Chapter 1878
Gary nodded and darted his eyes at Nicole's direction.
Then, something clicked in Ryder's mind. 'Is it possible that the owner of this cafe is Jared?! In which case, wouldn't
Nicole be the proprietress of this place?!'
The thought that was racing across his mind almost made Ryder spit his mouthful of coffee out.
Still, he forced himself to swallow the coffee before coughing out loud. "Really?"
Gary nodded with a serious look on his face.
"So, that's why you know the store manager so well," Ryder said awkwardly.
'It would be weird if he didn't know the taste and preferences of his boss' wife well. It won't be wise for him to mix it

Nicole noticed the weird behavior among the two brothers, and that was when she guessed that Ryder knew about
her relationship with Jared.
Therefore, she did not deny it. "Yeah."
Ryder looked at Nicole in embarrassment, not expecting her to answer it so plainly.
'If this were someone else, they would be over the moon to own such a huge cafe,* Ryder thought to himself.
Ryder then stopped talking, as he felt that Claus had been staring at him. He lowered his head and continued
eating.
Nicole had her coffee and lunch in peace. Soon after, the three of them had finished their lunch, and were eating
the dessert that Nicole had shared with them.
'I had never dreamed of the day when my idol shares her desserts with me.' The two brothers were overjoyed.
With that in mind, Ryder could not help but say, "This is on me."
'To be able to buy my idol lunch is a dream come true,' Ryder thought.
Nicole shook her head, "There's no need for that. I don't pay when I eat here."
This implied that, since the duo had followed her to the cafe, there was no need for them to pay for the meal. Gary
glanced at Ryder before the two of them understood what that meant at once, with the two of them almost
forgetting that it belonged to Jared.
Then, as they were both thinking, they felt a strong gust of wind behind them. The Finley brothers spun around and
saw a man in a windbreaker jacket making his entrance through the door. His gaze was strong and stern as he
stared at the two of them before he made a beeline for their table.

Gary looked at Jared and thought, 'Never have I thought I'd see Jared for lunch...'
On the other hand, Ryder seemed to have sensed that things
were not going to be so simple. Jared's battered appearance indicated that he had made his way here on purpose.
Nicole was also very surprised as she had not expected Jared to turn up at the cafe during lunch hour.
"What are you doing here?" Nicole looked at Jared with a gentle smile.
The smile in question was something both Ryder and Gary had never seen before, in that it was something so pure.
Both Gary and Ryder turned to look at each other.
'It seems that Nicole would only show her vulnerable side to Jared.'
Seeing that, both Gary and Ryder felt an abrupt surge of jealousy as they watched Nicole smile at Jared.
Jared instantly recognized the Finley brothers and his voice turned cold. "Aren't these two gentlemen from the
Finley family? Are you close to my fiancee?"
'If Claus had not given me a heads up, I wouldn't have known that Nicole was having lunch with these guys. I mean,
it's okay to have lunch, but with these two? This lady can't seem to give me a break!' Jared thought to himself.
