Chapter 2164

“Of course you did,” Nicole replied, upset.

Jared was persistent. “You’re my wife. I don’t think there’s a problem with me saying such things.”

Nicole gritted her teeth and glared at him. “But you should at least mind where we are, shouldn’t you?”

Jared looked left and right. Then, he replied, “I definitely should’ve been more careful. Let’s take this conversation to our room.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jared lifted Nicole into his arms and strode toward the room.

Nicole was so flustered that her cheeks felt like they were on fire. However, she did not want to make any noise as it would only bring her more embarrassment.

“Put me down,” Nicole said in a low voice through her gritted teeth.

“Sure.” Jared’s eyes were smug as he spoke. He had already entered the room.

Arriving at the bedside, Jared placed Nicole on the bed and said in a seductive tone, “I guess I don’t have to mind where we are anymore.”

Nicole’s heart was thumping hard, and her cheeks were bright red. That was not what she had meant, but why did things turn out this way?

Staring at the handsome man in front of her, Nicole was nervous and confused. Jared’s eyes were dark with lust.

She gulped nervously. Then, Nicole continued staring at Jared as she lowered her voice. “Jared, listen to me. That was not what I meant just now.”

Jared’s lips curled into an evil smile. He pretended not to understand and replied, “Then, what did you mean?”

“I was trying to say that, I don’t want to acknowledge you. But you’re different from others, so…” Nicole bit her lip lightly. Her eyes looked serious. “I’m not sure how else I should treat you.”

Nicole was also unsure of her own feelings toward Jared. She clearly knew that they were lawfully married, and that they were once in love. But if she had to be close to Jared, Nicole would still feel awkward.

Jared’s eyes darkened. Initially, he just wanted to tease her. But soon, he could not bear it anymore. He quickly organized his thoughts to gain some rationality.

He knew how insecure Nicole was without her memory, so he did not want to scare her.

He took a deep breath and stroked her beautiful hair. “Since you’ve acknowledged that we’re lawfully married, you can only lay your eyes on me and me alone. As for everything else, I’ll give you some time to think about it.”

Hearing those arrogant yet warm words from Jared, a smile began to form on Nicole’s face.

She calmed her heart, looked up and promised, “Alright, I’ll only lay my eyes on you.”

After all, Jared had such a good-looking face. Nicole had never met anyone that looked even close to how handsome he was.

Looking into her shining eyes, Jared squinted slightly. He could tell what she was thinking, and it made him laugh. “So, should I be grateful for having such a good-looking face?”

Nicole only agreed to what he said because of his looks. At that thought, Jared felt a little sad.

Immediately, Nicole smiled wide. “Of course not. You can think of it as a bonus.”

After all, if she had to look at something, it would be best to look at something nice.

Jared was amused. Then, he pulled Nicole to her feet and said, “Go and shower. Get ready for bed.”

“Alright.” Nicole felt relieved. Then, she took off her pajamas and walked into the bathroom.

Jared sat down on the bed and thought of the way Nicole was acting. His eyes softened. He felt a lot happier, seeing Nicole’s relaxed smile.
