Chapter 1937
For some unknown reason, Niki felt an intense feeling of familiarity washing over her as soon as she stepped out of the car, and in her mind, there were even more blurry memories drifting around.
She involuntarily gazed off at the house located next to the mansion. 'Why do I feel as if I'm familiar with both of the houses? What is going on?'
Jared's eyes lit up with suspicion as he observed the look of confusion on Niki's face, which made it seem as if this was her first time here. Soon, Nolan got out of the car behind them and threw himself into Niki's arms.
"Mommy! He didn't hurt you, right?" Nolan glared at Jared.
Niki, fearing that Nolan would raise his ire, immediately lifted the former into her embrace. "He did not. You can keep your worries at bay."
Nolan finally settled down after her words of reassurance. Jared, on the other hand, had felt an inexplicable sense of anguish when Nolan directed his hostile gaze at him.
Nonetheless, he still spoke to them gently. "Let's get in."
Niki did not dare to offend him recklessly, so she followed him inside. Ian was not present here, so she had to find a way to make this man let go of him. To soothe his emotions, she accompanied him into the living room.
However, the closer she got to the living room, the stronger that sense of familiarity became. At this point, Niki began to believe Mr. Leo, who had stated that she had once lived in Hustuaburg. Perhaps that was why she felt such an overwhelming sense of familiarity with this place.
Jared slowly walked over as Niki surveyed her surroundings with a strange expression on her face. He then took his coat off and made a cup of coffee for her.
Niki regarded Jared with some suspicion as she looked at the mug of coffee. 'Why is this guy so kind? He even made me a cup of coffee."
Jared glanced at her, asking, "What is it? Are you afraid that I've poisoned it?"
Niki's eyes dimmed slightly, knowing full well that this was a tactic to provoke her.
