Chapter 1220
Alright, when the time comes, this old lady will be your witness.’ Mrs. Wallace Sr. could tell that
Nicole's eyes were brimming with tears, and that made her feel a little uncomfortable.
As Jared watched them embrace one another, he felt both a mix of happiness and sadness. 'Grandma
is indeed getting old.'
"Now, go upstairs and get some rest." Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole affectionately.
"Okay, I'll accompany you back to your room first," Nicole said as she helped Mrs. Wallace Sr. up.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Jared who was sitting on the couch at the side and said, "Jared, it's already
late. If you don't have other important things to take care of, you can stay here for the night."
"Oh, alright," he uttered.
Initially, Jared was planning to head back home in a while, and as such, it surprised him when Mrs.

"I'm off to bed now," Mrs. Wallace Sr. said, after which she made her way to her room with Nicole's help.
After Nicole had brought Mrs. Wallace Sr. back to her room, she came back to the living room to find Jared waiting
for her on the couch.
"What are you still doing here?" Nicole looked at Jared with her brows furrowed.
'Didn't he say that he'll just be sending me home? In that case, he should be heading back to his home now, not
sitting down here.'
"Didn't you hear what grandma had just said?" Jared proudly said and looked at Nicole.
Now that he had the support of Mrs. Wallace Sr., no one could chase him out of the house, as long as he wished to
stay.
"You actually took her words seriously?" Nicole laughed and looked at him in disbelief.
"Of course."
"She was just being polite. Can't you see that?" Nicole asked him with a look of disbelief.
"From what I've heard, that doesn't seem to be the case. It seemed that she was sincere about having me here," he
said. “To respect grandma's wish, I've decided to stay.’
Jared did not seem like he was joking at all. While he was sitting alone in the living room, he had thought it through.
"You're really staying?" Nicole took a seat beside Jared, and it was obvious that she found it hard to believe.
"Yes, let's head upstairs and get some sleep." Jared glanced at the time, and was about to grab Nicole by the arm
when she narrowly escaped his grasp.
"Fine, I'll go up by myself." Jared said, knowing that as soon as he went upstairs, Nicole would come looking for him.
Jared headed upstairs right away as Nicole continued staring at him from the back. "Hey, are you
really heading upstairs?"
Jared did not respond to her question and continued making his way up. Unable to sit still anymore,
Nicole quickly got up and walked to her room.

the room, she saw his shirtless figure and asked, "Why didn't you close the door if you're going to
change?"
’I did close it. You're the one who pushed it open and came in, alright?" Jared casually placed his jacket
on the chair.
Nicole rolled her eyes and walked in. Then, she stared at him and said, ’ This is my room. The guest
room is situated directly across."
Jared shot her a frown. He moved forward, approaching Nicole, and pinned her to the wall. "Are you
expecting me to stay in the guest room?’
"Yeah, you're our guest. If you're not going to sleep in that room, don't even think of spending the
night in this one." She stared right into his eyes as she made the remark, unfazed by what he was
doing.
"You know, I wonder, who was the one talking about our marriage with grandma back in the living
room? And yet here you are, referring to me as a guest. Were you just trying to put on a show in front
of grandma?" Jared looked into her eyes and questioned.
