Chapter 1282


    Jared grabbed his ss and struck it against Nicole’s with a clink, after which he looked at her with


    affectionately. “You are wrong. I just like being your unsung hero.”


    One minute, the two of them were arguing, and by the next, they started to act all lovey-dovey.


    Everyone at the scene was stunned, amazed by a man as smooth as Jared himself.


    “Okay, let’s get dinner started. Everyone has been waiting.” Jared signaled to Nicole with his eyes that


    everyone was watching.


    Nicole quickly sat back down and said, “Sorry to keep everyone waiting.”


    Harvey snapped out of his daze. “At least you know.”


    Nicole shot Harvey a re. ‘Who said anything to you?’


    “Okay, let’s get started.” Martin smiled as he noticed that everyone was at ease, restoring the


    hospitable atmosphere that was there before.


    “Nicole, this is good. Have some.” Harvey said, about to serve a dish to Nicole.


    But before Nicole could say anything, Jared chimed in. “She doesn’t like that.”


    Then, he scooped a chunk from another dish and ced it directly onto Nicole’s te. “This one is


    good. It is what you have always wanted to eat.”


    “Yea, yea, yea, Mr. Johnston ordered this dish specifically for you.” Martin echoed from the side.


    It was Martin’s idea to host Nicole today, but after he had informed Jared about it, everything became


    Jared’s call. From the venue to every dish on the table, everything had been carefully selected by


    Jared.


    “This is not the only dish, but most of the dishes were ordered by Mr. Johnston.” Martin looked at


    Nicole.


    What he meant was self-exnatory, and everyone in the room understood it.


    This made Harvey very upset. ‘Had Martin not said that he had nned the reception, this scenario


    would not have happened, let alone an opportunity for Jared to show off. Since Jared was the one who


    ordered all the food, what is the point of serving them to Nicole? It was just an icing on the cake for


    her.’


    Harvey picked the wine dispenser up and refilled Nicole’s ss. “Let’s drink, Nicole.”


    She nced at Harvey and raised her ss thereafter. “To ourselves.”


    To ourselves.”


    Harvey ced his ss down as soon as someone knocked on the door of their private room.


    It was then that Martin said, “Come in.”


    But once a man walked in with a cake in his hands, Martin asked, “Are you in the wrong room? Nobody


    celebrates birthdays here.”


    “I ordered it,” Harvey said.


    All eyes were on Harvey, as the man with the cake walked up to him. “Sir, this is the cake you’ve


    ordered.”


    “Put it right here.” Harvey pointed right at where Nicole was sitting. The man did as he was told by


    putting the cake down, and left.


    Nicole looked at Harvey in puzzlement. “Why did you order a cake?”


    “I wanted to celebrate, as it is our reception today.”


    “Open it up.” Harvey looked at Nicole and gestured.

    Nicole reached out to open the box in front of her, and a dainty threeyer cake came into view. In


    there was a picture of the three of them on a trip abroad, and a row of letters that read, [Celebrating our


    triumphant return!] on the cake.


    Although Nicole seemed cold, the child within her still existed. The instant she saw Harvey’s thoughtful


    gift, she was so touched that she began tearing up


    ‘Harvey, when did you be so thoughtful?” Nicole looked into his eyes and gave him a heartfelt


    compliment.
