Chapter 87 – An Engagement Gift
After tasting the spicy soup, Lily took Nicole to walk down the stairs.
The school’s commercial shops also gave various benefits and concessions about Christmas.
“Tomorrow is Christmas. The lucky year, how are you going to spend it? How about we go have a hot pot?” Lily was planning beside her.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Nicole was distracted. To be exact, tomorrow was a safe night, and it was also Kevin’s engagement day.
She was still a little confused.
“Nicole, Nicole…” Lily shook her a few times.
Nicole comes to her senses and smiles at Lily. “Oh, I’m just thinking which hot pot restaurant I should go to.”
The second one that he went to with James was not bad. It was in the city center and was close to the school. It was a good choice.
In fact, it was quite lively tomorrow night. When her husband got engaged, she went to the party with her friends.
Lily nodded immediately. “Yes, after Christmas, it’s time for us to go for an internship. After the New Year, in fact, it’s almost the same as graduation.”
Yes, time flew. In the blink of an eye, four years of time slipped away in the blink of an eye.
Although she tried her best to graduate as soon as possible and escape from her previous life, Nicole was still full of sadness when she thought that she would be separated from her friends Lily.
Following Lily to circle around twice, she suddenly received a text message from her cell phone. As soon as she took it out, she saw the message from Kevin, “Why haven’t you come back yet?”
Did she still need to go back? Nicole thought he was too cunning to come back for dinner, so he probably wouldn’t go back to sleep. As a result, he still sent a message.
“Nicole, what are you thinking about? You’re so absorbed in your thoughts.” Lily noticed that Nicole was distracted again. She could not help but be suspicious. “What’s wrong with you lately? You’ve always been absent-minded.”
“It’s okay,” Nicole said, “I have to go back.”
“Go back to your family?”
“Well, my father is not feeling well. I’ll go back and have a look.” Nicole finally came up with such a lame excuse.
Obviously, Lily had something to say, but she held it back in the end.
After all, respecting the old and loving the young was the traditional virtue of China. “James, call me if you have something to do?”
“Got it.” Nicole went back to the dormitory to get the bag. Before leaving, she deliberately put the cashmere scarf into the bag.
She took a taxi to the Gold Villa by herself.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Kevin sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. Obviously, he was waiting for someone. His thin cold lips were tightly closed, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
Nicole remained calm and said while changing her shoes, “I thought you wouldn’t come back tonight.”
“So, you also follow your example and do whatever you want?” His tone was cold, like the weather outside wrapped in snowflakes.
Nicole grinned and said, “No, it’s so cold now. I just think that it’s impossible to sleep alone in such a big bed alone in an empty room, so I want to stay in the school. Look at your text message and I’ll come over here obediently.”
Kevin couldn’t find a rebuttal for a moment.
Nicole silently made a V in her heart and walked over with a smile. Kevin stared at the bag beside her and said bulgingly, “What’s in it?”
“Oh, this one.” Nicole opened the bag, took out an exquisitely packed box from it, and handed it to him. “It’s an engagement gift for you. It’s a happy engagement.”
Kevin really wanted to slap her to death. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, “An engagement gift?”
“Well, this is just tomorrow. I don’t know what to give you. By the way, I don’t have any money. This gift was also bought with your card. You won’t blame me, will you? Why don’t you open it first and see if you like it or not?”
Sitting on the sofa beside him, Nicole smiled sincerely.
There was a special nickname of the men’s clothing shop on the box. Kevin looked very familiar.
He slightly raised his eyebrows, took it and opened it. It was a black and white grid cashmere scarf.
He remembered that the shop assistant said that there was a scarf matching the suit that day, but it was bought by someone. Was this the so-called coincidence?
Seeing that he was thinking about something in front of the scarf, Nicole put the hair scattered on her chest behind her head and said, “You’re right. It’s the same as your suit. Tomorrow, you will wear that suit and this scarf to attend the engagement banquet. You’ll be really cool.”
