Dominic’s voice was hysterical. It was obvious that he was furious.

Kai frowned when he heard his name and knocked on the door.

Dominic did not care and turned his head. ”Who said you could come in?”

He thought it was the secretary.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Kai also brought a big shot who could not be offended behind him.

In an instant.

Dominic stood up from his chair. ”You… Wow, you came back?”

Dominic walked over with a smile. ”Ms. Stanton, every time I see you, I feel like your beauty is spellbinding!”

Nicole walked around from behind Kai. ”Go away.” Dominic said, ”Sure thing.”

Dominic was grateful that Nicole could still speak to him so calmly.

He did not mind whether she spoke harsh or pleasant words. He could accept them all.

Then, he looked at Kai, who he had not seen for a long time, excitedly.

He went up to give Kai a hug.

However, before the hug could reach Kai, Kai pushed him

away and looked at hm with dsgust.

“You’re pouncing on me the moment you see me, yet you still have the nerve to say that about other people?”

Dominic was speechless.

He reluctantly retracted his hand, but his expression could not hide his excitement.

“Why did you suddenly come back without telling me? I couId’ve picked you up! Stay a few days. I have a few big projects in my hands. Do you want to participate?

Kai walked over to sit down on the sofa and looked at him with raised brows.

“I have a flight early tomorrow morning, so I can’t do any cameos!”

“So soon… You didn’t come to see me now only because you’re leaving soon, right?”

Dominic looked at Kai speechlessly in sudden realization. Kai rubbed the arch of his brows and smiled.

“Tough job, Mr. Young.”

Dominic snorted coldly. “How many people in the circle are acting behind the scenes now? They’re all our competitors. I have my hands full and yet you’re still running around unfettered!”

Kai said, “It’s fine. Even when we’re living it up, we still have to let others get a slice of the pie!”

“You’re very open-minded!”

“I believe in your ability, Mr. Young.”

Nicole listened from the side as the two of them bickered. For some reason, she felt something off.

Dominic’s tone was just like an aggrieved wife.

It was strange and awkward.

She stole a glance at them and pursed her lips.

It was no wonder Kai wanted to keep Dominic even when she was angry at him before. Maybe there was something going on…

Just as Nicole was thinking about it, Kai threw a pillow over and interrupted her thoughts.

”What are you thinking about? Put those crooked thoughts of yours away!”

He glared at her warningly.

“Don’t say any nonsense to Julie, understand?”

Nicole stuck her tongue out. How did he know what she was thinking about?

She narrowed her eyes. “Sure thing!”

Dominic said, “Ms. Stanton, our relationship is purely that of a platonic friendship.”

Nicole nodded. “Sure, sure, sure.”

’Whatever you say!’

They were pissed off by Nicole’s reaction.

Kai threw down the things in his hand and stood up.

”Didn’t you say there’s a new batch of people? Are they in training?”

Dominic nodded.

”We’re preparing to have them debut as a boy band.” ”A boy band? How many people?”

“Seventeen.”

Kai looked at him in shock. ”So many people? How many lifetimes will it take for them to become popular?”

Even if it was a group debut, it would have three to five members at most. If it was more than that, then the focus would be blurred and the fans would not buy it.

Dominic sighed.

”We’re going for a fast-food scale now. As long as there are one or two outstanding ones among the seventeen people, it’ll be considered a success. For the rest, they can be arranged to show their faces in other projects after the boy band is disbanded. In any case, they’ll all have several opportunities. Whether they can seize them or not depends on their respective abilities.”a

Kai clicked his tongue and twirled the car keys in his hand.

“Let‘s go. Come with me to the office. Dominic keeps trembling all day after you almost fired him.”

Nicole said, “I’m not going.”

“Really? The company has a new batch of young idols. Every one of them is good-looking!”

Nicole hesitated for a few seconds. “Well, since you came back, I’ll accompany you for once!”

Kai laughed speechlessly and walked out together. “Goodbye, distinguished guest.”

The service staff tactfully opened the front door for them.

Before Nicole came, she contacted the boss of this place and told them to only serve Molly today.

