Chapter 1304
Jared followed Nicole into her bedroom and sat down on her bed.
He looked into her eyes and asked, "Although your forehead isn't hot, I must ask, why is your face flushed?"
Nicole suddenly felt a pang of guilt and turned away, not daring to make eye contact with Jared, "No, it could be because I just woke up."
"Really?" Jared looked at her with a brow raised when he saw her avoiding eye contact.
Nicole, who was a little flustered, began to ponder, 'Did he find out? Or did Tia tell him something?'
Jared walked over, stood in front of Nicole, and looked at her. "What's with that look?
'Why do I think she's afraid to look at me?’ Jared thought to himself.
"What? I just woke up, my brain isn't functioning properly yet," Nicole explained in a hurry.
"Really? You seem to be acting a little weird to me." Jared furrowed his brows and looked at Nicole.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No, you're thinking too much.' Nicole covered it up with a smile.
"Is grandma downstairs?" Nicole quickly changed the topic.
"Well, Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Tia were watching TV downstairs when I came."
"Oh. Right. Let's go downstairs and find grandma," Nicole said as she got up and made her way downstairs.
Jared looked at her bedroom, and as everything seemed normal, he closed the bedroom door and followed her to
the living room.
In the living room, Nicole was sitting next to Mrs. Wallace Sr., and appeared to be whispering something in her ear.
As soon as she saw Jared walking toward them, she quickly sat straight up and pretended as if she was watching TV.
Jared had seen what she had just done, but he refrained from saying anything. Instead he went up to Nicole and sat
next to her with a glance.
Then, he looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. with concern and asked, "Mrs. Wallace Sr., how have you been as of recent?"
Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at him and smiled. "I'm fine. You don't have to worry about my health. I have been sleeping
and eating well. I'm in good health."
"That's good. It's a blessing that your body is still healthy." Jared responded with a smile.
Jared chatted with Mrs. Wallace Sr. for a while, after which he turned his gaze to Tia and asked, "Tia, did anything of
interest happen as of recent?"
As per tradition, Tia would crack a few jokes whenever Jared visited, and so, she looked at Jared with a smile and
said, "Jared, it's a coincidence that you're here. Something very interesting thing happened today."
But before Tia could finish her sentence, she stopped, stifling the urge to break into a fit of laughter.
"Oh? What is it? Tell me." Jared looked at her, waiting to hear the joke.
"Today, Mr. Harvey..." Tia was about to tell Jared, but before she could continue to say anything, she saw Nicole
starring daggers into her, prompting her to stop and fall silent.

Tia looked at Jared with a nervous smile and said, "Jared, the grapes today are very sweet. I'll go and get you some."
After she had uttered the last word, she rushed out of the living room.
Jared looked at Tia’s figure as she hurried away, and found that her conduct was rather strange.
Then, he turned his gaze to Nicole and asked, "Was Harvey here today?"
Nicole composed herself before turning to look at Jared and responding," No, why would he come here?"
As she spoke, her expression conveyed a look that a situation like that would never happen.
"Really?" Jared raised his eyebrows and looked at Nicole.
"Of course! Why would he come anyway?" Nicole looked at him, unsmiling and solemn.
In spite of the charade, Jared noticed that Nicole had no intention of telling him the truth, and with Mrs. Wallace Sr. nearby, he did not press on
any further.
'I'll find a way to ask her about it later after we return to the villa,' he thought.
