Things were coming to an end.
Nicole had not talked to her family much these few days, but her elder brother still sent a message in
the mornings.
‘Mom and dad must be worried" she thought.
She then turned to Carl and Elijah and said, "I'll leave the follow- up to you.There are still matters I
need to attend to at school."
Eber and the others looked at each other in dismay when they heard Nicole's words.
‘Why does a genius like her need to go to school?’ they thought.
"Okay, I'll send someone to drive you," Elijah said.
"There's no need for that.I've prepared a private jet.We'll go back in an hour," Jared replied with a
smile.
He looked at Carl when he said those last few words as if to provoke anger.
Carl ignored him and turned to Nicole, "I'll be back in a few days after everything here is settled."
The family matter has not been fully resolved, so Carl could not leave yet.
Though, he would go with her in a heartbeat if everything was under different circumstances.
"You better stay here, Carl.You will be a target if you go back after this," Nicole said solemnly while
everyone fell silent.
Carl was the head of the house's son, but he rarely appeared in public in the past.
This time, it would be different.Although the Thorne family had been suppressed for now, Carl would be
their target once they regain their strength.
"It would be best if you followed the arrangement."
Nicole had once exposed Carl's whereabouts when she answered his call rashly, but she will not make
that mistake again.Carl felt helpless.He could only lower his head and say, "Okay..."
After Nicole felt reassured, she nodded and said, "I've got to go now.Don't worry.We'll see each other
soon."
"Okay..."
Carl knew that they would meet again, but he was heartbroken to see Jared and her leaving together.
Everyone began to say their goodbyes to Nicole and left after she and Jared got into the car.
Elijah did not know what to say when he saw the disappointment plastered across Carl's face.So, he
thought it would be best for Carl to figure it out on his own.
Nicole and Jared were back in the country in less than half a day with the private jet.
As she got off the plane, she yawned.
"Still sleepy?" Jared asked with a smile on his face.
‘She was asleep the entire trip, but she's still sleepy?’ he thought.
"Well, I didn't get much sleep last night.I was up making improvements in the blueprints for the
Turmann family," she replied.
Jared felt for her after he heard that.He reached out his hand to pat her head and said, "It breaks my
heart to see you so exhausted. Nicole felt a warm sensation in her heart.”
‘When did this unaffectionate guy become such a romantic?"
She then looked back at him and said, "Aren't you mad anymore?"
"When was I mad?"
Jared frowned as he did not know what she was talking about.Nicole thought of what happened
yesterday and felt a little embarrassed.
"Umm...When you left the room yesterday..."
Jared immediately understood what she meant.He then smiled playfully and whispered something into
her ears.
Nicole blushed.She did not know where to look.
"Stop talking nonsense," she said.
‘When did he become like this?’
"I'm not.What can I do when my wife is this attractive?"
He teased.
Nicole rolled her eyes and said, "Stop it.We're home.Don't scare my parents."
