Chapter 2003
"Daddy and Mommy will take you guys out to play when we have the time," Nicole said dejectedly.
"Mommy is the best!" Lana cheered.
Meanwhile, Nolan glanced at Jared, revealing a hint of reluctance deep within. Needless to say, he preferred going
out with Lawrence.
Jared noticed the look on Nolan's face and felt a little helpless within. 'This little brat can never measure up to my
baby angel. Daughters are truly the best!'
The family chatted happily for a while after that, and when it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to
sleep.
After putting Nolan and Lana to bed, Nicole returned to her room, where she saw Jared looking out the window as if
he was thinking about something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe only turned to Nicole after he had heard some noises." Are they asleep?"
"Yeah," Nicole said in a tone of defeat. "They got too excited just now and it took them some time to fall asleep."
"You should go to bed now too," Jared advised, figuring that Nicole must have been exhausted following her abrupt
return to the Riddle Corporation.
"Sure." Nicole nodded.
Then, she asked, "What about you? Are you not going to sleep?"
But after uttering those words, she felt an instant pang of regret. 'What did I just say? It sounded as if I was asking
him to sleep with me.'
A subtle smile appeared on Jared's face as he playfully said, "I'm waiting for my lady's consent."
Feeling very embarrassed, she glared at Jared in annoyance. "Who's your lady? And what makes you think I care if
you're going to sleep or not? I'm going to bed now."
After saying that, Nicole laid down on the bed and pulled the blanket over to wrap herself tightly like a burrito.
Seeing that, Jared could not help but laugh. 'Look at how shy she became.'
He walked to his own bed, worried that cracking another joke at this moment would make her angrier, after which
he pulled the blanket over and lied down on the bed too. He was already glad that Nicole's attitude toward him had
changed. So, he had to appreciate it and not mess it up. He was in a rather good mood, and with that, he fell asleep
very soon after. However, that was not the case for Nicole.
Thinking about what happened earlier, Nicole felt her heart thumping uncontrollably as her cheeks were burning
hot.' What was wrong with me?'
Although she had decided to go with the flow, she was still surprised by how differently she had begun to treat Jared
in such a short span of time.
Her mind was in a mess. She tossed and turned, and her gaze coincidentally fell on Jared, who had fallen asleep.
Nicole looked at him, unable to help herself from biting her lip lightly. Although she could not remember him or
recall their past, she had started to trust him a little bit more after having spent a few days with him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe next morning, the rays of sunlight filtered in through the window.
Nicole had slept a little late last night, and Jared was already up by the time she was awake.
"You're awake." Nicole heard a gentle voice, and before she could realize what was happening, she could feel a light
kiss on her lips.
It was just a gentle peck, one that Nicole could not even react to, and before she knew it, Jared had already pulled
her out of the bed.
"Freshen up. Everyone's probably waiting for you to have breakfast," Jared ordered, doing everything so smoothly
as if it was perfectly natural for him.
Before she could realize it, Jared had already pulled her into the bathroom. Having allowed him to steal a kiss from
her frustrated her, as she did not manage to give Jared a warning about it.
She hurriedly washed her face and brushed her teeth. When she got changed, she realized that Jared was still there
waiting for her.
In response, she walked up to him and in a serious tone of voice, she said, "Don't ever do that again.”
"Do what?" Jared lifted his brows, looking a little mischievous.
Although she had a stern look on her face, Jared could tell that she was just faking it, and was not outraged by what
he had done.
