Chapter 408 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Jared heard her say this and looked back at her. “What did I look like in your imagination?” Nicole raised an eyebrow. “I thought you were a bossy CEO from another world.” This was the feeling he had given her all along. Jared could not help but chuckle, his laughter like a feather gently teasing Nicole’s heart. ‘What has been happening to me lately? My heart always keeps pounding at his frown and laughter.’ His seduction plan really worked. Not wanting to watch idly by, Nicole stepped forward to take the bowl in Jared’s hand.
• “Let’s do it together.” Jared watched her do the dishes so neatly and squinted his eyes, knowing that she must have done this chore a lot. “The Riddle family doesn’t treat you well.” Nicole shook her head. “You forgot I wasn’t in the Riddle family before this. I did everything while living in the countryside. I’m doing well now. My parents and brothers take good care of me.” When she and Mrs. Wallace Sr. lived together, she also performed this chore handily. Jared was relieved. He watched Nicole finish doing the dishes and turn off the wall lamp.
• Jared was suddenly lost in reverie as Nicole walked toward him with a soft orange glow behind her. He had not felt this feeling in years. Because of Nicole, this deserted house felt more like home. He looked at Nicole, his eyes greeted by the warm light that came with her, and his heart was at peace. Nicole walked up to him and was a little baffled at seeing him in a daze. “Are you alright, Jared?” “I’m alright.” He smiled and enjoyed the moment. “Let’s go upstairs and rest.” He took her hand and went upstairs with her.
