Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 819

Chapter 819

They decorated the exterior of the Gould Residence in an eye-catching way because of the party, but the interior leaned toward vintage.

As soon as Nicole and Zachary stopped the car at the front door, an employee came over and offered to park the car at the assigned parking lot.

So, Nicole stepped out of the car in her heels and long dress, which made her look dignified and exuded confidence. Zachary walked over, stood by her side, and took her arm naturally. The pair looked like a match made in heaven.

Since the banquet had yet to start, they only saw busy employees working in the front yard. Nonetheless, she was warmly received by the butler, who led the way for her humbly. "Madam Gould has asked me to wait for you here. Please follow me upstairs."

Nicole nodded and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you."

Zachary followed the flow and accompanied her upstairs in silence. However, the butler's gaze fell lightly on Zachary the moment they arrived upstairs as if he was signaling something.

Of course, Zachary understood the butler's silent implication. So, he let Nicole go and looked at her with a gentle smile. "I'll wait for you here."

She nodded and walked into the room while lifting her skirt slightly, careful not to trip over her dress. Nonetheless, she was curious about what Siobhan had to say; everything seemed so mysterious. She didn't feel as though this was just a mere thank you at this point, but she had to admit, she was intrigued and anxious.

She first noticed the room's warm brown tone when she walked into the room. A woman wearing a long dress was sitting in a wheelchair. Nicole guessed that the woman was Siobhan through her figure.

She paused for a beat before greeting, "Hello, Madam Gould."

The woman slowly turned her head when she heard someone addressing her, and her gaze fell on Nicole.

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding; they even wore the same-colored dress. Siobhan smiled faintly when she noticed the similarity and gestured at the stool in front of her. "Please have a seat. Although I have almost recovered, my leg muscles and bones have not yet healed. It will take at least three months before I can walk around without aid."

Nicole walked to the stool in a poised manner and sat on it with her back ramrod straight, betraying her nervousness. She looked at Siobhan's face and could not help thinking how alike their features were. This made her feel a little dazed.

Siobhan also wore light makeup. Perhaps it was because of the warm-colored long dress or the injury as Nicole found that Siobhan no longer exuded the strong, unwavering aura like before. Instead, she looked gentler and more approachable today.

"You can tell me whatever is on your mind, Madam Gould." Nicole was waiting for Siobhan to start.

Siobhan looked at Nicole gently with a smile on her face. Then, after a while, she asked, "I heard your mother passed away. Is that right?"

Nicole was taken aback by the personal and unexpected question. Her eyelids twitched unconsciously, and the palms on her knees began to curl. It was only after some time that she finally mustered up her energy to answer, "Yes."
