Chapter 1600 Yannick Is A Better Choice


    Nichs stepped outside and got into the car.


    Jocelyn was also in the car. Puzzled, she asked, "Mr. Nichs, howe you''re back so soon?"


    Nichs'' n had been to meet with Elena to discuss a potential coboration with the Griffiths family.


    Nichs pinched the bridge of his nose. "There''s no need to talk to her. She''s always favored my older brother. It''d be better to reach out to Mr. ine instead"


    Jocelyn didn''t argue. "Okay."


    In her memory, Elena had treated Nichs just as well as Nathaniel. She couldn''t understand why he held such a misconception. Without furtherment, she instructed the driver to head toward the Griffiths residence. ine was known for his peculiar temperament and ruthless nature. Whether he would agree to coborate with Nichs remained uncertain.


    Nichs, however, was in no rush-he held leverage over ine.


    With his eyes closed, he tried to rest, but sleep evaded him. His thoughts were consumed by images of Cecilia and her family.


    That blissful, harmonious life should have been his.


    But now, it belonged to Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel has everything. Why does he have to steal my woman?


    He clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white.


    At that moment, Jocelyn''s phone began to ring. Seeing that Nichs had his eyes closed, she chose not to answer. Yet, the phone persisted, ringing again momentster.


    Without opening his eyes, Nichs said casually, "It''s fine. Go ahead and take it."


    "All right." Only then did Jocelyn pick up the call.


    "What''s the matter, Grandma?"


    "Yannick knows he was wrong, Jocelyn," the olddy''s voice carried a feigned severity. "You''re not getting any younger. You can''t keep throwing tantrums like a child. It''s time to take him back." Jocelyn felt drained and impatient. "Grandma, he and really aren''t a good match. Please, stop trying to set us up."


    "Every time, it''s the same excuse." The olddy''s tone grew more anxious. "Then tell me, who is a good match for you? I''ll pursue them on your behalf!"


    In their circles, Jocelyn''s current age was considered well past the prime for marriage. The gossip never stopped-whispers about how she remained single despite her background.

    Finished


    everyone.


    Jocelyn fell silent, unsure how to respond. She didn''t know who she''d be trulypatible with-nor did she fully understand whatpatibility even meant.


    "Just don''t worry about it," Jocelyn said.


    "Is it your boss?" the olddy suddenly asked.


    For a moment, Jocelyn was stunned, forgetting to reply


    The elderlydy didn''t hear a response from her granddaughter, and instantly understood what it meant. "Is it really him? I know that he''s married. You foolish girl, a man like him is simply not worthy of you."


    Jocelyn quickly lowered the volume on her phone and turned her gaze toward Nichs. His eyes remained closed, his face devoid of any expression-seemingly asleep. He probably hadn''t heard a thing. At least, that was what she told herself.


    What she didn''t realize was that Nichs had heard every word.


    The sound from her phone wasn''t as quiet as she thought. Even without the speaker on, he could hear it clearly in the silence of the car, especially given their close proximity.


    But Nichs chose to act otherwise. He kept his eyes shut, maintaining the illusion of sleep. He didn''t want to risk unsettling the delicate bnce between them-not yet.


    "Grandma, stop talking nonsense, I''m hanging up now. Jocelyn ended the call immediately.


    Her heart pounded in her chest, and she couldn''t help but call out to Nichs, "Mr. Nichs."


    Nichs did not respond.


    Only then did Jocelyn rx.


    Before long, another message from her grandmother popped up on Jocelyn''s phone: Jocelyn, don''t make the wrong choice. I don''t think Nichs is up to any good. Yannick is a better choice. He may be clumsy with his words, but he has a good heart. At your age, it''s time you find someone to marry. The longer you keep avoiding it, the harder it''ll be -and I won''t be able to rest in peace! I worry about you, living all alone. Just tell me what you''re looking for, and I''ll help you find it. The messages kepting, one after another, relentless and full of concern.
