Chapter 1318: Instant Rapport
Stuart Floyd paused slightly while drinking tea, "I probably haven’t met before. I’ve been in Italy for a long time, and Nicole, you weren’t raised in Italy, right?"
Nicole nodded, "Yes, Uncle Floyd, I’m from City C, and I stayed in Italy for five years."
"City C?" Stuart looked at Nicole, a hint of depth in his eyes, sipped his tea, and said with a smile, "City C is a nice place. The most famous political family in City C is the renowned Seys Family, followed by the Haynes and Quinn families. If you compare, City C and City T are not far apart, and I’m from City T."
Nicole gave Stuart a surprised look, "Uncle is from City T? What a coincidence, City C and City T are neighbors. Meeting your family in Italy really is fate. When you return to City T, remember to visit City C."
"With City T, who knows in this lifetime if there will be a chance to return." Stuart’s gaze deepened, and his voice became somewhat low.
Nicole looked at Stuart with a slight hint of doubt.
Stuart quickly returned to normal, inviting Nicole to eat some fruit, then skillfully asked, "I heard in City C that the Seys Family has a beloved daughter. Is that true? It’s said that this generation of the Seys Family only has one eldest son, Arlo Seys, and this beloved daughter."
Nicole’s fingers paused slightly, her gaze glanced at the drunken Joshua, and she replied softly, "Uncle Floyd, actually, I’m... from the Seys family, not with the surname Nicole."
Stuart looked at Nicole in surprise, his teacup trembling in his hand, his voice carrying a hint of tremor, "You’re the Seys family’s only daughter? Do you know..." His words trailed off as he swallowed them, Stuart struggled to suppress his excitement and gave Nicole a glance, narrating gently, "Nicole, Uncle feels like he’s known you forever, would you be willing to stay here and chat with Uncle for a few days?"
Nicole felt a bit strange about Stuart’s attitude towards her but couldn’t put her finger on it.
She was indeed Joshua’s classmate, but for Stuart to be as excited as if he was meeting a long-lost daughter was abnormal. Why did he seem so thrilled and excited when seeing her?
Afterward, whenever Stuart faced Nicole, he spoke more softly and kindly, wearing a pleasant smile, as if looking at Nicole was like seeing his own daughter, filled with happiness and affection.
During dinner, Stuart and Mrs. Floyd paid extra attention to Nicole, continuously putting food into her bowl.
"Eat more, you’re so thin. What if your health deteriorates when you’re old? Your aunt is a doctor, and her specialty is medicinal cuisine. It’s both delicious and nutritious; you should try more. These days, while you’re staying here, let her make it for you every day."
Mrs. Floyd smiled, "Yes, what I’m best at is medicinal cuisine because I studied traditional medicine. Nicole, if you ever feel unwell, tell me, and I’ll make some medicinal food to treat you."
Stuart smiled as well, his smile particularly warm, "Listen to your Aunt, she won’t steer you wrong! Nicole, you should stay here for these days."
Nicole was surprised by how easy-going Joshua’s parents were, and she smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Floyd smiled at Nicole, "Give me your hand, let me see where you might be uncomfortable, so I can take care of you."
Stuart nodded, "You can trust your Aunt’s medical skills. She teaches at the Traditional Medicine College here in Italy, with internationally certified medical skills, guaranteed satisfaction."
Nicole found it difficult to refuse the kindness of the Floyd couple and extended her wrist to Mrs. Floyd.
Mrs. Floyd took Nicole’s pulse, after a few minutes, she looked at Nicole with a somewhat solemn expression, "Your vitality is deficient, continuing like this might... affect your fertility in the future..."
