Jared smiled and nodded.
"Grandma, you stay here and keep watching TV while Jared and I take a stroll," Nicole said so that
Mrs.Wallace Sr.would not think she had left.
"Okay, go ahead."
With that, Nicole and Jared headed to the rooftop.
"The view from the rooftop is still the best,"
Nicole said, facing the sea.
"You love it here?"
Jared looked over at her.
"Yeah.I like this place very much.Drinking coffee and embracing the sea breeze here is so relaxing.I
enjoy living here." Nicole expressed her feelings.
"If you like it here, you can always stay here." Nicole gave him a look.
"It is easy for you to say. How can I bring myself to let you live in the villa alone?" Jared smiled and
hugged her.
"So, you are doing this for me?"
"How about we move nearby, too?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Jared was willing to move to the beach for Nicole.
"Is that okay?"
Nicole looked at Jared with a surprised look on her face.
"What is not to like? Anything if you like it."
Jared looked at her fondly.
"You're so nice."
Nicole leaned against his chest.Nicole and Jared spent the afternoon on the rooftop in the sea breeze.
"Nicole, Mr.Johnston, you are not leaving tonight, are you?" Tia asked.
"Yeah.We will stay here tonight.It is more convenient for us to bring Grandma to the medical check-up
tomorrow."
"What would you like for dinner tonight?" Tia asked again.
"The usual dishes will do."
Nicole did not like to get too extravagant and wasteful.It was just a meal.
Unnecessary to make it like the New Year's dinner.
"Okay, I will prepare it right away."
After dinner, Nicole and Jared were in the garden with Mrs.Wallace Sr.watering the flowers.
Nicole then suggested by saying, "Shall we go for a walk on the beach?"
"Yeah."
Jared had not taken a walk on the beach in so long, so much so that he had almost forgotten what it
felt like to step in the sand.As the two walked hand in hand toward the beach, Jared looked out to sea
and asked, "Did you order many medical devices from Martin?"
"Yeah."
"You didn't order those devices for Zane's organization, did you?"
Jared wanted to be sure of what he thought.
"You are right.We need a device as good as The Beacon badly."
"Jared, please do me a favor: don't sell The Beacon to The Raven.If a product like The Beacon falls
into their hands, I'm afraid there will be more places that will suffer harm."
This was a problem that Nicole had been worried about.
If The Beacon was placed in the hands of good people, it was a wonderful product for the benefit of the
country and the people; if it fell into the wrong hands, it would become an aid of evil.
"It is not so easy.I can control who we sell to, but I have no control over who they will resell to."
Jared was telling the truth; there was nothing he could do about this.
"So, what should we do? We can't just do nothing, right?"
"There is another way: limit the sale of The Beacon to the domestic market only so that it might be
safer.Even if there is a leakage, it would only be a small percentage."
Jared could only think of this solution for now.
"This seems to be the only solution now.We must also think of a better way.Otherwise, the domestic
demand will be saturated within a few years, and the product will still have to be exported."
Nicole felt that not exporting was not the best solution and that there must be a better way.
"Don't worry about it.Just sit down with Martin some day and talk about it.Maybe he will have some
ideas."
Jared reassured her.
"That is the only way to go.There are really no two ways about it."
While speaking, Nicole picked up a stone and threw it into the sea.
"Jared, have you ever played stone skipping?" Nicole looked over at him.
