Chapter 2268
Nicole still did not understand what Jared was referring to, so she frowned in confusion. "Why do you ask?"
"Have you noticed any changes in Nolan's behavior lately?" Jared sensed that Nolan was slowly warming up to him.
Though Nolan had not fully accepted him, the young boy was less resistant. What more, Nolan hardly brought up
Lawrence when Jared was around.
Upon hearing that, Nicole finally understood. She nodded." Oh, it was nothing. Well, I told him that Lawrence and I
would only be friends."
Otherwise, Nolan would have kept playing matchmaker between them. Nicole was finding it hard to handle.

"Let's just say he's trying." Nicole still knew Nolan better. If she set things straight, Nolan would figure things out on
his own. Now, it was evident that Nolan had accepted the fact, whether wholeheartedly or reluctantly.
Jared held Nicole's hand tight. "That's great. You should reject your suitors like that in the future too."
"I don't have suitors, alright?" Nicole rolled her eyes, finding his jealousy a little excessive.
"Who said that? You have so many suitors," Jared said helplessly. It could not be helped since Nicole had an
attractive charm.
Nicole smiled wryly. "I'm sure you have more pursuers than I do."
Compared to Nicole, Jared should be the one who was more sought after. He was the perfect catch.
"Rest assured, I only have you in my heart," Jared immediately replied.
Nicole rolled her eyes at him again. "You shouldn't worry either. There's no one in my heart."
Nicole would never fall for his trap. She was aware that Jared was deliberately leading her into confessing.
Realizing his plan was see-through, Jared did not show any embarrassment. "I'm just speaking from my heart." That
earned him yet another eye roll from Nicole, but he sensed a hint of shyness in her expression. He picked Nicole up
and whispered, "I can prove it."
Nicole thought to herself, 'Prove, my foot. Who needs you to prove such things?'
Jared carried Nicole back to their room. By the time they reached their bedside, Nicole had been stripped bare by
Jared and she felt heat spread through her body. Before she could protest, she was lost in Jared's domineering kiss.
The next day, the sun shone brightly, and the breeze was gentle. Early in the morning, people were already on the
way to start their day.

Nicole arrived at the company as usual, and just as she was about to enter the elevator, she heard a familiar voice.
"Hold the elevator!"
Nicole pressed the open button for Lulu to enter the elevator before letting the doors close.
As the elevator rose, Nicole noticed Lulu was panting." What's the hurry?"
"I saw you, so I wanted to catch up." Lulu smiled innocently.
Nicole asked with a knowing look, "Do you have good news for me?"
"Yup, breaking news!" Lulu said excitedly. "Harvey met with Snow and even ate lunch together."
Although it was just a meal, it was rather significant for Snow.
"You have no idea how cocky she was, as if she was going to marry Harvey," Lulu said with a hint of disdain.
