Chapter 1879


    As they were being stared at by Jared, Gary and Ryder felt the overwhelming presence looming over


    them.


    However, Gary tried his best to resist Jared''s presence nheless, and in a tone indicative of his


    dissatisfaction, he replied, "Nicole and I are ssmates. Isn''t it normal for us to know each other well?"


    Seeing how headstrong Gary was, Jared looked at Ryder and mocked, "Then, is Ryder ssmates


    with Nicole too?"


    Ryder did not know how to exin himself, and as such, he could only reply awkwardly, "We joined a


    competition a few days back. I guess we can be considered as teammates."


    After all, the three of them were in a team. This, it was not wrong for him to refer to himself as one of


    Nicole''s teammates.


    However, Jared felt as though the two of them were simply giving excuses.

    The Finley brothers were really timid people. It was obvious that both of them had feelings for Nicole,


    and yet, they could have a meal with Nicole together. This made others wonder what their actual


    feelings were.


    At that moment, Nicole could tell that Jared was unhappy. Initially, Nicole was quite surprised to see


    him, but it puzzled her as to why he would see green so suddenly the instant he arrived.


    Seeing that Ryder and Gary were done with their meal, Nicole said, "The both of you can head back


    first. I''d like some time alone with my fiancé. Is that fine?"


    Nicole''s words made the Finley brothers feel sad. Once her fiancé appeared, she had be totally


    unavable to them.


    Yet, Ryder could still find it in himself to be cordial about it. "Sure, we''ll leave the both of you alone."


    Then, he turned around and dragged Gary out without giving him a chance to speak.


    Jared watched them leave.


    Then, he turned back and looked at Nicole unhappily. "It''s one thing for you to have lunch without me.


    However, you just had to string those two stalkers along?"


    Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Jared Johnston, you b*stard! You''re getting better and better at being


    jealous now. They''re just my schoolmates, and it was a coincidence that they wanted to dine in here


    too. Wouldn''t it be even weirder if we split tables?"


    Jared knew that Nicole did not have such intentions. But to Jared, the feelings the two men had for her


    were clear as day.


    "Fortunately, we''re getting registered tomorrow. Otherwise, I will never be at peace for the rest of my


    life," he said.


    Jared was not at ease, knowing that his own woman was perfect in every way, and that countless eyes


    were on her.


    At the mention of tomorrow, the look on Nicole''s face darkened. "How dare you mention it? You booked


    such an early flight. I thought of sleeping in a littleter."


    In fact, Nicole did not intend to get registered so soon.


    However, Jared replied with a smile, "Don''t worry, I can stay in your room tonight and be your personal


    rm."


    "Go away!" Nicole yelled, not giving him any opportunity to have another sleepover in her room


    anymore. "I''m telling you, I''ve changed the locks for the balcony door. You won''t be able toe in


    anymore. Don''t bother trying."


    Jared suddenly whipped a key out. "I know. I''ve cracked it open with this key."


    "You!"


    Indeed, he was a truly shameless man. If anything, it seemed that Jared had secretly taken Nicole''s


    key when they were together and duplicated it.


    "So, you better wake up on time tomorrow. Otherwise, I''lle over tonight," Jared whispered into


    Nicole''s ear in a threatening tone.


    Nicole could not help but bite her lower lip. "You filthy man! Hmph!"


    ''Forget it! I''ll just wake up by myself. It''s a lot better than being woken up by him,'' she thought.


    "I''m only filthy when I''m with you." Jared smiled.


    At that moment, us, who had been attentive from the get go, served Jared a lunch tter and a cup


    of coffee.


    Nicole was stunned, "You haven''t had lunch?"


    "Of course. My fiancee was busy having lunch with others but not me," Jared replied yfully.


    Hearing that, Nicole was at a loss for words. "Fine. I''ll keep youpany right now."


    Jared pursed his lips. Happy atst, he began eating his lunch.


    As the two of them had not had lunch together for a while, that meal was extremely satisfying for Jared.


    After lunch, Jared reluctantly sent Nicole back to the school''s entrance.


    Nicole also felt sad having to part with Jared. "Okay. Drive safe."


    "Will do." Jared nodded.


    Then, he kissed Nicole on the forehead without an ounce of care as to where they were.
