Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1093 The Day Before the Wedding

Looking at Evelyn's reaction, Siobhan closed her eyes tiredly. Instead of listening to what Evelyn had to say, she looked at Derrick and said, "Please get to the bottom of this."

Derrick nodded. "Don't worry, Madam Gould. If Miss Wrenn is proven innocent, we will definitely send her back." Then, he ordered his men to take Evelyn away.

During the entire process, Nicole stood there squarely. Surprise filled her eyes as she had never expected Siobhan to stand by her side.

After Derrick left with Evelyn, Siobhan turned to look at Nicole. "Tomorrow is your wedding day, so you don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it for you."

Nicole pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing her reaction, Siobhan smiled bitterly and continued, "If Evelyn is behind this, I will not cover up for her. This is the price she must pay."

Nicole still kept quiet.

Siobhan thought Nicole was still upset that she had covered up for Evelyn the last time. Thus, she sighed and said, "Why don't you go and look for Old Mrs. Gould? Ever since she was discharged from the hospital, she has been in poor health. She misses you very much."

"Okay." Nicole hummed in response before leaving without hesitation.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Siobhan's eyes as she watched Nicole leave. Yet, she said nothing.

While Nicole slowly walked toward Rita, the latter was sitting in the chair, facing the window. The window was wide open, and the sunlight shone on her. She had a cup of tea in one hand and a magazine in the other. She wore a pair of glasses and looked calm. When she heard the door open, she turned around and smiled after seeing that it was Nicole. She put the tea on the table and said, "You're here, Nicole."

Nicole nodded and sat in front of Rita. She placed her hand on Rita's wrist to check her pulse. Feeling the pulse beating healthily, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Do you feel unwell, Grandma?"

When Rita heard what Nicole had addressed her, she looked at the latter excitedly. "W-What did you just call me, Nicole? D-Did you just call me Grandma?" she stuttered.

Nicole smiled when she saw the excitement in Rita. "Yeah. You are my grandma, after all. It's only normal for me to address you in this way."

Rita sighed with a smile. "I thought you would be unwilling to do so. It's fine, though. After all, you must be unfamiliar with us since you have lived abroad since you were young."

Rita was understandable. Nicole accompanied her as they chatted for some time.

At this moment, the Gould Residence was decorated with many red decorations, making the mansion lively. Rita took the wedding seriously and had prepared almost everything herself. Ever since the kidnapping, Nicole had been grateful for Rita.

On the day before the wedding, Nicole had difficulty falling asleep. Although she tried to sleep since she had to get up early tomorrow and do her makeup, she couldn't calm down as she thought about marrying Colton. Her eyes were wide open, and she looked at her phone, noticing it was already 10.00PM. Initially, she wanted to sleep at 9.00PM, but her mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts. They were nagging at the back of her mind, making it hard to fall asleep.
