The overall time Nicole had spent, including the waiting time it took for the food to be served, as well as the time she had spent interacting with others, did not exceed 20 minutes.Nachelle was left perplexed for a moment as she was the director and the host for the night. She was taken aback by the fact that Nicole had made such comments about the food and would attempt to leave just like that.Lloyd, who was looking at Nicole, felt a surge of pain in his temples. 'Nicole has always been like this. In the past, no matter how important the person was, she would just walk out on them if they piss her off. My mother had employed an aggressive tone when talking to Nicole. She must've been fed up with it.'"Okay, let me see you off," Lloyd said."Lloyd Holder!!!" Nachelle belted, unable to believe her eyes and ears as she watched her son offering to see Nicole off.'How shameless of him!' she fumed."Mom, please take your time to enjoy your meal. I'm almost done with mine, so I'll
Lloyd looked at Jared before mustering up his courage to speak. "This is a part of the job. Besides, it's late. I was worried that she might be hungry."Jared smiled, "There's no need for you to worry about whether my fiancé is hungry or not. I will bring her out when she's hungry.'Jared went on to bop Nicole's nose and give her an Eskimo's kiss. "Next time, when you're hungry, please tell me. I'll bring something delicious for you."Nicole smiled as she thought, 'He's jealous, but then again, he looks kind of cute.'"Let us go. Bye Lloyd."Not wanting to linger, Nicole quickly bade farewell to Lloyd. Once again, Lloyd could only stand there helplessly as he watched Nicole and Jared driving off together. His eyes darkened.'I've put in so much effort just so Nicole could notice me but...up until now, Nicole has never viewed me as a man. She only has her eyes on him. Perhaps it's because we haven't seen each other in a long time, and that was what led them into meeting each other
Jared would not let go of Nicole until she had arrived at the entrance of the Riddle's residence. When they had arrived, Nicole's hair was a little messy, and her lipstick had been smudged.Jared helped her out by wiping the smudges on the corners of her mouth before planting another kiss on her forehead."I'll stay in the house next to yours tonight," Jared said."Huh? What do you mean?" Nicole was taken aback."I've moved into our new home."Upon saying that, Jared motioned Nicole to take a look at the house they had planned to live in after their wedding. The lights at the house were already on.Nicole felt a surge of warmth radiating through her chest as she thought, 'We're one step closer...'"If you have not eaten dinner...I would have asked you out for supper." Jared pouted coquettishly.Nicole had never seen Jared acting this way, perhaps except when he was asleep, during which he would look like a baby."I didn't eat much earlier, I just nibbled on some food."Catchi
"Since when has he become so generous?" she asked."No, I bought this for my girlfriend. Why should I let other people pay for it?" Jared arrogantly said.Even if the two robots were Carl's pretentious wedding gift for the two of them, Jared would not have agreed to the proposal so easily.Nicole smiled wryly. 'This dude really is full of himself, but I like it.'After all, Nicole had gotten used to Jared's arrogance by now. The two of them sat down while sipping on the coffee brought over by the robot.Nicole took a sip on the coffee and to her surprise, 'It tastes exactly like the coffee Jared makes for me!'"How does it taste like? Does it taste like the coffee I always brew?" he asked.Nicole raised her eyebrows. "The taste is very similar!"Jared pursed his lips proudly. "Of course it's similar, I have keyed in all of the ratios."Nicole smiled. "This way, we'll both be able to sit down and have coffee together in the future.""Yeah," Jared said before taking another sip
Jared's expression showed obvious disappointment, but he knew that Nicole must have been exhausted, and thus, he replied, "Okay. I'll send you to school from now on."Nicole hesitated for a moment. However, after noting that her brothers would probably not mind this, she smiled sweetly and said, "Okay."Jared got up contentedly and walked Nicole out the door. Though their mansions were right next to each other, with their villas located adjacent to one another's, the distance between them was still quite far. The sides of the road were patched over with the front gardens of the two mansions, and the lighting on the street was very bright too. The two of them walked took a stroll on the pavement like a couple, hand in hand.Nicole noticed that the scenery in front of their house was breathtaking and magnificent, and as they arrived at the Riddle Residence, Nicole felt that the walk home was far too short.She looked at Jared with reluctance and said, "You should get back home quickl
Due to the circumstances at hand, Stanley needed to use one of the cars at home, leaving only one car in the house, which was Nicole's car. Unfortunately, they could not drive their younger sister's car to school.At that moment, Nicole was already waiting for Jared outside. It did take him a while to drive out, but as soon as he did, Nicole immediately got into the car.Jared became a little suspicious as to why Nicole was already up so early. "Why did you come out so early?""I was looking forward to seeing you," Nicole replied with a sweet smile, having no intention to hide her feelings.Noticing Nicole acting so cutely, Jared could not resist himself. "Okay. In that case, I'll come over earlier to wait for you tomorrow."No, it's okay. You're really busy every day and you often go to bed very late at night. You can sleep in for a bit," Nicole said thoughtfully."Sleep is not as important as you are." Jared replied after thinking long and hard. 'As long as I can spend more tim
Nicole turned to look at Jared. "Do I really not have to care about what they think?"Jared thought about his uncles and cousins, and that was when he burst out in a fit of mocking laughter. "Of course. The more you care, the more tired you will be. So, why bother caring that much? It's lonely when you've reached the highest point of success with no real friends around, anyway. Thing crumble easily at that point.Upon hearing Jared talking about his experiences, Nicole's heart immediately felt at ease.'If one wants to achieve their best capabilities, one must be strong enough to undertake the challenges by themselves, head on,' Nicole thought, as she was already accustomed to this sort of life"Thank you," Nicole said, and let out a huge sigh of relief.She was grateful that Jared had helped her with sorting her concerns out."You're welcome." Jared stroked her hair, making her feel even more relaxed than she was.After that, the pair remained silent until they arrived at the s
"I- Uhh... I-" Bradley was still out of breath, but he quickly checked on Nicole. Seeing that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank god you're fine..."When Lulu and June noticed how panicked Bradley was, they glanced at each other."Bradley, you seem strange..." Lulu raised her eyebrows, full of doubt. It was as if she made a huge discovery.It was only then that Bradley realized he had lost his composure. So, he immediately said, "I'm not. I'm just genuinely worried about Nicole."As he finished speaking, Bradley walked past Lulu while panicking and returned to his seat.Lulu and June could not help but laugh.However, Nicole did not bother about them. She looked at all three of them seriously. "Anyways, thank you all for caring about me but I'm really fine. It was Chloe who got into trouble."Lulu nodded. "That's great. For a moment, we thought that if our award-winning actress got into trouble, you would be affected too."Thank God you're fine. But it seems like
