One More Night

While sitting in the car, Nicole still had a sense of absent-mindedness. She pinched her thigh hard and felt very painful. Only then she realized she was not dreaming.

A big smile immediately appeared on her face.

“So happy?” Kevin Jake asked her.

“Yes, it’s New Year. Aren’t you happy?” Nicole asked with a grin.

“Oh, I think you are happier than me.” Kevin smiled at her, held her hand and kissed the back of her hand.

Nicole smiled and turned to look at the big red lanterns hanging on the street outside the window and the posters of the New Year hanging on all the shops.

It felt as if he was about to be released from prison. It felt so good.

The long silk scarf around her neck was blown up by the wind, so she simply untied it. Kevin saw that she was in a good mood, so she did not say anything. The wind also blew her hair, but it did not blow away her bright smiling face in the sunshine.

She relaxed all the way, but now she was a little nervous. “Will there be a lot of people in your family?”

“We’re family, not many.”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Really? What about Farah and Mr. Garcia?”

If she and Kevin wanted to go back, Farah and James should be there as well.

Last time, James crushed her body on the side of the road; they didn’t see each other again. But when they thought that they might be under the same roof as him, Nicole still felt an unspeakable embarrassment.

Kevin’s words ruthlessly destroyed her hope. He said, “They’re also here, so you’d better behave yourself!”

It didn’t take long for the parents of the Garcia family to return from the engagement ceremony.

However, James was left behind and stayed here to accompany Farah for the Spring Festival. Since Farah wanted to live in the Philip family, James had no choice but to stay here.

This time they had already entered Philip’s compound. Nicole pursed her lips and a happy smile appeared on her face.

The Philip family was very kind to her, and she was very touched. Her biggest hope since she was a child was to have such a family. She thought it was an extravagant hope, but she didn’t expect Kevin to help her.

“What are you waiting for? Come and get something.”

Nicole ran over in a hurry. In the large trunk, they were full of new year’s gifts and gifts.

She didn’t expect that Kevin was so thoughtful. She quickly helped to carry things, and her hands were full of hands.

As soon as the old lady saw Nicole bring so many things to her, she immediately stood up from the sofa and said, “Oh, Kevin is really something. How can Nicole take so many things? Come on, help her.”

“Grandma, it doesn’t matter.” Nicole smiled, because she liked the feeling of family concern.

“It doesn’t matter. Look at your little arms and legs. Kevin really doesn’t know how to be considerate.”

Kevin followed behind Nicole. She did not react to her grandmother’s complaints. “You have hands and feet. You have to do what you can.”

Nicole had gotten used to his vicious tongue and felt that what he said was quite reasonable, but the old lady pretended to hit him.

At this time, there was a cheer coming from the stairs. “Brother, you are back.”

Farah came down from upstairs and immediately rushed to him like a happy lark. She circled Kevin’s neck and gave him a kiss.

Behind her was James. He glanced at Nicole with a calm face.

Nicole was a little embarrassed. After looking at him for a second, she didn’t turn her head. Kevin let go of Farah.

The old lady also smiled and said to Nicole and James, “The brother and sister have been in a good relationship since childhood. Don’t mind. Come on, come and sit here.”

“Grandma, what are you talking about? You don’t mind being cautious. Am I right? James.” After letting go of Kevin, Farah immediately returned to James’s side and held his hand.

James smiled slightly and said, “As long as you like it.” His tone seemed to be full of love, but when he took a closer look at it, it seemed to have a sense of alienation.

Nicole didn’t know whether Farah had found it or not, but she still wore a satisfied smile on her face. She probably didn’t find it.

Emily also came down. A painting show was supposed to be held before the New Year, but because of some problems in the operation of those paintings, it would not come back until New Year, so the painting show was postponed until New Year.

During this period of time, she was busy dealing with the painting room, but it was just empty today. “Kevin and Nicole are back.”

“Mom.” Looking at this elegant and calm woman coming down the stairs, Nicole was full of joy and called out sweetly.

Carole’s gentle eyes flashed across her face. “Come on, don’t just stand there. Come here and sit down. Let’s have a good talk.”

It was really a happy time.

After lunch, the old lady’s hands were itchy and she suggested rubbing her mahjong.

In the past, she had been alone at home, so she had no choice but to get close to the door. But now, there were so many people in the family, and she could get close to them at any time, so she immediately greeted them.

Well, it’s rare that you are all empty. Come on, Farah, Nicole, come and help your grandma.” Carole said.

Farah agreed happily, but Nicole was a little embarrassed. She quickly waved her hand and said, “Mom, I don’t know how to do it.”

“You can’t learn it. Come on, it’s very simple. I’ll tell you the rules and you’ll understand.”

It was hard to turn down the warm-hearted offer.

The old lady also echoed, “Yes, don’t be afraid. There’s Kevin. He has nothing left, just money. If he wins, it’ll be yours. If he loses, it’ll be her.”

The elders were so excited that Nicole couldn’t bear to disappoint them, so she nodded and sat down with them.

Farah briefly introduced the rules to her, and then Nicole started to learn it. No matter how much she talked about it, it was not as fast as a real set of mahjong.

Didn’t everyone say that the freshmen were lucky? Well, Nicole obviously didn’t have such luck.

After a lap, Nicole lost completely. What’s more, Carole and Old Madam played a lot, which was real gold and silver. Nicole’s money was not enough for her to play a game.

She didn’t say that she loved money, but she really didn’t have the capital.

So the 8, 000 dollars in her hand, whether to fight or not, she didn’t dare to do it.

The old lady was sitting below, and she was still staring at the 8, 000 dollars being put back to the original place, and then it was thrown out.

The old lady’s disappointment was written all over her face. Nicole wanted to laugh, but she felt that it was so cruel.

However, Nicole lost in the end, and the number of people who lost was beyond imagination.

But it was faster. A stack of thick cash was placed in front of her. “What are you standing there for? If you’re willing to bet, you’ll lose. Give me the money.”

It was Old Madam who won. She felt comfortable receiving money.

“Haha, yes, yes. Nicole, look, don’t be afraid. I’ve told you that if you lose, you’ll be regarded by Kevin. Come on, let’s continue.”

Although she lost, it was just a show of happiness. Nicole also smiled, but there was always a warm breath lingering around her neck.

When he saw something wrong, he immediately stopped her, which made the old lady scream, “Kevin, you’re going to support me.”

“Can’t I?” Kevin asked faintly, which made the old lady laugh out loud. Nicole’s face turned a little red. It was so good to have someone backing her up.

On the other side, Farah also shouted at James, “James, come on, don’t let my brother bully us.”

James walked to Farah’s side and found a chair to sit down, but it was obviously not as intimate as Kevin and Nicole.

Nicole seemed to have been put into Kevin’s arms, and her face turned red.

They were fighting so hard that they were in the sky.

Farah was actually good at cooking, but when she looked at Kevin and Nicole, she was also very envious. So she always turned back to ask James for his opinion, which could be regarded as a kind and pleasant way.

It was not until the sound of the car came from outside.

The old lady was shocked and her face changed. She said to everyone, “Oh no, I forgot the time. Let’s hurry up and clean it up.”

It turned out that Grandpa was back.
