Chapter 2076
Although Nicole did not have a headache, her memory was a blank slate. Everything that just happened felt familiar, yet it did not seem like a sign of memory recovery.
"It's okay. I’ll contact Martin and discuss it with him," Jared reassured Nicole, holding her delicate hand gently.
His broad palm and warm touch instantly dissipated Nicole's feelings of anxiety and loss, and she suddenly felt at ease.
Looking up at Jared, Nicole slightly bit her lip and whispered, "Thank you for being by my side all this time."
Ever since she returned to San Joto and regained her identity, she would feel reassured as long as Jared was with her whenever something happened.
Jared gently stroked her silky hair and softly said, "No need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you for finally coming back to me."
If she had not returned, his future would still be bleak, devoid of any color.
Nicole's heart skipped a beat, deeply moved by his words. She could imagine how he had spent the last five years and could not help but feel sorry for him.
Biting her lip lightly, Nicole did not know how to comfort Jared, as the root of his pain was her.
Jared seemed to see through her dilemma and smiled slyly. "So, you owe me something."
Nicole blinked in surprise. "How should I make it up to you?"
Jared smirked, gently holding Nicole's delicate chin. Her cheeks instantly turned red, and she instinctively wanted to dodge, but she heard Jared say, "Do it... by never leaving me again."
"Huh?" Nicole suddenly froze. Her mouth was slightly agape as she blinked in confusion. 'That's all?'
A wicked smile tugged at the corner of Jared's lips." Judging by your expression, it seems that what I want and what you expected are not quite the same."