The boss of this store had a good reputation in the fashion circle, but unfortunately, he was unable to open a market in Mediania.

They had been racking their brains trying to cooperate with Stanton Corporation, but unfortunately, they were unable to find an opportunity.

The situation was because they refused to lower their prices to cater to the wider market. They always took the path of fine high-end brands.

However, it was also true that there were not that many luxury consumers here to shop for wedding dresses.

Even when celebrities got married, except for some A-list big shots, those celebrities even proposed that the shop sponsored them.

Was it fun to be a freeloader?

Nicole’s status in this circle was known to everyone. If she openly publicized then, they would no longer have to worry that other wealthy young ladies would not buy from them.

Kai drove the car while Nicole rode shotgun and Luca sat in the backseat.

Nicole asked casually. “When’s your flight?” “Tomorrow morning.”

Nicole said, “So soon? Does Julie know?” Kai nodded. “She knows.”

Nicole said, “Is she coming to see you off?” Kai shook his head with a helpless smile.

“She has to go to Denmark for a business trip tonight. We’ll just miss each other.”

Nicole hesitated for a few seconds. “Why do I feel like you two are acting off? Aren’t couples usually very clingy to each other in a relationship? You were away for so long, but you only saw her a few times in the past few days when you came back. Are you guys going to break up soon?”

Kai rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth, wanting to twist her ears.

“You really don’t have a good impression of me, huh?” Nicole laughed and dodged.

“Duh!”

Kai sighed and looked ahead.

“What can I do? She’s determined to build her career. Can I stop her? I begged her to give me a second chance, so I gotta know my limits. What if she kicks me out again?”

Nicole pursed her lips. Kai was surprisingly self-aware. “So, when are you going to get married?”

Kai said, “I asked that countless times, but she still wants to observe me for a few more years! I’m just saying, you’re too unqualified as a sister! Your brother is usually so nice to you, but at such critical times, you’re of no use at all. You couId’ve whispered some things in her ear from time to time and let her know that I’m madly in love with her.

Wouldn’t she want to get married then?”

The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched.

“Julie is different from Molly. No one will be able to dupe her. You should just take things slow…”

Kai was speechless. Falcon Entertainment.

Kai went directly into the underground parking lot, then went upstairs with the internal elevator so he could avoid encountering the paparazzi who were camping outside.

After all, not many people knew that Kai was back in Mediania.

Kai did not want to expose himself with great fanfare either.

He did not inform them in advance and went straight to Dominic’s office.

The secretary was shocked for a moment when she saw Nicole and Kai outside.

However, before she could report their arrival, Kai pushed the door in with Nicole.

“What’s wrong with you guys? I want a pretty boy, not an unweaned child! Just use Kai when he debuted as the standard. I don’t want a sissy that pounces on others as soon as they meet!

Molly stood there without saying a word.

However, from Nicole’s angle, she could see that the corners of Molly’s eyes were red and moist.

Nicole looked at Maverick and gave him a look. ’What are you waiting for? Strike while the iron is hot!’

Maverick paused and took a step forward. He put one hand in his pocket as if he was about to take something out.

Nicole and Kai watched nervously and excitedly. Was he proposing?

That was really a pleasant surprise! Nicole did not teach him to do that.

She did not expect Maverick’s brain, which was full of formulas, to be able to read between the lines.

What a skill!

Molly swallowed her saliva. Although she did not speak, there was a hint of nervousness in her expression, as well as expectation.

Maverick came up to her, and under everyone’s eyes, slowly got down to his knees.

Everyone was instantly shocked. Even Kai froze.

The next second, Maverick pulled Molly’s hand and took a deep breath.

He took out something from his pocket and put it in Molly’s palm.

Nicole and Kai stiffened.

It was too late to retrieve their excited looks. Molly also had the same dumbstruck expression.

The item in her palm was not the ring she imagined.

It was a bank card.

This gift was really incomprehensible!

Nicole and Kai exchanged a glance. Nicole silently retreated two steps away.

If Molly got angry again, Nicole was not going to help.

Maverick’s move was too abnormal. He was a lost cause! Maverick said, “This is all the cash prizes I won after I met you. It represents all my honor. Although I didn’t get to buy a ring for you, I can give you my glory, which is more eternal than a ring.”

