Chapter 1106
Jared Johnston heard noises outside and asked, "Max, is that a horse?"
"I think it is," Max answered.
Jared hurried out of the building and saw that Carl had already galloped off on horseback, and there seemed to be
light shining in from the distance where Carl was heading off to.He knew that it was Nicole, who had made a safe
return along with the rescue team.
"Prepare dinner for us right away."
Jared stood outside at gate of the racecourse and kept watch, as the light became brighter with each passing
second.
"Why are you here again?"
Nicole shook her head when she saw Carl was rushing toward her.
"I just came over to see how you're doing," he said with a look of concern.
"Have you encountered any creatures along the way?"
"No, there were a lot of people with me. I'm fine!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole looked at Carl with a smile.
"Is that Jared?" she asked upon catching a glimpse of a person standing outside the gates of the racecourse.
"I think it is," Carl replied without much certainty, as he had not seen Jared when he rode away.
"Come," Jared said as he helped Nicole dismount.
"You didn't encounter anything on the way back, did you?" Jared looked at Nicole with concern.
"Safe and sound," Nicole glanced at Jared and began ambling off to the house in the racecourse.
"Come on inside."
Jared took Nicole's hand and walked in.
Upon entering, Nicole saw a table filled with lavish meals.
"Wow, there's food prepared!"
"Miss Riddle, are you okay?"
Uncle Ronnie came over and asked.
Nicole looked at Uncle Ronnie apologetically, "I'm okay.I'm sorry.I must've scared you.I even lost one of your horses
too."
"No worries," Ronnie said.
"All is well, as long as you're back in one piece.Please, help yourself to some food and catch some rest once you're
done."
"Okay," she replied.
"Thank you, Uncle Ronnie."
Upon seeing that Nicole was fine.
Ronnie Willis went back to his quarters and resumed with his sleep, leaving Jared and Carl to accompany Nicole on
the dining table.
"It's really cold outside, so I suggest you get yourselves warmed up with some wine."
Jared looked at them both, and then centered his gaze on Nicole.
"Hey Nicole, you made a bonfire out in the wild.Were you lost?"
"Yeah, well I was originally...going out for a ride, but then, I kept going and the next thing I knew, I wasn't able to
find my way back." Nicole replied, without telling him that he was the reason as to why she had sped off the way
she did.
"Thank goodness, we came back safe and sound, or else we'd have been sleepless," Carl jokes.
"No, it gave me a lingering fear.This is the first time I've been surrounded by wolves.It was really traumatizing,"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole sighed before taking another bite.
Listening to the exchange between the two of them, Jared began to get an idea of how terrifying it must have been
for them.
"Nicole, have some of these."
Jared placed pieces of vegetables onto her bowl.
"It'll help put you at ease."
"Thank you for coming for us, or else we wouldn't have known what other kinds of beasts we might have to
encounter," Nicole flashed Jared a bitter smile and turned to Carl.
Indeed, if Jared had not found them, they would have ran out of means to defend themselves if they encountered
another creature again.
"Yeah, thanks you for arriving in time, Mr.Johnston," Carl said and raised his glass to Jared.
Jared raised his glass in response, "Don't mention it."
‘Although Jared had led a search party for me tonight, I don't think I can feel it.Deep down inside I'm still mad at
him, but with Carl here, I don't want to ruin the atmosphere.He might think we are just being obnoxious with all of
that drama"
By the time the meal was over, Nicole had regained much of her strength, and Carl had excused himself, leaving
her in the company of Jared.
