Chapter 1119
"Would you be so kind as to further your explanation?" Nicole asked, unhappy at the sight of
Harvey laughing all by himself.
"Things like these can only be understood through experience, not words," Harvey said with
his brows raised. "I see that you are displaying a lot of interest in whatever they could be
talking about. Why don't you head over and say hi?"
"I'm not going to do that. You do so if you want." Nicole rolled her eyes and continued
eating.
"You're not even going to greet them, so why should I?" Harvey glanced at her.
Then, he continued eating as if nothing had happened. However, he was leaping with
utmost joy deep within.
Nicole took a few bites and realized that she could no longer stifle her curiosity. She looked
up and gazed off at Jared's general direction again. Coincidentally, her eyes met Jared's.
Seeing this, she whirled around and averted her gaze at once.

At this point, the air around Jared was becoming so stifling that even Fiorella, who was
preoccupied with her food, could feel it. As soon as she looked up, she was almost shocked
by the expression on his face.
"Jared, are you okay?" Fiorella looked at him, concerned.
Hearing Fiorella's voice, Jared quickly collected himself. He had lost all appetite at this juncture.
Then, he looked at Fiorella, maintaining his decorum as he said, " Fiorella, I have matters I must attend to. I need to
excuse myself. The meal is on me, so you may enjoy the food on your own time."
"Jared, what is the matter?" she asked. "Why are you in such a hurry? You didn't really eat much. Why not take a
few more bites before you leave?"
In truth, Fiorella wanted to make Jared stay for a while longer because she was not sure if Nicole had noticed them.
"No, I'm good. Bye." Jared took one last glance at Nicole and left at once.
"Jared, I'm coming with you." Fiorella rushed after him, wishing to leverage this opportunity.
Nicole noticed the commotion at Jared's table, but as soon as she glanced over her shoulder to catch a glimpse of
it, Jared had already walked out with Fiorella following right behind.
After having witnessed that, Nicole's appetite vanished. She placed her fork down and slumped back against her
chair. Harvey was able to register her feelings at once, during which he grabbed his juice and drank a little.
Then, he looked at Nicole. "It's fine. If you're unhappy, just let it all out. I'll pretend as if I didn't hear anything."
Nicole shot him a glance and maintained her silence. She did not need a listening ear. In fact, she could manage
the pain, and recover on her own.
"Are you done eating?" Nicole asked after a long pause.
"We still have a lot of time." Harvey looked at her with his
forehead creased. "Are you done yet?"
"Yeah, you can take your time." Nicole said that and stood up. "I'll get the bill."
But as she was about to turn around and grab her belongings, Harvey stopped her. "What do you mean? Are you
leaving already?"
"Yeah."
Harvey dropped his fork and looked at Nicole, "Where are you going?"
"Home," she replied. "Where else would I go to?"
"I'm coming along." Harvey stood up, ready to leave with her as he did not wish to eat

"It's fine. It wouldn't be convenient for us. You should finish up the food, or else it'd be a
waste." Nicole smiled and left the restaurant.
Harvey stared at Nicole as she walked out. As she had not eaten her share, Harvey
understood that anyone would be unhappy if they were to see their other half having a meal
with someone of the opposite gender. This applied to Nicole as well.
However, the more distant they were, the better it would be for Harvey, and hence a higher
chance for him to make Nicole his.
With that in mind, Harvey sat down and continued eating, relaxed in light of that which had
transpired.
On her way back to the Sea View Villa, Nicole could not stop thinking about the scene where
Jared and Fiorella were having a laugh together. 'How could he be this happy around her?
And the worst part is, he saw me but never bothered to say hi?'
Concurrently, Jared was also furious as he sat in the car. 'When she went out with Carl the
other day, she almost got into trouble. Why is she hanging out with that b*stard, Harvey,
again today? Has she lost all of her feelings for me already?'
