Reborn Heiress: Married To My Ex-Husband's Rival
Chapter 33 Help Me!

Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Help Me!

"Hey, let’s go." Nicole hurriedly told her daughter, grabbing her little hand as they made to exit the airport.

Dragging Hailey along, Nicole also held onto their luggage on the other and her big hand dangled around her shoulder.

"Oh my goodness," Jasmine screamed the moment she saw them, she had been leaning on her car, waiting for them.

"Aunty!!" Hailey let go of her mother’s hand as she ran forward to hug Jasmine who was also coming towards them in long strides.

Nicole laughed as she saw Hailey jump on Jasmine, both of them exchanging kisses.

"Why do I feel like I’ll be neglected and be made the third wheel??" Nicole taunted while laughing as she came nearer.

Jasmine grinned from ear to ear as she stood up to face her best friend who had been out of LA for a long time.

"Oh dear, you’re finally back." Jasmine pulled Nicole in for a hug, old friends couldn’t help but giggle in each other’s embrace.

"You’re even more prettier than before." Jasmine eyed Nicole with a broad smile on her face while Nicole snorted at her.

"And you got married to Mr Elm."Nicole narrowed her eyes at Jasmine who blushed red. "You have a lot of explaining to do."

"Come on ladies, can we go already? My legs hurt." Hailey whined, bringing their minds back to their surroundings.

Jasmine laughed at that. "Of course, Mamacita."

Nicole shook her head as she went to the other side of the car, her eyes widened in awe, and she couldn’t help but comment on the car. "Fancy Benz, nice!! You’re living the life, girl."

The booth was opened and Nicole dropped her bag in before her big luggage followed too.

"This is Kingsley’s car," Jasmine said as she walked to the driver’s seat to start the car engine.

Hailey quickly settled on the back seat, her eyes danced around. "Wow, Aunt Jasmine is so rich and the car is cool."

Nicole sat on the passenger’s seat as she joined Jasmine at the front.

"Of course, I am cooler than your mom, right?" Jasmine ignited the car, Nicole threw her a side look making her chuckle.

"Of course, you are cooler than my mom who doesn’t like to go out or buy a fancy car like you." Hailey didn’t hold back making laughter roll out of Jasmine’s throat.

Nicole’s face fell when she heard that, totally embarrassed by how Hailey described her. She stuttered as she tried to save some face for herself "No-no, I do go out sometimes, aside from going to work, I go out to have fun." She said, not even believing herself.

Jasmine drove out of the airport, the car was filled with bickering and banters as they noisily argued.

"Aside from going to the convenience store down the street back home, where else do you go?" Hailey smirked at her mom.

Ashamed of being caught, Nicole retorted to using the ’mother’s tone’ on Hailey. "Hey, little kid,I’m still your mom! And I’m cool." To her dismay, Hailey just snorted.

Jasmine listened and laughed in between while still focusing on driving. "I thought you both only banter on the phone, who would have thought you both do this too in reality??" A playful tone was at the edge of her statement.

Nicole scoffed at Jasmine. "You join her in bullying me!"

The rest of the drive to the new apartment Jasmine helped to arrange for them was fun. Nicole turned on some of their favorite music which they vibed to, it was more of a karaoke thing.

It was a two-hour ride from the airport to the area where the apartment was located.

"It’s so far from the airport, how did you get the house??" Nicole asked in surprise as she looked out of the window, it was really hot outside.

Jasmine only threw her a look before looking at the front again. "Well, my husband had his secretary prepare the apartment, it’s just few blocks away from his so he bought the apartment for your usage."

"Your husband’s secretary lives a few blocks away from the house we are moving into??" Hailey jumped in from behind.

Jasmine hummed and Hailey asked again."Is he single? Taken? Married? Divorce?? Aunt, do you think he will be into my mom who is so conservative with life??" Her questions made Jasmine laugh out in amusement.

"Can you go sit your ass down, little woman and stop talking??!" Nicole snapped, her ears turning bright red because of her all-so-smart daughter. "You’re just a kid." She hated that she always reminded Hailey and herself of this fact.

