Chapter 1828
Suddenly, the living room turned silent. Tia became so sensitive to her surroundings that she could actually hear
her own heartbeat, "Mr. Riddle..."
She wanted to speak, but she had no idea what to say.
Stanley carefully looked at the blisters on her fingers and mumbled under his breath, "We've got to take care of this
as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's going to hurt a lot."
"Okay...ouch," Tia nodded but she frowned when Stanley touched her wound with the cotton swab.
'TH be gentler," Stanley's voice sounded so warm, that it instantly calmed Tia down.
'What's going on... I already have somebody else on my mind... But why is my heart beating like crazy now that Mr.
Riddle cares for me?'
Tia felt very awkward. She did not dare to speak, and she even almost stopped breathing.
She only opened her mouth after Stanley applied the gel to her fingers and patched her up, "Thank you, Mr.
Riddle."

Tia immediately nodded and she was relieved.
'Ah, Mr. Riddle is only treating me as his little sister. I'm so glad."
"I'll go back to the room now then. I guess grandma is going to sleep soon."
"Sure," Stanley nodded and watched Tia leave.
Stanley got a little worried as he looked at Tia's back...
He wondered to himself, 'What's up with me? Was I doing too much....?'
At night, Nicole took a shower and went to her bed. She had no idea why, but she felt a little nervous when she
thought about how her family was finally going to meet with Jared's family tomorrow even though everything was
already planned.
She just could not help but feel perturbed when she was about to get married for real.
Then, she received a call from Lloyd.
Nicole hesitated, but she did not answer it.
She received an apology text on WhatsApp from Lloyd very soon after that.
Lloyd sounded very sincere, but Nicole did not budge at all.
Nicole knew that she had to toughen up, or she would only get his expectations up. She figured the best thing to do
was to not give him any hope.
Lloyd gave her another call sometime later and Nicole took her time to answer the call.
Lloyd heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the call connected.
"Nicole, I'm sorry," Even though he said sorry through WhatsApp, he still wanted to express his deepest apologies to
Nicole properly.
"Forget it," Nicole thought that he should be responsible for his actions.
Lloyd kept quiet for a while before he nodded and said, "Okay. After all, you helped me this time, but I ruined
everything myself... You don't owe me anything."
He would feel very awful whenever he thought about how Nicole said that she was going to compensate him in
some other way.
He did not want Nicole to treat him like a stranger again.
Nicole kept quiet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLloyd continued, "The production team agreed to let Jared pull out his investment and they're fine with you not
participating in the show anymore, but...’
Lloyd stuck on the last word he said and sighed, "To me, Lukewarm only has one female lead, and that's you. So,
I'm not going to erase any scenes that you've filmed. Even though the length won't be long enough to produce a
television series. Lukewarm will be aired as a movie instead."
Nicole frowned as she was not expecting Lloyd to be so stubborn.
"I want to keep the good memories we had in this show. You won't blame me for doing this, right?" Lloyd asked
fondly.
Nicole responded indifferently, "Whatever."
Lloyd's heart sank, 'I guess what I did hurt Nicole very deeply but... I really love her, and I just couldn't help myself.
Am I wrong for being in love?
He forced a smile by suppressing his sadness, "Thank you. I'm still going to email you whatever I found out
recently... Don't worry."
Nicole shook her head, "It's fine. Jared is already on it."
Lloyd gave her some useful leads before, but Nicole believed that Jared could take care of the rest.
"B-but..." Llyod still wanted to say something.
