Jared smiled adoringly as he watched her exaggerated expressions. "Let's eat."The local food were teeming with unique flavors, so he was worried that she would not be used to it. "We'll eat something else if it's not to your taste.""Sure." Nicole nodded and continued eating gracefully.At that moment, she smelled something she did not like again, causing her to pinch her nose and turn away.Jared was certain of his gut feeling when he saw her doing that again.However, he was more concerned about her health. "Which dish do you not like? I'll get them to take it away."Nicole quickly pointed at the fish, prompting Jared to summon the waiter and order him to remove it. As soon as that was done, Nicole finally felt better.The instant he noticed that she was feeling better, he teased, "Seems like my baby doesn't like fish."Nicole's cheeks flushed. "That's nonsense!"However, he could tell that she retained a look of guilt on her face. Jared was too observant, and she was afrai
Jared pulled her to the bed and laid down with her as they gazed at the stars.Nicole had never felt so at ease before. She felt as if they were the only people left in the world.Jared closed his eyes and held her in his arms as soon as he saw how relaxed she was. "From now on, you're mine and mine alone."Nicole looked up at him. "Haven't I always been yours?"Jared opened his eyes and said, in a slightly sulky tone, "You're mine, but there will always be pesky flies around you. From today onwards, they are nothing to us."Jared was as happy as a child when he thought about this.This prompted Nicole to look at him affectionately. "You love seeing green, don't you?"Jared looked deep into her eyes. "I only get jealous because of you."He then kissed her slowly, an act which she did not resist.With bright stars in the sky and waves in the sea, it was destined to be a romantic night for them.During the next day, Nicole woke up in the afternoon. Although Jared had attempted
Nicole knew that she could not change his mind, and thus, she stopped talking about it.And in a gentle tone of voice, Jared added, "However, since you've been behaving so well today, I'll give in."Nicole smiled. "Good."Jared felt great when he saw that Nicole was happy.He had completely given his heart to this young woman, and he would be happy as long as she was happy.After their breakfast, Jared began planning their trip to Ramania. This time, they made their way to a heliport and took a helicopter straight to Ramania.The journey from Panem to Ramania featured amazing sceneries. Naturally, Nicole and Jared looked out of the window and enjoyed the view until dusk descended upon them. They landed in Ramania only at night. As for Ramania, it was a country that was usually busy at night, and so, the nightlife scene had just begun when the couple arrived.Jared looked at her. "This is not the honeymoon that I had planned. But since we're here, let's experience the nightlife."
Nicole was pleased to see Jared complimenting her like that.She thought their relationship would change after they had been married, and indeed, it had evolved to become even cheesier. However, she had also managed to pick something up.While eating, she asked, "You have something else in mind coming here, don't you?"Even if they were just going there for a meal, Jared would not have chosen such an ostentatious place.Jared looked at with a deep-set gaze. "Oh, my wife knows me too well."He did not go there just because of the meal. He wanted to meet someone too.While he was thinking about it, someone showed up on the floor, with the staff members showing him the way at once.Both Nicole and Jared turned to see the approaching guest. The man was in a suit and had sunglasses on.He gradually took his sunglasses off when he saw Jared, exposing his pair of sapphire blue eyes."Are you the CEO of the Johnston Group?" he asked in the Ramanian language fluently.The man looked s
"Well then, nice working with you in advance." Lawrence raised his glass and chuckled.Lawrence then looked at Nicole, suddenly finding her familiar. "And this is..."Jared smiled. "My wife."Lawrence averted his gaze and responded, "I see. You're a young and promising man, and your wife is extremely beautiful. What a match made in heaven."However, Jared did not really like how Lawrence looked at Nicole."Thanks," he responded flatly.Judging by the coldness in Jared's response, Lawrence could tell that he did not want to talk about Nicole any further.As such, he reverted to talking about business. "What do you need me to find?"Jared turned to him with a serious look and said, "The Braves that were produced by the Curley Group."Lawrence's hands jerked upon hearing that. It was obvious that Jared had asked the right person. He knew that some of the local big shots probably had a hand in the operation when he could not find any traces of the Braves.He would not have known
'Sadly, there's only one of her in this world.'Lawrence turned as he breathed an inaudible sigh..Feeling very upset, Jared held Nicole in his arms as he looked toward Lawrence's direction. "Stay away from that man."Nicole looked at him in response. "Can you stop being so jealous for no reason?"'This is our first meeting with him, and Jared is seeing green already?!' she thought."I don't like the way he looks at you." Jared replied, knowing that gaze far too well.Lawrence was concealing his desire to have Nicole to himself. Besides, to see through Lawrence's intentions was no easy feat."Well, we'll leave right after he has located the Braves for us, and we won't ever have to see him again," she said.Nicole just thought that Jared was simply being paranoid."Okay. I think he'll give us an answer by tomorrow," he replied.As long as Lawrence wished to collaborate with the Johnston Group and not upset Nicole, he would get everything done to their satisfaction."Alrighty
"You..." Jared felt something cold on his wrist. "What are you doing?""Giving you a hand in the art of self-control." Nicole smiled devilishly. "These are the handcuffs that I always carry with me wherever I go. It's been some time since I used it, and it just so happens that it will come in handy for your training."Then, she looped the handcuffs around the bedframe and cuffed both of Jared's hands before pulling a blanket over him."Hey, Nicole, don't you think this is too much?"'How could this woman think of such a way to keep me under control?!''This is torture!'"This is nothing compared to the beast in you that I've had to deal with every night." Nicole then yawned and laid next to him, slowly caressing his chest with the hand!Still able to feel her touch through his pajamas, Jared clenched his jaw as his heart burned with desire."You won't let me touch you, and yet you're touching me?" Jared protested, unable to hold it in anymore.Nicole chuckled. "Of course. You'
Jared saw his work of art on her neck and that was when he became satisfied, so he let her go.Nicole was furious. "Jerk!"She did not fight back because she did not want to put any strain on her abdomen, but Jared still left her with two hickeys nonetheless."If you come up with crazy ideas like this again, I won't go easy on you." Jared then quickly got down from the bed.Above anything, he was worried that he would act on his impulses again.Nicole noticed something as she watched Jared strutting off to take a shower. 'How is this man so energetic?'She sighed and went off to freshen up as well.Then, the both of them shared breakfast together in front of a floor-to-ceiling window.While they were thinking about when they would receive updates from Lawrence, Jared's phone rang."Mr. Johnston, I've sent you what you've asked for. Check your phone."Delighted to hear that, Jared said, "Okay, thanks."Lawrence nodded. "My pleasure. But you don't have much time. They seem to
