Nicole looked at Samuel and Spencer. In turn, the two girls looked at Nicole, feeling bashful.
It was not the boys who were unwilling to announce their relationship, but the girls. It seemed like both couples had agreed on it earlier on. Neither of them would talk about it, so the boys had no choice but to remain silent as they waited for approval from the ladies.
In fact, the boys also felt aggrieved. They had girlfriends and yet, their relationship remained a secret.
“Well, it all depends on you two.” Nicole shrugged her shoulders, seemingly helpless.
Since this was June and Lulu’s decision, Samuel and Spencer could only try to move the ladies’ hearts with their actions and sincerity.
After all, one could tell that the ladies cared about Samuel and Spencer a lot. As long as the two boys were sincere and determined enough, they could get the ladies to agree.
Samuel and Spencer sighed. Without Nicole’s help, the boys would have to go a long way to achieve that.
Nicole shot a pointed look at the two boys. “It’s getting late. You guys should send June and Lulu home now.”
“Alright then. You should get some rest too.”
June and Lulu got ready to leave.
Samuel and Spencer followed the two ladies out. Looking at the four of them, Nicole smiled.
“There’s no need to worry about them. They can handle themselves,” said Jared, holding Nicole’s hand and bringing her upstairs.
Nicole frowned as she muttered, “What about Stanley? Are you saying he’s hopeless?”
Although everyone was at different stages in life, everyone had found their own happiness, except for Stanley.
The image of Stanley and Tia together flashed across Nicole’s mind. Somehow, that image felt wholesome. In fact, which was the first time Nicole had seen such a gentle side from Stanley.
Jared lowered his gaze, looked at her and said solemnly,” Instead of caring about other people’s business, why don’t you think about me instead?”
“You? Since when you needed attention?”
Something flashed in Jared’s eyes. Nicole cared about everyone else except him. Jared felt that it was unfair.
“You haven’t recovered your memory, but you’ve accepted your parents. You’ve accepted your brothers. You’ve even acknowledged your best friends. Why are you choosing to not accept me? We even have a marriage certificate.” His face was filled with grief as he complained.
Nicole shook her head and laughed. ’Jared, aren’t you acting a little too childish? Are you jealous of them?”
She had heard of people being jealous of their rivals in love. But this was the first time she heard of someone getting jealous of the partner’s family.
“What if I said yes?” Jared’s gaze darkened. All he wanted was to be treated fairly.
He was also an important person in her heart. It was one thing for her to not remember him, but it was another for her to not acknowledge him.
“Fine, you’re different from them,” Nicole answered, sounding annoyed. “If you could act normal with me like my family can, I’ll acknowledge you as well.”
“Normal?” Jared frowned. What about him was not normal?
Nicole bit her lip slightly and explained, “Just maintain a certain distance. Don’t get too close to me.”
“This is normal for a married couple. Other than that, I’ve never had—”
Feeling panicked, Nicole reached out to cover Jared’s mouth with her hands to stop him from finishing his sentence.
Does he not know how to control himself? How can he talk about these things so casually?’
“Don’t say anything ridiculous,” Nicole warned Jared as he looked at her. What she did not know was that her cheeks were flushed red.
A hint of mischief lit up Jared’s eyes. He pulled Nicole’s hands away and replied in a meaningful tone, “Did I say something wrong?”
