Chapter 1341: Returning After One Week
Jose Floyd’s bowl was filled with food by Nicole, but he didn’t say anything, elegantly eating the food Nicole had put in, without the previous hesitation he mentioned about ’not eating food picked by others’.

The next day, Celine Sutton really took Nicole to choose clothes for Jose Floyd. When Nicole was about to pay with the card Jose gave her, Celine stepped forward and handed over her card first.
"Godmother, Jose gave me the card." Nicole declined.
Celine shook her head, holding the newly bought clothes, her eyes exceptionally gentle. "Nicole, you don’t understand, this is what I owe Jose..." Upon seeing Nicole’s puzzled eyes, Celine returned to her usual demeanor and replied with a faint smile, "Just think of it as a gift from me, his mother-in-law, as a first meeting present. Nicole, don’t refuse, and don’t tell Jose, just say you bought it."
Nicole pursed her lips and said nothing.
After shopping, they went to the supermarket.
In the supermarket, Celine kept smiling and asking Nicole about everything related to Jose Floyd, such as what he likes to eat, his habits, his past, etc. Nicole shared what she knew with Celine, who took note of it with great care deep in her heart.
When paying, Nicole’s eyes flickered as she looked at the shopping cart items chosen by Celine.
The cart was filled with dishes that Jose Floyd loved and fruits and nuts he liked.
Nicole looked at Celine, who was paying at the cashier with a gentle smile, and her gaze deepened.
Why is the Floyd Family so good to Jose Floyd? So good that it exceeds the usual boundaries...
And from this day forward, the meticulous Nicole discovered that the couple from the Floyd Family treated Jose Floyd exceedingly well, with attention to every detail, considerate and thorough.
From insisting on explaining her relationship with Jose Floyd, she became tacitly accepting it, as explaining was futile. She got used to the Floyd Family defining her relationship with Jose as a couple.
She and Jose Floyd, in their silent interactions, made her heart sink deeper. Even though she saw Jose every day, her heart couldn’t help but beat violently when Jose occasionally glances at her.
As for Jose Floyd, since he said he’d help her avenge, Nicole found that Jose left early and returned late every day, sometimes even at one or two in the morning.
After inadvertently overhearing Stuart Floyd and Celine’s conversation, Nicole learned that the battle between Jose Floyd and Jude Charington had reached a fever pitch, making the entire situation in Italy extremely tense, with smoke billowing everywhere.
As time passed, from summer to autumn.
Arlo Seys, the elder brother from City C, called across the ocean, asking Nicole to return to City C, saying two months of travel was enough and she ought to confront the marriage affair.
Nicole gave herself one last week, and told her brother on the other end of the phone, "I’ll return in a week."
Arlo on the other side hummed, finally saying in a low voice, "It’s not that we want to rush you, but... Nicole, Grandpa might not make it through this winter. In our generation, there’s only you and me. Ariel and I have settled things, but now you’re Grandpa’s only unsettled concern, his greatest wish is to see you happy before he can leave peacefully."
Nicole’s throat felt somewhat blocked, her voice hoarse as she replied, "I understand, brother."

During dinner at night, Jose Floyd happened to return early and made it in time for dinner.
Several people sat at the dining table eating.
Nicole was feeling somewhat heavy-hearted because of Arlo Seys’ telephone conversation and silently lowered her head to eat.
At the table, Stuart Floyd urged Jose Floyd to eat more, while Celine Sutton picked up some food and placed it in Nicole’s bowl. Nicole looked up and met Celine’s smile.
