Chapter 2004
Nicole glared at Jared the second he asked her that question. He was obviously playing dumb, and she did not believe that he did not know what she meant.
"You're well aware of that," she said through gritted teeth.
"Like this?" Jared extended his long arms and pulled her in by her waist, before planting a kiss on her lips.
This time, he did not just give her a peck. His domineering presence was so strong that it felt as though he was going to devour her.
Nicole attempted to break free, but Jared had already locked her in his arms, denying her the chance to escape.
Then, they heard a knock at the door.
"Are you awake, Mommy?" an adorable voice asked in concern.
Nicole recollected herself and pushed Jared away. While Jared was distracted, Nicole had already backed away by a few steps. Her heart was racing, but she did not have the time to calm down. She simply righted her clothes and opened the door when she saw her darling children outside.
"Mommy, it's time for breakfast. Everyone's waiting for you," Nolan reminded her as he looked up.
"Alright, let's eat." Nicole said, her heart still pounding in her chest, though she was trying her best to not show it.
Jared, who was ready to toss all restraint out of the window a few seconds ago, calmed down as well. His self-control was nowhere to be found whenever he was with Nicole.
"Daddy, aren't you joining us?" Lana asked. 'Mommy and Nolan have already left, but why is Daddy still here? He looks like he has something on his mind.'
Jared's heart melted when he saw how considerate Lana was.
He held her up and said, "Okay, let's go now."
