Chapter 2163


    Nicole looked at Samuel and Spencer. In turn, the two girls looked at Nicole, feeling bashful.


    It was not the boys who were unwilling to announce their rtionship, but the girls. It seemed like both


    couples had agreed on it earlier on. Neither of them would talk about it, so the boys had no choice but


    to remain silent as they waited for approval from thedies.


    In fact, the boys also felt aggrieved. They had girlfriends and yet, their rtionship remained a secret.


    “Well, it all depends on you two.” Nicole shrugged her shoulders, seemingly helpless.

    Since this was June and Lulu’s decision, Samuel and Spencer could only try to move thedies’ hearts


    with their actions and sincerity.


    After all, one could tell that thedies cared about Samuel and Spencer a lot. As long as the two boys


    were sincere and determined enough, they could get thedies to agree.


    Samuel and Spencer sighed. Without Nicole’s help, the boys would have to go a long way to achieve


    that.


    Nicole shot a pointed look at the two boys. “It’s gettingte. You guys should send June and Lulu home


    now.”


    “Alright then. You should get some rest too.”


    June and Lulu got ready to leave.


    Samuel and Spencer followed the twodies out. Looking at the four of them, Nicole smiled.


    “There’s no need to worry about them. They can handle themselves,” said Jared, holding Nicole’s hand


    and bringing her upstairs.


    Nicole frowned as she muttered, “What about Stanley? Are you saying he’s hopeless?”


    Although everyone was at different stages in life, everyone had found their own happiness, except for


    Stanley.


    The image of Stanley and Tia together shed across Nicole’s mind. Somehow, that image felt


    wholesome. In fact, which was the first time Nicole had seen such a gentle side from Stanley.


    Jared lowered his gaze, looked at her and said solemnly,” Instead of caring about other people’s


    business, why don’t you think about me instead?”


    “You? Since when you needed attention?”


    Something shed in Jared’s eyes. Nicole cared about everyone else except him. Jared felt that it was


    unfair.


    “You haven’t recovered your memory, but you’ve epted your parents. You’ve epted your


    brothers. You’ve even acknowledged your best friends. Why are you choosing to not ept me? We


    even have a marriage certificate.” His face was filled with grief as heined.


    Nicole shook her head andughed. ’Jared, aren’t you acting a little too childish? Are you jealous of


    them?”


    She had heard of people being jealous of their rivals in love. But this was the first time she heard of


    someone getting jealous of the partner’s family.


    “What if I said yes?” Jared’s gaze darkened. All he wanted was to be treated fairly.


    He was also an important person in her heart. It was one thing for her to not remember him, but it was


    another for her to not acknowledge him.


    “Fine, you’re different from them,” Nicole answered, sounding annoyed. “If you could act normal with


    me like my family can, I’ll acknowledge you as well.”


    “Normal?” Jared frowned. What about him was not normal?


    Nicole bit her lip slightly and exined, “Just maintain a certain distance. Don’t get too close to me.”


    “This is normal for a married couple. Other than that, I’ve never had—”


    Feeling panicked, Nicole reached out to cover Jared’s mouth with her hands to stop him from finishing


    his sentence.


    Does he not know how to control himself? How can he talk about these things so casually?’


    “Don’t say anything ridiculous,” Nicole warned Jared as he looked at her. What she did not know was


    that her cheeks were flushed red.


    A hint of mischief lit up Jared’s eyes. He pulled Nicole’s hands away and replied in a meaningful tone,


    “Did I say something wrong?”
