Chapter 638 Be Good
“Release me, Nico!” Summer flushed a bright red. Her limbs were too weak to break free from Nico’s
restraint.
Her weak struggles only served to arouse his desire to dominate her.
Infuriated, Summer eximed, “Let me down! My skirt is too short. It’s not safe…”

Nico scowled and stated, “If you know your skirt is too short, why did you wear it beforeing here to
dance? Did you take your safety seriously at all?”
Even though he sounded like he was lecturing her, he still thoughtfully used the coat Summer had
removed from her shoulders earlier to cover her butt.
The DJ and the bar staff members were dumbfounded as they watched the deputy director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation flirting with his girlfriend.
A few female employees there even whispered, “Mr. Nico’s so manly and domineering, not to mention
he’s the adopted son of the Jenson family. It must be nice to be the girlfriend of someone as rich and
handsome as him.”
Summer heard that loud and clear. Like heck it is! He’s just a dense, inconsiderate man!
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. They entry me, but they don’t know how
tiring it is to be in love with a blockheaded man like him. Only I do.
“You’re a b”stard, Nico! I’m your bride-to-be, not your subordinate! Stop trying to coerce me!” she
shouted.
Sighing, Nico continued striding out of the building. It wasn’t tiring for him to carry Summer on his
shoulders at all.
He restrained Summer’s restless legs with one arm while gently patting her butt with his other hand.
Pushing his anger down, he said. “Stop messing around. I’ve never tried to coerce you before. It’s just
that you’re too naughty tonight. Let’s talk once we head home. It’s gettingte.” I think she has gotten
fatter after caring for her for a year. Back in Erihal’s dungeon, she was skinny and malnourished. Now,
she’s heavier than before, and her butt is chubbier.
When he recalled their first encounter, especially her pretty eyes and how terribly abused she had
been, he sighed in his mind.
Taking on a less stern tone, he spoke earnestly. “Back when I saved you from Erihal’s dungeon, your
weight was less than forty kilograms. After I took care of you for a year, you gained eight kilograms,
and your body isn’t as skinny as before anymore. Who should you thank for that, huh? I asked Cedrick
to enroll you in a university. Not once did I interfere with your professional or school life. I’ve respected
almost every wish you have. Aside from forbidding you from spending the night outside and returning
toote, when did I ever force you to do what you don’t want to? I’ve been doing my best to take care
of you over the year. I even gave you my payroll card for safekeeping. Yes, I’m aware that I’m not an
excellent talker and that I don’t understand a woman well. However, aside from you, I also need to
manage my career. Otherwise, you and I will have to sleep under a bridge. So, can you be a little more
well- behaved?”
I’ve been saving up money because we’re about to be engaged. All I want is to give her the best that I
can so she doesn’t need to be envious of the priceless jewelry and other items in Gwendolyn’s
possession. I’ve been so busy the whole day
dealing with my work. Instead of being able to rest after returning home, I have toe here right away
to grab Summer. I’m so, so exhausted. Mentally and physically. However, I’m a mature man. As
drained as I am, I won’tin about my woes. I’ll swallow them all, but I do hope Summer can
understand me better. It’s not easy for me to care for her.
Summer listened quietly, and once he was finished, she remained silent for a long while after.
I must say, Nico did a wless job taking care of me. He provides me with the best, whether in terms of
food, education, or anything I’m using. He’s doing his best to earn a living. Sometimes he may be a
cheapskate or argue with me, but he’s never stopped giving me my weekly allowance. In fact, he
granted me the warm care my real father never showed me before. Still… As Summer’s eyes
reddened, she pouted aggrievedly.

Humans would always be greedy. Once their material needs had been satisfied, they would want the
same for their emotional needs.
“I know you take good care of me, but I still hope you can pay more attention to my matters, like the
engagement. Even Mr. Jenson asked me about it, but you’ve yet to discuss it with me because of
work,” said Summer.
Nico settled her down before carrying her to the passenger seat and fastening her seatbelt. Then, he
entered the driver’s seat and drove them home.
Summer remained quiet as she stared out the window instead of causing a scene.
asionally, Nico nced at her.
Eventually, he apologized, “I agree I could’ve done better for the engagement matters. Initially, it was
because you mentioned you don’t like your family or want to contact them. I was afraid you would be
upset if I brought up your parents, so I never asked. I didn’t realize this would cause you to overthink
things.”
Upon hearing that, Summer felt much better. Still, she grumbled in a small voice, “That’s a minor issue.
My main problem is that you broke your promise. I’ve been looking forward to spending time with you
today for half a month, yet you forgot about it…
Nico nodded. “This is my fault. I’m sorry.
He was holding the steering wheel with a single hand. His sleeves were rolled up, so his muscles were
visible.
While he was more tanned than before, he possessed the sexy charm of a mature man.
Summer nced at his countenance. I feel like I’m suddenly not as angry anymore after he apologized.
Although… we still haven’t reached home yet. I was irritated for the whole day, yet my anger was
extinguished by him so quickly. It makes me feel a little embarrassed.
When her train of thought ended there, she continued toin in a soft tone, “What’s the point of
apologizing? You wasted my time today, so I want you to make up for it!”
As her rage had mostly been quelled, her voice sounded sweeter.
Nico’s attention was still focused on the road, and he didn’t answer the question.
Furrowing her eyebrows slightly, she continued, “Since you’re sorry, can you take a full-day leave
tomorrow? I want you to apany me to the swimming pool, the aquarium, and the Ferris wheel.”
Nico grimaced slightly. “I can push other matters to ater time, but tomorrow… The Federal Bureau of
Investigation has an important case I need to deal with. These two days are the most critical period for
this investigation.”
In response, Summerpromised, “Half a day, then. I’m fine with you only taking me to the swimming
pool.”
Nico remained silent.
I can tell he doesn’t want to, based on his expression. Disappointment flooded Summer’s heart
instantly. Staring out the window, she uttered, “It’s fine. Your work is important. I’m just being immature.
I won’t pester you anymore.”
Nico’s heart wrenched as he sighed and focused on the driving.
Right after he parked the car at the Jenson residence’s garage, Summer opened the door and left
without turning her head back.
After locking the car, Nico chased after her. “How about we discuss this more, Summer?”
Summer shook her head and spoke calmly. “There’s nothing for us to discuss. Tomorrow is thest day
of the weekend, so I’ll be returning to the campus. You just need to focus on your work and not worry
about

A secondter, she stepped around Nico and entered the vi, her thin frame appearing mncholic.
Nico was rooted in the garden as he watched her lonely figure enter the living room. He sighed
resignedly. She’s such a handful. Still, I was wrong for breaking my promise today, and I should make it
up to her.
After contemting his next move, he called Jasper, whom Cedrick had assigned to Team Nine,
Once the call was connected, he cut straight to the chase. “I have a private matter to attend to
tomorrow, so I may be unable toe to work. I have a few important cases I need you to keep an eye
on for me, and I want you to stay on top of it.”
