Chapter 694

The feeling of holding her was really reassuring.

Nicole’s heart pounded wildly, but she could feel his gentleness and sincerity.

She could only utter a “good night” after a long while. “Hmm.” Jared smiled contentedly and closed his
eyes slowly.

Nicole wrapped her arms around his waist, and for the first time, she could sleep peacefully. It was a
dreamless night for Nicole.

When she woke up again, the sun had poured into the room. Nicole got up, but Jared was nowhere to
be seen. As she went downstairs , she smelled the aroma of food in the air. Leaning against the railing,
she looked at the man, who was busy in the kitchen.

Sunlight shone on Jared. He was wearing a white shirt and a minimalistic black apron, exuding a kind
of ascetic male aura.

Nicole was almost completely captivated. She felt touched and warmhearted with such a graceful man
making breakfast for her.

When the man came out of the kitchen and saw her on the stairs, he could not help but squint his eyes
with a smile.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning.” Nicole let out a warm smile and walked down the stairs.



Jared put the breakfast down and turned around, only to be held by the little woman on his waist. His
expression softened in an instant.

“What’s wrong?”

Nicole looked up at him with a serious face. “It feels like home.”

Jared immediately understood what she meant, and he felt the same. With this little woman in the
house, it really felt like home.

The last time he felt this way was when his parents were still alive. He reached out and hugged Nicole
in return.

The two were like people who had been wandering for a long time and finally found a harbor, licking
each other’s wounds to make up for the previous pain. After a long while, Jared took her to sit down for
breakfast. “I may be a little busy lately, and I guess I won’t go to the café too often.” He looked at her
with a smile as if he was a husband who was about to go on a business trip. Nicole let out a warm
smile, seemingly enjoying the feeling. “Okay, go busy with your things. Remember to call me when you
miss me.” She smiled cooperatively.

It was the first time Nicole had allowed him to call her, and Jared couldn’t help but smile. “Got it,
honey.” 1

Nicole did not object to how he addressed her this time.

The two of them finished their breakfast, and Max came to pick them up. Jared took Nicole’s hand, got
into the car together, and sent Nicole back to the Royal Creek Institute.

Arriving at the destination and before getting out of the car, Jared looked at Nicole dotingly. “Remember
to miss me.”



Nicole let out a sweet smile , nodded, and whispered a” goodbye.” Jared looked on with a smile as she
went. It surprised Max to see the lovey-dovey energy in the two of them. ‘I know my boss is out of his
character lately, but that sweet smile on Nicole’s face-is she still the Nicole I know?’
