Chapter 2731

Author: Summer
"For your own sake, it's better not to ask," Patricia reprimanded.

She did not have answers to some of the questions he had posed, and even if she did, she did not reserve the right to tell him. The less he knew, the safer he would be.

Ellar's face blanched once he had heard Patricia's reply. "Don't you trust me?"

"You won't be of much help if you knew, and on top of that, it might put you in even more danger," Patricia admitted frankly, as she was not withholding information from him out of distrust.

In fact, she knew who Ellar truly was, and she trusted him because Nicole trusted him,

However, Ellar was still unwilling to back down. He did not understand what was going on, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he was. Now that he had the opportunity to gain some clarity on the issue, he wanted to seize it.

Patricia's eyes darkened as if she had read Ellar's thoughts. "If you don't have any other questions, you may stay and have lunch on your own."

    "Perhaps my actions today were too sudden, but this is the most genuine I've ever been with anyone. You can reject me, but I won't give in so easily," Ellar declared resolutely.What he felt for her, he had never felt with any other woman before. Indeed, Patricia was the only one who had made him feel this way before. He immediately knew she was unique the first time he saw her.He was set on not giving up after he had determined that his feelings for her were true. Since she did not have a boyfriend, he would make full use of his sincerity to win her over and make her accept him.Patricia simply looked at him in return, tongue-tied.She was truly at a loss on what to say, so she told him, "We're not compatible.""If you haven't tried, you'll never know. We haven't spent time together, so how sure are you that we're not compatible? As long as you don't already have a boyfriend, I won't give up," Ellar insisted.Patricia was helpless. She and Ellar were from completely different w

    Suddenly, he caught a fleeting glimpse of a knife hurtling toward Patricia, and in a flash, he lunged toward the attacker who was holding it, and knocked it out of his hand.Then, another one of the men grabbed Ellar's arm, prompting Patricia to give him a swift roundhouse kick before pulling Ellar back to her side.Patricia could instantly feel the pressure off her chest when Ellar was with her. Although Ellar knew next to nothing about combat, his reaction times were quick. If anything, the two went on to coordinate their defenses and hold their own without allowing their assailants to take advantage of their positioning."Captain!" Patricia let out a sigh of relief when she heard a familiar voice.Soon, two figures joined the fight, thus turning the tide against the men. The advantage even gave Patricia and Ellar the opportunity to retreat from the scene."Are you okay?" Ellar asked, his eyes brimming with concern.Patricia shook her head without uttering a word, her gaze fixe

    'I wasn't even using much strength. How did I end up tearing her sleeve?' Ellar wondered.Patricia's lips twitched, after which she forced herself to say, "It's fine."Then, she opened the first aid kit and brought the disinfectant and ointment out.Then, Ellar snapped out of it and went on to aid Patricia with her wounds, being exceedingly gentle with her while he was at it. It was inconvenient for Patricia to do it herself as she only had one good arm, so she resigned herself to Ellar's care. However, she also found his actions hilarious.Still, she had to bite her tongue and endure it due to Ellar's confession earlier. She did not want to give Ellar any false hope or lead him on, as she believed that they would not interact in the future anymore once this mission was over.After treating the wound, Ellar advised Patricia, "Be careful when you've gotten home. Don't let the wound get wet, remember to change the bandages, and get plenty of rest."Patricia listened to his barrage

    "It's okay. We can still trace them as long as we have some clues to work with," Nicole comforted Patricia.Patricia had provided her with some very useful information. In fact, it was an essential discovery. The next step would be to determine the direction of the investigation."I'll do it," Patricia said decisively.However, Nicole shook her head. "There's no rush. Just go home and get some rest. We'll decide after meeting up with Max and Charlie.""Well, I'll take a nap in the office," Patricia replied.She could rendezvous with Max and Charlie right after work if she stayed here. If she went home right now, she might have to wait until the next day, and she hardly had the patience for that.Nicole shook her head as she watched Patricia leave. She then called her secretary to make the necessary arrangements.After ending the call, she leaned back against her chair with a darkened gaze. 'Based on Patricia's analysis, I wonder where those men from.'It was almost the end of t

    "Okay, I'll wait for your updates then," Nicole replied."I'll take care of those men in San Joto," Max declared, determined and resolute.Nicole nodded in agreement before turning to Patricia. "You should get some rest. Let Max and Charlie deal with them for now.""Got it." Patricia nodded in response.Nicole then turned around, looked Jared in the eye, and smiled. "Let's go.""Sure," he softly replied, after which he walked her out of the office.Max and the others followed suit. Charlie was the first to exit the building, while Max and Patricia followed Jared and Nicole into the elevator."Patricia, go home and get some sleep. Take care of your injury. You don't have to come to work tomorrow," Nicole said."I really am fine. I can work as usual tomorrow." Patricia shook her head, refusing to take a break.Her minor injury was not a big deal, and considering the uncertainty surrounding this entire situation, Nicole might not be out of the woods. After all, those men had targ

