My Wife is a Hacker

"You really need to rest. You shouldn't work for the next few days. Stay home and rest. A bride has to look her best," Gloria said, looking at Nicole and making the decision for her.

"Bride!" Nicole was surprised because she hadn't talked about any wedding yet.

"Yes, now that everything is settled, it's time for your wedding with Jared," Gloria said, deciding firmly. She used to think it was best for the kids to decide for themselves, but after several delays, she felt waiting longer made no sense. The wedding should happen soon.

"I was thinking that too," Jared said. They had planned the wedding after solving the Everett problem, but then they found out Lawrence had hurt Nicole in the past, causing more delays. Now, with everything sorted out, they saw no reason to wait. The wedding was the next big step.

Nicole looked at Jared and, with a smile, agreed, "Okay." Their wedding had been waiting for five years; it was time, with no need to wait any longer.

"That's so cool, I'm the flower girl and Nolan is the page boy!" Lana said, full of excitement.

"When should we set the date?" Tia asked, thinking they might need some time to get ready.

"In a week," Jared said, looking at Nicole for her reaction.

Gloria was unsure. "As much as I want it soon, can we really get ready in just a week?" "Don't worry, it's all set up already," Jared assured her. They had everything for the wedding ready a long time ago, just waiting for the right moment.

"Now, is there anything else we should do or add?" Stanley wondered if there was any way they could contribute.

"There's nothing more to do," Jared assured him.

Stanley paused then said, "Right, you have been planning for so long, everything must be ready." "There's definitely many things to do." Nicole thought for a moment, then said, "We're going to need everyone's help to welcome the guests." All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

She pictured the wedding day as being bustling with activity, hosting a large number of guests. There would be close friends of both the Riddle and Johnston families, along with their business partners. The number of attendees would indeed be substantial.

"We all need to help with hosting; we can't overlook anyone," she added.

"Don't worry, your uncles will be there too," Daniel said, then looked at Stanley, "And you guys will help with Nicole's friends."

Since Nicole couldn't greet the guests herself at the start of the wedding, it was key that everyone felt welcomed.

"Got it, I'll tell Samuel and Spencer," Stanley agreed.

"Jane hasn't been feeling well, and Sean is taking care of her. Steve is busy with Sally and the kids, so it's really up to you guys," Gloria reminded them. The older generation had their hands full too, with their own guests to entertain.

Nicole frowned and asked, "What's happening with Jane?" "She's been feeling sick and can't eat much. Sean took her to the hospital today. We haven't heard the results yet," Gloria said, then added, "We're all guessing it might be because she's pregnant." "Really?" Nicole was surprised and happy at the thought.

"Yes, I'm going to visit them tomorrow to find out more," Gloria said.

"Good idea. It's always better to talk in person," Nicole agreed.

As they talked, it was suddenly dinner time. After eating, Gloria suggested Nicole should go to bed.

Nicole tucked Nolan and Lana in, then she and Jared went to their room. In bed, Nicole said, "There's no place like your own bed."

Jared teased, "You might need to adjust to something new soon."

Nicole was confused. "Adjust to what?"
