Chapter 54 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Spencer quickly shot a look at Norah and whispered, “Since Nicole likes grilled fish, we just thought of taking her to the best place to eat.” Nicole could also hear it, although his voice was not loud. She did not expect these two brothers to treat her so well. Their action was so heart-warming. She was slow to warm up, but she had gradually accepted their kindness. “Thank you, Samuel, Spencer. This meal will be on me.” She was the one who wanted to eat grilled fish, after all. “No.” Samuel immediately straightened his back. “How can we ask our younger sister to pay for it? Your job today is to eat. It is on me.” “Since this is the case, thank you so much.” Nicole could not help but chuckle. She could not bring herself to refuse the kindness of her two brothers, no matter what. “It is very expensive here. I guess you could not afford it, Nicole.” Norah taunted. “Don’t worry, Norah. I have my brothers here.” Nicole smiled. Not bothering to talk to Norah more, she hit her where it hurt the most. Norah’s expression changed. It was her brother’s attention that she cared most about.
• But now Nicole had taken all that away. Norah could not describe how miserable she felt. She looked at Nicole, and her gaze turned darker and darker. While waiting for the food to be served, Samuel smiled at Nicole. “Spencer and I heard you were going to take the Olympiad exams. So we decided to invite you to a good meal as encouragement.” When Norah heard Nicole was taking part in the Maths Olympiad, she could not help but ask, ” You want to take part in the Maths Olympiad? It is a tough competition. Are your results up to par?” Their class – Class A – had a few selected top students take part in the exam. Even Norah herself did not get a chance. Yet a country girl like Nicole was taking part? Did she even know what the Maths Olympiad was when she signed up for it? It was unbelievable. Samuel did not get Norah’s sarcasm. He proudly held his head high and said, “Why not? Don’t forget that my sister is the daughter of the Riddle family, good enough to take part in the Maths Olympiad exam.” While they talked, the waitstaff served food to the table. While Samuel talked, Spencer thoughtfully fetched a slice of the grilled fish to Nicole. “Try it. This part tastes great.” “Thank you, Spencer.” Nicole had never been treated so attentively. She took the plate and felt touched.
• Norah saw that the treatment she had used to receive was now given to Nicole. The two brothers looked at her but did not give her the same treatment, as if they were mindful of their relationship. The jealousy exploded inside Norah. She wished she could just smash her cutlery on the table and leave. But then she saw someone walk in. ‘Is she not from the Holmes family?’ Norah did not go to Class B, but she had heard about what happened in the morning. She did not expect to see Snow’s buddy while having a meal here. It looked like God was on her side. With this thought in mind, she called out to Nicole. “This dish also tastes good. Try it.” Sure enough, her voice successfully caught the attention of Ashley, who looked startled. She breathed a sigh of relief only after she saw Nicole was not looking at her. Her parents saw she in a bad mood and brought her out to dinner. She did not expect to see Nicole here. ‘What a small world!Just when she wished she could leave, the sight of Samuel and Spencer surprised her. She wondered why a country girl like Nicole could afford to dine at such a place. Not only that, Nicole was surrounded by two famous twin handsome men. Watching the two of them attend to Nicole, treating her like a princess, struck her dumb.
