Chapter 871 I&##x27;m Not As Upright As You Think

"Mommy, do you feel bad?"

Lucas looked at Nicole's sad expression. He was so cute that Nicole was deeply touched.

"No, I'm fine. I still have you, Joseph and Zoe. I won't have any worries as long as I see you."

Nicole scooped Lucas up.

Lucas struggled for a moment.

"Mommy, I've gained much weight. Don't scoop me up since you are not well now."

"Oh my dear. No matter when, you are always my dear son. Let me just hug you for a while. It has
been a long time since I hugged you like this."

Nicole let Lucas sit on her thigh, and she looked peaceful and gentle because of her son.

For her, she couldn't stand the fact that her son had been away from her for too long. So how could she
criticize Mr. and Mrs. Bush for looking for their daughter? Although Melissa was quite annoying, she
thought she could endure that for the sake of Mr. and Mrs. Bush.

Nicole kept comforting herself, so that she could feel a little better.

When Wendy came up, Nicole was still talking to Lucas.

"Mrs. Green, Mr. and Mrs. Bush are leaving. Do you want to say a few words to them?"

Nicole was slightly stunned.

"Alright, I'll go down now."



She put Lucas on the bed and whispered, "You stay here by yourself. I'm going to bid farewell to
grandpa and grandma."

"I wanna go with you."

Lucas was about to stand up as he spoke, but he was stopped by Nicole.

"No need. They are grandparents, not bad people. They won't hurt me. Don't worry."

"I'm worried that Melissa would do something to you."

Lucas frowned tightly.

Nicole stretched out to touch his nose. She smiled and said, "Watch your language. You should call her
aunt."

"Well, she doesn't deserve it."

Lucas was very stubborn and Nicole did not force him. She stood up, adjusted her clothes, and then
walked out.

When Melissa saw Nicole come out, she said with disdain, "You're really a daughter from a noble
family, coming out only when mom and dad are about to leave. You haven't sat down and chatted with
your parents. But they still treat you as a treasure."

"Alright, enough."

Ms. Bush stopped Melissa, and then smiled at Nicole. "Nicole, we'll just go back. I'll deliver Melissa's
stuff here tomorrow."

"Mommy, why did you do this? Those clothes are old. Just ask her to buy me some new ones."



Melissa just took it for granted.

Nicole narrowed her eyes and didn't say anything.

Ms. Bush and Dad Bush knew Nicole's temperament. They hurriedly said, "Then I'll leave it to you,
Nicole. Here's the money if you need."

As Ms. Bush spoke, she took out a bank card and Melissa snatched it.

"She is now Mrs. Green. Are you afraid that she lacks money? I'll take this card. I also want to go to the
beauty salon recently."

"Melissa!"

Ms. Bush was a little dejected and looked at Melissa, but Melissa didn't care about that.

Nicole crossed her arms and said, "Mom, Dad, I think you'd better take her with you. I don't need a
hostess here. My own children have never behaved like this. She's so rude and does know any rules
here. I don't know what outsiders will talk about this family if they know she's here."

"Nicole, what do you mean? You have to understand that your name is given by my parents. My
parents! Understand? I just want you to buy me clothes. What's wrong with that? Why are you gabbling
nonsense? I'm telling you that from now on, you'd better do as I say. Otherwise...."

"So what?"

Nicole looked at Melissa, who was behaving like a mad person, and she felt extremely disgusting. If it
weren't for the fact that her parents were still here, she wouldn't have talked to Melissa.

Melissa, however, did not give up and kept shouting, "What? You bitch!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand and wanted to slap Nicole.



"Melissa!"

Ms. Bush was so scared. She wanted to stop Melissa, but it was too late.

Melissa was about to slap Nicole's face. Nicole narrowed her eyes. Then she suddenly raised her hand
and grabbed Melissa's wrist tightly.

"Oh my hand, my hand! Let go. Mom!"

Melissa screamed.

Ms. Bush felt worried about her.

"Nicole, Melissa has been living alone all these years. No one has ever told her about how to be polite,
so she has no sense of what to say or do. Don't be so strict to her."

"That's good. She should learn to be polite during this period of time. Since she wants to be Miss Bush,
she should learn the basic etiquette."

Nicole directly threw Melissa onto the sofa. Her gaze was cold.

Ms. Bush suddenly regretted it.

"What about bringing Melissa back?"

"Don't you want me to get her a room? Or do you think I will hurt her? If she goes back to the Bush
family like this, can you handle the trouble she brings to you? At that time, you still need me to handle
it. Since that's the case, I'll let her study the rules and learn to be polite from now on. Mom, do you
remember you once told me that as a Bush, we needed to learn about the etiquette? Is that the same
to her? "



Ms. Bush didn't know how to answer Nicole's question. She still wanted to say something, but was
stopped by Dad Bush.

"Nicole is right. We are too indulgent with Melissa. It's good for her to learn something here."

After Dad Bush finished speaking, he and Ms. Bush were about to leave.

