Chapter 2033


    Jared''s lips curled up into a warm smile. "Don''t apologize. You''re doing great already. Didn''t you say


    you were going to follow your heart? It seems that your heart is telling you toe to me."


    Though he was frustrated that someone else was pursuing Nicole, Nicole''s attitude toward Lawrence


    did not drive him into sorrow or madness. She had made the right choice by following her heart, and


    the results were very satisfactory to Jared.


    They might not be as fervent in their romance as they were before, but Jared was more than happy to


    give her space and time. He was willing to wait for her, and he believed that she would not disappoint


    him.


    At that moment, Nicole was pulled back into reality and realized that she was hugging Jared. Her face


    immediately flushed as she pushed him away, creating a distance between them.


    She could not believe that she had actually let her guard down and hugged Jared moments ago. ''It''s so


    embarrassing. I feel like I''m going to die.''


    Jared shed her a devilish smile when he saw how flustered she looked. "Are you trying to tell me that


    nothing happened seconds ago?"


    "What happened just now? Nothing happened at all," Nicole exined, her cheeks turning a rosy


    shade of red.


    "Well, you hugged me on your own ord." Jared paused before inching closer to Nicole. "Or maybe,


    you had something else in mind. Did you want something else to happen?"


    "Of course not." Nicole''s face flushed an even deeper shade of red. ''This jerk is teasing me!''


    "No?" Jared asked, getting so close to her that she could feel his breath.


    Nicole could not help but hold her breath. She quickly tried to distance herself, but as she was too


    aggressive about it, she lost her bnce and ended up falling over.


    "Oh!" Nicole let out a cry before extending her arm to grab something.


    She did not know what she had caught onto, but she held onto it tightly anyway.


    "Oof."

    Unfortunately, the object she was holding onto was Jared''s necktie. She had pulled Jared down with


    her, causing him to fall as well. The both of them fell onto the bed, with Jared now lying on top of


    Nicole.


    "Hm, not bad at all. You can do a better job at lighting the spark, actually." Jared smirked.


    Though he knew that she did not mean to do it, he just could not help but tease her as he wanted to


    see her panicked expression.


    "Stop fooling around and get off of me," Nicole''s face burned red.


    Then, she forcefully pushed him away, feeling too embarrassed.


    "Woah!" the kids eximed in unison once the door had swung open.


    The kids barging in was thest thing that Nicole had seening. Utterly embarrassed now, Nicole


    quickly sat up after pushing Jared away. In the meantime, he yed along and stopped teasing her as


    he stood by the bed.


    "Mommy, are you kissing Daddy?" Lana widened her innocent eyes.


    This raised a desperate urge in Nicole to erase that memory in Lana''s head. ''Why on earth is this little


    girl saying such a thing?!''


    "Nonsense! Mommy''s not feeling well," Nn said with a frown.


    He did not want to acknowledge what he had just seen. ''It''s not like the people on TV. It''s definitely not.''


    "No? But Mommy doesn''t look sick," Lana responded.


    Nicole''s lips twitched as she calmly exined, "Mommy was feeling a little dizzy, so I fell over."


    "Did Daddy fall too?" Lana continued. ''I saw what happened. But why is Mommy denying it?''


    Nicole was at a loss for words. How was she going to answer that?


    ''Should I just say that Jared fell because I pulled him down with me when I tipped over?''