Kevin’s eyes fell on her face from the scarf. “You bought this scarf the day before, and what are you doing there the next day?” Kevin also saw her turn around and leave. Kevin was unusually sensitive and soon smelled something unusual.
Nicole blinked her eyes and chuckled. “I said I’m going to buy that set of clothes for you. Do you believe it?”
Kevin fixed his eyes on her. Under his aggressive gaze, Nicole felt that all her thoughts were in vain.
She became more and more guilty. “I-I’ll go to the kitchen to have a glass of water.” She ran away.
Kevin lowered his head and looked at the scarf again. Finally, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
When Nicole came out of the kitchen with a glass of water, she sat on the sofa.
Kevin said to her calmly, “Go with me tomorrow night.”
“Puff- ” She spat out a mouthful of water that she had just drunk. Then, she coughed fiercely.
In the end, his face turned red with coughing, and she could barely hold it back. Kevin looked at her disgustedly, while Nicole looked at him with horror in her eyes. “What am I going to do?”
“I’m going to kick the gym and smash the venue.” Kevin seriously said.
Nicole staggered and almost fell down. She stared at Kevin with astonishment in her eyes, as if to say, “Kevin, you won’t make me happy, will you?”
Kevin stood up and went back to her room. “You didn’t hear me wrongly. Close your mouth and the flies will run in.”
“Oh, no… no way,” Nicole said. “Mister George, we’ve made a deal not to expose it to the public. If I go with you, I’ll be recognized by others.” At the thought of that possibility, Nicole felt bad all over.
“Don’t you want others to know about our relationship?”
Nicole shook her head like a rattle-drum. She didn’t want to. Even if she was given one million dollars, she didn’t want anyone to know about their relationship.
Kevin’s eyes were suddenly cold. Nicole was emotional and reasonable. “In fact, this is for your own good. It doesn’t matter if you are engaged to someone at all. I won’t make trouble for you. You can be your bridegroom. If you really want to play a trick, tell me, I will never hinder you.” She blinked her eyes and looked at him sincerely.
Kevin sneered and said, “Nicole, I really didn’t see your eloquence. It’s a pity for you to be a matchmaker.”
“It’s okay. I’m just thinking of you. I don’t want you to be impulsive and ruin a happy marriage. Besides, it’s just an engagement. It’s not a marriage. You won’t be charged with a heavy wedding. The best thing is that many men ask for it.”
“I’m not one of those men.” Kevin cut off Nicole’s words angrily. “You have to go if you want to go tomorrow. You have to go if you don’t want to.”
The hammer made the final sound. Nicole was lying on the bed, and she wished she could die like this.
The engagement of Kevin became a hot topic all of a sudden and caused a stir throughout the whole process.
All the well-known figures in Y City would be present.
“Your sister will go, and James will go too.” On such an important occasion, the sister and brother of the Garcia Family would definitely appear.
Thinking that once she appeared, her identity would be exposed, Nicole hoped that tomorrow’s day would never be bright. But she had to do what she had to do.
There was no way to avoid it. If she stretched out her head, it would be a knife and if she shrank her head, it would be a knife.
In the morning, Kevin went to work at the company.
In the afternoon, he found Nicole and took her to a jewelry store. The brilliant diamond and the golden instrument were mixed together, giving off a noble light.
He walked to the diamond counter, but Nicole stood at the door with a reluctant look on her face. When he turned her head, Nicole roared crazily in her heart, “Oh my, tsk!”
At this time, on the road outside, there were merchants who used clowns to send balloons to recruit customers on the road. The clown’s face was painted full of colorful rapeseed, and no one could see what it really was.
Kevin urged her, “Why are you still standing there? Come here quickly.”
Nicole’s heart sank, and a crazy idea came to her mind. She walked quickly to Kevinand asked, “Are you sure you want to take me there?”
Kevin didn’t know what was wrong with this woman. Just now, she still looked reluctant, but now she was in a hurry.
“Yes.”
