    Alright, when the timees, this olddy will be your witness.’ Mrs. Wace Sr. could tell that Nicole''s eyes were


    brimming with tears, and that made her feel a little ufortable.

    getting old.''

    "Now, go upstairs and get some rest." Mrs. Wace Sr. looked at Nicole affectionately.


    "Okay, I''ll apany you back to your room first," Nicole said as she helped Mrs. Wace Sr. up.


    Mrs. Wace Sr. looked at Jared who was sitting on the couch at the side and said, "Jared, it''s alreadyte. If you


    don''t have other important things to take care of, you can stay here for the night."


    "Oh, alright," he uttered.


    Initially, Jared was nning to head back home in a while, and as such, it surprised him when Mrs. Wace Sr.


    asked him to stay.


    "I''m off to bed now," Mrs. Wace Sr. said, after which she made her way to her room with Nicole''s help.


    After Nicole had brought Mrs. Wace Sr. back to her room, she came back to the living room to find Jared waiting


    for her on the couch.


    "What are you still doing here?" Nicole looked at Jared with her brows furrowed.


    ''Didn''t he say that he''ll just be sending me home? In that case, he should be heading back to his home now, not


    sitting down here.''


    "Didn''t you hear what grandma had just said?" Jared proudly said and looked at Nicole.


    Now that he had the support of Mrs. Wace Sr., no one could chase him out of the house, as long as he wished to


    stay.


    "You actually took her words seriously?" Nicoleughed and looked at him in disbelief.


    "Of course."


    "She was just being polite. Can''t you see that?" Nicole asked him with a look of disbelief.


    "From what I''ve heard, that doesn''t seem to be the case. It seemed that she was sincere about having me here,"


    he said. “To respect grandma''s wish, I''ve decided to stay.’


    Jared did not seem like he was joking at all. While he was sitting alone in the living room, he had thought it


    through.


    "You''re really staying?" Nicole took a seat beside Jared, and it was obvious that she found it hard to believe.


    "Yes, let''s head upstairs and get some sleep." Jared nced at the time, and was about to grab Nicole by the arm


    when she narrowly escaped his grasp.


    "Fine, I''ll go up by myself." Jared said, knowing that as soon as he went upstairs, Nicole woulde looking for


    him.


    Jared headed upstairs right away as Nicole continued staring at him from the back. "Hey, are you really heading


    upstairs?"


    Jared did not respond to her question and continued making his way up. Unable to sit still anymore, Nicole quickly


    got up and walked to her room.


    By the time she had reached the upper floor, Jared was taking his shirt off, and just as Nicole entered the room,


    she saw his shirtless figure and asked, "Why didn''t you close the door if you''re going to change?"


    ’I did close it. You''re the one who pushed it open and came in, alright?" Jared casually ced his jacket on the


    chair.


    Nicole rolled her eyes and walked in. Then, she stared at him and said, ’ This is my room. The guest room is


    situated directly across."


    Jared shot her a frown. He moved forward, approaching Nicole, and pinned her to the wall. "Are you expecting me


    to stay in the guest room?’


    "Yeah, you''re our guest. If you''re not going to sleep in that room, don''t even think of spending the night in this one."


    She stared right into his eyes as she made the remark, unfazed by what he was doing.


    "You know, I wonder, who was the one talking about our marriage with grandma back in the living room? And yet


    here you are, referring to me as a guest. Were you just trying to put on a show in front of grandma?" Jared looked


    into her eyes and questioned.
