The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 586 Proving Himself

She had just returned from university lately and felt lonely living by herself. On top of that, she also missed Nico dearly.

After completing a self–study session at the university, Summer was passing by the Jenson residence when she heard the housekeepers talking about Cedrick’s return.

She figured that Nico would most probably be home too if Cedrick had made it back safely, so she came rushing over as quickly as she could.

It wasn’t until she arrived at Harrick Villa that she found out Cedrick was at the police station.

Gwendolyn and Cedrick exchanged glances before stepping aside and pointing in the direction behind them.

“There’s your Nico,” Gwendolyn said.

Not wanting to disturb the two lovebirds, Nico had deliberately kept a wide distance between them.

His tanned skin and dark green military outfit made it a little hard to spot him at night.

Summer was frozen when she saw him, and her eyes reddened almost instantly.

Nico touched his face and asked in confusion, “What’s with that expression? Did I become ugly or something?”

Summer ran up to him and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck as she sobbed, “Why did your skin, turn so dark? You must have suffered a great deal at the border lately! It hurts me just thinking about it!”

Nico’s heart softened the moment he heard that last sentence, and he just stood there rooted to the spot.

Ah, so Cedrick isn’t the only one who has someone waiting for him now… Man, this feels great…

Feeling touched at the thought of that, Nico knew his eyes had reddened as well.

Seeing as Nico was just standing there in silence, Gwendolyn reminded him, “Don’t you see that she’s crying? Hurry up and give her a hug! In fact, you should carry her home and comfort her! She has been missing you a lot over the past few days!”

“Understood,” Nico replied as though he had just received a task from Gwendolyn.

He then scooped Summer into his arms and said, “We’ll be heading back now.”

Cedrick and Gwendolyn nodded in unison.
