Chapter 2409
Nicole racked her brain, but she still felt puzzled. 'What's going on? Did I lose my memories again?'
"Awake?" Jared's eyes opened as he sensed Nicole's movement.
"Um..." Nicole felt embarrassed, so she pulled the covers and shifted away from Jared.
However, Jared noticed this, and he immediately reached out, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her
into his embrace.
"Hey!" Nicole's cheeks flushed when she realized that she was pressed against Jared, naked.
Jared gazed at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes." You've tortured me all night, so how do you plan to make it
up to me?"
"Me? Torture?" Nicole felt unexpectedly guilty. She genuinely had no recollection of last night, but she was

"Really?" Jared's eyes traced down the curve of Nicole's neck, though he could not see anything due to the covers.
But Nicole understood his implication.
Her cheeks grew even hotter. She attempted to push Jared away and escape, deciding to simply deny everything.
But Jared would not let her succeed. He tightened his hold
on her as soon as she moved, planting a strong kiss on her lips.
A spark ignited, and the room instantly grew warmer...
By the time Jared and Nicole came downstairs, breakfast time had already passed. Tia had taken Nolan and Lana to
school, and those with work had left. Even Daniel and Gloria were not at home.
"Where is everyone?" Nicole felt confused. Why are they all gone?'
"Ms. Nicole, Mr. Riddle went to the ancestral residence to keep Mr. Riddle Sr. company. Mrs. Riddle and Ms. Emma
made plans together too," the butler explained.
"Ah." Nicole knew that her father was concerned about her grandfather, as he had been visiting the Riddle family
manor for the past two days.
Gloria and Aunt Emma were probably occupied with wedding preparations, so she refrained from asking further.
Nicole belatedly realized that something was off when she arrived in the dining room. 'Why didn’t anyone call us
when we didn't come down for dinner? Not even Nolan and Lana!'
Furrowing her eyebrows, Nicole looked at Jared and asked," What did you do?"
It was the only explanation. Otherwise, how could no one call them for breakfast?
"I simply informed Mrs. Riddle that you weren't feeling well and shouldn't be disturbed," Jared replied calmly.
"But I'm not! And why did you tell my mom this?" Nicole could not help but roll her eyes at Jared. 'Doesn't he feel
embarrassed?'

He genuinely wanted her to have enough rest.
Nicole blinked in confusion as she gradually pieced things together. 'So that's what happened. No wonder I don't
remember anything from last night.'
That was why she woke up this morning completely naked. He had carried her out of the bathtub without her
clothes on.
Furrowing her brows in annoyance, Nicole looked at Jared out of the corner of her eye. 'He did it on purpose, didn't
he?'
"Breakfast time." Jared, seemingly unfazed by her expression, calmly handed her a glass of milk.
Nicole bit her lip and ultimately decided to let it go.
She was not sure why, but she felt that if she pressed further, Jared's answer might be more than she could handle.
Jared was a shameless man after all.