Molly quietly held the bank card tightly.

She seemed to be moved.

This scene was something she never dared to dream of.

To her, Maverick was someone whose name was in textbooks. His name was published in international journals, and he was an unreachable god-like existence.

However, this god was unexpectedIy kneeling in front of her.

Molly suddenly felt like it would be insensitive if she refused him again.

She pursed her lips and asked him, “How much money is in here? Is it enough to buy a ring?”

Maverick was stunned before he smiled.

A bit of joy colored his clear and gentle face, and the corners of his lips curled up.

“It’s enough!”

Nicole and Kai looked on in shock.

Kai said, “She compromised? Why is Molly so easy to coax?”

Nicole said, “Yeah, I thought they would definitely break up…”

Molly pulled Maverick up from the ground, and Maverick hugged her gently. The joy of regaining something he lost was unconcealed in his face.

Maverick wanted to lower his head to kiss Molly, but he suddenly realized that there were outsiders present, so he did not.

He raised his brows and looked at his nosy siblings. “You two, get out.”

Nicole and Kai were speechless.

Nicole cleared her throat and threw down a sentence before leaving.

“Molly, it’s still not too late to regret it…” Then, Nicole and Kai very sensibly walked out.

Kai clicked his tongue twice and let loose as soon as he went out.

“It’s over?”

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. “What else do you want?”

Kai shook his head and thought, ’If this was Julie, she’ll torture me half to death! Molly’s such a kind and understanding girl!’

“This is even more melodramatic than idol dramas. Even the writers don’t dare to write about it. She forgave him just because he got on his knees. What about in the future?”

Nicole said, “Well, it depends on who’s the one kneeling. If i t was you, I think it’ll only be enough if there are spikes added below your knees!”

After all, Maverick’s knees were definitely worth more!

Seeing that Maverick was about to retreat in defeat, Nicole immediately came forward to hold Molly’s arm.

“That’s right! Although I’m your sister, I have to side with Molly on this. Mav, you really went too far. You’re not suitable for each other at all. It’s better to just break up…”

Maverick stiffened. His eyes trembled as he looked at Nicole.

Kai was also stunned.

Was Nicole adding fuel to the fire?

Nicole snorted softly. “I’m going to arrange a blind date for Molly. Ian will be the first candidate. He’s from a good family, has a sweet mouth, and everyone likes him. If it doesn’t work out with him, then I’ll get someone else. In any case, anyone would cherish Molly more than you!”

Molly looked at Nicole gratefully and shed emotional tears in her heart.

Maverick gritted his teeth. His face was a bit ashen, and his voice was low.

“Lil N, don’t even think about it!”

“Molly doesn’t want you anymore anyway. It’s none of your business who she’s with in the future! Since your experiment is so important, you can live in the lab for the rest of your life. We’ll send you an invitation when Molly gets married in the future!”

Nicole finished dryly. The cold aura that could be felt around Maverick’s body became even more austere.

The air was chilly.

His brooding eyes stared at Molly. If Molly really did what Nicole said, he did not know what he would do.

Molly subconsciously gulped and felt that Nicole was so cruel.

Nicole was even more ruthless than her.

Kai stood there. His shoulders trembled with laughter. He suddenly understood why Nicole did what she did.

Nicole scolded Maverick with all her might to vent Molly’s anger. On the contrary, Molly would start to feel bad for Maverick.

What a witty little lady!

After Nicole finished speaking, she pulled Molly away to leave the place.

“Let’s go. Just let my second brother perish by himself!”

Molly was stunned.

Maverick’s face changed. He stepped forward to pull Molly’s hand.

“Don’t go…”

His voice carried a humility that was hard to conceal. He opened his mouth and spoke with difficulty.

“Molly, before I met you, I was really planning to be alone forever.

“I’m not sensitive to anyone in this world besides my family. I think that it’s all dispensable. But after I met you, I

wanted to be with you forever. You were as important to me as my experiments. No, you’re much more important than my experiments! I’m really ashamed that I forgot about our appointment that day, but please believe in my dedication to you. Please don’t give up on me so easily! I don’t know much about interpersonal relationships, but I’ll learn. I’ll go to your house and apologize to your parents. Can you please give me another chance?”