Hailey is still a kid, she should act as such and stop interfering in adult conversations.

Hailey pouted while withdrawing to the back again, Jasmine shook her head.

"Don’t scold my goddaughter like that next time," Jasmine said before dragging out a chocolate bar from the compartment between her and Nicole and gesturing to Hailey to take it.

"Thank you, Aunt Jasmine." Hailey happily collected the chocolate and settled back on her chair, munching on the chocolate.

After eating, she drank from her water bottle and fell asleep on the chair, looking worn out as she was experiencing Jetlag.

Soon, Jasmine’s car drove into a wide compound, a major part of it was covered with grass that formed a carpet. There was a driveway that headed towards the small Garage attached to the mini apartment. And then, a walkway to the front door.

Nicole was mesmerized by the sight, now she wondered who this secretary was to be able to know what her taste was like.

She loved being around nature and here, it had it all...Nicole spotted a mountain at the back of the house and the field was well-trimmed. And the house wasn’t built extravagantly, it was modest and cozy.

"I can tell that I’m going to love it here," Nicole said when Jasmine finally parked the car in the clean garage.

"Oh yeah, here we are!!" Jasmine bubbled in excitement as she stepped out of the car and Nicole followed suit.

Nicole looked around the neighborhood, it was a quiet neighborhood and the houses were built far away from each other. Houses were scattered and scanty there.

"This is a very reserved neighborhood. Things must be costly here." Nicole commented as she met Jasmine halfway, preparing to take out their stuff from the booth.

"The cheapest Houses here cost thirty million so you shouldn’t be surprised why the houses are few," Jasmine commented dryly while Nicole gasped in shock, she quickly used her both palms to cover her lips from screaming in shock.

"You don’t mean it." She said but her words came out muffled because of her palms that were placed on her mouth, and her eyes were bulged out.

Jasmine shrugged. "This apartment cost four million dollars." Nicole started to feel dizzy by the amount spent to make herself comfortable.

"Holy Mary.." Nicole grabbed Jasmine’s shoulder who was trying to pull the luggage out of the booth.

Jasmine only smiled at Nicole’s reaction. Nicole bickered. "Do not tell me you spent that much money to get me this house!"

Jasmine smirked. "I didn’t get this house, my husband,Mr Elm did. He says this is a gift to my best friend." She had informed Kingsley about Nicole, and she asked if Nicole could come stay with them and use the apartment at the back of their mansion but Kingsley offered to get them this house instead, saying he needed his privacy.

Kingsley instructed Raymond to look for a house, Raymond has a property in this location so it was easy to find this apartment for Nicole.

Nicole remained quiet for a while before commenting dryly. "Oh, Mr Elm, is that nice?" Her question made Jasmine shake her head.

"You all believe in the rumors too much." Jasmine didn’t explain more than that, Nicole didn’t even push it further.

"Relay my heartfelt gratitude to almighty Kingsley Elm." Nicole sincerely appreciated. Jasmine grinned before matching towards the house to unlock the door.

Nicole carried their bags in while Jasmine carried Hailey into the house.

Nicole was left speechless, the interiors screamed millions of dollars!! She used the next few hours to inspect the house.

Everything was in place, the house was fully furnished with necessities.

"You like what you see??" Jasmine asked as she came out of the room she placed Hailey to sleep.

"Yeah!" Nicole’s eyes sparkled in excitement. "Especially the swing at the back and the barbecue spot where we can also grill some meat."

An idea suddenly clicked in her head and Nicole’s grin widened even more. "Want to sleep over so we can do some fun activities?? Like grilling meat and getting drunk?" She clapped, waiting for Jasmine’s reply.

Jasmine’s eyes brightened up as she nodded in agreement. "Of course, that sounds like a great plan. Definitely sleeping over!" She declared.

Her phone decided to vibrate at that moment, Nicole went off to the kitchen to grab water to drink while Jasmine answered the phone.

"Hey," Jasmine responded in a cool voice, Lorraine’s cranky voice rang out from the other end.

"Jasmine, Please help!"
