My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 536

Nicole glanced at Carl and said casually, "This is my friend; he'll be staying over for a day."

Carl flashed a genuine smile at them. When they all saw how his emerald eyes seemingly sparkled with charm, they could not help but suspect him of having impure intentions toward Nicole.

All of a sudden, all of them were looking at him cautiously.

On the other hand, Nicole seemed to have understood the look in her brothers' and grandfather's eyes; she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"We're just good friends. He came all the way from Mecrounia to meet me. I can't possibly ask him to find a place outside, right?"

Both Sean and Steve calmly observed Carl.

Meanwhile, Mr. Riddle Sr. coughed lightly and said in a kind voice, "A friend of Nicole is a guest of the Riddle family. Daniel, bring our guest to his room."

Daniel nodded. He then smiled at Carl and introduced himself.

When Carl learned that he was Nicole's father, his gaze was instantly filled with respect. The two of them then walked into the house while chatting away.

After Nicole was sure that the two had left, then only did she turn around to look at them. She lifted a brow and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Sean and Steve looked at each other before saying slowly, "The bidding for the land was this afternoon; we won."

Sean had a meaningful look in his eyes when he noticed Nicole's calm demeanor. He thought of the phone call Sebastian had with his son.

'He mentioned something about someone from the Riddle family being Hustuaburg's top gemstone appraiser. This person surely played a big part in their win today,' Sean thought.

Steve was also catching on to something. He proceeded to look at Nicole with slight surprise.

"Sean, is Nicole that person?"
