he would call them

    mad, but now he was more than happy to do this.

    Especially when he noticed the change in his kids’ eyes when they saw the food. They


    were obviously astonished that he would bring them a feast. A smile curled ric’s lips,


    and he asked, “Did you wash your hands?”


    “Yep.” Nicole swung her hands around.


    While they had lunch, ric looked at the silent Nathan, then at Nicole. Quietly, he


    asked, “Does your mother know of your proposal, Nicole?”


    “What do you mean?”


    “That you want me to be your daddy.”


    “Oh, that. Yeah, she knows. I told her yesterday.”


    And ric looked surprised. She told her yesterday? And she brought it up with me


    today? Did Victoria say yes? The thought of that possibility made ric frown. “So,


    what did she say? Did she agree to this?” He hoped she would agree, but at the same


    time, he didn’t want that.


    If she did agree to that proposal, ric wouldn’t be happy. Silent Night might not be a


    Chapter 291 Are You Willing

    total stranger to Victoria, but he wasn’t exactly a close friend either. There’s no way she


    would agree. Thanks to his secret identity, ric had fallen into a dilemma.


    Nicole took a bite of the meat and puffed her cheeks. “Eh, you shouldn’t ask. The


    answer’s gonna break your heart.”


    ric snapped out of it. “Is that so?” I see. He knew that would happen, but he still felt


    a little down. “So, it was a no.”


    Nicole nodded. “Yeah, but don’t worry. I’ll help you out.” Nicole patted his hand like she


    wanted tofort him.


    It was just a little gesture, but it felt so warm to ric. He pursed his lips and made a


    pinky promise to her. “Pinky promise? If she says no, you’ll help me out?”


    Nicole was still munching on her food, and her cheeks were puffed, then she quickly


    made the pinky promise. “Sure, Mr. Night.”


    Done. ric patted Nicole’s head, and a cryptic smile curled his lips. She seems to like


    me a lot. Before I tell everyone the truth, I’ll try to make them my allies. Nicole’s on my


    side now, so Nathan is the only one left.
