Chapter 1544
Nicole's coyness made him even more fascinated in her.
"I haven't seen you for a while, Nicole. Why do I feel that you'd be a little shy every time you see me these days? Is this a case of the famous saying that states, absence makes the heart grow fonder?"
Nicole glared at him. "Shut up."
'This guy is getting even more sporadic with his teasing, as of recent,' she thought.
"How about...we consider getting married?" Jared suggested with a solemn look on his face.
Nicole was taken aback for a moment. "Jared, I have just become of age. I am still yet to reach the legal age for marriage."
'What is this b*stard thinking? I really wish I could pry open his brains sometimes to see what's inside,' Nicole thought.
"It's okay, we can host the wedding first," he said.
"And then?" Nicole raised her eyebrows, already able to guess that he must have something to say.
"And then, no one can stop us from living together," Jared said as though it was a matter of fact without a hint of embarrassment.
"Enough is enough," she protested. 'What is he trying to do? Scare my grandma to death?'
"No, none of it is enough." Jared wrapped his arm around her slender waist and brought himself closer to her face, their breaths almost fusing together.
Unable to take this anymore, she suddenly stood up.
"I’m full. It's best that I get going!" she cried.
'If I stick around any longer, I'd surely summon a wicked creature out of him!' Nicole thought to herself.
Jared noticed that Nicole, who had always been fearless, was squirming away from him, attempting to run away. Jared propped his chin with one hand in wicked fashion as he watched her leave playfully.
'I meant each and every word I've said earlier. I just want her tied to me as soon as possible. There are way too many people coveting her. Now that she has the Fire Crest, I'm worried there'll be even more rivals in the future. My girlfriend is too outstanding, and that has gotten us into a fair bit of trouble,’ he thought.
