Chapter 2688
"I didn’t expect that so much had happened back at home during our honeymoon." Lulu sighed.
"Don't think too much about it. Get yourself a good night’s sleep and head back to work tomorrow," Spencer
comforted her as he held her hand.
After flashing him a smile, Lulu asked, "There's a chance that I'll get really busy starting from tomorrow. Will you
ever feel as if I'm neglecting you when that happens?"
"No, it's fine. I have a backlog of work to clear as well, but it's not too much. I can still take care of myself and you
as well." Spencer returned her smile.
Lulu's cheeks reddened at once, giving her an even more endearing look.
Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were on their way to the Riddle residence.
"You came back from Grandpa's place. Why didn't you just go home?" Nicole asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had not expected Jared to come and get her. If anything, she thought he had gone home on his own.
"I thought you wouldn't take long," he replied.
Initially, he had planned to go home to the Riddle residence, but due to the fact that it was convenient, he came
over with the aim of picking her up and going home together.
"Why didn't you come in when you arrived?" Nicole asked.
She knew that he must have been waiting for her for a long time, although he was silent about it.
"I didn't want to disturb you," he replied.
Jared thought it would be a good idea to let her unwind and blow some steam when he saw her chatting with her
friends in such joyful fashion.
Then, Nicole raised her eyebrows in surprise. "So you haven't had dinner yet?"
As it turned out, he had been waiting for her until late at night without a single bite of food.
"I'll have some grub when I get back." Jared gently embraced Nicole, thinking that it was not a problem to have a
late dinner.
Nicole, however, begged to differ as she sighed in defeat." You're not allowed to do this from here on out."
Jared not taking care of his body was something she could not accept. She could go home on her own, or she could
even hitch a ride from Samuel and Spencer. How could he wait for her while he starved?
Jared looked at Nicole and smiled. "So, you do care about me."
"Of course I do. If you do not want me to get all worried sick, you have to take care of yourself! Got it?" Nicole eyed
Jared sternly.
Upon hearing that, Jared's eyes narrowed as his smile became wider. He lowered his head and kissed her on the
forehead.
"Since you care about me, don't leave me on my own ever again," he said.
Nicole blinked her eyes in confusion. 'Is he trying to be cute now?’
Jared, however, was acting as if nothing had happened. He continued embracing Nicole without feeling that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanything had been out of place moments ago.
Nicole was amused by this nonetheless. His calmness had almost even tricked her into believing that she was
mistaken earlier.
When they arrived at the Riddle residence, they came to realize that the cooks and the housekeepers were no
longer around. After figuring that they must have gone back to their rooms, Nicole hurried to the kitchen and
whipped up a bowl of creamy soup noodles for Jared.
"Here, the simplest meal I can come up with. Eat up."
She had made the quickest dish she could muster as she was worried that he might be hungry. Although it was just
a simple bowl of noodles, she had also added vegetables, meat, and eggs into the mix, ensuring that it was
nutritious.
Jared's eyes softened as she looked at the bowl of noodles, which was nothing short of scrumptious.
In no time, Jared had scarfed the entire bowl of noodles
down. However, he still felt hungry.
Nicole was amused as she handed a paper towel to Jared." You have food on your face. Let me wipe it for you."
Jared looked at the towel in her hand without grabbing it. All he did was stare at her.
