Chapter 1119


    "Would you be so kind as to further your exnation?" Nicole asked, unhappy at the sight of Harvey


    laughing all by himself.


    "Things like these can only be understood through experience, not words," Harvey said with his brows


    raised.


    "I see that you are disying a lot of interest in whatever they could be talking about.Why don''t you


    head over and say hi?"


    "I''m not going to do that.You do so if you want."


    Nicole rolled her eyes and continued eating.


    "You''re not even going to greet them, so why should I?" Harvey nced at her.


    Then, he continued eating as if nothing had happened.


    However, he was leaping with utmost joy deep within.


    Nicole took a few bites and realized that she could no longer stifle her curiosity.She looked up and


    gazed off at Jared''s general direction again.


    Coincidentally, her eyes met Jared''s.


    Seeing this, she whirled around and averted her gaze at once.


    But to Jared, Nicole''s actions made it seem as though she was hiding something from him.


    At this point, the air around Jared was bing so stifling that even Fiore, who was preupied


    with her food, could feel it.


    As soon as she looked up, she was almost shocked by the expression on his face.


    "Jared, are you okay?"


    Fiore looked at him, concerned.


    Hearing Fiore''s voice, Jared quickly collected himself.He had lost all appetite at this juncture.Then,


    he looked at Fiore, maintaining his decorum as he said, "


    Fiore, I have matters I must attend to.I need to excuse myself.


    The meal is on me, so you may enjoy the food on your own time."


    "Jared, what is the matter?" she asked.


    "Why are you in such a hurry? You didn''t really eat much.Why not take a few more bites before you


    leave?"


    In truth, Fiore wanted to make Jared stay for a while longer because she was not sure if Nicole had


    noticed them.


    "No, I''m good.Bye."


    Jared took onest nce at Nicole and left at once.


    "Jared, I''ming with you."


    Fiore rushed after him, wishing to leverage this opportunity.


    Nicole noticed themotion at Jared''s table, but as soon as she nced over her shoulder to catch a


    glimpse of it, Jared had already walked out with Fiore following right behind.


    After having witnessed that, Nicole''s appetite vanished.иσν???вσσк.￠σмShe ced her fork down and


    slumped back against her chair.Harvey was able to register her feelings at once, during which he


    grabbed his juice and drank a little.Then, he looked at Nicole.


    "It''s fine.If you''re unhappy, just let it all out.I''ll pretend as if I didn''t hear anything."


    Nicole shot him a nce and maintained her silence.She did not need a listening ear.In fact, she could


    manage the pain, and recover on her own.


    "Are you done eating?" Nicole asked after a long pause.


    "We still have a lot of time."


    Harvey looked at her with his forehead creased.


    "Are you done yet?"


    "Yeah, you can take your time." Nicole said that and stood up.


    "I''ll get the bill."

    But as she was about to turn around and grab her belongings, Harvey stopped her.


    "What do you mean? Are you leaving already?"


    "Yeah."


    Harvey dropped his fork and looked at Nicole, Where are you going?"


    "Home," she replied.


    "Where else would I go to?"


    "I''ming along."


    Harvey stood up, ready to leave with her as he did not wish to eat anymore.


    "It''s fine.It wouldn''t be convenient for us.You should finish up the food, or else it''d be a waste."


    Nicole smiled and left the restaurant.


    Harvey stared at Nicole as she walked out.


    As she had not eaten her share, Harvey understood that anyone would be unhappy if they were to see


    their other half having a meal with someone of the opposite gender.


    This applied to Nicole as well.


    However, the more distant they were, the better it would be for Harvey, and hence a higher chance for


    him to make Nicole his.


    With that in mind, Harvey sat down and continued eating, rxed in light of that which had transpired.


    On her way back to the Sea View Vi, Nicole could not stop thinking about the scene where Jared and


    Fiore were having augh together.


    ''How could he be this happy around her? And the worst part is, he saw me but never bothered to say


    hi?"


    Concurrently, Jared was also furious as he sat in the car.


    ‘When she went out with Carl the other day, she almost got into trouble.Why is she hanging out with


    that b*stard, Harvey, again today? Has she lost all of her feelings for me already?"
