Chapter 1372


    Nicole grumbled under her breath while unbuttoning Jared''s shirt.


    Then, a red mark on Jared''s cheek caught her attention. She looked at it closely and realized it came


    from a woman''s lips. ‘Didn''t he go to a banquet? Why is there a lipstick stain on his face?!’


    A lot of questions ran through Nicole''s head. She furrowed her brows and looked at Jared, who was


    sound asleep.


    "Good one, Jared Johnston! Looks like you had a lot of fun earlier and even got yourself drunk. Why


    did you bothering back home?” Nicole looked at him as she questioned him.


    However, Jared only responded with snores. Nicole left his side angrily. Then, she switched off the


    television and went upstairs.


    Shey in her bed and thought about what had happened. The longer shey there, the angrier she


    got. She felt like Jared had been pretending to be a man of principles.


    The next morning, Jared woke up because of how thirsty he was. He looked around and did not see


    Fiore anywhere. Relief flooded through him. He took a cup and filled it with water before downing it. It


    was only then he realized that he was back home, but he had no idea why he was sleeping in the living


    room.


    He tried to recall what had happenedst night. Thest thing he could remember was Fiore


    unbuttoning his shirt and nothing else after that.


    ‘How did I get home? By myself? Probably not. Max was with me. I''m sure Max sent me back here.


    ‘Why was I sleeping on the sofa then? Max would never just leave me there like that. There has got to


    be something I missed.’


    While trying to recall his memories, Jared heard footsteps from the staircase. He immediately turned


    his head to look over, thinking it was Fiore.


    Then, Nicole appeared before his eyes, and Jared felt relieved again. The trauma that Fiore brought


    him was unimaginable.


    "You''re awake," Nicole said without concern, looking at Jared.


    “Yeah. Good morning," Jared said in greeting.


    Nicole red at him and asked sarcastically, "How was your sleepst night?"


    "Last night... was fine." He did not remember what happened anyway, as he had slept away all night.


    He would still be sleeping if he was not that thirsty.


    "What about you?" Jared asked, looking at Nicole.


    Nicole continued to mock him. "It was excellent. The bed was so big and fluffy. So much better than the


    sofa.”


    After hearing what Nicole said, Jared realized then that he had yet to brush his teeth. He stood up


    slowly as his head still felt a little dizzy. It got better after he stood upright for a while.


    "Is there any breakfast for me?" Jared asked as he walked to the washroom.


    He looked at his reflection in the mirror there, and he was shocked! ‘What did I do to look like this? My


    hair is a mess, and even my shirt is unbuttoned.!


    When he was about to wash his face. he suddenly noticed a lipstick stain on his cheek. He was


    stunned.


    ‘Where did thise from?’ Suddenly. an unpleasant scene shed through his mind. ‘Could it be...


    ‘Oh, no! Nicole probably saw this. Otherwise, I wouldn''t be sleeping on the sofa. It also exins why


    she acted so weird just now.’


    Thinking of how terrifying Nicole''s gaze was, he immediately connected the dots.


    He freshened up quickly and went downstairs. Nicole was already having breakfast in the dining hall.


    He walked over slowly and sat down, only to find out that there was no food in front of him. He nced


    over at Nicole as she kept eating without looking at him.


    Jared hesitated, but he decided to ask anyway. "Nicole, how did I get backst night?”N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
