Chapter 7 You’re Going to Marry Joseph’s Father!
The weather was cool in mid-January, with the rain drizzling endlessly outside.
Nicole’s eyes dimmed a little when they darted upon the date. Today was January 18—her mother’s death anniversary.
Nicole had wanted to take Hayden to visit her mother today, but the weather was really bad, so she decided to only do so after the weather had gotten better.
The graveyard was desolate with few people. Holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a black umbrella in the other, Nicole slowly walked up to her mother’s grave. To her surprise, there was already a man and a woman standing before the grave. The woman was Queenie, whereas the man was William Anderson—her so-called father.
William’s wrinkled face had a touch of emotion to it. “It’s been a while since we last saw each other, Nicole. I heard from Queenie that you’re back, so I came here to wait for you, thinking that you’d be coming here.”
When he heard from Queenie that Nicole had come back, he had been somewhat skeptical. After some mental calculations, he realized that Nicole’s mother’s death anniversary was around the corner. Since Nicole was very attached to her mother, she would definitely come here to visit her mother’s grave.
Therefore, he came here early in the morning to wait for Nicole, and here she was, coming just as expected.
