After dinner, Nicole drove Martin home.
"Thanks for the ride back.Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?"
Martin looked over at Nicole.
"No, thanks.I need to go back and get some rest."
She had not had a good rest since she got off the plane.She had been running around outside, so she
indeed felt tired at the moment.
"Okay, drive safe." Martin watched Nicole's car until it disappeared before walking into the house.
Nicole headed straight toward Jared's villa.
As she arrived, she parked the car and walked in.
Jared had not returned yet.
Relieved, she went to the dining room and poured herself a glass of water, then went to the living room,
sat down, turned on the TV, and laid down to rest.
Before she knew it, she was asleep.
At some point during her sleep, the sound of a door closing jolted her out of her sleep.She opened her
eyes, looked toward the door, and sawa familiar figure walking in.
Seeing Nicole sleeping on the couch, Jared walked over to her and asked with concern, "Why didn't
you sleep in your room? You didn't fall asleep waiting for me, did you?"
"Yeah, why are you back so late? It's getting dark." Nicole glanced out the window.
It was already dark outside.
"I was supposed to be back at the end of the day, but I had to attend a video conference all of a
sudden, so I was a little late.Sorry to keep you waiting." Jared looked at Nicole apologetically.
Nicole then understood why Jared had come back so late.
"Have you had your dinner?" Nicole asked.
"Not yet."
"I will go make you something. What would you like?"
Nicole was about to get up.
Jared stopped her and looked at her with gentle eyes.
"You get some rest.I can do it myself.Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten.You go and eat something." Nicole said and went to sleep again.
Jared saw her sleeping so well and knew that she must be tired from the business trip, so he gently
helped her cover up and then went to the kitchen.
After a quick meal, Jared came to the couch.He picked her up and walked upstairs.
At first, he thought of having some intimate moment with her, but seeing that she was sleeping soundly,
he did not disturb her.
The next day, the sun was just right, and the breeze was warm.
Nicole lazily stretched and reached her hand to the side.
When she did not feel the person next to her, she opened her eyes and found that she was alone in the
room.
"That's strange.Where did Jared go? I clearly remember him coming back yesterday."
Nicole sat up groggily and looked out the window.It was another day in a great mood for her.
Getting out of bed and walking out of the bedroom downstairs, she heard the sound of cooking in the
kitchen.So, she followed the sound.
"Are you making me breakfast?" Nicole's gentle voice came from behind him.
Jared looked back.
"You're awake.Take a seat in the dining room.Breakfast will be ready in a minute."
Before she went to the dining room, Nicole gently walked up and hugged him from behind.
"Thanks, I am so blessed."
Jared turned around and dropped a kiss on her forehead.
"I'm blessed too, and to be able to take care of you."
The two sat across from each other in the dining room.
Nicole happily ate the breakfast Jared had made.
"Do you have something to do today?" she asked.
"There's an outdoor event today.If you're free, you can come with me and check it out."
Jared would like Nicole to go with him.
