Chapter 161 Nicole Glanced

• Nicole glanced at her watch as she drove into the castle grounds, heading for the family parking area at the back. Almost five o’clock. Late enough for everyone to have gone home. Not that she would have minded saying hello to Matt King’s older brothers and she really liked their wives. Gina was genuinely warm-hearted and Hannah literally bubbled with the joy of life. Probably more so now if she was expecting a baby, as Mrs. King suspected.
• No doubt she would hear all the family news over dinner tonight, though it was a shame she had missed out on Hannah’s excitement. Nicole instantly argued that Matt King’s presence at the luncheon would have dampened it for her anyway. And if he’d been seated next to her at the dining table...she shuddered at the thought. An utterly intolerable situation.
• It was reassuring to see that the helipad was empty. Clearly Tony and Hannah had flown back to their home on the tea plantation at Cape Tribulation. Alex’s Mercedes was not in the parking lot, but the one car sitting by itself gave Nicole’s heart a nasty lurch—a forest-green Saab convertible, a typical choice for a wealthy, sexy bachelor like Matt King.
