Chapter 1962
At that moment, Nicole could not concentrate, but she also noticed how close Jared was to her.
She stared at him in shock and realized that her arm was wrapped around his waist without her knowing that she
was doing just that. Furthermore, Jared's arm was resting on her shoulder too!
"Damn it!" Nicole instinctively shoved Jared away.
Little did she know that Jared was already on the edge of the bed, and after she pushed him, he fell off onto the
floor.
"Ugh!” Jared groaned, feeling disoriented after being woken up from a deep sleep.
He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Nicole. "What are you doing?!”
"I... I, You! Why did you come so close to me?" Nicole pointed at him and pointed back to herself as she stuttered.
With a look of defeat on his face, he replied, "Look closely. You were the one who crossed the line and hugged me

'This woman was sleeping like a kitten mere seconds ago. Look at her now, becoming all heartless once she was
woken up. She had the nerve to shove me away after using me! How absurd!' he thought.
"How could I possibly do that?" Nicole asked in disbelief.
However, when she looked down, she realized that she had indeed occupied two-thirds of the bed.
'My goodness! Did I really hug him first last night? And gosh, I pushed him off the bed after I woke up! That's sort of
unacceptable,' she thought.
With that, she became so embarrassed that she covered her face and said, "l-l'm going to take a shower!"
Unable to stomach the feeling of shame anymore, she fled the scene.
Following the fall, Jared's waist ached as he stood up slowly. However, when he saw Nicole running away, he shook
his head affectionately.
Out of all the people in the world, she was the only one who would dare treat him like that.
Soon after, it was breakfast time. Nicole and Jared awkwardly headed downstairs with each other, while the rest of
the family were already at the table.
"Nicole, come over and have your breakfast." Gloria beckoned, looking a lot more energetic today..
Nicole walked over, and naturally, Jared sat beside her again.
And as usual, Nolan was not happy with that. "I want to sit with Mommy!"
He was about to stir the pot again when Gloria quickly stopped him. "Sure. Nolan, come here and sit between me
and Mommy, okay?"
She was not going to let him squeeze her son-in-law away.
Nolan got upset when he heard that Gloria was offering to give her seat up instead of asking Jared to move.
Then, he said, "It's okay, grandma. Your legs are hurting, and you should avoid moving around too much."
Earlier, Nolan noticed that Gloria had trouble walking, and that someone had to help her down the flight of stairs
earlier. And as he was a very sensible kid, he did not insist.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow delighted, Jared continued to have his breakfast with Nicole.
They were done with their meal in short order, and that was when Daniel said, "I'm planning to go back to the
family manor and tell your grandpa about this great news.
However, the old man will probably want us to stay in the family manor at night to do something for Nicole. Please
be prepared."
He shifted his gaze to Nicole as if to ask her opinion on that.
Nicole was surprised. She did not anticipate that she would meet her grandpa and other people after just reuniting
with her parents yesterday. To her, it was a bit too much to process.
Then, Daniel sighed and continued before Nicole could respond. "Your grandpa fell sick last night, and earlier this
year, he even became bedridden. However, he hasn't stopped thinking about you. I'm afraid that he'll pass away
anytime now...and that too without knowing that you've returned."
Nicole was at a loss for words after hearing how sorrowful Daniel sounded.
She had no idea that her grandfather was in such a critical condition.
