Chapter 1281


    In Trisha’s eyes, Nics, being in the entertainment industry and living in a world full of temptations,


    naturally couldn’t be as reliable as Jace, an excellent medical student. So she rarelypared the two.


    But now, with Nics holding her on hisp, and forcing her to discuss this topic, Trisha suddenly


    realized that Nics was actually very good–looking


    Being so close, her heart inevitably started racing.


    Trisha looked into his eyes, her mind a mess as she stuttered, “Why should I answer such a pointless


    question?”


    After saying that, she managed to break free. Her face flushed as she said, “If you want to know, go


    ask Dr. Ledford yourself.”


    Nics casually replied, “I think I’m way better looking than Jace, maybe you should get your eyes


    checked.”


    Trisha made a face of disdain and muttered, “Narcissist!”


    Just then, the doorbell rang.


    Nics went to answer the door, and Trisha went into the room to change.


    When she came out, Nics was sitting on the sofa, petting their cat, Fluff. Beside him was an open


    gift box containing a light–green floral dress with a single shoulder strap


    It looked a bit like a beach dress but felt a bit more upscale.


    Her eyes lit up, “Is this for me?”


    Nics nced at her, “No, it’s for my girlfriend.”


    Trisha said, “I am your girlfriend now” She paused, then added, “In other people’s eyes.”


    Nics snorted, “You’re my girlfriend, and you dare to say Jace is better looking than me in front of


    me? If you think he’s handsome, let him buy a dress for you


    Trisha was speechless.


    “You’re so petty. I was just making an offhandment, and you take it seriously. You’re a man, can’t


    you be a bit more magnanimous?”


    Nics shrugged nonchntly, “I don’t need to be magnanimous. I’m not exactly a whole man right


    now anyway”


    Trisha was speechless.


    She was just making a casualment, why was Nics being so sensitive? He wasn’t like this


    before.


    Trisha was quite smitten with the dress, knowing it was Nics who had prepared it for her made it a


    bit better. So she softened her tone and said, “Nics, you’re the manliest man in my book. You’ve got


    a heart of gold for your friends, and you treat your girlfriend like a queen. I dream of having a man like


    you for a husband.”


    Nics was amused by this.


    He cast a sideways nce at Trisha and snorted, “Dream on, scaredy–cat:”


    Trisha was speechless.


    Nics had the nerve to push his luck!


    She pouted, deciding to put up with him for the sake of the dress.


    In thete afternoon, around five o’clock, Steven showed up at Grandview Heights to pick up Celeste.


    The resort where the birthday party was being held was a bit far away. It was about a forty to fifty–


    minute drive, so Steven hade early.


    As soon as he reached the parking lot, he spotted a guy who was a total buzzkill


    He tried to ignore Liam and find another parking spot, but after driving around, he realized all the spots


    were either taken or locked up, except for the one where Liam was standing


    Annoyed, Steven drove back to Liam


    Liam was dressed to the nines and had his hair neatly groomed, making him look like a lost male


    model standing there.


    After noticing that Steven’s car was approaching, he courteously vacated the parking spot for Steven


    As Steven parked and rolled down his window to say something, Liam beat him to it, saying, “Bro,


    parking spots are hard toe by here. I saved one for you in advanceAll text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
