The voices inside seemed to fall silent for a moment.
Those gazes were surprised, appreciative, and amazed.
Nicole swept a glance and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. She finally looked at a majestic-looking old man.
She smiled. "Hello, Uncle Leonard."
Old Master Leonard seemed to be stunned for a moment. He then smiled and greeted her.
"Nicole, come here quickly. I've attended your first birthday party, and now look at you! In a blink of an eye, you're such a big girl now..."
Nicole smiled and politely walked over.
It was not important whether Old Master Leonard really attended Nicole’s first birthday party. What was more important was that his attitude was still respectable.
Nicole ignored the equally surprised Keith Ludwig on the side, walked over modestly, and smiled.
"Uncle Leonard, I’ve wanted to come over to visit you for a long time, but I only show up now. Please don't blame me for being rude."
Old Master Leonard laughed. He looked like he had seen all sorts of worldly affairs.
"You youngsters... If you didn’t have any trouble, why would you come over to an old man like me?"
Old Master Leonard pointed to the rest of the people around him. "Look, do you know these people?"
He slapped his forehead. "I forgot to introduce you guys..."
Keith stood up, looking frivolous as he walked over and stood behind Old Master Leonard. He squeezed the Old Master on the shoulder.
He smiled as he spoke.
"Granduncle, don’t bother. Who doesn't know Nicole? Ms. Stanton’s famous, pretty, and capable. She’s so presentable and such a catch, isn't she?"
Keith looked at Nicole with a smile, looking like he was seeking praise.
Nicole did not even look at him and only smiled at Old Master Leonard. "We’re all in the same circle and have met a few times, so an introduction is not necessary."
Keith was speechless.
Nicole was surprised at the way Keith addressed Old Master Leonard - granduncle?
This relationship was quite complicated.
Old Master Leonard laughed loudly and looked at Keith.
