‘Is Lyana something Raine should be calling her?’ Thinking of this, Mr. Riddle Sr.’s gaze
towards Dillon got even colder.
He slowly walked back to his room as Daniel carefully helped him. Snow and Raine looked at each
other and was somewhat at a loss.
Ever since Mr. Riddle Sr. got sick, they felt that he had inexplicably distanced himself from the both of
them, and instead got closer to Daniel and Nicole.
When they thought of it, the two were resentful.
However, no one dared to disobey Mr. Riddle Sr as they reluctantly followed him into his room.
Daniel thoughtfully exited the room and closed the door for them.
Yet, Raine rolled her eyes in secret.
She had always looked down on Uncle Daniel, and he was just being contrived with that act!
Mr. Riddle Sr. saw her expression, but his face betrayed no emotions.
“Raine, you’re looking down on your Uncle Daniel, no?”
When Raine heard that she was shocked. Recalling the attitude Mr. Riddle Sr. towards her family and
dared not say yes, so she immediately lowered her head and said, “No.”
Mr. Riddle Sr. then turned towards Snow. “How about you, Snow?”
The smile had since long left Snow’s face as she stood there with her face down and said no.
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at his two granddaughters as he gently closed his eyes. When he opened it
again, his old eyes were radiating with brilliance. Outside the Riddle manor, Jared saw Nicole coming
out so quickly. A perplexed look appeared on his face as a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
“What’s the matter? You look horrible. Were you bullied?”
Nicole looked at him. There was no change in her expression, but she let out a sigh.
“I’m just a little tired.”
Some people will only forever see what they wanted to see, hear what they wanted to hear, instead of
opening their eyes and see what the truth is like.
Jared looked thoughtfully at Nicole, and then turned to Claus as he said.
“Get down.”
Claus did not dare to ask any questions as he got out of the car.
‘No choice, he’s the boss.’
Jared then sat directly onto the driver’s seat.
Nicole was a little surprised at Jared’s behavior, but she did not say anything as she opened the car
door and got into the co-driver seat.
Jared looked very gently at her as he leaned over and help her put on the seatbelt.
His fingers were long and slender, when Nicole looked at his movements, she was a little entranced.
TOSS
When he lifted his body, Nicole did not dodge as her lips gently brushed across his cheeks, bringing
her a numbness that was beyond words.
Jared’s long brows trembled a little as he sat back onto his seat normally as he cast a smile at Nicole.
“Sit tight.”
Nicole was a little startled, but seeing him so calm, she was relieved.
She then let out a gentle “Okay.” Jared’s driving was steady, and she felt what he said was completely
unnecessary. However, a second later, the sudden jolt of speed made her look at him in surprise. There
was not much expression on his face, but his hands on the steering were squeezing it tightly.
He continued to step on the accelerator and as Jared listened to the wind outside, he finally felt that the
restlessness in his heart had merged with the roar of the engine, making it not obvious to anyone
around him.
He felt an itch.
It was not only the spot where Nicole had accidentally pecked him, it was an uncontrollable itch that
roiled within him, causing a tsunami of emotions to kick off inside him.
