Chapter 2218

“Yep, sure,” Nicole responded and went upstairs.

“Is Nolan okay?” Gloria still did not feel quite at ease.

Daniel reassured her. “Don’t worry. Nicole will take care of it. n They obviously could see Nolan was upset. However, Nicole said he was fine, and they trusted Nicole.

Gloria looked in the direction of the room upstairs and said,” Fine, then let’s discuss it tomorrow morning.”

“It’s getting late. We should rest?

“Yes.”

The two stood up and walked toward their room.

In the dead of the night, Nicole and Jared returned to their room after making sure the kids were asleep.

Finally having the chance to discuss Nolan’s issue, Nicole asked Jared helplessly, “Are you really going to be so harsh on the child?”

Jared said seriously, “I’m fine with everything else, except for this.”

Jared could let go of anything Nolan did, but matchmaking his wife with another person was a matter he could never let someone off the hook, even if it’s his son.

“Woah, you really are enemies.” Nicole rolled her eyes at Jared, feeling speechless.

Jared pulled Nicole into his embrace and hugged her tightly. He then said with aggrieving, “You can’t indulge him just because he’s your son. It would hurt me.”

“Jared Johnston, how old are you?” Nicole rolled her eyes secretly. ‘Is he really seeking comfort through petulance and whining?’

“This has nothing to do with age. Plus what that b*stard did wasn’t something a five-year-old could’ve done,” Jared retorted. He seemed determined to compete with Nolan for Nicole’s favor.

Nicole shook her head helplessly. “Jared, you’re really…”

Before Nicole could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed by Jared’s. Jared’s domineering kiss made Nicole powerless to fight back. Nicole unconsciously sank into his kiss, her gaze a little hazy.

A hint of desire flashed in Jared’s eyes as he reached out and undid the buttons of Nicole’s blouse.

The night passed, and the sun began to rise. Sunlight seeped into the couple’s room through the curtains. Nicole frowned and slowly opened her eyes.

Nicole could feel pain all over her body. She felt like her waist was going to break from Jared’s tossing and turning. Gritting her teeth, she glared at the person beside her.

Unexpectedly, Jared had a bright smile, looking back at Nicole. His eyes were full of affection. “If you’re too tired, just take the day off.”

Jared knew he lost control yesterday and knew Nicole must have been exhausted.

Nicole glared at Jared, but it had no real heat. ‘Does he want the entire world to know I needed a day off for this? That’s so shameless!’

“There’s no need for that,” Nicole said. She lifted the covers and got out of bed.

“Oh!”

In an instant, Nicole shrieked and returned to the bed. She pulled the covers to wrap around herself.

Her cheeks were burning red. She was too angry just now that she forgot she was completely naked.

Jared chuckled. “Why are you shy? I’ve seen it all before.”

“Shut up! I don’t want to hear a word from you.” Nicole threw a pillow at Jared.

The pillow hit him without pain, so Jared did not even bother to dodge her attack. As long as she vented her frustrations, it was fine by Jared.

Putting on a bathrobe, Jared wrapped Nicole in the blanket and carried her into the bathroom. Nicole struggled and kicked him in embarrassment.

“Put me down! I can walk on my own.”
