Chapter 567 Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodded, not minding it. Instead, she looked at her granddaughter with puzzlement.
“Where are you going?”
Nicole knew she could never hide things from her grandmother, nor did she intend to. “I am traveling with my
parents, worried that you would miss me, so I first came to see you.”
Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodded. “Don’t worry about me. I’m all right. Be careful when you’re out there.
Nicole listened patiently to her grandmother’s nagging admonition without interrupting her. After a moment, she
glanced at her watch. “Grandma, I have to go.” . Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodded downheartedly and sighed softly as she
watched her granddaughter turn away. Nicole had always been sensible. Especially after she was lost and found,

lest her grandmother would be worried. Mrs. Wallace Sr. knew that her granddaughter had secrets, and that she
probably was not going on a vacation. But since Nicole did not tell her, she would not ask. Returning to her room
silently, Mrs. Wallace Sr. sat down at her desk, secretly praying for Nicole’s safe return. What had to be done had
been done; Nicole and Carl headed straight for the airport. On the plane, Nicole silently looked at the clouds outside
the window, her mind drifting away. She thought of where she was about to return and sighed. Carl noticed her
emotions and turned to look at her with a slight concern in his affectionate blue eyes. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
Nicole said not a word. She shook her head gently and closed her eyes. Carl looked at her for a moment and then
pulled a blanket over her body. He did not want Nicole to continue to get involved in those things, but she was the
only person who could control those things and solve the crisis. The plane seemed to be flying in an arc across the
sky. When it landed, the sun was shining brightly, and the air was warm.

In San Joto–
When Sebastian returned home, he kneaded his forehead as he felt a little exhausted after going out for the entire
day.
A sound came from the kitchen. At first, Sebastian thought Marie was back in his house and cooking without him
asking. But before he could say anything, Martin poked his head out of the kitchen. “Dad? You’re back?”
Sebastian nodded, looking at Martin with surprise and a faint sense of puzzlement. “What are you doing in the
kitchen?”
Martin shrugged. “I’m hungry, and thinking that you must haven’t eaten, so I have also made you something.”

He looked at his son and asked, “When did you learn to cook?”
Martin replied impatiently while setting the table. “When I was still a child, you were always not at home. So I
learned a little by myself, and then when I went abroad, I was not used to the food there and learned to cook.”
Sebastian felt a faint pang of guilt upon hearing what Martin said. Martin seemed to have read his mind and cocked
an eyebrow. “Don’t get sentimental now; it’s too late.” Then he sat down at the table and dug in. “Where have you
been this evening?” he suddenly asked casually Sebastian took off his coat, and after washing his hands, he sat
down and said, “The Riddle family had a dinner party. I was invited.” ‘The Riddle family? Isn’t the family that Nicole
is from?’
Martin’s eyes widened, and he looked not too happy. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier so I could go with you?”
