Chapter 1982
Jared's actions were smooth like butter. Nicole had almost believed that they were an old married couple.
Lawrence noticed Jared's actions and copied them. He poured a glass of warm water for Nicole. "You should eat less of the raw food. It’s not good for your health."
Jared and Lawrence both looked at each other. If they were in a comic, one would see the lasers zapping out from their eye contact. Nicole wished the earth would open up and swallow her to get her away from all the embarrassment.
"Thanks, guys," Nicole said before lowering her head in embarrassment.
However, the battle between these two men was not over yet. Jared served Nicole a bowl of soup. "Here, have some soup. It's more nutritious than water."
Lawrence ignored Jared and gave Nicole a smile before putting some vegetables onto her plate. "Don't drink too much soup. Here, have some veggies."
The jealousy between the two men made Nicole extremely uncomfortable.
Jared was unwilling to admit defeat. He noticed a grain of rice on the corner of Nicole's mouth. Jared reached out his hand and wiped it off for her. Nicole blushed instantly and hid her face.
Witnessing Jared wiping off the grain of rice, Lawrence's facial expression changed instantly. He quickly grabbed a ply of tissue and wiped the corner of Nicole's mouth.
Nicole, who had enough of the two men projecting their childish rivalry onto her, stood up abruptly. "Enough!'
The sudden outburst led the entire room to quiet down. Nicole could not bear it anymore. "I just want to eat my meal in peace. Could you two let me do that?"
The feeling of having two childish men competing on either side of her had made Nicole queasy and unable to eat peacefully!
Jared and Lawrence both turned to look at Nicole before looking at each other, both complaining about one another.
In the end, Jared pulled Nicole down to her seat. "Alright. Sit down and eat."
