Chapter 367 You&##x27;ve Got to Be Happy

"Come on in!"

Nicole said indifferently.

This was the first time she let in a Don.

Audrey was obviously flattered.

Samuel didn't stop Nicole. Instead, he opened the gate and let Audrey in.

Nicole's parents might stay at the Green's with the children last night, and they had not come back yet.
Olivia and Jacob went out as well, so they were alone in the big house.

"Are you hungry? Would you like me to make you a bowl of noodles?"

Nicole asked in a low voice.

"I'll do that."

Knowing that Audrey definitely had a lot to say to Nicole, Samuel took off his jacket and went to the
kitchen.

Noticing that Samuel treated Nicole very well, Audrey whispered, "It's a blessing to be able to find such
a husband."

"Yes, he treats me very well. I am contented."

Nicole's eyes glinted with affection at the mention of Samuel.

"I watched the live broadcast yesterday. I feel gratified that he proposed to you in front of everyone in
the Seapolis City, and the Green family gave you great support."



From her words, Nicole knew that she had become a celebrity in the Seapolis City yesterday.

"Samuel caught me off guard. I was unprepared."

"He likes you. I'm relieved that such a man loves you so much."

Audrey took out a key from her pocket and handed it to Nicole.

"I don't have anything to give you. This is the key to the studio I usually stay. I know you like drawing,
so I give it to you."

"Thank you."

Nicole took it.

Although they were mother and daughter, they hadn't been together for many years, so the affection
between them lessened.

Now that they were able to sit together and talk peacefully, Nicole felt it was good.

"The Don family..."

"Let's not talk about them."

Audrey interrupted Shen Mange directly, who let out a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Audrey would come to lobby for the Don family. In that case, she might not be able
to maintain such a good mood.

"Thank you."



"Nicole, I didn't stay with you and guard you, nor did I watch you grow up. This is the biggest regret in
my life. However, it was my own fault, and I can't blame anyone else. I don't blame you for not forgiving
me or not calling me Mom. I don't force you to go back to the Don's. I heard that Samuel helped you
get your ID card and you are applying for a passport. You can go wherever you want. Life is short, so
lead a good life and don't care about what others say. Understand?"

Her words surprised Nicole, who nodded.

"After dinner, can you accompany me to pay a visit to your father's grave?"

Audrey's eyes flickered with hope, but she said, "Of course, if you don't want to, forget it. I won't force
you."

"I'll go with you!"

Nicole knew that she should have visited Xander's grave, but she couldn't forgive Mrs. Don.

Audrey was extremely happy when Nicole agreed to go.

They talked about painting the next.

Obviously, Audrey was much more accomplished than Nicole in this field.

Nicole liked to get on with Audrey if she put the maternal affection and the Don family behind them.

They had a good chat.

When Samuel came out of the kitchen, he saw they chatting like friends without any difficulties.

"Come on, you two painters, noodles are ready."

Samuel served Audrey noodles.



"Do you want some?"

He looked at Nicole.

Nicole shook her head. "No, I'm full, but I can watch her eat."

Audrey smiled and did not say anything. She picked up her chopsticks and took a mouthful of noodles,
which she raved about.

"Delicious. It looks like my daughter won't be hungry from now on."

"I wouldn't starve her."

Samuel looked at Nicole, who smiled back. Their affection for each other was obvious.

"I will accompany Minister Shaw to visit my father's grave."

"I'll drive you."

"Alright."

Nicole was relieved that Samuel didn't object.

Audrey took in everything smilingly.

She ate elegantly due to her upbringing. It was a treat to look at her eat the noodles gracefully.

Nicole even had a feeling that if Audrey was born in ancient times, she would be a decent lady from a
noble family.

Audrey noticed Nicole's gaze, but she did not feel uneasy. Instead, she remained her elegance.



Nicole suddenly felt that it was a blessing to have such a mother. No matter what, Audrey gave birth to
her.

She wanted to call her mother, but she couldn't utter anything.

After Audrey finished the bowl of noodles, she looked around and asked, "Lucas and Zoe are not
here?"

"Yeah, they might have gone to their grandmother's."

Audrey was disappointed.

"The children are so big, and I haven't given them anything as a grandmother. I had a pair of golden
locks forged for them. Although they are a bit out of fashion, they are a token of my regard."

