After all the food was served, | called Nicky for dinner, and she looked somewhat embarrassed.
After sitting down, she looked at Theo and spoke first, "I'm sorry for disturbing you, President Grant. I think I'll
head hafter this meal. I'm aware of Wanda's kind thoughts, but this is rather awkward."
The more understanding Nicky was, the more uneasy | felt. As soon as she said these words, | immediately
objected. "No way. You live alone and have no one to take care of you." | looked at Theo and motioned for him to
speak quickly.
However, the guy remained silent and simply ate his meal.
When she saw my gaze, Nicky chuckled. "
It's alright. I think I'll be fine soon enough."
"No can do. If it weren't for you, it would bewho's injured right now. I'm obligated to take care of you. Just go
hwhen you're better. Otherwise, | won't feel at ease."

Perhaps no one would understand what | was doing, but | simply wanted to feel more at ease.
The two of us were at a stalemate, and at this moment, Theo said, "Just stay. It's nothing. It'll be good to have
someone to care for you."
His tone sounded indifferent, and one could not hear any emotions.
Nheless, he must have no objections now that he yielded.
"Theo's approved of this as well. You should just stay without worries."
Under my enthusiasm, Nicky no longer tried to decline the invitation.
After the meal, | took her to her room." Caroline has just cleaned this room and prepared sdaily necessities.
Take a look around and see what else you need."
Nicky glanced around, nodding her head in satisfaction. "It's already very good. There shouldn't be anything else
I need."
"That's good. You should rest early. If you need anything else, you should let Caroline know." | did not want to
interrupt her too much and left after | was done talking.
Unexpectedly, Nicky actually grabbed onto me. "Let's chat, Wanda."
| never expected her to make such a proposal, so | was stunned for a moment but quickly replied, "Okay."
After sitting down together, Nicky
toldabout her concerns. "Truthfully, don't want to stay because I'm worried that President Grant will mind my
presence. He probably doesn't like outsiders staying the night. At the stime, I'm also worried that if word of
this spread, it won't be good for any of us."
"Don't worry. I'm the one forcing you to stay here. It's just Theo's character, so don't concern yourself with him.
Him agreeing to it means that he also wants your injury to quickly get better. You're
veln
overthinking this." | smiled widely, and my eyes narrowed. "There are often guests in and out of the house, so
you won't attract much attention."

confidence, Nicky's originally
flustered expression gradually stabilized. "That's good, then. | think my injury will heal very soon so
won't be a bother to you for too long."
Sensing that there was more to her words, there was a shy look on my face. "You're not."
Immediately afterward, we talked endlessly and with extrjoy.
Since Cecilia left, there were fewer people | could talk to around here. At this moment, Nicky felt like Cecilia to
me.
When | thought of Cecilia, | could not help but feel low.
"What's the matter, Wanda? Do you feel unwell?" Seeing that | suddenly lost interest, Nicky asked with concern.
| smiled and shook my head. "No. | just thought of a friend of mine. She was my best friend, but she's gone now."
"Where did she go?"
My eyes were slightly wet, and my voice trembled as | replied, "She left us due to a difficult birth."
"I'm sorry. | wasn't expecting..." Nicky apologized.
| sniffed and waved my hand around. "It's alright. It's all in the past."