Maverick, who had always been a genius who looked down on everyone else, also had such a humble stance.

It was very awkward to say such words.

However, if saying them could make Molly change her mind, he was willing to say it, no matter how many times it took.

Nicole looked at Maverick, then at Molly. She stopped scolding him.

If Nicole continued to scold her second brother, he would really start to cry.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Molly’s eyes were downcast. She looked indifferent without any emotion.

However, her heart was in turmoil.

They had known each other for so long, but it had always been Molly who took the initiative to reach out to Maverick and go on dates with him. It had always been Molly who mustered up the courage to say those words.

Molly always thought that Maverick was marrying her because he did not hate her, not because he liked her.

Maverick looked clear and refined, but in his heart, the most important thing was always research and data.

Molly knew it well because she was also the same.

However, Maverick just said that she was more important than his experiments.

Molly changed into several wedding dresses. She looked a t herself in the mirror and was in disbelief.

She had tried on wedding dresses that other people did not even dare to think about.

Molly had to admit that the feeling and detail of these haute couture dresses really could not be compared to ordinary brands.

Nicole was very interested in admiring the dresses and gave some pertinent input from time to time.

Molly was slightly surprised by Kai’s appearance.

However, Kai was always extra friendly. Molly knew that from long ago.

Moreover, Kai gave more professional advice and evaluation than Nicole, and he was very meticulous when taking pictures of her. The photos were even more perfect than if they were taken by a professional photographer.

Molly treated Kai as a god-like mentor.

Sure enough, the aesthetics of the superstar in the entertainment industry was different!

One after another, even Nicole felt tired, but Molly tried on the wedding dresses tirelessly.

Molly looked as if she wanted to try all the dresses available.

Nicole felt a little sorry for her second brother.

Molly had been trying this wedding dress for a long time, but she still had not come out yet.

The next second, Nicole suddenly heard Molly’s raised voice.

“Why are you here? I don’t want to see you!”

“If you don’t want to see me, who do you want to see instead?”

As soon as the other voice rang out, Nicole and Kai immediately exchanged a glance and ran over nervously.

The two people stood outside the dressing room, facing each other.

Molly was trying that haute couture wedding dress that had not been released yet. She looked like a fairy who had mistakenly entered the mortal world. She was beautiful beyond words.

Opposite her, Maverick wore an expensive suit. There was nothing much to choose from, but his attire gave him a kind of reserved and ascetic sense of detachment.

The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes reddened.

Maverick could not let go of Molly, but Molly was thinking of giving up.

Kai leaned on the side and smiled. “What a match!”

Those words broke the silence between the two of them. Molly froze, turned around, and walked away.

Maverick pulled her arm. His voice was low and calm, but his expression betrayed his nervousness.

“Where are you going?”

Molly bit her lower lip. “To change back into my clothes.” “Why should you change? This one looks beautiful.”

Maverick’s gaze was dark. “I’ve never seen such a beautiful bride before.”

Molly did not expect Maverick’s words to be so gentle. The tip of her heart trembled.

However, she soon returned to normal. “Even so, I’m not yours, so just save it!” Maverick was speechless.

Molly broke away from his hand and was about to walk away when Maverick took a few steps forward and blocked her way.

“Are you still angry with me? I really didn’t mean to. The experiment that day was particularly urgent, and I forgot about everything when I was busy…”

Maverick’s clear and refined face showed a rare trace of caution and sycophancy.

Molly sniffled.

“If you can forget such an important day, I wonder how many more important things you’ll forget in the future. If it was an important experiment, you couId’ve called me to change the date, but you didn’t. My parents and I waited there for so long. Even the people in the bridal store advised us not to wait any longer. Do you know how embarrassed I felt? Do you know how embarrassed my parents felt? Even if you’re amazing, it takes two people to make a marriage work. It’s not like you’re the only one I can marry!”

Molly let out a satisfied huff after she ranted.

