Chapter 789

Naturally, she could not say it was a glass of wine.

Otherwise, it would be no different from telling him who had drugged him directly.

With Jared's temperament, he certainly would leave no one who harmed him unharmed.

After all, that person was also part of the Riddle family, and she did not want to implicate them.

"Since you have got better.Let me drive you home."

"Okay."

Nicole helped Jared out of the hospital.Inside the villa, Nicole helped Jared sit on the couch.

"Have a good rest.I'll leave now."

Nicole was just about to get up when he suddenly heard Jared's wailing voice.

"What's wrong?"

Nicole immediately sat back down beside him.

"I have a headache.Can you stay with me?"

Jared's shrewd eyes glanced at Nicole's expression.Nicole was in a dilemma.

After all, Jared had just proposed to her, and if the two of them stayed together for the night, the
paparazzi would make a headline if they found out.But seeing Jared's condition, she could not bring
herself to leave him alone in the villa.



"I'm so thirsty."

Jared quickly feigned at seeing Nicole's hesitation.

"I will pour you water.Just a moment."

Nicole immediately got up and off she went.Jared smiled triumphantly as he looked at Nicole from
behind.

"Here you go.Drink it slowly."

Jared took a few sips from the glass and preemptively said, "Do you want me to call your family?"

"It's okay.I'll call them in a minute.You rest well.I'll be here with you." Nicole assured him.

Jared got his way, leaning back on the couch and closing his eyes, giving her a chance to make a
phone call.

After a while, Nicole returned to Jared and patted him gently.

"Go to your room and sleep."

With Nicole's help, Jared went into the room to rest.

Two people snuggled up together and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Jared went to work.

Because it was a day off, Nicole went home.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Daniel, Gloria, and her five brothers sitting on the couch
while watching TV and chatting.



All eyes were on her, and Gloria rose to meet her.

"Come sit down on the couch."

Everyone spontaneously gave up the middle seat for her.

Gloria glanced at Daniel, then asked a question everyone was concerned about.

"What was going on, Nicole? How come Jared openly proposed to you yesterday?"

"Yeah.Why didn’t I hear you say before that you're getting engaged? I didn't expect your relationship
with Jared had developed so quickly."

Daniel looked bewildered.

After returning from the party yesterday, shock and questions filled the minds of everyone in the family,
and he and Gloria had not slept well all night.

Nicole looked at them, who were looking curiously at her and waiting for her answer.She smiled,
knowing that what happened yesterday was a bolt from the blue for everyone.

"Mom, Dad, I was just as shocked you all were by what happened yesterday.I got along well with Jared,
but I didn't expect him to propose to me at the party."

As excellent as Nicole was in virtually all aspects, she was just a normal girl who would feel shy like
anyone else, especially when someone proposed to her.

Daniel and Gloria looked at Nicole's bashful expression and smiled.

"It's okay.It's a good thing.We are happy for you," Daniel said with a smile.



Stanley interjected.

"Absolutely.We haven't had such a merry occasion happening in a long time.I'm so happy for you."

Sean hesitated for a while but asked at last, "You've been in a relationship with Jared for so long, but
we've never heard you mention his relationship with JJ Johnston Group.Didn't he even tell you?"

"I'm indeed in a relationship with him, but we have never talked about his business.I'm not curious
about these things either," Nicole said.

"After Nicole and Jared get engaged, we will have a lot of business opportunities."

Steve's eyes lit up at the thought about the good things that might come along.