    Having said that, Patricia turned around and began walking away.Although her injury was not severe, she still wanted to take a good rest and wake up early the next day. She needed to be extra vigilant and alert during work tomorrow.As she was about to leave, Ellar reached out and grabbed her.However, he had made the mistake of seizing her by the arm which had been injured, causing Patricia to grimace and cry out, "Ow!"She winced as her bad arm was in tremendous pain, and pulled away from Ellar's grasp.Realizing that he had caused her pain, he immediately released her with a remorseful look on his face. "Sorry for hurting you. Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?""Never mind." Patricia said, dumbfounded and speechless.Going to the hospital would be totally unnecessary. It was just a brief moment of pain, not something severe enough to warrant a visit to the ward."I'll take you home." Ellar pulled her into his car.He was still worried sick for her, as she had ref

    However, precautions were necessary and they still had to be on guard for the foreseeable future.Jared gently held Nicole's hand and looked at her with a tender and comforting gaze. In return, she smiled as a sense of happiness rippled from within her heart.Upon arriving at the Riddle residence, they saw that Tia had also just brought Nolan and Lana home."Mommy! Daddy!""Hello, Mr. Johnston and Nicole," Tia greeted.The kids ran up to Nicole and Jared, with Tia following them from behind.Nicole patted their heads affectionately as she smiled. "You're back.""Mommy, tomorrow is the parent-child event. Will you and Daddy be there?" Lana tilted her head and asked with a hint of anticipation in her voice."Of course we'll be there." Nicole smiled and promised.Indeed, she could not bear the idea of disappointing her two little cuties."Yay!" Lana cheered, and waved her little hands in excitement.Nicole held Nolan and Lana's hands with a smile and brought them into the house

    "Stanley, what are you doing?" Gloria asked when she saw Stanley texting someone with his head lowered.'Why is Stanley so absentminded? First, he was busy daydreaming and now he's looking at his phone. Is something bothering him?' Gloria wondered."Mom, I need to go out for a while. There's something I need to take care of," Stanley said as he got up.He could only help Cherry out as he had promised to do so from the very beginning. Therefore, he could not go back on his word."What's going on with him?" Daniel asked, puzzled by his son's behavior as well."Who knows. He's acting strange, that's for sure." Gloria sighed in defeat."Dad, Mom? Stanley can handle his own issues," Nicole comforted them, not wanting them to worry about him.She believed that Stanley must have felt something very different, which in turn made him uneasy. All she could do now was hope that he could figure his feelings out. Only then would things return to normal.After Stanley had left, he immediatel

    "Let's go, it's time to head down. The ceremony will start soon."The group laughed and talked as they left the bridal suite. Jared and his friends, Spencer and Preston, were also guided out by everyone.Now, only the family of four remained in the bridal suite, getting ready for their big entrance."Mommy, it's almost time. Let's get ready," Nolan said, pulling on Nicole's hand.Nicole gently patted Nolan and Lana's cheeks, whispering, "Okay."As she made to stand, Jared extended his hand toward her. Lifting her gaze, she caught Jared in a moment of elegance, his charm unmistakable. A smile bloomed on her face as she placed her hand in his.With a gentle tug, Jared drew her up, his touch tender against her palm.In a swift move, he pulled Nicole into his arms, his other hand circling her waist to pull her close.As Jared looked at Nicole, admiration shimmered in his eyes.

    Nicole laughed off the debate between Lulu and June, saying, "Both are lovely. I'm happy with either."Both sets of jewelry were beautiful, and she felt that either would do."Exactly. Nicole will shine in anything," Cindy said, picking a set. "Let's go with this one."Lulu gave June a victorious look. "Told you this was the one."Cindy then suggested, "Why not wear this for the ceremony and switch for the reception? That way, we use both.""Great idea," June agreed, smiling at Cindy's suggestion.Nicole smiled. "Sounds perfect."With everyone agreeing, the stylist went ahead with preparing Nicole.Lulu watched Nicole, amazed by how calm she seemed. "Aren't you a bit nervous?" she asked. Lulu remembered her own wedding jitters.Nicole bit her lip, a hint of nerves showing. "I'm more excited than anything," she admitted.She had been looking forward to this day, ready to face the future with Jared with hope and joy."Just finished," the stylist announced, stepping back to adm

    "Do you think I don't want to meet someone? I just haven't found the right person," Gary said somewhat resignedly. He had long regarded Nicole as just a friend."Why don't we just try the dates our families set up?" Ryder suggested, calm and collected. He figured since finding someone on his own wasn't working, maybe arranged dates could help. In their circles, it seemed like good matches were meant to be."Arranged dates don't sound great. You hardly know the person. Are we really okay with deciding to spend our lives together like that?" Preston wasn't too keen on the idea."Emery's doing pretty well with it, you know," Ryder said confidently. "I trust our families. They wouldn't set us up with someone terrible. They've probably made sure we'd be a good match."Gary thought it over. "You might be right. Our families aren't just trying to make deals; they want us to be happy."As Gary and Ryder seemed more into the idea, Preston was still unsure. "You guys are serious?""Why not

