Chapter 282
“I had a female nurse from back home change your clothes.” Nicole breathed a sigh of relief when she
heard this. Jared laughed in response, “Go get changed. You can eat after you change.”
“Sure,” Nicole responded.
After Jared left, Nicole stood up. She saw her bag on the coat hanger.
She walked over and emptied the bag’s contents before checking them. The last item that fell out was
the piece of silver-white metal that she won at the Moon House. She gently pressed at a random part of
it.
The piece of metal did not budge. Nicole frowned lightly. Nicole flipped the piece of metal over and saw
the light circular carving behind. She gently rubbed it with her fingers. The silver-white piece of metal
quickly flashed with blue-colored light. For some reason, the light only lasted for less than half a second
before it became completely exhausted.

She quickly kept the item in her hand. At the very next moment, she heard someone knocking on the
door.
“Nicole, come out and eat.”
Jared’s pleasant voice sounded after the steady knocks on the door. Nicole responded coolly and
placed her bag back in its initial position. Then, she opened the door and went downstairs with him.
The servants were placing the dishes on the table. Nicole looked at the dishes of the day and looked at
Jared confusedly.
‘Why are there so many kinds of soup?’ she wondered.
Jared kept a straight face and continued walking.
He then said slowly, “Soups are very nourishing.”
Claus watched Jared from the side and was surprised.
“The boss hates soup. The fact that he made Nicole this many kinds of soups shows how much she
means to him!’ he thought.
Nicole was genuinely feeling a little hungry now; she barely ate while she was over at the Riddle
family’s place. Since she had not had a proper meal in days, soft and soupy foods would certainly aid
her body’s recovery.
Jared frowned a little when she saw her fork reaching for the salad. He removed the lids of the four
soup bowls beside Nicole and pushed them toward her, “Eat these.” Nicole looked at Jared a little
helplessly; there was faint rejection in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Jared acted as if he was not aware of it. He had a faint smile playing on his lips as
he gazed at Nicole with glinting eyes.
Seeing how he was watching her, Nicole scooped up a piece of chicken from the bowl of milky white-
colored soup. She chewed it very slowly but eventually swallowed it. Jared looked at her with faintly
smiling eyes. Claus watched the two lovebirds and felt envious. The two of them were too good at
making him feel lonely.

The two of them had their meal quietly.
Nicole felt the warm liquid flowing into her stomach. She came to the realization that these were not
ordinary soups; there were definitely many nourishing ingredients in there.
She noticed that Jared barely touched any of the soups. She understood Jared’s intentions. Nicole
looked at Jared’s doting expression and smiled slightly with her eyes. After their meal, Claus left the
mansion without being told, leaving only Nicole and Jared behind. Nicole looked at him and raised an
eyebrow, “I should get going too.” Jared did not look like he had any intentions to walk her out. He
cleared the plates absentmindedly and said firmly, “Don’t go back today. Just stay here and rest.”
Nicole saw that he was not joking around. She pulled up her sleeves and went up to help clear the
table. When Jared saw her stand up, he frowned slightly, “Don’t do anything.”
‘All she needs to do is rest.’ he thought.
Nicole knew that her fainting all of a sudden today had caused him some emotional trauma. Therefore,
she did not insist but stood back and watched him.
He was only doing the dishes, but his movements still looked incredibly elegant.
