Nicole keenly caught the glimpse of determination in the man's eyes and suddenly realized that he was seizing her opportunity of her return and came to sound her out, and encouraged her to withdraw the marriage arrangement.
It seemed that he did not want this marriage either. Just that Mr Johnston Sr. refused , so he came to dissuade her fro. agreeing to this marriage.
Nicole frowned slightly. She did not like to be manipulated, and hated being used even more .
"The Johnston family is prominent in San joto, and Mr. Johnston, you are older than me . It is inappropriate for a little girl like me to cancel the marriage arrangement, and it is going to make the Johnston family look bad. "
Nicole called herself a little girl, but her composure did not look like an eighteen year old at all.
Jared looked sideways at Nicole but only met with her unfathomable eyes, his heart trembling inexplicably as if he had been seen through by this precious little girl.
That was interesting.
As Daniel and Gloria came out of their shock, Daniel said in a deep voice, "Nicole us right. It was Mr. Johnston Sr. who proposed the marriage arrangement. If Nicole were to back off from this engagement, it would upset Mr. Johnston Sr. "
Besides, the impact of cancelling the marriage would affect Nicole dearly, and they needed more time to think about it.
Even if Nicole really wanted to back off from the engagement, it should not be Nicole who brought this up. It would jeopardize the friendship between the two families if things were not handled properly.
But the marriage engagement between the two families had long been spread far and wide in San joto . If the Johnston family was to cancel the engagement, it was going to affect Nicole, too.
Seeing that the Riddle family was ib a predicament, Jared thought for a moment and said, "Since it is a matter of two families, whichever side proposes it will hurt the friendship of two families. So it is better for Nicole and I to go back to the Johnston family together and explain it to my grandfather. "
"Nicole what do you think ?" Daniel and Gloria were very optimistic about this marriage, but if Nicole was not into it they were not going to force it .
So what if it would affect her reputation? If their daughter chose not to get married, they were willing to support her for a lifetime.
"Sure. Set a time." Nicole had no objection .
As much as she disliked this pretentious guy, she was more opposed to losing her freedom , especially when she had just returned home. She had more important things to do .
This is it for today meet you next time 🫠😊
