Chapter 2012
Though Jared was rejected by Nicole, he still felt really good about himself as he considered that
Nicole''s sullen look was strangely cute.
"Haha." Jared let out a sarcasticugh before letting out a lowugh.
Feeling a little hot, Nicole''s cheeks became even redder, and her heartbeat quickened.
As the cool night breeze blew through her hair, Nicole did not dare to make eye contact with Jared.
Nicole was scared to meet his eyes, afraid that she would get lost in them.
"Tell me about your stay at Crescent Ind," Jared requested as he gentlybed Nicole''s hair.
Jared felt regretful he was unable to be by Nicole''s side, but he wanted to know how they lived.
"It''s nothing special. I asionally do my missions, while the rest of my time is spent taking care of
Nn and Lana," Nicole said lightly.
Though Nicole said it like it was nothing, Jared knew that it must have been very tough for her to live
alone with two children.
"In the future, it won''t be as hard anymore." Jared gently hugged Nicole''s shoulders, vowing to himself
that he would share the burden with Nicole and not let her go through it alone.
The weight of Jared''s arms made it hard to breathe, but the warmth filled Nicole''s heart. It was as if she
magically gained certainty from the hug.
Nicole turned to look at Jared, staring into his deep eyes that were once mysterious but now were filled
with reassurance, making her feel safe. Nicole curled her lips. She did not respond to Jared''s words.
Instead, she felt more at peace by being next to him.
As the night rolled in, Jared and Nicole brought the twins back to the Riddle residence. They were
already fast asleep. After settling the twins down, Jared and Nicole slipped into bed.
"Those two rascals are very excited. They don''t want to go home until they tire themselves out." Nicole
felt helpless, unable to control both Nn and Lana''s eagerness to y.
"Visiting the capital is quite something. It''s quite refreshing to say, but since they like it so much, why
don''t we bring them out more often?" Jared offered, wanting to try and make up for the time lost.
"They''ll be heading to kindergarten soon. Let them get their rest first," said Nicole as she remembered
that her children would be starting kindergarten over the next three days.
''I wonder if they''ll be able to adapt,'' Nicole wondered.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
"Don''t worry about it. I''ll arrange for someone to take care of them." Jaredforted Nicole. He knew
that Nicole had signed up Nn and Lana with ordinary identities to protect them. However, Jared was
still worried. ''I need to send someone out to keep an eye out for them, just in case anything happens.''
"Okay." Nicole nodded, thinking Jared''s arrangement to be very thoughtful.
"It''s gettingte. Let''s head to bed," said Jared, as he pushed Nicole into the bathroom and handed her
pajamas before closing the bathroom door.
Nicole stood there in shock, holding her pajamas in her hand. She could not help but feel a little
dumbstruck before shaking her head and sighing, turning on the faucet.
Jared turned to look out the window as he heard the sound of the water running in the bathroom. He
stared out looking at the distant night sky.
For the past five years, Jared had been staring at the night sky for countless nights as if staring hard
enough would bring Nicole back to his side.
''She finally came back to me and this time, I won''t ever lose her again.''
Time came and went. After being upied for so long, the day of celebrating Nicole''s return hade.
On this day, political, businesspeople, celebrities, and merchants of the capital gathered to wee
Nicole''s return which had been talked about worldwide.
As soon as the lights were switched on, the crowd stood in front of the hotel and there was an endless
stream of people entering the venue.
