Chapter 2169

Jared seemed somewhat dissatisfied and said, “They’re the ones who should be concerned about their love life, not you. If they can’t get the girl, they shouldn’t get married.’

‘Hmph. Spencer and Samuel couldn’t take care of themselves, so now Nicole has to burden herself with their issues.’

“They’re my brothers.” Nicole rolled her eyes at Jared.

Moreover, June and Lulu were also her good friends, people that she should care about. If they could find happiness, she would certainly be happy for them.

Jared’s expression showed a trace of annoyance, but he did not say anything further. After all, he was just concerned about Nicole.

Sensing that something seemed off with Jared’s behavior, Nicole tilted her head slightly and looked at him. “Are you upset?”

Jared’s gaze turned sharp as he asked meaningfully, “If I say yes, how do you plan to make it up to me?”

“Make it up to you?” Nicole widened her eyes in astonishment. Tm just asking out of courtesy. Why do I have to make it up to him?’

“I’m upset because of you,” Jared said with a righteous look.

Nicole found it hilarious. “Jared, are you becoming more and more jealous?”

‘Is he seriously jealous of my brothers too?’

“I don’t think so,” Jared said calmly, looking like he was waiting for Nicole to comfort him.

Resigned, Nicole bit her lip and asked, “Jared, are you a three -year-old?”

Jared stared at Nicole, which made her feel uneasy.

‘What a jerk. I didn’t know he was such a good actor!’

She did not know that Jared was not really angry. He was just pretending to be pitiful with her.

Taking a deep breath, Nicole raised her hand and patted Jared’s head. “Fine. Don’t be angry. Be a good boy, okay?”

Jared smirked, barely noticeable. ‘Is she trying to comfort me?’

“Do you really think I’m a three-year-old child?” Jared sounded dejected.

Nicole shrugged. “Well, when Nolan and Lana throw a tantrum, this is how I comfort them.”

Jared could not be much older with his recent behavior.

Seeing Nicole’s serious expression, Jared laughed. ‘I can never resist this woman.’

Raising his hand, Jared imitated her and patted Nicole’s head. “Alright, then I’ll comfort you like this in the future too.”

“Tch, I don’t care,” Nicole said with a touch of pride. “Don’t try to comfort me. You won’t do a good job.”

Jared looked at her, adoration in his eyes. “My wife needs to be comforted when she’s angry. If this method doesn’t work, I’ll think of other ways.”

“What other ways?” Nicole casually asked, but she immediately regretted it.

She noticed that Jared’s gaze was now fixed on her lips. He did not have to put it in words as his motives were already pretty obvious.

Blushing slightly, Nicole glared at Jared in reproach. ‘Does he really think that he can comfort me like that?’

Knowing that Nicole had figured out his motives, Jared smiled. This smile was just as beautiful and enchanting, making Nicole a little infatuated.

‘This man is too handsome. He looks even more attractive when he smiles.’

Suddenly, his handsome face got closer. Nicole froze and she blinked in confusion.

Jared squinted slightly when he saw that Nicole did not avoid him. He quickly kissed her lips.

It was just a light peck, and by the time Nicole reacted, Jared had already controlled himself and sat back in his seat.

Biting her lip, Nicole looked at Jared. She could feel that her cheeks were getting even hotter.

However, she was tongue-tied at this moment. What was she going to do? Interrogate him and ask why he kissed her? Nicole figured that these outcomes were going to make her even more flustered than she was now.