Maverick’s face changed slightly. The corners of his lips were pressed into a straight line.

The service staff answered with a smile and arranged for someone to pick out the dress.

Molly looked at Nicole nervously. “Do I have to try them on? What about you?”

“I currently have no intention of wearing a wedding dress, so forget it, but you can try…”

Nicole paused. “If you don’t want to, we can get a model to wear it on your behalf so you can see what it’s like, but there’s no sense of participation in that. Wedding dresses are different from other clothes. You have to wear them yourself to know. You can ask someone to wear them for you later if you get tired!”

Molly was speechless.

She still found it weird why she was suddenly trying on wedding dresses.

She only wanted to come in to see what it was like.

However, they were really too beautiful. Molly was hopelessly immersed in the beauty of the world’s top wedding dresses.

’Nevermind, I’ll just try them out! What’s the harm anyway?’ Molly thought.

Thinking that way, Molly looked at Nicole and nodded. She handed Tigger over to Nicole and ran into the fitting room.

Once inside, there was actually a service staff in the fitting

“Hello, distinguished guest, may I help you change your clothes?”

Wow, the service here was really thoughtful and could not be more comprehensive.

However, Molly did not have the habit of letting others watch as she changed her clothes.

Maybe the people in the exhibition hall were afraid that she would damage the dresses.

Molly shook her head tentatively. “I can wear it myself.”

The staff smiled without hesitation.

“Sure, I’ll wait for you outside. Please call me if you need any assistance.”

Then, the staff retreated.

Molly let out a long sigh. It was really amazing!

She held back her inner excitement and began to try on the wedding dresses.

Nicole sat to the side, eating a small snack, and leisurely watching the display video given to her by the service staff. She swiped the screen in dissatisfaction.

The next second, a man suddenly sat beside her. He picked up the snack, tasted it, and threw it aside in disgust.

“It’s not as good as the one Carol makes!”

Nicole looked at him in exasperation. “Why are you here?” It was Kai.

’Didn’t he say that he was going to discuss business with Dominic in the office?’ Nicole thought.

Kai smiled meaningfully.

“I was joking. This has to do with Mav’s wedding. How can I not participate? I only got him to bring me here because I kept pestering him.”

Nicole lowered her head and continued to watch the video, not intending to pay him any attention.

Kai was very excited. “What do you think would be the best way to have them meet later? Accidentally go into the wrong dressing room? Bumping into each other right as they finish changing and come out? Or…”

Nicole looked at him speechlessly with disdain.

“K, can you change your idol drama plot? What era do you live in? It’s so tacky!”

Kai looked at her and felt attacked.

“Tacky?! Don’t all girls love dramas like that?”

Nicole shook her head firmly.

“Only junior high students will like it. We’re all grown-ups now. It seems like you really don’t understand girls. How did Julie even fall for someone like you?”

The double blow made Kai’s face taut. His expression became unpleasant and sad.

“Stop talking.”

It was a blow coming from his own sister.

Kai thought, ’Why did Julie act so happy and excited every time I prepared a surprise? Could she be faking it?’

Kai could not help but have some doubts. He fell deep into thought.

Nicole was silent, then wondered if she had gone too far earlier. She felt uncomfortable to see Kai being upset.

She cleared her throat.

“I think that you and Julie are a match made in heaven. You two are the epitome of the phrase ’love is blind’!”

Kai rolled his eyes at her. His tone was cold. “Shut up.”

Nicole touched her nose. “K.”

Nicole hurriedly pulled Molly, who turned to leave. She laughed helplessly.

”Little Miss Molly, you have to believe in my financial strength. I’m a filthy rich woman! Can’t I even get into this store?”

Molly looked at her with a frown, half-skeptical. Nicole’s pride was hurt. She waved her hand grandly.

”This whole mall is mine. If they don’t let me in, I’ll make them disappear!”

Molly was shocked and speechless. The whole mall was Nicole’s?

Was she that rich?

Nicole pulled Molly over. Before they reached the door, the attendant inside respectfully and politely pulled the door open from inside.

“Welcome…”

Molly said, ”Wow, so there are people inside all the time…” She thought that the inside was usually closed.

