Chapter 1262 You Come Back Alone?
Nicole wanted to say something else, but Jessica continued. "Mrs. Jones, I bought you a birthday
present. Open it."
She handed the box to Nicole,
Nicole couldn't help smiling, and forgot what she was going to say. She took over the box and
pretended to be angry. "You don't have to buy me anything. Just come back often."
Arabel walked over. "Open it. Let's have a look."
Although Nicole said so, she was very happy to receive a gift from Jessica.
Nicole opened the box and saw the logo on the box. The she frowned. "You really need to stop buying
me expensive gifts."
"No, it's not expensive."
Compared to Nicole's other jewelries, this pair of earrings was not expensive.
However, Nicole was concerned about Jessica, and thought Jessica's work must be very hard.
Moreover, Jessica lived alone and stopped asking her parents for money a long time ago. Therefore,
Nicole was worried that Jessica could not live a good life.
However, Nicole did not say anything else and opened the box.
When she saw the earrings inside, her eyes lit up. "It's so beautiful. It should look good with my coat."
Nicole was wearing the coat she had posted in her photos on Moments yesterday.
"Let me help you." Jessica looked at Nicole and offered to help Nicole.
Nicole smiled. "Sure."
After putting the earrings on, Nicole looked at herself in the mirror and was very pleased, "It looks
good. Thank you, Jessica."
Jessica nodded. "It fits you perfectly."
"Mom." Carl suddenly came over. Nobody knew when he returned.
Jessica froze, and then she calmed down and looked at Carl. "Carl, you're back."
Both Nicole and Arabel had sharp eyes. Jessica had to act natural so that they wouldn't find out she
had a fight with Carl.
"Yeah." Carl looked at Jessica and then turned to greet Arabel. "Mrs. Hicks."
He was even calmer than Jessica.
"Mom, beautiful earrings." Carl turned around and saw the earrings on Nicole's ears.
Nicole smiled. "Jessica bought it for me."
"Oh, Jessica must have spent a lot on it." Carl looked at Jessica intentionally.
Jessica looked at him with a fake smile. Then she turned to look at Arabel. "Mom, I'm going to the
bathroom."
Jessica couldn't stay here any longer, as she just wanted to beat Carl up.
Jessica looked perfectly fine. Arabel and Nicole didn't find anything strange about her. When Jessica
left, Nicole tilted her head and looked behind Carl.
"Who are you looking at?" Carl turned around.
"You come back alone?" The smile on Nicole's face faded. She frowned as she looked at Carl. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Carl shrugged. "Of course."
Nicole said angrily, "You're in your thirties, and still not married. Why are you back?"
Carl was speechless. Every time he came back, Nicole would ask him about that. But what could he
do? He could only let her scold him.
Arabel couldn't help but laugh, "Nicole, don't say that. Carl is still a young man. There's no hurry.
Jessica is almost thirty, and I'm okay with that."
"Jessica is different! She's an actress, and she's approaching the peak of her career. It's normal for her
to get married late. Look at Carl. His career is a story of utter disaster."
"No, Carl runs such a big company. He's also working very hard."
"Yeah, that's what boys should do."
Carl wanted to sneak away when Nicole talked to Arabel. However, Nicole noticed it and stopped him.
"Stay here!"
"Mom?"
"I'm going out to greet guests. Wait here for Jessica."
"Alright." That was indeed what Carl wanted.
