Chapter 649 Asleep

• Once Cole had settled down in the condominium, Nicholas excused himself to head home. "You should get some rest too," he told Cole. "You can always call me if you need anything." After they left, Nicholas dropped Janet home before returning to his place since he would have to pass by her villa on his way home. However, there seemed to be a strong sense of resistance that formed a barrier around Nicholas while they were in the car.
• Janet could sense it, but she didn't waste this opportunity as it was rare for it to be just both of them in a space together. Furthermore, she wanted to clarify what she had said in the restaurant as she didn't want there to be a gap between him and her. "Look, Nicholas. I didn't mean anything else when I said those words in the restaurant."
• However, no matter how much she spoke, Nicholas acted as if he couldn't hear a thing. He rested his back against the seat and shut his eyes. It looked almost like he was asleep. Janet glared at him, feeling both angry and sorry for herself simultaneously. She also felt a sense of regret—she shouldn't have done what she had done.
