“Hmm.” Nicole was helpless, too.
“Then you stay here for the time being.” Jared saw this as an opportunity instead.
Nicole looked at him, figuring that was all she could do.” Okay.”
Jared had changed into casual wear and went downstairs with Nicole to the living room.
As soon as Jared and Nicole came to the living room, Spencer and Samuel got to their feet. “Our
classmates asked us to go play cricket with them. We will have to go.”
Jared looked at Spencer and Samuel.
“Why don‘t you stay for lunch if you‘re not in a hurry?”
After all, they were both Nicole‘s brothers.
“It‘s okay. Our classmates have been hastening us. We will leave now.” Spencer and Samuel snickered
and glanced at Nicole before hurrying away.
In fact, no classmates were looking for them to play cricket at all. They just did not want to disturb
Jared and Nicole here.
On the couch, Jared hugged Nicole in his arms.
“It seems like a long time since we have snuggled together like this.”
“I am free this afternoon. Where would you like to go?” Jared looked over at Nicole.
“Then let‘s go to the beach, shall we?” Nicole thought of going to the beach to ease herself from the
melancholy.
“Yeah, but what do we do now?” Jared had an evil look in his eyes.
Nicole suddenly thought of an idea. “Let‘s watch a movie.
She took out her phone and quickly found one of the latest blockbusters and streamed it on the TV
across the room.
“This is a recent blockbuster with high ratings. You watch it first while I go get some snacks and Coke.”
“You can‘t carry so much stuff by yourself. I will go with you.” The movie was paused, and Jared
followed Nicole to get things together.
The movie resumed. Nicole was eating her snack and watching the movie with great interest, while
Jared had one hand on Nicole‘s shoulder, sipping his Coke in boredom, as the movie was not as
attractive to him as Nicole was.
The movie‘s story built up and soon reached its climax. Nicole oohed and aahed with excitement and
then glanced at Jared, who looked cool, calm, and collected.” Why aren‘t you excited at all?”
“Am I not? I‘m excited, too.” Jared lied with a straight face. “This piece is wonderful.” He did not forget
to say this.
Nicole shot a look at him, knowing that it was just a half hearted reply. She suddenly wanted to tease
him a little.” So, what do you think is the most exciting moment?”
“I think… The monster is too funny.” After saying that, he could not help but laugh.
“The monster is funny? It‘s really the first time I‘ve heard someone say that about monsters.”
“Look, the monster is here again.” Jared pretended to be nervous and drew her closer to himself.
“It is fine. The monster is gone. No need to get so excited. “Nicole had seen his intention was just to get
up close and personal with her. Two hours passed, and the movie ended. Jared sat on the couch with
Nicole in his arms.
“What would you like to eat? I will make it for you.” Jared asked dotingly. “Cheesy banana?” Nicole said
bluntly.
“No problem. You find a movie to watch here. I will call you later when it is ready.” Jared kissed Nicole‘s
cheek gently and went to the kitchen.
Nicole did not expect that, and her heart pounded, her face blushing. She hurriedly took a sip of Coke
to cover up her smitten look. While Jared was busy in the kitchen, Nicole sat on the couch and watched
the movie absentmindedly. She thought had Jared asked her to help at this moment, she would have
walked over without hesitation.
“Nicole, do you like more cheese or bananas?” Jared‘s voice came out from the kitchen.
Nicole took this opportunity to put down the remote control and walk over to Jared with her Coke. “I like
a little more cheese.”
