Chapter 2004
Nicole glared at Jared the second he asked her that question. He was obviously playing dumb, and she did not
believe that he did not know what she meant.
"You're well aware of that," she said through gritted teeth.
"Like this?" Jared extended his long arms and pulled her in by her waist, before planting a kiss on her lips.
This time, he did not just give her a peck. His domineering presence was so strong that it felt as though he was
going to devour her.
Nicole attempted to break free, but Jared had already locked her in his arms, denying her the chance to escape.
Then, they heard a knock at the door.
"Are you awake, Mommy?" an adorable voice asked in concern.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole recollected herself and pushed Jared away. While Jared was distracted, Nicole had already backed away by a
few steps. Her heart was racing, but she did not have the time to calm down. She simply righted her clothes and
opened the door when she saw her darling children outside.
"Mommy, it's time for breakfast. Everyone's waiting for you," Nolan reminded her as he looked up.
"Alright, let's eat." Nicole said, her heart still pounding in her chest, though she was trying her best to not show it.
Jared, who was ready to toss all restraint out of the window a few seconds ago, calmed down as well. His self-
control was nowhere to be found whenever he was with Nicole.
"Daddy, aren't you joining us?" Lana asked. 'Mommy and Nolan have already left, but why is Daddy still here? He
looks like he has something on his mind.'
Jared's heart melted when he saw how considerate Lana was.
He held her up and said, "Okay, let's go now."
"Sure." Lana wrapped her arms around his neck lovingly as she nodded.
Jared took Lana downstairs to the dining room, where everyone had already gathered. They had left a spot for
Jared next to Nicole, and that was where he took a seat.
His sudden approach gave Nicole a panic attack for a minute there, as she tried her best to avoid any eye contact
with him. She knew exactly what had happened just now, and there was a moment when she found her heart and
mind spiraling out of control.
'Nope. Jared should move back to the estate. Every second with him is dangerous. If this continues, I'm afraid I
won't be able to control myself, even before I regain all of my memories,' she concluded.
But the instant she thought of what her parents' reaction to Jared leaving would be, especially her mother's, Nicole
became hesitant.
Jared's eyes lit up when he saw how she acted around him. She was afraid to look at him. 'What is she hiding? Is

After their breakfast, everyone returned to their own lives.
"Dad, I'll go with you today," Nicole called out the moment she saw him leaving.
"What's wrong?" Daniel asked, a little taken aback as his eyes wandered to Jared.
'Jared usually takes Nicole to work, so why is she asking to join me today? Did something happen between them?'
Daniel asked himself.
"It's about Uncle Dexter’s company. I want to talk to you about it." Nicole explained, coming up with a random
excuse to dispel everyone's assumptions before they could even be uttered.
Then, Daniel nodded and replied, "Alright. He's waiting for your updates too."
"Let's go then." Nicole said, eager to leave as soon as her father had agreed.
It was a compelling and legitimate reason, so no one gave it much of a thought. However, Jared was cognizant of
what was going on as he stared at Nicole without exposing her.
He knew that Dexter needed some help with his company.1 But even if it has something to do with work, can't they
talk about it in the office? Do they really have to talk about it on their way to work?'
