Chapter 1500
"Not bad. It tastes better than all of the previous ones I've tried. Oh, and I must add, the aftertaste is very strong," she said.
Jared could not help but flash her a smile upon hearing Nicole's professional feedback. "I guess it's only right that I give the best stuff to the expert.''
Nicole returned the smile before she placed the cup down and began eating.
She looked at Jared and said as she chewed. "You're looking very pale. You haven't been sleeping for the past two days, have you?"
'This dude is reckless. He came to save me right after he woke up from a head injury. How ridiculous,' she thought.
"It's fine. I'll get better by staying here with you," Jared said in nonchalant fashion.
Nicole's heart melted, and in a flirtatious manner, she teased, "Cut it off. Nobody knows your body better than me. You've got to bed down in a hospital after we get back later."
'This guy suffered major injuries because of me, yet he disregarded his own health and safety, and rushed out of the hospital just to save me. Does he really think that he's made of steel?' she thought.
"Hospital?" Jared lifted his brows. "I guess not. My grandfather is expecting you."
"Grandfather?" It was then that Nicole realized that Jared's grandfather had come to visit him in the previous video recording. 'He probably knows something...'
Everything else would make sense if the Johnston family was a part of the Holy Alliance.
Noticing Nicole's look of concern, he said, "Don't worry. My grandfather just wants to know what really happened. He's very glad that you own the crest now. After all, you're the future wife of his grandson. It's not an issue that you have the crest to make our family stronger.
Nicole looked at him. "Are you sure? Is that what your grandfather thinks? I'm just worried that everyone else will think that I'm a burden..."
"My family isn't afraid of anything." Jared looked at Nicole sternly to reassure her.
Nicole immediately felt a lot better and as of now, she even began to admire the choice she had made.