Nicole was speechless.

The attendants all wore uniforms and had very standard smiles and manners.

Once they went in, they were shocked by the decoration inside.

It was opulent and it felt like describing it as luxurious would be an understatement. Every light was polished to shine like a diamond.

Wedding dresses were placed in suspended boxes of different shapes. The boxes were completely transparent so they could see the style of the dresses inside.

Some wedding dresses were several feet long and hung high in the air, allowing people to see the complete picture at a glance. It was simply shocking.

The most outstanding thing about these air exhibition boxes was that they were round, square, polygonal, and rhombus shapes that reflected the faint and cold light. It was clear at a glance that they were expensive.

Molly was fascinated and stunned by everything in front of her.

She did not expect it to look like this inside. It was like coming into another fantasy world.

On the front display screen were models wearing these haute couture wedding dresses walking down the runway. It allowed the customers to see the dynamic look of the dresses after they were worn.

Molly excitedly grabbed Nicole’s arm.

“OMG! This one is too beautiful! I remember this one hasn’t been revealed in the magazine yet…”

Saying that, Molly immediately took out her phone and intended to take a picture as a keepsake.

The service staff to the side came forward with a smile. “Distinguished guests, photography is not allowed here…”

Before she finished speaking, she saw the faces of the

people in front of her, and her words immediately changed.

“But you can definitely take pictures. We still have the latest display chart here. You can even try it on…”

Molly knew that she was a little too excited and would lose her composure.

Although that was what the attendant said, she still silently put away her phone.

“I don’t think I’ve seen this one before…”

The staff smiled. “This is an haute couture collection that will only be announced by the media next week, so there’s nothing revealed on the market at the moment.”

Molly sighed in shock and admiration.

It was so nice to be rich. It was her first time enjoying the special treatment of seeing something that others had never seen before yet.

It was no wonder people were not allowed to take photos. If it were to spread out, it would cause a tornado in the circle!

Nicole looked around and turned back.

Although they looked nice, there was nothing particularly good-looking.

“Molly, you can try all the ones you like. Feel free to choose.”

Molly swallowed her saliva. “Feel free to choose?”

Nicole nodded. “If you can’t decide, then just try all of it!” She looked at the service staff to the side.

“Forget about the styles that were bought before. Bring out the classic models and the latest models.”

After all, Molly’s wedding was a huge event. They could not just take it lightly.

Nicole smiled, looked at Molly, and carried Tigger out of her bag.

“It missed you very much…”

Tigger stomped on its four legs. “No, let me go. I wanna eat Mean Molly!”

Molly’s face instantly became spirited again as she grabbed it by the scruff.

“Do you really think that you’re a beast? Little traitor, can you even stomach it?!”

Tigger fearfully and reluctantly submitted to Molly’s strong intimidation.

After a few rounds, Tigger was forced to admit that Molly was the most beautiful woman in the world.

When Nicole saw that Molly was in a better mood, she gradually turned to the main topic.

“Molly, let’s go across the street for a spin?”

Molly raised her head and looked at the opposite street. Only then did she notice that it was an exhibition hall of luxury wedding dresses.

The wedding dresses inside were all world-class haute couture designs and were not things that could be bought just because one had money. The identity and family background of the purchaser had to be verified beforehand.

Those conditions discouraged many people, so it became a n exhibition hall for wedding dresses.

Currently, even people who went in to visit needed to register in advance with their ID card to make an appointment. It goes to show how expensive the wedding dresses were.

Of course, Molly also dreamed of going in and wearing the wedding dresses inside, but she also knew that her family background was not comparable to the Stanton family.

Maverick was not one to care about appearances, so when Molly first chose her wedding dress, she considered her family situation and picked a relatively well-known high- end bridal store.

Just like that, they had a very unpleasant incident.

Seeing Molly’s despondent look, Nicole went over and took her hand.

“Let’s go, Molly. You’re getting married, but I haven’t been involved in anything yet…”

Molly hesitated for a moment before struggling to speak. “Nikki, I may not be able to marry your brother…”

Nicole froze and tried to keep herself calm.

