His eyes then looked at Nicole. “Falling sick this time made me clearly decide that Nicole’s identity can
no longer be so ambiguous. She is indeed a member of the Riddle family, and this will not be erased by
any other unrelated reasons. I shall announce her identity to the outside world.”
Both Damien and Miley instantly frowned. “Dad, this is a little too sudden, isn’t it?” “Yeah, let’s wait until
you recover, okay?” Miley, too, disagreed in her response. Nicole was just a country bumpkin they had
found outside. If they were to announce her identity, wouldn’t that make his sons and daughters a
laughingstock?
Mr. Riddle Sr. could not even be bothered with them. “I’ve already made up my mind on this matter.
The two of you don’t have to say anything else.”
With that, everyone was stunned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth Damien, Dillon, and their wives looked at the old man in disbelief.
Both Daniel and Gloria were secretly excited as the day Mr. Riddle Sr. finally recognized Nicole had
come!
Yet, Nicole’s expression did not change much as she looked at her watch and said faintly,” Grandpa,
you should be resting now.”
When everyone was eating in the dining room, he too was fed a liquid diet, which meant that he had
not rested until now, and she could not let him exert himself any longer.
Miley gave Nicole a disagreeing look. “Nicole, you are just a child. How can you use such an imperative
tone toward your grandfather?”
She was trying to provoke Mr. Riddle Sr.’s dissatisfaction with Nicole and waiting to see her being
scolded by the old man.
Yet, Mr. Riddle Sr. instead listened to Nicole. He was not only not angry, but he also nodded in
agreement as well as he slowly laid down.
Nicole’s timing was impeccable. He had indeed felt a little tired and wanted to have a good rest.
Seeing him lying down, Daniel quickly covered him with a quilt.
“Dad, have a good rest. We’ll head back first.”
Seeing that, Damien, Miley, and the rest could only leave together. As the door closed, Damien looked
at Daniel and his wife hogging the limelight today and felt a little irritable. Chloe did not rush back to
see Mr. Riddle Sr. wake up. If she had been around, the limelight would not have been Nicole’s alone.
As he thought of this, he gave Miley a glare. This was the good daughter she raised! The daughter was
only busy with work all day and not unlike a country girl who knew when to flatter someone. Everyone
went downstairs. Nicole planned to go straight back to school and did not intend to stay the night at the
Riddle family manor.
Seeing her in such a hurry, Daniel felt a little distress. “You really need to get a good rest once you get
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmback tonight.”
Nicole looked at her father’s worried expression and replied softly. “I’m not tired. I still need to catch up
on classes when I go back to school.” Gloria, too gave her a pained look. “You’re going back just to
study?” Nicole said somewhat helplessly. “The monthly exam is soon.”
Although Mr. Riddle Sr. had agreed to declare her identity, that meant that she would become a
member of the Riddle family, and she could not afford to neglect her exams.
“Then I’ll send a driver to send you back.” Seeing how serious she was, Daniel could only agree.
Nicole nodded. Seeing Gloria’s reluctant look, she pondered a little before saying. “I’ll come back often
to watch Grandpa take his medicine.”
When Gloria heard her say that, she was a little more relieved. Yet, she was bound to feel a little sad
seeing her daughter leaving. “Take care then.”
Soon, the chauffeurs drove the cars over. Nicole got onto one while Daniel and his wife got into another
as they left.
Damien stood in Mr. Riddle Sr.’s room as he watched them leave. He then turned his eyes toward Mr.
Riddle Sr., who had already fallen into a slight sleep, and his gaze became deep.
