Chapter 254 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• She knew it; it was still Mrs.Wallace Sr. who cared for her the most. Daniel, his wife, and their children saw Nicole and Mrs.Wallace Sr. out. As they came out of the door, Sean drove over a low-key but luxurious Mercedes-Benz. This Mercedes-Benz sport sedan was well known for its comfort. Sean chose the car with Mrs.Wallace Sr. in mind. Nicole raised an eyebrow as she watched Sean get out of the car and open the door for Mrs.Wallace Sr., then waited until her grandmother had gotten in before he returned to the driver's seat.
• His heartwarming gesture left Nicole deeply moved. Sean might be taciturn, but he was very thoughtful. Not wanting to delay further, Nicole also got into the car and sat next to her grandmother. Great Oak was about a two-and-a-half-hour to three-hour drive from here. As the three of them chatted all the way, time passed quickly. Arriving at the destination and before getting out of the car, Mrs.Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole and felt reluctant to leave. Sean saw this and gave them a little more time, motioning for Nicole to send her grandmother upstairs while he waited downstairs.
• As Nicole and her grandmother entered the house, Mrs.Wallace Sr. took Nicole's hand and asked anxiously, "Tell me the truth—why did Mr.Riddle Sr. say your grades had slipped? "Was it because you've been distracted since coming to San Joto?" Nicole smiled, not expecting Mrs.Wallace Sr. to still be mindful of it. No, there is no exam yet. He doesn't know what my grades are; he's just worried." Mrs.Wallace Sr. was relieved. She exhorted Nicole and patted her hand, as if thinking of something. "Before this, I was worried that the Riddle family would not be able to accept you, but after I saw your parents and brothers, and they're all good to you, I'm at ease."
