Chapter 2260
The corners of Nicole's lips lifted as she shook her head lightly. 'As I had expected, as hard it was before to push him away, it is equally as hard to resist the temptation now.'
Nicole changed into a fresh pair of pajamas before laying down on her bed to get some shuteye. It was the first time Nicole had laid down in an empty bed without him as she looked at the empty space next to her.
Nicole reached for her phone, wanting to give Jared a call.
'He might be busy. No, I should not bother him.’ Nicole hesitated.
Late in the night, Jared returned to the Riddle residence where he saw that Nicole was already fast asleep on the bed. Jared softened his movements, not wanting to wake Nicole up.
Jared quickly showered up and got into bed with Nicole. He frowned when he saw that Nicole was fast asleep with her phone in her hand. He gently took her phone out of her grasp, and that was when the screen lit up, showing Jared's contact. Jared squinted his eyes as he stared at her phone, and soon, a flash of softness crossed his eyes.
He reached out and gently caressed Nicole's cheek, 'Did she miss me and wanted to call me?1
Feeling warm and fuzzy, he pulled Nicole into his arms and hugged her tightly.
As her eyes flickered open in confusion, she muttered," You're back."
"Yeah," Jared whispered, whereupon Nicole leaned into his embrace before falling back asleep.
Jared stared at Nicole lovingly as she slept soundly. He let out a soft sigh as he slowly fell asleep.
The next morning, the bright and warm sun rays beamed into the room. When Nicole opened her eyes, she saw that Jared was still fast asleep. She gently slipped out of bed, careful to not wake him up. However, Jared stirred as soon as Nicole moved.
"Sorry I woke you up," she apologized, feeling guilty for waking Jared up.
