NovelEnglishDaniel said aptly, "Despite our relationship with the Johnston family, we still have to do things on our own merits. We must never put Nicole on the spot and make outsiders think we are only successful because of the marriage between Nicole and Jared.” "Your dad is right.You all have to keep that in mind.I'm afraid that more people will scrutinize us from now on.You all should be more careful with your conduct outside,” Gloria said with concern.
"We will, and we will never cause Nicole difficulty.” Sean looked at his parents, then at Nicole.
Something came to mind and Stanley asked, "Mom, Dad, since Nicole is getting engaged, don't we need to make preparations?” “Right, right. was too happy and forgot such an important thing." Gloria laughed and ridiculed herself.
“What do you like, Nicole? | will prepare it for you."
Gloria looked at Nicole with a smile.
“Yeah, whatever you like, just say it." Daniel chimed in.

Daniel nodded.
“Jared is a promising young man and has gotten everyone prepared, but we in the Riddle family still need to do something. We can't let others look down upon us.” “Since it's your day off, why don't you follow your mom to go shopping?” Daniel spoke gently, with a hint of unquestionable authority.
“Okay, then.” Nicole could only agree to make her parents feel better when she saw their eagerness of wanting to do something for her.
Samuel interjected.
“Mom, | would like to buy a gift for Nicole, too.Can | tag along?" Gloria glanced at him.
“Okay.” "Me too,” Spencer said when he saw Samuel had succeeded.
Gloria was puzzled when Spencer also wanted to follow.
“I thought you hate shopping? What makes you so different today?" “Because things are different now.| would like to get a gift for Nicole's engagement.” Just then, Stanley received a message.
“Something is going on in the student union.'m afraid | can't join you all.” “It's all right.'l leave you to it. know there are a lot more things to do on
this year's sports day. Especially after | proposed the award program.” Nicole knew that as the president of the student union, he needed to keep an eye on many things.
“We're not going either, but we will definitely prepare something for Nicole's engagement.” Both Sean and Steve also needed to leave because of work.
“Look how much your brothers love you, Nicole.” Gloria looked at them and was touched by how much everyone loved Nicole.
“Let's go." Gloria took the three of them and drove toward the mall.

“Okay.” Nicole was not interested in clothes and accessories.She would just follow Gloria wherever she went.
Gloria took Nicole around, going from one jewelry shop to another.
When she saw something she liked, she would ask the service staff to take it out and let Nicole try it out.
“Mom, why don't we find a place to sit down and take a rest before we continue?” Nicole had been shopping around with Gloria for quite a while.She noticed that her mother had slowed down, probably from exhaustion.
“I'm not tired.This is the branded stuff section. Why don't we go inside to take a look?” Gloria said.
Nicole sighed and followed her.
“What do you think of this necklace?” Gloria pointed to the necklace in the display case.
“There are too many things going on in this necklace.” Nicole had never liked the overly orate staff, let alone necklaces.
She usually wore simple necklaces for decoration while attending events and would take them off immediately afterward.