Although Nicole already knew about the matter between them, the moment Molly said this, it meant that it was a serious matter to her.

“The last time we were supposed to choose a wedding dress, he stood me and my family up. It would be fine if it was just me, but my parents took time off work to accompany us to choose a wedding dress. Yet, he didn’t take it seriously. I don’t dare to think about the future anymore. My parents are furious. Although I’ve always liked him and looked up to him, I can’t guarantee how long this admiration will last, so…”

Molly’s tone lowered.

The air around them was quiet.

Nicole reached out, took hold of Molly’s wrist, and looked at her with a clear gaze.

“Molly, it’s normal for you to have so many considerations. I’ll always support your decision. We’re still good friends, right?”

Molly immediately nodded.

Nicole smiled. “It’s okay, I have a lot of quality men around me. Even without my second brother, there are still lots of other men! When the time comes, I’ll hold a blind date party for you, then you can take your pick!”

Molly was stunned for a moment. She did not expect Nicole to be so straightforward.

A smile immediately surfaced on Molly’s face. She nodded.

Although Molly still felt sad, the heavy boulder weighing down her heart had disappeared.

Nicole stood up. “But you still have to look at the wedding dresses. It’s something you’ll need sooner or later anyway. Pick a few more pieces and take some pictures to let your parents see and decide if they’re satisfied or not.”

Then, Nicole pulled open the door.

When it was time to cross the street, Molly suddenly pulled her hand and lowered her voice.

“I heard that the wedding dresses in this store aren’t for sale, and you need to make an appointment to go in. I think it’s better for me to just pick a few from the magazines…

Kai clicked his tongue twice. ”Of course! I had more fun than you. Compared to you two, I look like a hedonistic trust fund kid!”

Grant finally reacted and spoke indifferently.

“Aren’t you?”

Kai and Nicole were speechless. Kai rubbed his nose and coughed. “I’d better go up to bed!”

Halfway up the steps, Kai paused, looked at Nicole, and winked.

Nicole did not understand.

She lowered her head and continued to listen to Grant. Before long, the phone that was placed to the side rang. It was Grant’s phone.

The caller ID read: Wife.

Nicole raised her eyebrows. Grant immediately picked it up.

His voice became much softer. ”Hello?”

Grant stood up and gave Nicole a look, who nodded.

He went to the side to answer the call. His clear voice answered a few times with a smile at the corners of his lips. The gentle look on his face could not be concealed.

Never in Nicole’s dreams did she think that Grant would end up like this one day.

Sure enough, finding the right person was the best thing.

Nicole looked down at the contents of the document. Just as she was thinking about it, Grant already hung up the phone.

Nicole waited for him to continue with a straight face.

However, Grant looked at the time.

“Forget it, your sister-in-law told me to rest early. I can’t stay up with you. I’m going to bed. Goodnight.”

Then, Grant gave her a look and added, “Remember to tidy up the papers.”

He loosened his collar, took his phone, and went upstairs.

The corners of his mouth still held a soft smile.

Nicole was dumbfounded. ’Am I free just because of a phone call from Aida? Grant, who was never rash, changed his mind so easily?’

His figure gradually disappeared at the stairway. Only then did Nicole slowly react.

Nicole picked up the documents and took them to the study. When she walked to the door of her room, she was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes.

She picked up her phone and looked at it. Kai sent her a message a few minutes ago. [I’ll find a savior to help you!]

Then, Kai sent her a screenshot of him calling Aida.

Nicole could not help but laugh.

It turned out that it was Kai who had called Aida, which made Aida call Grant.

Kai finally did a great job!

……………..

The next day.

Nicole sent the location of the appointment to Molly.

Molly typed. |After seeing Tigger, should we go shopping as well?]

The location was in a high-end shopping mall. Nicole had not gone shopping for a long time.

Nicole replied. [Tigger has a disease where it’ll start screaming if it doesn’t go shopping!]

Molly typed. |It’s courting death!]

Tigger drooped its head and watched helplessly as Nicole typed ”bad words” about it on the phone.

At the mall.

Nicole sat in a coffee shop waiting for Molly.

Luca was guarding her not far away so Nicole would also feel more at ease.

