Nicole could immediately sense a sort of palpable tension in the air, so she steered the direction of the conversation away. "He's too young to know anything...He recognized him as a fatherly figure."Niki said it lightly, knowing that it was true that her son had realized that he did not have a father once he was old enough to go to kindergarten at the age of three. Thus, Leo became his fatherly figure and, ever since then, Nolan had been calling him his godfather. Furthermore, everyone even thought that Leo was his real father."Oh?" Jared grimaced, still displeased at the thought before switching his focus on Nolan.'This brat bit me when we first met. I still have his teeth marks on my legs. I can't believe he easily trusted a random guy enough to call him his godfather!' he fumed.Nolan, who felt that he was being stared at, suddenly opened his eyes and screamed, "Godfather! Help me!"Hearing the screams of her son, she hurried over and hugged him. "Nolan! What's wrong with y
Witnessing Preston's expression of surprise, he became even more depressed.Preston, who could sense that something was wrong, warily asked, "Why do you have that look on your face? Is there something wrong?""I'm afraid we can't notify your parents yet," Jared said."Why?"'Nicole's home, shouldn't informing our parents be our first order of business?' Preston asked himself.Jared's eyes became downcast. "Nicole has lost all of her memories."Preston's face took on a crestfallen expression at once. "Amnesia?!"It took a while for him to come back to his senses, as he then came to the realization as to why Nicole had fled after seeing them. 'But why does she seem to be intimidated by us? I bet that if she sees her family, she'll be even more afraid...'"Then what should we do?" Preston asked, unable to wait to tell Daniel the good news."Did you tell the others?" Jared asked.Preston shook his head. "I wasn't completely sure if it was Nicole, and I was afraid to get Daniel's
With so many creepy occurrences repeating themselves over and over, Niki decided that she could not take it anymore.She lifted her head and looked at Jared awkwardly. "Uh...You know that I've lost my memories. I'm sorry to ask but what kind of beef did we have before?"Jared raised his brows by a little. "Rivalry?"'What is this girl thinking about?'Jared had been waiting for her for five years. He could not wait to shower her with all his love, so it made no sense as to why she would regard him as an enemy."If that's not the case, why did you make such a huge scene and abduct us at the airport?"With the appearance of his entire crew earlier that day, anyone who had witnessed it would have thought that they were enemies too.In response, the corner of Jared's lips lifted in a funny way.Strangely, it was then that Niki actually thought that he looked...handsome. She must have been insane to have found herself being attracted to the man for his looks multiple times."To put
"Nicole, let me tell you this. Regardless of whether you've lost your memory or not, you'll be mine for the rest of your life. You belong to Jared Johnston! If you even dare to think about another man, your lips won't be the next thing to hurt."As soon as he had spoken, he studied Nicole from top to toe.Niki began sweating profusely at once. She could not help but feel that Jared had gained a complete understanding of her body."You rascal!"That feeling of being sized up made Nicole feel insulted. Having lost her appetite, she got up and was about to leave when Jared grabbed her hand, pulling her back and pinning her to her seat."If you do not want me to do it again, you better sit down and finish your meal!" he roared."You-" she stopped, thinking he was unbelievable.Niki looked at Jared sadly. Although she knew some self-defense techniques, the injury she had sustained from that plane crash was a major one. Her body was heavily wounded, and because of that, she could not
After thinking about it for a second, Niki could not help but stare at the folder.Meanwhile, Nolan had also noticed the document she had brought in. "Mommy, what is this?"Niki took a deep breath and patiently went on to explain what it was to her son."That devil knows that I've lost my memory. So, he passed me some information about the old me. I guess he's trying to make me recall my debt from the past," she said.Niki's sixth sense informed her that there must be some unpleasant news contained within the document.The instant Nolan heard Niki's reply, he snatched the document away at once, "If that's the case, let's not look at it! Godpa has said this before, that he does not want you to regain your memory. Living a carefree life like the one we have now is the best!"This stunned Niki, who was not expecting Nolan to mention what Leo had said before. For the past five years, Niki had thought of regaining her memories. She had even tried to look for any information about hers
At that thought, Jared began fuming as he was on the verge of erupting out of jealousy.He immediately called Max on the phone, "I want you to glean every single detail about Nicole over the past five years. Also, pay close attention to signs of other guys by her side."Max immediately understood what Jared meant, and so, he solemnly replied, "I will definitely find out!"It was only then that Jared ended the call.Then, he looked up at the butler and heaved a long sigh. "Throw it away."The butler looked at Jared in distress. Ever since Nicole had gone missing, Jared had been suffering from insomnia. He thought that he could finally get some good sleep, now that Nicole had returned. But that night would most probably be another sleepless one as well."Sir, get some rest," the butler said, took those papers with him, and left.Jared was left alone in the room as he pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to relieve his headache.In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Niki
Niki was unable to determine why a cloud of sadness was hovering over her as she watched those ladies.Then, her nose began to itch. 'What is going on? Do I... know those two ladies?'"Mommy, why are you crying?" Nolan asked, his voice blaring out beside her.It was only then that Niki realized that tears were streaming down her cheeks. "Don't worry. I think the sun is too bright for my eyes."After she had spoken, Niki quickly carried her cup of coffee into the room.When Nolan noticed her mom crying, he quickly comforted, "Mommy, are you afraid? Don't be afraid. That big bad wolf would not do anything to us."Niki turned around and looked at his son in relief. Fortunately, Nolan was there with her, ensuring that she would not be lonely."Mommy is not afraid. I have you with me. What should I be scared of?" she answered, deriving her strength from both of her children.But the thought of Lana being left at home made Niki worried.Although her daughter was quite clingy, she ha
"We are not burdens!" Nolan yelled, unhappy that he was labeled as a burden. "Godpa loves me and Lana a lot! The two of us are your best allies! If we didn't work together, Godpa would have been seduced by that red shirt lady already!"Niki felt dizzy as Nolan bombarded her with all of that information."Alright, stop talking nonsense now. What do you mean allies or seduce? Nolan, you better stop watching the eight o'clock shows!"As it turned out, the boy had already learned all of those negative influences."I am not talking nonsense! Godpa likes you so much! Why did you have to reject him!" Nolan got angrier as he spoke, wanting to understand what Niki's thoughts were.It was then that they heard a loud bang, and the room door swung open. Standing at the doorway was a slender and tall figure with a cold presence.Then, the man tucked one of his hands in his pocket and walked in sternly. "Let me tell you why."Once the guy had spoken, he immediately went up to Niki, hugged her
