Chapter 1244
Nicole's words hit Jared hard like a slap that he had nothing to refute.
'That is her personal matter. I have nothing to say." Jared was still stubborn.
Nicole could see through him. 'He doesn't want to tell me the truth? That's fine. I'm not that interested
in it anyways!'
"You should pay more attention to Martin's matters. He needs your help." Nicole looked at Jared
solemnly. Then, she stood up and walked out.
'Nicole, where are you going?" Jared immediately asked her.
Nicole did not reply to his question and walked straight out of the office.
From the window, Jared watched Nicole drive off in that Lamborghini. He quickly picked up his phone
and called her. But even after a few calls, no one picked up the phone. Jared knew that Nicole was
angry at him, so she would not take her calls. He stopped bothering her and thought of explaining
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteverything to her clearly when he met her at night.
Then, he returned to his desk and continued working.
Time flew by quickly alongside Jared's pen, which was gliding away. When he looked up, it was already afternoon.
So, he put down his pen and stood up to stretch. Then, he took his jacket and walked out.
As he reached his assistant's desk, he stopped for a moment." If Ms. Fiorella is here to see me, tell her I'm on a
business trip."
"Noted."
Jared drove and headed to the sea-view villa. He knew that Nicole must have gone there, so he did not return to his
own place.
Little did he know, Nicole was already on the plane and resting. Although her eyes were closed, the image of
Fiorella at the elevator kept popping up in her head.
Nicole casually sat up, simply picked up a magazine, and flipped through it. She wanted to ignore Fiorella. But no
matter what she was looking at, she could not forget Fiorella's provocative look at the elevator lobby.
In the end, she managed to forget it by watching a comedy reality show.
Jared's car slowly entered the sea-view villa's porch. Right at that moment, Tia turned around and saw the carthat
drove in.
"Whose car is it?" Tia murmured and walked out.
She only recognized that it was Jared's car when she reached the porch.
"Mr. Johnston, why did you come?" Tia walked over to him.
"I'm here to visit grandma." Jared did not explicitly mention that he was there to find Nicole. As he was worried that
Nicole would speak harshly to him, Jared used Mrs. Wallace Sr. as a shield.
"Oh, come on in then." Seeing that Jared was here to visit Mrs. Wallace Sr., Tia did not say much and quickly let him
into the living room.
Jared looked around and noticed that Nicole was not around. He was sure that Nicole hid in her room and sulked.
He went to the sofa, sat down, and greeted Mrs. Wallace Sr. warmly," Grandma, I'm here to visit you."
"You're quite a busy man. There's no need to visit me daily." If Mrs. Wallace Sr. had remembered
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcorrectly, Jared had just come over a day ago.
"Milady, Mr. Johnston is showing extra care for you." Tia chimed in.
"Mr. Johnston, have some fruits."
"Thanks."
After being silent for quite some time, Jared carefully asked, "Tia, how was Nicole when she came
back?"
Tia frowned and looked at Jared questionably. She thought that Jared was asking about the other day
when Nicole had just returned home. She tried to recall the scene from that day, "I think she looked
pretty happy."
When Jared heard that, he was stunned, "Happy? Why would she be happy?"
"Yeah, Nicole was very happy. She even chatted a lot with US." Tia replied based on her memory.
Jared was dumbfounded upon hearing Tia's response. 'Why did Nicole talk about Fiorella to the family
too? This is too embarrassing for me.'
’Tia, are you sure that Nicole looked happy on her face? Could you have read it wrongly?" Jared looked
at Tia in disbelief.
