Chapter 2077
The two pairs of eyes met. Both of them were speechless and the atmosphere was extremely
awkward.
A gush of cold wind blew over and Nicole came back to her senses. She aggressively pulled the
bathrobe to cover her body while yelling in a panic, “I’m fine! G-get out!”
Jared did not leave. Instead, he pulled Nicole into his arms and carried her out of the bathroom.
“I can walk on my own. Put me down!” Nicole grabbed her bathrobe tightly, feeling nervous.

She had just stepped out of the bathtub when she slipped and fell down. Unexpectedly, her fully naked
body was seen by Jared. She was already embarrassed as it was, and yet Jared carried her out in that
manner. Nicole could not wait to dig a hole for herself.
On top of that, this would signify that she had revealed her full self to Jared. The next thing would be…
The more Nicole thought about it, the more scared she felt. At that moment, the only thought in her
head was to get away from Jared as soon as possible. The both of them needed time and distance.
Otherwise, things would escte.
“Jared Johnston, listen to me,” Nicole said, trying to make Jarede back to his senses.
However, Jared had already ced her on the bed. He questioned her in a low voice, “Where does it
hurt? Did you get injured?”
“Uh…” Nicole had thought up a long list of arguments just now. But all of a sudden, it became useless.
The words caught in her throat. ‘Why is this different from what I imagined?’
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Nicole remain silent, Jared became even more worried. He could not help but
frown. “I’ll call the doctor.”
Hearing the word ‘doctor’, Nicole came back to her senses and grabbed onto Jared. “Don’t! I’m fine. I
just identally fell down.”
“Are you sure?” Seeing that Nicole’splexion was better, Jared wanted to make sure of it.
“Yes.” Nicole nodded hurriedly. It seemed like she was trying to prove that she was not hurt, and Jared
was just overreacting.
As it seemed like Nicole was really fine, Jared rxed a little. “At least you’re okay.”
His gaze was fixed on her. Although Nicole’s body was covered by the bathrobe, her exquisite figure
was still vaguely visible. Jared unconsciously recalled the scene when Nicole was lying on the ground
in the bathroom. Then, his gaze darkened, and heat pooled in his stomach.
Jared continued staring at Nicole, without saying a word. That made Nicole feel embarrassed and her
cheeks began to flush.
“Uh, l-l’m going to sleep.” Nicole bit her lip, pulled the nket over, tucked herself in and turned over to
face away from Jared.
“You can sleep first. I’ll shower.” After Jared finished speaking, he turned around and strode to the
bathroom.
Nicole noticed the hoarseness in Jared’s voice. Her heart suddenly tightened, and her breathing
became shallow. She knew that Jared was clearly trying to control himself and that confused Nicole.
After Jared went into the bathroom, he turned on the cold water and the icy water poured down. It was
at this moment that Jared felt sane again.
Embarrassed, he shook his head and sighed. Jared could onlyugh at himself quietly. The both of
them were a legally married couple, and yet he could only take a cold shower. There was nothing he
could do. After all, Nicole had yet to recover her memory. Jared was worried that Nicole would feel
scared or that he would hurt her. So, he decided to give her more time.
The next day, the sun rose and the clouds and wind swept lightly across the sky.
After breakfast, all the members of the Riddle family left for their respective duties.
Jared sent Nicole to the Riddle Corporation after he dropped Nn and Lana off at school.
Just as Nicole was about to open the door and get down from the car, Jared grabbed onto her. Then,
his cold lipsnded on Nicole’s.
Nicole’s eyes widened in shock and her mind went nk. When she came back to her senses, Jared
had already let go of her.