The marble floor was so bright and clean that one could even see their reflection in it.

A moment later, Molly came over carrying her small bag. Her hair was tied into a bun.

Nicole hurriedly waved.

“Molly, Gerard didn’t pressure you guys recently, right? D id you work overtime a lot?”

Molly laughed. “Some time ago, Mr. Lichman found out that I was getting married and gave me a month of wedding leave!”

When they were talking about the price of housing, her eyes were still smiling.

However, the next second, her smile suddenly faded.

Molly probably thought of something as melancholy and disappointment welled up in her eyes.

Nicole’s line of sight swept outside. She looked across the bridal store with a “CLOSED” sign in front and saw two men slipping in one after another.

Nicole was in a great mood and did not care about that.

“Sure, you can go if you want. It’s been a long time since you’ve seen each other anyway. Molly must miss you a lot!”

Tigger clicked its tongue with extreme disdain and jumped down to look for Floyd to be pampered.

Late at night.

The sound of a few cicadas chirping could be heard.

Nicole took a shower and changed into comfortable clothes before going downstairs to eat dessert.

Grant had just returned from Sand City and looked travel- worn.

The butler carried large and small bags behind him. Nicole’s eyes lit up.

“Cake?”

Grant nodded.

“Mm. Don’t you like to eat the cake there? I brought some back for you…”

Nicole walked over with a smile. “Thank you, Big Brother! You’ve worked hard on this business trip!”

Grant chuckled, not impressed by her silver tongue. He tossed the documents on the table.

“This is the current progress of the project in Sand City. I

think it’s necessary to rearrange some items. I’ll tell them to stop work there temporarily, and they should also pay

more attention to the procurement of the new building materials. I’ll go up and take a shower, then discuss with you later.”

Even before Nicole could take a bite of the cake, she realized that she would have to work overtime today.

Her life was too miserable!

The butler held back his laughter on the side.

“I think he bought so much delicious food because he knows that you won’t work unless you have something to eat!”

Nicole nodded in agreement. “Have Mav and K eaten yet?”

“Second Young Master is upstairs. He’s in a bad mood and said not to disturb him. Third Young Master just drove out. He said he’s going for a drink with friends.”

The butler was very responsible and reported the movements of the others.

“Chairman Stanton has gone back to his study…”

Nicole nodded and sat on the sofa. She tugged the blanket on the side and gently covered her slender legs. Then, she picked a pastry at random and bit into it.

It was good.

If she had not been in such a hurry every time she went to Sand C ity, she would have wanted to stay there longer to eat to her heart’s content!”

The TV was showing the financial news, and Nicole watched casually.

As soon as Eric returned from Liberty, he participated in many public events.

In the past, he could not even be invited.

With his number of appearances, it might not be long before the start of that huge project in his hands.

As Nicole watched TV, Grant changed his clothes after a shower and came downstairs. There was vague fatigue between his brows.

“Let’s start…”

Nicole, who had been caught off guard, was still focused on biting into the egg tart in her hand.

She looked at the time. It was almost 10:00 pm.

Nicole wanted to refuse, but she thought of how Grant had just returned from a business trip, yet he did not complain of being tired, while she played all day. What right did she have to say that she was tired?

Thus, Nicole nodded heavily, turned off the TV, and sat on the sofa next to him.

Grant took out the documents. His face was cold.

“Although there were no problems after checking the building materials, I asked the procurement department to rebid. The supplier of the new batch of building materials must be strictly selected…”

Nicole nodded along and soon got into the work.

Once Grant got down to business, two hours passed by easily.

Kai came back, reeked of alcohol. His eyes instantly widened when he saw this scene.

“Grant, you guys are still having a meeting this late?”

Grant ignored him. He did not even raise his head as he let out a faint “mm”, seemingly just tolerating Kai.

Kai looked at Nicole.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet? Don’t you want your smooth and supple skin anymore?”

The air was cold and dense.

Nicole rolled her eyes at Kai. ’Did Kai think that I don’t wanna sleep?’

She controlled her emotions.

“Third Brother, you’ve been drinking all night, huh? Did you have fun?”
