Chapter 2033
Jared's lips curled up into a warm smile. "Don't apologize. You're doing great already. Didn't you say you were going
to follow your heart? It seems that your heart is telling you to come to me."
Though he was frustrated that someone else was pursuing Nicole, Nicole's attitude toward Lawrence did not drive
him into sorrow or madness. She had made the right choice by following her heart, and the results were very
satisfactory to Jared.
They might not be as fervent in their romance as they were before, but Jared was more than happy to give her
space and time. He was willing to wait for her, and he believed that she would not disappoint him.
At that moment, Nicole was pulled back into reality and realized that she was hugging Jared. Her face immediately
flushed as she pushed him away, creating a distance between them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe could not believe that she had actually let her guard down and hugged Jared moments ago. ’It's so
embarrassing. I feel like I'm going to die.'
Jared flashed her a devilish smile when he saw how flustered she looked. "Are you trying to tell me that nothing
happened seconds ago?"
"What happened just now? Nothing happened at all," Nicole explained, her cheeks turning a rosy shade of red.
"Well, you hugged me on your own accord." Jared paused before inching closer to Nicole. "Or maybe, you had
something else in mind. Did you want something else to happen?"
"Of course not." Nicole's face flushed an even deeper shade of red. 'This jerk is teasing me!'
"No?" Jared asked, getting so close to her that she could feel his breath.
Nicole could not help but hold her breath. She quickly tried to distance herself, but as she was too aggressive about
it, she lost her balance and ended up falling over.
"Oh!" Nicole let out a cry before extending her arm to grab something.
She did not know what she had caught onto, but she held onto it tightly anyway.
"Oof."
Unfortunately, the object she was holding onto was Jared’s necktie. She had pulled Jared down with her, causing
him to fall as well. The both of them fell onto the bed, with Jared now lying on top of Nicole.
"Hm, not bad at all. You can do a better job at lighting the spark, actually." Jared smirked.
Though he knew that she did not mean to do it, he just could not help but tease her as he wanted to see her
panicked expression.
"Stop fooling around and get off of me," Nicole's face burned red.
Then, she forcefully pushed him away, feeling too embarrassed.
"Woah!" the kids exclaimed in unison once the door had swung open.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe kids barging in was the last thing that Nicole had seen coming. Utterly embarrassed now, Nicole quickly sat up
after pushing Jared away. In the meantime, he played along and stopped teasing her as he stood by the bed.
"Mommy, are you kissing Daddy?" Lana widened her innocent eyes.
This raised a desperate urge in Nicole to erase that memory in Lana's head. 'Why on earth is this little girl saying
such a thing?!'
"Nonsense! Mommy's not feeling well," Nolan said with a frown.
He did not want to acknowledge what he had just seen. 'It's not like the people on TV. It's definitely not.'
"No? But Mommy doesn't look sick," Lana responded.
Nicole's lips twitched as she calmly explained, "Mommy was feeling a little dizzy, so I fell over."
"Did Daddy fall too?" Lana continued. 'I saw what happened. But why is Mommy denying it?'
Nicole was at a loss for words. How was she going to
answer that?
'Should I just say that Jared fell because I pulled him down with me when I tipped over?'
