Chapter 1692
And in a low voice, he whispered into Nicole's ear, "You belong to me no matter where we are."
Gloria came outside right after Jared had said that and flashed them a cheeky smile when she saw Nicole blushing.
However, she did not say anything about it.
"Jared, you should spend the night here since you have the time today," Gloria said.
Nicole's family was already used to the relationship between Jared and Nicole, so it would not be a big deal for him
to sleep over occasionally.
"Mom, no..." Nicole figured that Jared was already very reckless, and what Gloria did would only enable him.

weekend with Nicole at her house.
"It's settled then. There's something important going on today too." Gloria went to get prepared happily.
Jared watched Gloria leave, but he did not look like he was surprised at all.
However, Nicole was a little confused. 'Why would mom suddenly ask Jared to stay for dinner? And weirdly enough,
Jared agreed to stay without any hesitation at all...'
Nicole just did not feel right, but she kept it to herself because Gloria had already made the decision.
Still, she warned Jared, "You better leave right after dinner. You're not spending the night here."
Nicole felt that it was weird for him to sleep over at her home so frequently before they had even gotten married.
Jared smiled. "That depends on how late it would be after dinner is done."
Nicole frowned. "What do you mean?"
'Why do I feel like something's not right with this guy?' she asked herself.
"Nothing. You should get some rest. Do you want to take a bath upstairs?" he asked, changing the subject at once.
Nicole furrowed her brows. 'What's up with this guy? Why is he being so kind to me?'
However, Nicole had not even changed her clothes after coming back home.
So, she nodded and said, "I'll go upstairs now then. Stay here and don't say anything stupid."
Then, Nicole stood up and headed up to her room.
Jared watched Nicole going up and smiled gently. Then, he shifted his gaze to Max...

Nicole had a long day, so she spent a while longer in the bathtub, and by the time she had returned to the living
room with a fresh change of clothes, an hour had already passed.
The sky had turned pitch black too. She thought that Gloria would have the dinner ready by then.
However, the entire house was in complete darkness when she returned downstairs.
"What's going on?" she asked.
Nicole figured that her father and brothers would be home at that time. 'Why is the house so empty?
'Besides, where's Jared and mom? Did they go out together? ' she wondered.
Nicole continued walking down the stairs in confusion.
'This is strange. It's already nighttime and the house shouldn't be so dark. Mom loves the light. It was impossible for
her to not switch them on at night...' she continued.
Suddenly, she felt somebody approaching her from behind.
Instinctively, she grabbed that person's hand, prompting them to yell out of pain. "It hurts!"
