Chapter 2000
Nicole's heart was beating uncontrollably; she could even feel it thumping. Her cheeks were faintly flushed too.
"Come here," Jared said with a subtle smile when he saw her standing in place.
It was only then that Nicole came to realize that she had been staring at him the entire time without even noticing
that she had stopped walking. She could not help but feel a little uneasy.
"Let's go." Jared grabbed her delicate hands and led her into the car after she had finally come to him.
The car started moving, and when Nicole noticed that they were not heading toward their home, she asked
curiously," Where are we going?"
"To a date," Jared said.
Hearing that, Nicole was shocked. "I didn't agree to go on a date with you!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'I haven't remembered anything about us yet. It'd be so weird for us to go out on a date!' she thought to herself.
"But you promised Lana yesterday," Jared smugly said.
"Don't get me wrong. I was just trying to comfort Lana at that time. There's no need for us to actually go on a
date," Nicole sulked as she rolled her eyes at Jared.
She refused to believe that Jared did not understand what she had truly meant.
"I disagree. I believe there is definitely a need." Jared became unusually serious.
In truth, he really needed a date with Nicole.
If Nicole could not regain her memories for now, they would need to start over and fall in love again. He did not
mind giving her time, and he respected the situation she was in as well. However, he had to stay by her side and
make sure that she would not leave him anymore. He had to keep her safe no matter what.
Nicole seemed to notice the sadness in his eyes, and she somehow felt a twinge of pain in her heart. Then, she
swallowed her words and stopped with her blatant rejection of him.
'If what he said is true, he has been living in tremendous pain over the past five years. Even though I don't have any
memories of us, I can imagine how heartbroken he must have felt,' she thought.
The car slowly came to a halt as they arrived at the restaurant.
It was a very new restaurant that was decorated in Nicole's favorite style, serving the cuisines she loved the most.
Upon entering the restaurant, Nicole noticed that there were not many people inside, and among those who were
present, all of them looked like waiters.
Seeing that, she could not help but ask in confusion, "Isn't it dinnertime now?"
'Why is there no one here during this time?' she wondered.
"We'll be their only customers for tonight."
After all, this was their first time going on a real date following their reunion. Jared did not wish for anybody else to

yearning for.
However, Nicole did not know how to feel about Jared reserving the entire place for her. 'This is a little too formal,
isn't it?'
They sat down at the only table with utensils arranged, and the waiter began serving the dishes. Soon after, the
table was filled with various delicacies.
Nicole felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she saw that everything which had been served was her favorite
food. She knew that Jared truly loved and cared for her.
As the music played in the background of the meticulously decorated dining environment, Nicole strangely felt
blessed, even though it was merely a dinner.
"Mr. Johnston." Nicole uttered, deciding to address Jared that way after thinking about it for the entire day.
"Call me Jared," he said, feeling a little upset.
He just could not get used to Nicole calling him from such a distance.
Nicole then scrambled to find another way to address him after noticing how persistent he was. "Jared Johnston."
