After Nicole and Zachary greeted Gabriel, they went downstairs. Although the party had yet to begin, it seemed
rather dead despite the brightly lit Gould Residence.
During then, he was holding her hand in silence.
Smiling, Nicole looked at him and asked, "Aren't you curious as to why Madam Gould wants to adopt me?"
Zachary glanced softly at her and revealed a subtle smile. "If you want to let me in, I'll listen to you. If not, I won't
pry into it."
This made her purse her lips. Undeniably, he was always this gentle toward her.
With a smirk, she started to explain, "Actually, I don't understand why the madam wants me as her foster daughter.
If it's because of the blood transfusion, then she could just take me in as a goddaughter."

Yet, this thought suppressed itself after a flash. Even if there were a mountain of evidence in front of her, she still

Pursing her lips, she hung her head low without speaking.
As if seeing through her disappointment, Zachary reached out and put his arm across her shoulder to comfort her.
"Don't think too much into it."
Nicole responded by nodding. Then, the two found a spot and sat down. Just as they did, they heard her stomach

He laughed out of response, which made her blush in embarrassment. Coughing lightly, she touched her nose
awkwardly and stated, "I didn't eat lunch today to make sure I look nice in this dress."
He smiled and uttered gently, "I'll get some food for you." Then, he added upon standing up. "You look good no

explain.
Yet, the moment she did, the old lady came up and tugged on her in panic. "Why did you stand up? Your legs aren't
healed yet. What if you injure them again?"
Nicole quickly explained, "Hello, I'm Nicole."
After hearing the alien voice, the old lady instantly stopped in her action. Her eyes almost turned into slits as she
observed Nicole intently. It was after a long while when she realized what had transpired, so she smacked her
forehead lightly and said, "Oh dear, Lord bless my eyes. I mistook someone else as my daughter."
It turned out that the woman in front of her was Old Mrs. Gould, Rita.
With that, Nicole helped her along respectfully and said, "It might be because my dress is similar to Madam Gould's,
which caused the misunderstanding."
Rita adored this woman who looked like her daughter, for she kept scanning Nicole's features. Finally, she spoke,
