Chapter 1219
"Why do you look so pale?" Jared looked at Nicole, concerned.
"Really? I don't really feel any sort of discomfort 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.
Wallace Sr. to worry about her.
She really did not feel weak or uncomfortable 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 collapse 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. Wallace Sr.

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. Wallace 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. Wallace 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
come back and pay you a visit, so you wouldn't be worrying about me."
Nicole did not tell her the truth. After all, it would only make Mrs. Wallace Sr. anxious, and that would not be
necessary.
Jared felt relieved when he saw Nicole withholding the truth from the old lady because he did not want Mrs. Wallace
Sr. to worry about it as well.
"You're a lovely granddaughter." Mrs. Wallace 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. Wallace Sr. asked, throwing the million-dollar question at them.
Nicole's flushed a bright shade of red at once, as she never thought that Mrs. Wallace 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. Wallace Sr. as a shield with which to deflect
her comebacks.
"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. 1
Nicole turned around, smiled at Mrs. Wallace Sr., and explained, "Grandma, we're all busy now. We're
not in a hurry to get married yet."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"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. Wallace Sr. seethed as she looked at Nicole.
She had been waiting for that day to come: the day when Nicole could get married and find a forever
home with the man she loved. That was Mrs.
Wallace 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. Wallace Sr.' s nagging.
Looking at Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s head of white hair, she thought, 'Grandma's worry is valid.'
Nicole hugged Mrs. Wallace 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. Wallace Sr. patted Nicole's back and comforted 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 day
comes, you must dress up well, attend the ceremony, and be our witness." Nicole mustered out a
smile and looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr.
