Chapter 2133
Jared always knew what was happening in Nicole's life, which gave her an unusual feeling, as if she was living under
his nose.
"I happened to pass by when he went in," Jared explained blandly. Even if he did not encounter Lawrence, he could
deduce the situation.
Due to the situation of Happiness Trading, Genesis Group had indeed suffered a certain impact. To repair the
damage, Lawrence had to personally step into the situation. Why did he not tell Nicole he was leaving San Joto?
"But he told me..." Nicole suddenly stopped talking, her expression conflicted. She thought, 'Lawrence clearly said
he was going to Crescent Island, but Jared said he went to Mecrounia. And for some reason, I believe in Jared. Why
did Lawrence lie to me? There's nothing wrong with going to Mecrounia. It would be better if Lawrence didn't tell
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme anything. His lies just make me feel uncomfortable.'
"It doesn't matter. As you said, he has his own life." Seeing Nicole's uneasiness, Jared comforted her while gently
stroking her hair. He had no ill intentions by telling her these things. He just felt she should have known. As for what
decisions she made, Jared believed she could handle it. This would at least let her know that not everyone is worth
trusting.
Nicole bit her lip and nodded faintly. No matter why
Lawrence lied, she knew she had no right to ask about his personal matters. Lawrence might be dealing with things
he could not reveal.
After Nicole calmed down, she regained her usual composure and looked at Jared. "Well, don't you know too well
about Lawrence's situation?"
Nicole thought, 'Jared knew about Lawrence's situation more than me, his actual friend. Is Jared spying on him?'
Jared's gaze darkened, and said meaningfully, "Know your enemies and yourself."
Nicole raised her eyebrow slightly, thinking, 'Why does he need to make it like a war? Alas, what's there to do about
it? If they don't vibe with each other, they can't get along well.'
Helplessly, Nicole shook her head and stopped asking. She shifted the topic, saying, "We should go separately to the
parent-child day."
Nicole thought as long as they both appeared at different times, they would not gain too much attention. As for
when the parent-child activities start, no one would be able to see them from outside. So, it would not create any
problems. Besides, Jared said he would take care of it and make arrangements.
Jared frowned in dissatisfaction. He did not understand why, as the children's parents, they had to split up. Nicole
never considered the possibility of Jared's refusal, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Watching as Nicole left, Jared's gaze darkened. As she came out of her shower, Nicole stumbled into Jared's
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmembrace. Subconsciously, she raised her head, and Jared took the opportunity to kiss her.
"Mmm..." Nicole could not react in time, and her brain simply shut down. Overwhelmed by the fragrance of her
hair, Jared fell for Nicole even more, and his kiss intensified.
On the other hand, Nicole's sanity completely crumbled. She only snapped back to reality when she felt a trace of
coldness on her shoulders. Her bathrobe was starting to slip, and Jared's hands had already slid under the fabric.
"W-Wait a minute." Nicole panicked and hurriedly adjusted her bathrobe, quickly backing away to a safe distance.
Jared's gaze deepened, looking at Nicole's flustered appearance. He could feel his body heating up, so he controlled
himself to stop from leaning forward. Otherwise, he might not be able to restrain himself.
Nicole's cheeks were flushing red, and her heart was pounding wildly. She felt the awkwardness and was at a loss.
"I- Y-You should take a shower. I'll sleep first." Nicole wrapped the bathrobe around her body tightly and quickly
walked to the bed. After lying down, she pulled over the blankets and covered herself.
Jared was smiling, amused at Nicole's wrapped-up position. Knowing she was nervous, he turned around and went
into the bathroom.
