“It’s not that serious. I just need some sleep,” Nicole said flatly.
‘He doesn’t even want me out of the bed?! Lying like this for a whole day would just make my limbs stiff.’
“If you don’t want to, I can stay at home and watch over you, ” Jared continued as if he was threatening her.
Nicole had no choice but to compromise as she reluctantly said, “Fine, I get it.”
Initially, she had thought, Til just wait for Jared to go to work. What can he do then?’
But to her surprise, it seemed that Jared had seen through her thoughts.
He then gave her a meaningful glance and said, “I’ll have Tia look after you.”
Nicole’s lips began twitching violently once he had finished.’ Is this guy a mind reader?’
Nicole pouted and closed her eyes, ready to sleep. She had a look on her face that clearly said, “I don’t want to talk to you.”
Jared smiled indulgently as he laid down and pulled Nicole into his embrace…
The next day, the sun rose bright and high in the East.
Nicole was ordered to lie down once she had woken up, and to her surprise, Jared really had assigned Tia to look after her.
Seeing Tia bustling around, Nicole began to feel a little helpless. “Tia, sit down and take a break. I don’t need you to take care of me like this.”
Her injuries were superficial, and she had already recovered quite a bit after resting for two days. She just appeared tired due to the family gathering yesterday, which was why Jared had ordered her to stay in bed today. In reality, her injuries were really not that serious anymore. She could even go to work in a couple of days.
“Miss Nicole, you should still get some proper rest. That way, you’ll recover faster,” Tia advised.
“I know, I’m not asking you to leave. I just want you to stop being so busy. Come over here to chat with me, please.”
Since she was not allowed to get out of bed, she would be bored senseless on her own. Therefore, it would be nice if Tia could keep her company.
Hearing that, Tia sat down and asked, “What do you want to talk about, Miss Nicole?”
“Why does it feel so quiet outside?” Nicole asked with some confusion.
Nolan and Lana had gone off to kindergarten; Jared had jetted off to his office; and Stanley and Spencer had probably gone off to work too. This left Samuel and her
parents, who should be at home.
‘Still, why does it feel as if there is no activity in the house at all?’ she wondered.
“Mr. and Mrs. Riddle went out, and Mr. Samuel has been staying in his room. That’s why it’s quieter,” Tia answered.
“What are Mom and Dad doing?” Nicole asked curiously.
“I think they went off to finalize something about the wedding.” Tia frowned, the look on her facing indicating that she was not quite sure about the details.
Hearing that it was about the wedding, Nicole did not inquire any further. Her parents had been handling these matters on their own all along, so those were things she had little knowledge of.
Glancing at Tia, Nicole casually said, “Spencer and Samuel are both getting married now. That’s why my mom is getting more and more anxious about Stanley.”
“It seems that Mr. Stanley indeed doesn’t have a girlfriend. So, Mrs. Riddle’s concern is understandable.” Tia nodded in agreement.
‘If Mr. Stanley has a girlfriend, they probably wouldn’t be so anxious,’ she thought.
Nicole could not help but shake her head in frustration when she saw how calm Tia was.
It seemed that Stanley’s journey to win his potential wife over was indeed a long one, as Tia did not seem to notice that Stanley cared about her at all. This called into question about whether Stanley’s displays of affection were obvious enough for her to notice.
However, Nicole had noticed it, so it made no sense as to why Tia, the person who was directly involved, could not see it.
Observing Tia closely, Nicole realized that Tia was genuinely calm as if she was merely talking about someone else’s business, which had nothing to do with her.
Nicole bit her lip, deciding not to make mentions of Stanley in front of her anymore. After all, what would become of them would be determined by Stanley himself. If she spoke up on his behalf, it might complicate things and potentially result in an unfavorable outcome.
