Chapter 1879
As they were being stared at by Jared, Gary and Ryder felt the overwhelming presence looming over them.
However, Gary tried his best to resist Jared's presence nonetheless, and in a tone indicative of his dissatisfaction, he
replied, "Nicole and I are classmates. Isn't it normal for us to know each other well?"
Seeing how headstrong Gary was, Jared looked at Ryder and mocked, "Then, is Ryder classmates with Nicole too?"
Ryder did not know how to explain himself, and as such, he could only reply awkwardly, "We joined a competition a
few days back. I guess we can be considered as teammates."
After all, the three of them were in a team. This, it was not wrong for him to refer to himself as one of Nicole's
teammates.
However, Jared felt as though the two of them were simply giving excuses.
The Finley brothers were really timid people. It was obvious that both of them had feelings for Nicole, and yet, they
could have a meal with Nicole together. This made others wonder what their actual feelings were.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment, Nicole could tell that Jared was unhappy. Initially, Nicole was quite surprised to see him, but it
puzzled her as to why he would see green so suddenly the instant he arrived.
Seeing that Ryder and Gary were done with their meal, Nicole said, "The both of you can head back first. I’d like
some time alone with my fiance. Is that fine?"
Nicole's words made the Finley brothers feel sad. Once her fiance appeared, she had become totally unavailable to
them.
Yet, Ryder could still find it in himself to be cordial about it." Sure, we'll leave the both of you alone."
Then, he turned around and dragged Gary out without giving him a chance to speak.
Jared watched them leave.
Then, he turned back and looked at Nicole unhappily. "It's one thing for you to have lunch without me. However, you
just had to string those two stalkers along?"
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Jared Johnston, you b*stard! You're getting better and better at being jealous now.
They're just my schoolmates, and it was a coincidence that they wanted to dine in here too. Wouldn't it be even
weirder if we split tables?"
Jared knew that Nicole did not have such intentions. But to Jared, the feelings the two men had for her were clear
as day.
"Fortunately, we're getting registered tomorrow. Otherwise, I will never be at peace for the rest of my life," he said.
Jared was not at ease, knowing that his own woman was perfect in every way, and that countless eyes were on her.
At the mention of tomorrow, the look on Nicole's face darkened. "How dare you mention it? You booked such an
early flight. I thought of sleeping in a little later."
In fact, Nicole did not intend to get registered so soon.
However, Jared replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I can stay in your room tonight and be your personal alarm."
"Go away!" Nicole yelled, not giving him any opportunity to have another sleepover in her room anymore. "I'm
telling you, I've changed the locks for the balcony door. You won't be able to come in anymore. Don't bother trying."
Jared suddenly whipped a key out. "I know. I've cracked it open with this key."
"You!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIndeed, he was a truly shameless man. If anything, it seemed that Jared had secretly taken Nicole's key when they
were together and duplicated it.
"So, you better wake up on time tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll come over tonight," Jared whispered into Nicole's ear in a
threatening tone.
Nicole could not help but bite her lower lip. "You filthy man! Hmph!"
'Forget it! I'll just wake up by myself. It's a lot better than being woken up by him,' she thought.
"I'm only filthy when I'm with you." Jared smiled.
At that moment, Claus, who had been attentive from the get go, served Jared a lunch platter and a cup of coffee.
Nicole was stunned, "You haven't had lunch?"
"Of course. My fiancee was busy having lunch with others but not me," Jared replied playfully.
Hearing that, Nicole was at a loss for words. "Fine. I'll keep you company right now."
Jared pursed his lips. Happy at last, he began eating his lunch.
As the two of them had not had lunch together for a while, that meal was extremely satisfying for Jared.
After lunch, Jared reluctantly sent Nicole back to the school's entrance.
Nicole also felt sad having to part with Jared. "Okay. Drive safe."
"Will do." Jared nodded.
Then, he kissed Nicole on the forehead without an ounce of care as to where they were.
