Chapter 397 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• ‘Fortunately, Nicole did not get to enter the campus; otherwise, I would have been done for tonight,’ Max thought to himself. Seeing the smile on Jared’s face after seeing Nicole, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Nicole did not know what Max was thinking. After she got into the car, she just rested her arm on the window sill and said nothing. Jared looked at Nicole. He could barely see her snow-white jaw as her face was in the shade. He could not help but lean over and ask her gently, "YYou went to the café to look for me. Why did you leave instead of waiting for me?” Nicole turned to look at him. There was a rare sense of dilemma on her icy face.
• “You just returned from abroad, so I guessed you would be busy. Besides, I needed to return to the dormitory because the gate was closed.” Her thoughtfulness softened Jared’s heart. “But it was way past the time, and you didn’t get to enter, right?” Jared reached to stroke her hair. Nicole did not resent it at all. She nodded matter-of-factly. “Yeah, thanks to someone; I missed the school gate’s closing time.” Jared looked at her; she sounded as if she were complaining but looked fearless. He could not help smiling, and his expression became gentler. His eyes upturned, and he exuded an indescribable charm as he propped a hand to his forehead. “Since you have no place to go because of me, I will take you somewhere fun.”
• Nicole raised an eyebrow. “Racing again?” She did not want to go because she was tired today. “Some fun place; not just that one.” He instructed Max to turn the car around and drive out of town. No one was talking for a while, and the only sound in the cabin was the soft music. Nicole smelled the sandalwood scent on Jared’s body and felt inexplicably at ease. She slowly closed her eyes and enjoyed a rare moment of serenity. By the time she woke up, the car had stopped, and she found herself leaning against Jared’s shoulder. Nicole was surprised. She just thought of taking some shut-eye, not expecting to call herself asleep just like that. For ten years, she had not been able to sleep so soundly in front of others.
