Chapter 1562
"Stick around for a night of observation." Jared said, his tone forceful and resolute.
Unable to resist, Nicole just played along. "But what if my family finds out about it? They'll think something had
happened to me."
A glint appeared in Jared's eyes. "They won't. I'll just tell them that you're staying with me tonight."
Blushing, Nicole was immediately reminded of everything that had occurred yesterday. "Even if you don't feel
embarrassed, just know that I do. How can I stay at your place day after day?"
'What would my parents think of me?’ she thought.
"Don't worry. They'd be happy to know that you're with me," Jared smiled as he took a sip of coffee.
He had this much confidence at the very least.
Hearing that, Nicole was flabbergasted. 'Why does it feel like Jared's skin is getting thicker and thicker by the day?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe's getting increasingly stubborn and harder to deal with.'
Letting out a sigh, Nicole suddenly felt a little hungry. After three long hours of medical examination, it was already
dinnertime.
"I want to eat something," she said.
Jared smiled. "I've already had it prepared."
As he said that, Max walked over with a bag of food in hand.
It seemed that Jared had already known that she was fine and so, he did not restrict her from eating anything for
dinner. Seeing that all of the food were stuff she liked to eat, Nicole's mood got better.
Just as she sat down and was prepared to have a good meal, Jared's behavior took a sudden, strange turn.
"I had to eat alone in the afternoon, and now, I can only have a meal with a certain someone in a hospital ward," he
said as he took a bite.
Nicole glared at him. "I went over to the Guzman residence in the afternoon. Zeke wanted to thank me, so he
treated me to a meal."
Even though Jared knew where she was, his tone became stern upon hearing that she had made her way to the
Guzman residence. "I know you went to the Guzman residence, but they live in an important military zone. Why
would you go there, all of a sudden?"
"Mr. Guzman Sr. and his son, Karlo, invited me over," Nicole said flatly.
"Why though?" he asked, knowing that the old patriarch of the Guzman family had made a name for himself as a
grouchy figure. "Karlo is a brute, and he won't call you over to his place just to thank you. There's something behind
this, isn't there?"
Jared furrowed his brows, his face stern and unsmiling, as if he had already seen through everything.
Realizing that she could not hide it any longer, Nicole sighed. "Fine, you win."
Jared broke into a smile upon hearing her admission. "I suppose the old man wanted to force you to hand the crest
over, right?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole rolled her. "He wanted to, but after I gave Mr. Spears a call, he stopped."
That had really taken her for a fool. She knew that she would definitely not be getting the crest back if she had
handed it over to him.
"You called Zane Spears?" Jared raised his eyebrow. 'Only this woman could think of something like this. I suppose
that old Guzman is probably scared sh*tless now, isn't he?'
He suddenly had the urge to see what the look on that grouchy old Guzman's face was, after the latter was made
aware of Nicole's relationship with Zane Spears.
"Looks like I missed out on some fun." Jared pouted, his tone sounded rather disappointed.
Hearing this, she shot him a glance. "So, you are just after some fun. I'll bring you along next time, then."
Jared kept mum and fed Nicole a spoonful of food.
Not too long after, Jared's phone rang. Upon seeing that it was a call from Claus, he answered it.
"Hello? Yeah, okay. Got it."
He quickly hung up, but it was then that Nicole noticed that he had a grim look on his face.
"What did Claus find? Is it about the car?" she asked.
After all, Claus was very skilled when it comes to investigations like these.
