Chapter 2378

It was extremely merry while the entire family was gathered together.

“Nicole, what happened this time was a close call. Don’t take such risks anymore. There are multiple ways to deal with people like them, so why put yourself in danger? It’s not worth it, especially for someone like Snow,” June said, still feeling afraid on the behalf of Nicole.

In response, Nicole chuckled. “Don’t worry. Everything has been planned. We’re just luring them out now.”

“But what if something unexpected happens?” June shook her head in disagreement.

“I know you’re concerned about me, but trust me, we’ve made our arrangements, so you really don’t need to worry. And look, I’m fine now, am I not?” she argued.

June wanted to persuade Nicole further, but before she could, Samuel stopped her. “Don’t worry, Mr.

Johnston is with us. He won’t let anything happen to Nicole.”

He believed that since it was a planned operation, it must have been approved by Jared, which definitely meant that the plan was well thought out.

June looked at Jared and hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, she forewent the argument and kept mum instead.

And while everyone present were expressing their concerns about Nicole’s situation, Tia came home with Nolan and Lana.

“Mommy!” The kids rushed toward Nicole when they saw her, wanting to give her a big hug.

“Hey!” Just as they were about to get close to Nicole, a pair of big hands stopped them from getting too close.

Nolan turned to Jared and protested, “Why are you stopping us?”

They were really worried when they heard that Nicole was injured, but before they could pay her a visit, Nicole had disallowed them from going to the hospital. And now that she was back, Jared added salt to the wound by preventing them from hugging her.

He is too much!’ Nolan fumed.

“Mommy is injured. Don’t bump into her wound,” Jared reminded Nolan before letting them go.

Hearing that, Nolan stopped in his tracks and became obedient at once.

They then approached Nicole slowly, and once they were in close proximity to her, Nolan asked in a soft voice,” Mommy, does it still hurt?”

Nicole smiled and comforted him, saying, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Mommy, did they catch the bad guys?” Lana tilted her little head as she asked.

Nicole nodded. “Yes, they’ve been caught. The police officers have taken them away.”

Nolan and Lana instantly felt relieved when they heard that the people who had injured their mother had been caught.” That’s good. Evil people should be caught.”

Nicole lovingly ruffled their heads, her eyes filled with tenderness.

“Miss Nicole? I’ll be heading back if there’s nothing else,” Tia announced.

She was relieved to see that Nicole was fine, so she proceeded to head back just so that she could tend to Mrs. Wallace Sr.

Before she could, Nicole stopped her and said, “Bring Grandma over. Let’s all have dinner together and enjoy ourselves tonight.”

“Sure, I’ll be going now,” Tia agreed as she thought that Nicole missed Mrs. Wallace Sr.

“Well then, let’s all wait in the dining room,” Gloria called.

Soon after, the entire family sat down in the dining room, chatting and eating happily.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. was seated next to Gloria, and the two of them chatted with smiles on their faces as they watched the children and their antics.

“I am content, knowing that they’re doing well.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at them affectionately, her sweeping gaze finally stopping on Nicole.

‘This girl has gone through too many hardships, and it’s finally over. I’m glad!’ she thought.

“I’ll be truly relieved when every single one of them gets married.” Gloria nodded in agreement.

This was her biggest wish now. She wanted to see her children get married, start their own families, and find the happiness they deserved.

“Well, they’re already preparing for their weddings. Soon your wish will come true,” Mrs. Wallace Sr.

stated with a radiant smile.

While Nicole was missing, the Riddle family had been taking care of Mrs. Wallace Sr., who really liked Nicole’s older brothers. Now that she could see that they were all starting their own families, she sincerely felt happy for them.
