Chapter 1326

“That’s good,” she said.

“Can you be a peach and fall asleep on my shoulders all the time?” Jared requested out of the blue.

“What do you mean?” Nicole looked at him with her brows raised. ‘What is wrong with him? I’ve never heard of anyone asking others to fall asleep on their shoulders.

“If you do that, I can always get a massage from you.” Jared smiled at her.

“In your dreams!” Nicole pushed his arm away at once.

“Anyway, let’s head inside,” Nicole said, as she was preparing to stand up.

It was then that Jared grabbed her by the arm and said, “Everyone’s coming back for dinner tonight. If anyone asks US about our wedding during dinner, what would you say in response to them? Have you thought about it?”

“I don’t think anyone would ask.” Nicole frowned and looked at Jared nervously.

“That might not be the case. This time around, we came here to visit them together. Someone might accidentally let the question slip,” Jared replied with a suggestive look on his face.

“If anyone were to ask, we’ll just use work as an excuse. After all, the wedding must be delayed, one way or another. Anyway, I suggest that you refrain from visits after today. Given enough time, they’d forget all about it and stop asking,”

Nicole recommended.

“Alright then. If that’s what you want. I’ll respect it. If your family finds out about it in the future, you’ll know what to do.” Jared explained as he kept his eyes on her.

“I know. When that time comes, I won’t trouble you. All of these are my ideas. Is that fine with you? Pfft.” Nicole rolled her eyes at him and walked into the house.

Jared gazed at her from the back and smiled. Then, he followed her in.

In the living room, Sean and Steve were already back. Just as they were about to take a seat on the couch, Nicole and Jared walked in from outside.

“Nicole.” Sean and Steve stood up and turned toward Nicole.

“Mr. Johnston.” Sean stepped forward and greeted Jared warmly.

“Sean, Steve, when did you guys arrive? Why didn’t anyone tell US?” Nicole looked at the two boys and asked.

“We just arrived not long ago. The both of you came in as soon as we sat down.” Sean smiled at Nicole and explained.

“You guys went to the garden?” Sean made a guess based on the direction they had come in from.

“Struck the bull’s eye with that guess, didn’t you? We were getting a little bored of sitting here so I brought Jared out to the garden for a little walk,” Nicole replied, looking at Sean.

“Let’s all have a seat,” Sean said to them.

“Sure.”

“This is my first time meeting you since you came back, right? I heard your trip back home was unplanned.

What actually happened?” Sean asked Nicole with his brow raised.

“It’s nothing major. It’s just that I couldn’t stand it there anymore, so I came back, because I knew I could count on you,” Nicole jokingly said to Sean.

“Come on,” Sean retorted. “You can’t stand it there? More like that country can’t stand to keep you around any longer, right?”

Sean knew Nicole well. She was a genius, and so, she would be adored no matter where she went.

There was no way that she could not fit in.

“Hehe, you know me so well. I couldn’t even fool you for a second.” Nicole looked at Sean mischievously.
