Chapter 1614


    Jared''s statement prompted everyone to ce their cutlery down and look at him.


    Daniel smiled kindly. “Just say whatever you want, Jared.”


    Jared looked at Daniel gently. "I''m already engaged with Nicole, and I think we should put our wedding


    on the agenda now.”


    "What?!"


    All five of Nicole''s brothers were perplexed.


    ‘Why is this guy in such a rush to get married?!"


    ‘We just found Nicole not long ago! It''s not easy for US to be this close with Nicole.’


    ‘We don’t mind their engagement, but he wants to get married now? And take our sister away from


    US?!


    Even Gloria and Daniel were in shock.


    Mrs. Wace Sr. was confused as well, but she knew that Jared and Nicole had special identities, so


    she did not say anything.


    Samuel was the first one who voiced his disagreement. "I object! It hasn''t even been a year since


    Nicole came back to us! I''m not done spending time with her yet!"


    ‘If they get married, Jared will definitely take Nicole away,’ he thought.


    Spencer was not happy about it either, but he was calm. "Even if we do agree, Nicole is not at the age


    of marriage yet. It''s pointless to rush it, Mr. Johnston."


    Jared looked at Samuel and Spencer cheekily as he said in a challenging tone. "We can get married in


    Panem.”


    “"Panem?!" Everyone was stumped when they heard it.


    Spencer and Samuel did not expect Jared to y that card. They exchanged looks as if they did not


    know what Jared was trying to do.


    But Sean looked at Jared, intrigued. "Sure, you''re very sincere, Mr. Johnston. The legal age to marry in


    Panem is 16, but you won''t ever be able to divorce Nicole once you get married. Are you sure about


    that?”


    The legal age to marry in Panem was 16, but getting a divorce was illegal.


    Samuel and Spencer were surprised, as were Gloria and Mrs. Wace Sr. However, they were


    surprised at the loyalty Jared had for Nicole. He had never considered divorcing her at all.


    Both Gloria and Mrs. Wace Sr. were moved...


    "Jared, I didn''t know you''d do so much for Nicole." Though Gloria thought that Nicole was too young to


    marry, she still found it very touching.


    Daniel was also shocked at the fact that Jared would think of doing something like this just to get


    married to Nicole earlier.


    Jared could tell that Daniel was hesitating, so he said, "Don''t worry, Mr. and Mrs. Riddle. I will take


    responsibility for Nicole for the rest of my life. I will never let her down, and I will treat her the best I


    can."


    Nicole did not expect Jared to have this idea as well. On top of that, she did not expect him to make


    such a promise before her family. Aplicated feeling arose in her heart...


    Jared''s love felt heavy and warm at the same time, filling her with a sense offort.


    She had never thought that she would meet a man like him, who would vow to her family that he would


    treat her well. Her parents were there, Mrs. Wace was there, and her brothers were there too. Nicole


    wanted to remember this moment for the rest of her life. Her heart was full.

    Daniel eyed Jared''s look of seriousness and took a deep breath. "I know you''ve been great to Nicole,


    Mr. Johnston. However, we can only give our blessings to you. Ultimately, the decision is Nicole’s to


    make..."


    Daniel looked at Nicole. He knew that she had her own opinions and that she did not need anyone to


    decide for her. He would support her regardless of her decision.


    Sean looked at Nicole as if he was already missing her. "Nicole, what do you think?"


    He even sounded like he was missing her already.


    Nicole could feel that Sean and the rest of her brothers were looking at her with a sense of longing, as


    they did not want her to leave the house too soon...
