Chapter 1499
"l-l guess I should get going now. I'm afraid that Uncle Zane might need my help..." Carl said, and left the room
thereafter.
The door slammed shut with a bang, showing how much Carl was in a hurry to leave. This gave Nicole a sense of
relief.
'Looks like Carl isn't really bothered by everything that had happened. I wish that I could pretend that nothing had
happened too,' she thought.
However, Jared had noticed everything. "What happened between you and him? Why is there some sort of tension
in the room?"
Jared noticed that Carl would treat Nicole exceptionally well, and whenever he stared at Nicole, he would do so in a
passionate way. Besides, he had never really gotten along well with Carl. Even now, he regretted the fact that he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad allowed Carl to leave, especially after he had observed how guilty the latter looked.
' Nothing much." Nicole looked at Jared.
Then, she came up with a random excuse in fear that Jared would grow jealous once again. "I guess he's distancing
himself from you after he had seen how close you are with Uncle Zane. You're not seeing green now, are you?"
"Are you sure?" he asked.
Jared could not believe what Nicole had said to him because Carl was the heir of his family, and he had figured that
the latter would have no reason to fear him just because he discovered that Jared was a close friend of Zane's.
Even though he had more questions, he did not bother to ask because Nicole was not ready to tell him the truth.
Besides...he did not want Nicole to think that he was a petty man who would become jealous over everything.
"You're so good with words. What exactly do you mean by that?" Jared frowned and looked at her with his brows
raised.
Nicole was left speechless. 'Does this dude not know how easy it is for him to get all jealous?'
"Whatever. I'm feeling hungry. I want to eat something," she said.
Nicole did not wish to continue the conversation with him after she had narrowly just escaped death. She just
wanted to have a good meal.
Jared nodded and looked at his phone. "I've already asked someone to send some food over."
"Okay." Nicole nodded.
As expected, someone came into the ward with breakfast in hand just after they had waited for a few minutes.
"These are all your favorite food," he said.
Nicole had been undergoing a swift recovery with the aid of Beacon, and so, Jared got her all of her favorite food as
he thought that they would not affect her health.
Nicole was delighted as soon as she saw the food. "Consider this a celebration for cheating death."
"Sure," Jared said as he stood up and picked Nicole up.
Then, he placed her down on the couch.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Nicole blushed as soon as she felt how warm he was. Even though they were officially together, and
with the fact that she was already used to being intimate with him, she would still feel shy whenever other people
were around.
"Dig in," Jared said, handing Nicole the utensils.
It was a unique experience for her to enjoy exquisite French cuisine in a hospital ward, and needless to say, Nicole
felt very happy that she could do that. And as if that was not enough, Jared even got someone to bring her a
brewing machine to grind her coffee beans with.
Nicole could not remember the last time Jared made her a cup of coffee. She took a sniff and felt like the entire
ward was saturated with its fragrance.
Seeing how eager she was, he came up to her and placed the cup down in front of her. "This is the newest strain of
coffee on my farm for this season. Give it a try."
Nicole smiled. Then, she grabbed the cup and took a sip.
Suddenly, she felt a unique yet mellow taste radiating across her tongue.
