Chapter 231 The Pink Diamond Necklace Has Arrived
In the afternoon, Triton’s assistant, Todd Freeman, arrived at the airport.
Nicole immediately took Whitney to book a hotel and pick him up.
Todd was a man in his thirties. He had short hair, a pair of black glasses, and was wearing casual clothes. When he came out, he dragged a pink suitcase with a calm expression. As expected from Triton’s assistant, he casually walked around with jewels worth hundreds of millions.
Then, Nicole took Todd to the hotel.
The both of them knew each other, as Nicole and Triton had cooperated several times.
“Mr. Freeman,” Nicole said politely. Although Todd was Triton’s assistant, he was older and behaved like a senior to Nicole, so she addressed him respectfully.
He squinted and smiled. As he was a little chubby, there was a gentle feeling to his smile.
“Nicole, long time no see.” Todd nodded.
Nicole smiled as her eyes were filled with joy. “I didn’t expect you to remember me.”
He nodded and said, “Well, the cooperation between you and Triton was excellent, so I have a great impression of you.”
Feeling flattered, she answered, “Thank you for your compliment.”
The trio sat down and asked the server to serve the food before talking about business.
“Mr. Freeman, where is the jewelry I rented from Triton?” Nicole raised her eyes and scanned Todd.
He nodded. “Yes, it’s with me.”
As he said that, he pulled out his suitcase and took a soft black leather bag. He reached out to open the bag and inside was the pink diamond necklace.
Compared with the person Queenie had brought over last time, Todd seemed easy-going and he was still calm with such a precious thing in his hand.
The pink diamond was dazzling as it reflected the light in the room.
Nicole had a smile in her eyes and said, “Thank you, Mr. Freeman.”
Todd kept the necklace away and stuffed it into the suitcase again. “You’re welcome. I am interested in seeing how your design will maximize its value.”
After they were done with the meal, they chatted for a while. Then, Nicole asked Whitney to book a hotel. They would visit the Gardner Residence tomorrow as Nicole wanted to tackle all the affairs together.
Todd nodded without objection.
…
The following day, Nicole pulled Hayden out of bed early in the morning.
Hayden was used to being comfortable at home, so he rarely woke up early this morning. He was so sleepy that his face was puffy and he could not open his eyes.
He stretched out his hand to rub his eyes. After finally opening his eyes, he looked at Nicole with a confused yet clear gaze. “Mom, what are we going to do?”
His voice was soft as he had just woken up. Coupled with his unique baby voice, it sounded rather cute.
“We’re going to Mr. Handsome’s house,” she said lightly.
Hearing Nicole’s words, an initially sleepy Hayden woke up almost instantly. His eyes widened as he looked at her in disbelief.
Then, he tugged on Nicole’s hand and asked, “Mom, are you finally going to marry Mr. Handsome?!”
She laughed at his words. Then, she reached out and patted his head gently. “Stop thinking that nonsense. Get up. Didn’t you say you wanted to visit Grandma? We’re going to visit her too.”
Truth was, Nicole was confused about why Hayden liked Anna. After returning home, the boy kept pleading with her to take him to visit Anna again.
As Nicole was afraid of rumors, she never took him there anymore.
When he heard that, he immediately became energized. He quickly got up and began to put on his clothes.
She glanced at her excited son, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. After the DNA paternity test is complete, we are no longer related to the Gardner Family.