Audrey handed the golden lock to Nicole.

"No, thank you. You don't have to do this."

"For the children."

Audrey insisted, and Nicole had to give in.

She gave the golden locks to Samuel. She whispered to Audrey, "Mind your health. I know that you do
everything at the Don's. You want to do more for the old lady on behalf of my father, but you are not
young anymore. Don't do everything personally."

Nicole actually didn't want to say these words, but she pitied Audrey at the sight of her.

Tears welled up in Audrey's eyes, but she forced them back and said, "I know. Take good care of
yourself. It takes a long time to recover from the miscarriage. During this period of time, don't eat
anything cold or spicy. You'd better have light meals."



"I know."

Although Audrey had never looked after her, Nicole could tell she cared about her.

There were no mothers who didn't care about their children.

Nicole's heart softened again.

"I went shopping the other day and bought you a coat, but I have no chance to give it to you. Since
you're here today, I'll go get it. Wait a moment."

Nicole had bought this coat long ago, but she didn't have the chance to give it to Audrey. Now that they
got closer, she rose to her feet, heading to the bedroom.

Audrey was surprised.

"She bought it for me?"

She looked at Samuel, feeling everything was unreal.

Samuel smiled. "Nicole cares about you, but the Don family has hurt her too much."

"I know."

Audrey didn't talk about the Don family

Nicole returned with a cashmere coat, which was from the new collection of the year. The color and the
style suited Audrey very well.

Audrey became tearful.

Nicole had been a considerate child, but she was hurt by the Don family.



Audrey forced back her tears and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."

"Try it on. If it looks good, wear it to visit Dad together."

Audrey paused, and then she got excited.

She followed Nicole into the bedroom and changed into the coat.

The coat fitted her well, and she looked pretty in it.

Looking at Nicole smilingly stand behind her in the mirror, Audrey felt contented.

"Remember, you've got to be happy, understand?"

"Yeah, you too!"

Nicole held her shoulder and found that Audrey was skinny, not as good as she looked.

This woman had been troubled by love the whole life, and she even wasted most of her time for a man.
Nicole suddenly felt distressed.

"My father has passed away for so many years. If you meet anyone that suits you, you should consider
him. You have a long life ahead, and you will be lonely if you are alone."

Nicole did not intend to say these words, but she could not help but speak.

Audrey paused for a moment, and then bitterly said, "I can't forget your father at all. I had tried to forget
him and start a new life with someone else, but as you can see, I simply can't do it. Viola's father treats
me well and I am grateful to him, but gratitude is not love. In this life, I love only one man, who
unfortunately couldn't spend long time with me. Perhaps in the next life we could continue what we
have left in this life."



"Don't think about it. Let's go."

Nicole didn't know what to say about the relationship between Audrey and Xander.

Their love was pure at the beginning, but the relationship ended in a hurry. However, the love had
lingered for so many years.

Nicole had never experienced such a relationship before, but she pitied Audrey anyway.

Noticing that her daughter cared about her, Audrey felt warm. She smiled. "I'm fine, don't worry about
me."

"Okay."

They went downstairs, the wall between them disappearing.

Samuel had prepared for the visit. Seeing them come down, he smiled and said, "Let's go. I've
prepared everything."

"Alright!"

They left the house for the Martyrs' Cemetery.

Usually it was not allowed to freely enter the Martyrs' Cemetery, but they managed to do it on Samuel's
account.

Xander remained young in high spirit on the gravestone.

Audrey became tearful at the sight of Xander's photo.

"Xander, I've come to visit you with our daughter. This is the first time I've come to visit you in so many
years. Do you blame me?"



Audrey took out the flowers and placed them on the grave, and Nicole followed suit.

Nicole didn't have much affection for Xander, but she admired him for he had sacrificed his life for the
country. Besides, this man gave her life.

Nicole respectfully placed the flowers and bowed to the grave.

After everything was done, Audrey didn't intend to leave. She told Nicole, "You go back first. I want to
stay here with him and talk to him."

Shen Mange was worried, but she didn't think Audrey could do anything in the cemetery. She
whispered, "We'll be off. Go home early and give me a call when you get home."

"Alright!"

Audrey agreed, but her eyes never left Xander's gravestone.
