"Sure. Then we won't keep you any longer." Gloria then called the butler and instructed him, "Get the driver to take
Lulu home, please."
"Of course,"' he responded and left to make the arrangements.
Lulu initially wanted to decline, but the butler had already left, so she expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Mrs.
Riddle."
"No need for formalities. We're going to be family!" Gloria smiled affectionately.

to unwind.
Nicole smiled tenderly when she saw everything was set up, including the bubble bath and scented candles. "Thank
you."
Jared ruffled her hair lovingly. "Take your time and relax."
As Jared left, Nicole undressed and lowered herself into the bathtub.
Lying comfortably in the warm water, Nicole slowly closed her eyes and enjoyed the tranquility.
After Jared had gone out, he sat by the bed and began working on his laptop while waiting for his wife to finish her
bath.
After dealing with all of his emails, he realized Nicole had not come out yet. Frowning, he wondered why she was
taking so long.
Jared furrowed his eyebrows as he approached the bathroom door. "Nicole, are you alright?"
No response came from inside.
He called again, "Nicole?"
Still met with silence, Jared grew concerned. He forcefully pushed the door open and saw Nicole still soaking in the
bathtub, her cheeks rosy. Despite the commotion he caused barging in, she remained asleep.
Realizing that she might have soaked for too long and fainted, Jared swiftly moved to the tub and lifted Nicole out of
the water.
Once Nicole was out of the water, she trembled as cold air hit her skin. She blinked her eyes open and saw Jared.
"What's going on?" Nicole murmured softly, still drowsy.

earlier. 'What's going on? Why don't I remember anything?'

blanket.
"Nicole?" Jared called softly.
She mumbled in response, "I'm tired. Goodnight."
Jared was relieved as Nicole seemed to be alright. She was just extremely fatigued. He did not disturb her further
and remained seated by the bedside, monitoring her condition.
As midnight approached, Nicole showed no signs of distress, and Jared finally lay down to sleep as well.
The morning sunlight awakened a new day.
Nicole slowly opened her eyes, frowning slightly as she sensed something amiss. 'Why does it feel chilly?'
She pulled up the covers, and her eyes immediately widened. 'Why am I naked?!'
Nicole failed to recall anything. 'Why am I not wearing anything?! I remember soaking in the hot water last night,
and I think I fell asleep.'
