Chapter 745

But with what she knew about Lloyd, he could only turn back after he tried as hard as he could.

Nachelle looked at the clear water-like sky that flew past the window outside with a hint of upset look
on her face.

If the path is wrong, one should not continue in the same direction. But she lost Lloyd back then and
now felt guilty for him and could not help but give him whatever he wanted. So even if Lloyd’s rival was
Jared, she would work hard for her son.

Nachelle sighed tiredly. As she handed the reports in her hand to her assistant, her eyes spotted a line
of text in the report.

[The budget for the selection of female lead from major universities has been disbursed.]

As if reminding her of something, she thought of Nicole’s approximate age, and her eyes glinted. She
immediately picked up her phone and made a call with an unconcealable joy in her eyes. 2

Jared had brought Nicole back to his villa.

Because of Nicole’s injury and the condition in the dormitory, Jared forced Nicole to request a leave of
absence from Ms. Emerson and asked her to stay at his villa.

Nicole did not resent it, either. Jared’s villa was the only place where she could let her guard down.

“Thank you.” Nicole looked at Jared gratefully.

Jared still felt jealous. “I’ve done some digging in Martin’s background. Isn’t he Mr. Wyance’s son?”

Nicole raised an eyebrow, not expecting Jared to act so fast.



“I’ve only met him once.” Nicole just slurred over the matter.

Jared’s expression was a little gloomy. “I heard he visited your house recently.”

Nicole smiled, not expecting that he had even found this out. “Yes.”

Seeing her smile, he got even more upset and drew her into his arms by force. “What was he doing at
your house?”

Nicole had never seen Jared so bothered about anything, so she decided to keep him in suspense.
“Take a guess.”

Jared was dysphoric. “Mr. Wyance is the future governor, and he cares about you very much. He was
probably going there to propose a marriage.”

Nicole could not help but burst into laughter, amused by how imaginative Jared was when he got
jealous. “I didn’t know that you were a novelist.”

Seeing her laughing at him, Jared became furious. He pushed her down on the couch and pressed her
underneath. “I’m not kidding you.”

He looked so serious that Nicole got lost in the depths of his eyes. She smiled helplessly. “Put away
your wild thoughts. I’m yours alone.”

These simple words of hers had rid all his irritability and anxiety.

Jared felt frustrated with his recent sense of insecurity. Now he finally calmed down. He looked at
Nicole’s face, which was only a foot away from his, and could not help but kiss her.

Nicole did not refuse as he came down with his kisses. She was also reciprocating his action, but it
was clumsy.



But Jared was more than happy. Upon getting her response, he was delighted and embraced her even
more. It felt as if a century had passed before Jared let go of her.

He stared at her blushed face and let out an evilly charming smile. “There’s some progress.”

Nicole blushed even more when Jared teased him. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his
neck. “It’s a vast improvement, mind you.”