    Jared held Nicole close and looked at her. "After we get married, we'll move to the estate," he said.Their future home would be just theirs.He thought it was good for Nicole to spend more time with her family since she hadn't been with them for five years. But they knew they would move to the estate later."Okay," Nicole said, nodding. She was happy Jared made the estate close to her family, so she was okay with moving.Jared gently touched her hair and kissed her...****Time flew, and soon it was Nicole and Jared's wedding day.From the morning, San Joto was alive with excitement. Everyone was talking about Jared and Nicole's wedding.Politicians, business leaders, close friends, and business partners all came to wish the couple well.The Riddles were busy welcoming the guests, making everything look amazing."Patricia, hurry up, Charlie's here," Ellar called out as he spotted Charlie. He quickly got Patricia to come and greet him. Max, hearing the fuss, came over too.C

    "You really need to rest. You shouldn't work for the next few days. Stay home and rest. A bride has to look her best," Gloria said, looking at Nicole and making the decision for her."Bride!" Nicole was surprised because she hadn't talked about any wedding yet."Yes, now that everything is settled, it's time for your wedding with Jared," Gloria said, deciding firmly. She used to think it was best for the kids to decide for themselves, but after several delays, she felt waiting longer made no sense. The wedding should happen soon."I was thinking that too," Jared said. They had planned the wedding after solving the Everett problem, but then they found out Lawrence had hurt Nicole in the past, causing more delays. Now, with everything sorted out, they saw no reason to wait. The wedding was the next big step.Nicole looked at Jared and, with a smile, agreed, "Okay." Their wedding had been waiting for five years; it was time, with no need to wait any longer."That's so cool, I'm the f

    Patricia felt a mix of reluctance and happiness as she prepared to part ways with Charlie.Jared glanced at Charlie and said, "It's about time for us to board." He tenderly held Nicole's hand and led her toward the boarding gate."I need to go through the boarding procedures too," Patricia said, biting her lip. "You must find happiness as well.""I will," Charlie assured her with a gentle smile, giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "You've grown up, too. You don't need to cling to me anymore. I believe Ellar will take great care of you."Patricia nodded, then, leaning closer to Charlie, she whispered, 'When Mr. Johnston and Ms. Riddle get married, make sure you bring my future sister-in-law back with you.' Caught off guard, Charlie playfully scolded her, "You little rascal."Doretta, standing not too far away, overheard Patricia's whispered words. Her cheeks turned even redder."Let's go," Patricia announced, then turned to Doretta, adding, "We'll meet again.""Goodbye,

    Lying in bed with Nicole cradled in his arms, Jared whispered gently, "Sleep for a bit.""Mhm." Finally feeling at peace, Nicole smiled slightly, and she quickly fell asleep.As Jared listened to her soft breathing, his eyes softened with affection, and he too closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.The next morning, as the group got ready to head back to San Joto, Zane and Doretta came to say goodbye."I still have things to finish here, but I promise to be at your wedding," Zane said with a big smile."And I'll be there to wish you well, Nicole," Doretta added.Saying goodbye is always hard, but everyone knew they had their own journeys to continue."Great, we'll see you in San Joto," Nicole said with a bright smile."It's time to go," Zane said, knowing they couldn't wait any longer without risking missing their plane."I've got the paperwork," Patricia said, ready to help with the travel documents for Jared and Nicole. Then, looking at Charlie, she asked, "Need help with

    Nicole was quiet, thinking about everything. 'If I hadn't remembered everything, maybe Lawrence and I could have stayed friends. But after finding out about the airport, it's impossible...'Not only had she regained her memory, but she had also learned about the airport incident. Lawrence had gone to great lengths to prevent her from returning to San Joto."Thanks for saving me before, but you also hurt me. We're even now," Nicole said calmly, looking at Lawrence like he was someone she didn't know anymore.Jared squeezed Nicole's hand gently. "Let's go."They decided to leave the rest to Zane and head back."Wait." Lawrence's voice stopped Nicole. He sounded almost like he was begging. "Please, don't tell Nolan about this."Nicole paused, then said, "I won't tell him. Not for you, but because I don't want Nolan to see how bad people can be."With that, Nicole walked away with Jared.Lawrence sat down, watching her leave, with mixed feelings."Let's go too," Patricia said to C

    "Your robots don't work anymore," a voice said, sounding very pleased. Then, a person came out from behind the crowd, looking pretty proud of himself."Carl!" Nicole was shocked to see him. 'It's Carl!'"It's been a while." Carl smiled and waved at Nicole.Carl had come as soon as Zane told him about the problem. He couldn't just do nothing when Nicole needed help.He didn't expect them to act so soon, which is why he was a little late. But he was still in time to help. Carl was surprised by Lawrence's robots at first, but luckily, the weapons he brought, which he had been working on for years, stopped the robots. This was a big help to everyone."We really need to thank Carl; we would have been in big trouble without him," Zane said, feeling relieved.Zane had asked Carl for help, hoping it would make them more likely to win, but Carl ended up being very important."Thank you," Nicole said with a warm smile. It was nice to see an old friend again."No need to thank me. I'm jus