Melissa shouted angrily, "Are you going to leave like this? You've already leave me alone once, and
you still want to do that again? You are not worthy of being parents at all. You bastards! You...."

Suddenly, Nicole slapped Melissa. The sound dumbfounded Melissa and Mr. and Mrs. Bush.

"You dare to hit me?"

Melissa rushed towards Nicole like crazy.

After all, Nicole was trained. When Melissa rushed over, she grabbed her hand and threw her directly
onto the sofa again. Although Melissa was pressed tightly, Nicole didn't mean to injure her.

"Look at you. You are so vulgar. You aren't worthy of talking to me. If Mom and dad are bastards, then
what are you?"

Nicole's words stopped Ms. Bush. And there was a trace of blame in Nicole's eyes.

Ms. Bush's indulgence towards Melissa was far beyond Nicole's imagination, which made her
uncomfortable. But she still said, "Mom, Dad, I'll let Ernesto see you off."

"No need. We can leave on our own."

Ms. Bush left angrily.

Nicole's heart twitched.



"Alas."

Dad Bush also sighed and walked out.

Nicole knew that they must be disappointed in her, but she didn't do anything wrong. This was her
home, so she couldn't allow Melissa to do whatever she wanted here.

Because Nicole was brought up by Mr. and Mrs. Bush, they just took advantage of this and brought
Melissa here without telling Nicole. And they wanted Nicole to get Melissa a room. But Nicole knew that
her parents wanted her to get Melissa into the upper class. They thought that since they had brought
her up, she should repay them like this.

Nicole actually didn't like this at all.

Being used by her parents was really disgusting.

Seeing her parents leave, Melissa hurriedly jumped up and pointed at Nicole's nose. She cursed, "I'm
telling you. You owe me and you owe our family. It's your honor that I live here. I'm giving you a chance
to repay your parents. Don't be so ungrateful. Otherwise, I'll expose everything here online."

"Haven't you learned a lesson yet? Or are you saying that you still want me to hit you?"

Nicole said indifferently, which scared Melissa. She took a few steps back.

"Girls from noble family never hit others. You're so hypocritical."

"I'm not as upright as you think, so you'd better not provoke me. Choose one of the rooms here and live
there. But remember one rule. If you don't come back before nine o'clock in the evening, you just sleep
outside wherever you like."

After that, Nicole turned around and returned to her bedroom.



What happened just now made her depressed, and she didn't want to do anything now.

Lucas made her a cup of rose tea, which made her relieved a little.

"Mommy, take a rest first."

Lucas was worried about Nicole, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

Nicole smiled and said, "I'm fine. I will cook something for you later. You can take it to the military
tomorrow."

"There's no need. Those kids can eat everything that I bring to them. Mommy, don't do that. I'll go back
to my room and I'll talk to Samuel when he comes back. Mommy, you just take a rest."

"Alright."

Since Lucas was so sensible, Nicole did not insist.

Lucas went back to his room. Nicole couldn't sleep because of Mr. and Mrs. Bush. She took out the
notebook and wanted to draw a design, but she couldn't find it. Only then did she recalled that the
notebook was brought to Edwin's house.

She had no choice but to take out some pieces of plain paper and draw the blueprint with a pencil.

However, after drawing for a long time, she felt that something was wrong.

Nicole threw the paper on the floor, and continued to draw.

Suddenly, loud rock music rang out downstairs, which startled Nicole.

"What's going on?"



She got up and walked out of the bedroom. She saw Melissa listening to music with a loudspeaker box.
The music was so loud that the room was almost shaking.

Nicole's face darkened.

"Melissa!"

She shouted, but Melissa could not hear her at all. Or she just pretended not to hear her. She sang and
danced in the living room.

The designing ideas in Nicole's mind instantly disappeared because of the noise.

Melissa's performance made her hardly control her anger.

She went downstairs and turned off the music. Then she pulled the headphones out of Melissa's ears
and threw them out.

"What are you doing?"

Melissa was very angry.

Nicole said coldly, "If you disturb us with your loud music again, I'll lock you up in the basement."

"How dare you!

"You can try."

Nicole's cold gaze frightened Melissa.

She suddenly realized that Nicole wasn't as weak as her mother said.

She got up and walked out of the bedroom. She saw Melissa listening to music with a loudspeaker box.
The music was so loud that the room was almost shaking.

Nicole's face darkened.
"Melissal"

She shouted, but Melissa could not hear her at all. Or she just pretended not to hear her. She sang and
danced in the living room.

The designing ideas in Nicole's mind instantly disappeared because of the noise.
Melissa's performance made her hardly control her anger.

She went downstairs and turned off the music. Then she pulled the headphones out of Melissa's ears
and threw them out.

"What are you doing?"

Melissa was very angry.

Nicole said coldly, "If you disturb us with your loud music again, I'll lock you up in the basement."
"How dare you!

"You can try."

Nicole's cold gaze frightened Melissa.

She suddenly realized that Nicole wasn't as weak as her mother said.
