Chapter 661 Chapter 661: Lonnie said nothing, but his silence was all the approval Rhys needed.
Taking a slight pause to gather his thoughts, Rhys began, If my memory servesright, it was the sday the Sanderson family invited her back.
That day was chaotic.
My grandfather had a sudden health scare, and we had to arrange for him to be flown abroad for treatment.
But midway through the flight, my helicopter encountered a malfunction.
It was a dire situation, and by sheer coincidence, I crossed paths with Harlees helicopter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI asked for her help, hoping she could get us where we needed to go.
However, she declined, suggesting instead that she could just transfer the control system.
Lonnie couldnt help but interrupt.
Humph, naturally, she mustve been eager to chand reunite with us.
Who in their right mind would want to play chauffeur for you? Rhys let out a chuckle, choosing not to argue. Despite the complications that ensued, Harlee ended up joining us.
She intended to leave initially, but then, in a semi-conscious state, my grandfather confused her with Nicola, given her striking resemblance to Nicola, and insisted she stay... Nicola, Skyla interjected, her eyes narrowing with curiosity.
Are you talking about Nicola? Rhys nodded, the faintest smile touching his lips.

For nearly three decades, the three were nearly inseparable.
However, as tpassed, Nicola becaware of a shift in Nathaniels feelings toward her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThese feelings, which crossed the bounds of their lifelong camaraderie, left Nicola unsettled.
Unwilling to confront such unconventional affection, and always having seen Nathaniel and Lonnies father as her juniors, Nicola chose to distance herself to keep Nathaniel from losing his way.
Her ability to vanish was so adept that even Nathaniel, with all his resources and success, failed to locate her. Skyla knew Nicola because Nicola had returned when she and Lonnie held their wedding.
Having admired Nicola since childhood for her business acumen, Skyla held a deep respect for Nicola, cherishing her influence in her life. Lost in memories, Lonnie mused aloud, Ah, thats why I felt such warmth when I saw Harlee.
She bears a striking resemblance to Nicola... At this, Skyla gently nudged Lonnie with her elbow@silent m reminder to be cautious of the setting and to avoid sharing too much about Nicolas past in front of the younger family members. Lonnies focus sharpened abruptly, his stern gaze locking in place.
And then? Rhys, seemingly ready for this, continued earnestly, I confess, Yeness, the first tsaw Harlee working on that helicopter, something stirred inside me.
