Chapter 1995
Nicole's expression appeared to be a little uneasy as she looked at Jared's teasing gaze. Although he managed to
guess her thoughts, she understood the hidden meaning behind his words too, implying that she could miss him.
Her heart beat faster, and she subconsciously looked away, avoiding direct eye contact with Jared. 'It could get
really difficult to deal with this guy sometimes,' she thought to herself.
Seeing how nervous Nicole got, Jared subtly curved his lips. Although he was eating dinner alone, the food tasted
unusually good.
After finishing his meal, Jared followed Nicole back to the room.
Nicole frowned with resentment. "Actually, you don't have to stay here with me."
The estate was so near and so much bigger, yet Jared would still cramp into a room with her. Nicole just did not feel
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcomfortable with it.
However, Jared did not want to let any opportunity to be alone with her slip away. So he said confidently, "It's livelier
here."
Of course, Jared would be wherever Nicole was, and he did not want to leave her, not even for a single moment.
Nicole rolled her eyes at Jared and grabbed a blanket before throwing it at him. "This is yours. Remember, do not
cross the line."
Upon saying that, Nicole pulled her own blanket over and wrapped herself up, lying with her back facing Jared. She
genuinely did not want Jared to get close to her.
Jared looked a little helpless after he had been brushed aside. However, he was glad that he was not chased out of
the room. He had no other choice but to accept his fate and lay down.
Although the person he had been thinking about for nights and days was right before his eyes, all he could do was
sleep while hugging the blanket. It was simply frustrating for him as he wondered to himself, 'When will days like
this ever come to an end?'
Very soon, he heard gentle breathing fill the room. So, he sighed and slowly shut his eyes.
On the next day, the rising sun awakened a new day.
Nicole woke up and saw the huge face in front of her. She found herself clinging onto Jared like an octopus and her
face immediately turned red and hot. She immediately pulled her hand back as if she was electrified, but it was
already too late.
Jared grabbed her hand and put it back on his waist as he looked at her playfully. "You're the one who broke the
rules now. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"I'm going to the office. I have a lot of work to do." Nicole panicked and looked away as she tried to shift the topic.
She was asleep, and she had no idea how that happened. She just wanted to get out of this awkward situation now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole was about to get out of bed after saying that, attempting to flee the scene.
However, she failed to do so. After grabbing her arm, Jared flipped them over and pinned her down on the bed as
he forced several kisses on her.
"Hey, get off..." Nicole struggled in panic, yet her words were all engulfed by Jared.
Although Jared was extremely reluctant to do so, his rationality overcame his impulse anyway. Then, after getting a
taste of Nicole, he let her go.
Nicole was stunned for a while and her mind was blank after suddenly regaining the freedom to breathe.
Jared dotingly rubbed her soft hair and said, "Get freshened up. I'll drive you to the office after having breakfast."
"Okay," Nicole replied like a robot. Then, she got out of bed and walked toward the bathroom. However, she came
to an abrupt stop halfway before turning around and glowering at Jared. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Jared
Johnston!"
'I almost fell into this cunning man's trap! How could he do that to me?!'
Jared smirked and slowly walked toward Nicole. Then, he lowered his gaze and looked at her. "How can I help you?"
