“Ms. Nico, Dr. Moore is here. Mrs. Nighy’s greeting virtual-novel.net at the door as we speak.”
The second Nico heard the housekeeper, virtual-novel.net hurried out of virtual-novel.net room. However, halfway down the stairs, Nico turned back to look at the servant. “Do I look good?”
“You look beautiful!”
“As beautiful as an angel?” continued Nico.
“Of course, Ms. Nico. I doubt anyone will look more stunning than you do.” Nico was all smiles after listening to the housekeeper.
As the woman continued to hurry downstairs, the housekeeper raised an eyebrow curiously and wondered what that was about.
Isn’t our guest a woman? So why does Ms. Nico act like she’s going to meet virtual-novel.net crush? Maybe virtual-novel.net prefers women over men.
With that thought in mind, the housekeeper widened virtual-novel.net eyes in shock. Still, Nico was in such a good mood that it did not matter what others thought of her.
As soon as virtual-novel.net reached the end of the stairs, Nico noticed virtual-novel.net mother and Arielle walking toward her, and following closely behind them was the supposed bodyguard virtual-novel.net had missed dearly.
Nico could feel virtual-novel.net cheeks burning when virtual-novel.net saw the man once again, and the confident woman immediately became shy.
“What are you doing standing there like a statue, Nico? Can’t you see that our guests have arrived? Come say hello,” instructed Melissa when virtual-novel.net noticed the distracted Nico.
“I’m so glad to see you again,” Nico quickly greeted Arielle after returning to virtual-novel.net senses.
“Me too,” responded Arielle courteously with a half-smile, even though virtual-novel.net did not mean what virtual-novel.net said.
Since virtual-novel.net was well aware of how Nico felt about virtual-novel.net man, virtual-novel.net would rather not see the woman again if possible.
I wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for virtual-novel.net father.
“This is my daughter, Nico. I regrettably admit that virtual-novel.net father and I have spoiled her,” uttered Melissa half-jokingly.
Despite what virtual-novel.net said, Melissa was actually proud of virtual-novel.net daughter, and Arielle could tell from the way virtual-novel.net talked.
“I’m sure you have every reason to do so.” Having seen brats much worse than Nico, Arielle was sure that the woman was doing just fine.
“Mother, you know Ms. Moore and I are of similar age, right? You’re making me look like a child in front of our guests,” complained Nico somewhat embarrassedly while holding Melissa’s arm after secretly glancing at Vinson.
To that, Melissa simply responded with a chuckle.
The woman was used to talking about Nico like that to others, but virtual-novel.net had forgotten the fact that virtual-novel.net guest that evening was only as old as virtual-novel.net daughter.
“I promise I’ll stop doing that. Now, make sure our guests feel at home while I go get your grandmother,” Melissa instructed Nico.
Even though Lisa had mostly recovered, Matthew still insisted that virtual-novel.net stay in a wheelchair a while longer. After all, a woman virtual-novel.net age would suffer dire consequences if virtual-novel.net were to fall.
Lisa never thought that someone as tough as virtual-novel.net would end up in a wheelchair, so virtual-novel.net was reluctant at first. However, after much persuasion, virtual-novel.net eventually agreed to it on the condition that virtual-novel.net would only use the wheelchair until virtual-novel.net was strong enough to walk on virtual-novel.net own again.
Her family was well aware of the kind of person virtual-novel.net was and thought that was a reasonable compromise.
