Chapter 283


    Jared ced the clean dishes into the cab. He then heard Nicole’s confused voice, “Why don’t you


    use the dishwasher?”


    She noticed the dishwasher in the kitchen thest time she came, but Jared did not seem to like using it.

    Jared’s fingers froze for a moment before putting thest te away as if nothing had happened. Then


    only did he turn around to dry his hands while saying indifferently, “I always feel like doing things by hand


    makes me feel more at home.”


    Nicole was startled. She did not expect such an answer. This answer seemed a little strangeing


    from a man like Jared Johnston. However, it was oddly fitting at the same time.


    For instance, the id apron tied to his waist. The red and ck Scottish style was not intended for him,


    yet it looked elegant on him. When Jared noticed Nicole’s silence, he turned around and walked toward


    her with slight worry in his eyes.


    “Not feeling well?”


    Nicole chuckled. She was just thinking about something and spaced out, “I’m not that weak.”


    She was not lying; her physique was definitely top tier. ‘I’m all better now after being unconscious for only


    a while. I’m fine.’ she thought. Jared frowned disapprovingly. He wanted to say something, but Nicole


    had turned around and was headed upstairs, “Good night, Jared.” ‘Since he’s worried about me, I’ll sleep


    earlier.’ she thought. Jared watched her retreating figure and smiled. It looked warm under the glow of


    the dim yellow wallmp. He suddenly had the illusion that she belonged here.


    He thought of what he had just said and gently held the fingers on his right hand.


    Just as he stood unmoving, the woman upstairs suddenly stopped moving. She had an indifferent


    expression, yet her gaze toward Jared was incredibly gentle. “You should sleep early too. By the way,


    you look good in this apron.” She said before walking to her room, leaving Jared looking at his apron


    resignedly.


    “I’ll wear it more since she likes it.’ he thought.


    The following morning, Nicole woke up early. She did not want Jared’s mansion’s strategic location to go


    to waste, so she did her morning exercise to her heart’s content. After she got ready, she finished the


    breakfast Jared prepared for her under his watch. The two of them got into the car and drove to Royal


    Creek Institute.


    Nicole got off at the entrance of Royal Creek Institute. Suddenly, a hand behind her reached out to grab


    her arm. Nicole turned around and saw Jared’s handsome face bathing under the sunlight. He looked


    fixedly and her and spoke in a tender tone.


    “Let’s have coffee again after school. The one I owe you.”


    Nicole thought of the incident fromst night. She knew he was referring to the coffee she wanted, so


    she nodded gently.


    Right after, she saw Jared reveal a bright smile. He continued gripping her wrist with his fingers while


    looking at her with a twinkle in his eyes.


    “I don’t want to let go.”

    Nicole felt the grip on her wrist gradually loosen. She turned her arm to sp his hand and said casually


    “We still have a lot of time.”


    After that, she let go of his hand. She got out of the car and walked toward the teaching and learning


    building nearby. The view of her back looked suave. Jared felt her remaining warmth between his fingers


    and slowly revealed a yearnful gaze.


    ‘I’ve thought about restraining myself. I’ve also considered getting to the bottom of things. But I couldn’t


    control my raging feelings.’ he thought. He lifted his gaze; there was a twinkle in his dazzling eyes.


    ‘Nicole is right. We still have a lot of time.’ he thought.
