A few minutes later, Jared brought Nicole to the front door of the Riddle residence, Then, he rang the doorbell without giving Nicole any time to react.

Niki was shocked as she widened her eyes. "What are you doing? I didn't say I wanted to go inside!"

She figured that it would be inappropriate for her to show up uninvited at the home of the people she did not know anymore.

"But they've been thinking about you every day." Jared argued.

He had tried to delay this meeting for three days now, thinking that Nicole would have more time to prepare herself mentally. However, he and the Riddles had been dying to see her for the longest time.

Niki widened her eyes, not knowing what he was talking about.

All of a sudden, a butler with a headful of white hair came outside, and as soon as he saw Nicole, he stood there, rooted in disbelief.

The butler was shocked to see Nicole as he quickly opened the door and rubbed his eyes, afraid that he was just hallucinating. "M-Miss Nicole? Is that you? Is that really you?!"

"I..."

Niki did not know what to say, but she felt a sense of familiarity and comfort the moment she caught sight of the butler's face.
