Chapter 720
Nicole could not care less about Snow and Raine. After the meal, she turned on the screen of her phone to send a text message.
[I’m going back to the campus.]
[I’ll pick you up.] the other side replied at once.
Nicole looked at the reply with a smile in her eyes, as if she felt his eagerness.
[Okay.]
Then, she tucked the phone back into her pocket before she got up and said goodbye to Mr. Riddle Sr. and others. “Grandpa, Jared is picking me up. I’ll go back to the campus.”
“Okay, enjoy your time together.” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole with a smile. He would be happy to see Nicole spend her time with Jared-the longer, the better.
Nicole nodded and then turned and left.
She saw a car pulled up in front of her with Jared inside as soon as she stepped out of the gate of the Riddle Mansion.
He looked at her and smiled with his eyes narrowed. “Have you missed me these past few days?”
Nicole smiled.
“Yes.”
Jared saw the bright smile on her lips, beautiful and enchanting. “It looks like you miss me a lot. But why didn’t you text me?” He had only received one text message from her in the past few days.
Nicole was startled for a second as if not expecting this question. “Didn’t you say you’d be busy?”
He did not know what to say upon hearing her answer. Jared felt his chest tight with a sense of disappointment,
“I said I would be busy, but not to the point of not being able to answer calls or read messages. You’ve never sent me a single text message. How cruel.”
It was he who made the initiative to contact her all this while, but for the past few days, he had deliberately tried to see if she would contact him. Jared waited and was disappointed; she never made the first move.
