Chapter 2383


    “It’s not that serious. I just need some sleep,” Nicole said tly.


    ‘He doesn’t even want me out of the bed?! Lying like this for a whole day would just make my limbs


    stiff.’


    “If you don’t want to, I can stay at home and watch over you, ” Jared continued as if he was threatening


    her.


    Nicole had no choice but topromise as she reluctantly said, “Fine, I get it.”


    Initially, she had thought, Til just wait for Jared to go to work. What can he do then?’


    But to her surprise, it seemed that Jared had seen through her thoughts.


    He then gave her a meaningful nce and said, “I’ll have Tia look after you.”


    Nicole’s lips began twitching violently once he had finished.’ Is this guy a mind reader?’


    Nicole pouted and closed her eyes, ready to sleep. She had a look on her face that clearly said, “I don’t


    want to talk to you.”


    Jared smiled indulgently as heid down and pulled Nicole into his embrace…


    The next day, the sun rose bright and high in the East.


    Nicole was ordered to lie down once she had woken up, and to her surprise, Jared really had assigned


    Tia to look after her.


    Seeing Tia bustling around, Nicole began to feel a little helpless. “Tia, sit down and take a break. I don’t


    need you to take care of me like this.”


    Her injuries were superficial, and she had already recovered quite a bit after resting for two days. She


    just appeared tired due to the family gathering yesterday, which was why Jared had ordered her to stay


    in bed today. In reality, her injuries were really not that serious anymore. She could even go to work in


    a couple of days.


    “Miss Nicole, you should still get some proper rest. That way, you’ll recover faster,” Tia advised.


    “I know, I’m not asking you to leave. I just want you to stop being so busy. Come over here to chat with


    me, please.”


    Since she was not allowed to get out of bed, she would be bored senseless on her own. Therefore, it


    would be nice if Tia could keep herpany.


    Hearing that, Tia sat down and asked, “What do you want to talk about, Miss Nicole?”


    “Why does it feel so quiet outside?” Nicole asked with some confusion.


    Nn and Lana had gone off to kindergarten; Jared had jetted off to his office; and Stanley and


    Spencer had probably gone off to work too. This left Samuel and her


    parents, who should be at home.


    ‘Still, why does it feel as if there is no activity in the house at all?’ she wondered.


    “Mr. and Mrs. Riddle went out, and Mr. Samuel has been staying in his room. That’s why it’s quieter,”


    Tia answered.


    “What are Mom and Dad doing?” Nicole asked curiously.


    “I think they went off to finalize something about the wedding.” Tia frowned, the look on her facing


    indicating that she was not quite sure about the details.


    Hearing that it was about the wedding, Nicole did not inquire any further. Her parents had been


    handling these matters on their own all along, so those were things she had little knowledge of.

    ncing at Tia, Nicole casually said, “Spencer and Samuel are both getting married now. That’s why


    my mom is getting more and more anxious about Stanley.”


    “It seems that Mr. Stanley indeed doesn’t have a girlfriend. So, Mrs. Riddle’s concern is


    understandable.” Tia nodded in agreement.


    ‘If Mr. Stanley has a girlfriend, they probably wouldn’t be so anxious,’ she thought.


    Nicole could not help but shake her head in frustration when she saw how calm Tia was.


    It seemed that Stanley’s journey to win his potential wife over was indeed a long one, as Tia did not


    seem to notice that Stanley cared about her at all. This called into question about whether Stanley’s


    disys of affection were obvious enough for her to notice.


    However, Nicole had noticed it, so it made no sense as to why Tia, the person who was directly


    involved, could not see it.


    Observing Tia closely, Nicole realized that Tia was genuinely calm as if she was merely talking about


    someone else’s business, which had nothing to do with her.


    Nicole bit her lip, deciding not to make mentions of Stanley in front of her anymore. After all, what


    would be of them would be determined by Stanley himself. If she spoke up on his behalf, it might


    complicate things and potentially result in an unfavorable oue.
