Chapter 1500
"Not bad. It tastes better than all of the previous ones I've tried. Oh, and I must add, the aftertaste is very strong,"
she said.
Jared could not help but flash her a smile upon hearing Nicole's professional feedback. "I guess it's only right that I
give the best stuff to the expert.''
Nicole returned the smile before she placed the cup down and began eating.
She looked at Jared and said as she chewed. "You're looking very pale. You haven't been sleeping for the past two
days, have you?"
'This dude is reckless. He came to save me right after he woke up from a head injury. How ridiculous,' she thought.
"It's fine. I'll get better by staying here with you," Jared said in nonchalant fashion.
Nicole's heart melted, and in a flirtatious manner, she teased, "Cut it off. Nobody knows your body better than me.
You've got to bed down in a hospital after we get back later."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'This guy suffered major injuries because of me, yet he disregarded his own health and safety, and rushed out of
the hospital just to save me. Does he really think that he's made of steel?' she thought.
"Hospital?" Jared lifted his brows. "I guess not. My grandfather is expecting you."
"Grandfather?" It was then that Nicole realized that Jared's grandfather had come to visit him in the previous video
recording. 'He probably knows something...'
Everything else would make sense if the Johnston family was a part of the Holy Alliance.
Noticing Nicole's look of concern, he said, "Don't worry. My grandfather just wants to know what really happened.
He's very glad that you own the crest now. After all, you're the future wife of his grandson. It's not an issue that you
have the crest to make our family stronger.
Nicole looked at him. "Are you sure? Is that what your grandfather thinks? I'm just worried that everyone else will
think that I'm a burden..."
"My family isn't afraid of anything." Jared looked at Nicole sternly to reassure her.
Nicole immediately felt a lot better and as of now, she even began to admire the choice she had made.
She was glad that Jared had been staying by her side, making her feel that she would always have his support
whenever she needed it.
"Are you saying that I should never leave you and your family then?" Nicole said cheekily before she continued to
eat.
Jared lifted his brows. "Of course. You're never, ever, leaving."
Nicole nodded as she looked into Jared's gentle eyes. "Okay then..."
It was a promise from Nicole that she would never leave him.
As Jared had gotten the answer he wanted, he stroked her hair gently and proceeded to eat his breakfast with her.
Jared's plane arrived as soon as they had finished their meal. Together, they bade everyone goodbye and left the
country soon after.
Zane was worried that their enemies would launch another assault on Nicole, so he sent Carl and a few other men
to escort them in a fleet of seven other planes.
Nicole looked out of the window and thought that Zane was being overprotective.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole then saw more than ten other planes flying in a formation around Jared's private jet after they had flown out
of the city area.
As all of the aircrafts coalesced, the formation became even stronger. To Nicole, a scenario like this could only be
witnessed on television whenever some high-ranking officials were escorted out of some country.
"Isn't this a bit much?" she asked.
Nicole had always been a humble person, and therefore, she had never expected that she would one day travel in a
manner similar to individuals of major significance.
"Not at all. You're as important as a world leader now. This is perfectly normal." Jared looked at Nicole solemnly.
It would be a huge deal if a country had ten prestigious families present to protect it. However, Nicole was in
charge of multiple regions across the globe now. She was the individual whom all families would obey, and thus, her
treatment was comparable to those of world leaders.
Nicole was rendered speechless as she looked at Jared. Even though she thought that what he said made sense,
she still could not accept the fact that she would have to travel like that.
"Just this once. Let's just get things back to normal once we're home. I don't want to freak my family out," she said.
