It was the same story with Jarrod and Jamie. Despite Jamie's tarnished
reputation, Jarrod still expended effort and time to shield her. And it all boiled
down to one reason.
After their meal, the driver took Raegan home, while Nicole planned to head back
alone.
Soon enough, she realized she'd left her purse behind. Returning quickly to
retrieve it, she also made a quick detour to the restroom.
That was when she spotted a familiar figure not far from her.
Jarrod and Jamie had also chosen this place for a meal. They Looked like they
had just arrived and were on their way to a chamber.
As they moved in her direction, Nicole lowered her gaze, her nerves getting the
better of her. She nearly collided with Jarrod.
“Be careful!” His refined voice filled her ears.
Jarrod steadied Nicole by the arm, his thumb caressing it briefly before letting her
go.
Nicole's heart pounded in her chest. She couldn't fathom why Jarrod would touch
her so openly, especially in front of his fiancée.
Gathering herself, she managed to say, “Thank you.”
With that, she headed into the restroom.
ANGELA'sLIBRARY
Jamie glanced at both Jarrod and Nicole, then remarked in a tone audible to
Nicole, “You two enjoy playing dangerous games, don’t you?”
Frozen, Nicole's complexion drained of color.
Nicole looked rather refreshing with the short hair.
Jarrod’s eyes left Nicole, his voice still smooth but now icy.
“You understand how it is. We men find a certain appeal in wild women.”
These words stung like a slap to Nicole's face.
With a radiant smile, Jamie said no more and ascended the stairs with Jarrod.
In the restroom, Nicole splashed her face with chilly water as tears escaped her
eyes.
Nicole wasn’t downcast. She just felt she'd disgraced the Lawrence family. In
fact, news that she had selflessly put herself on the line to save her family spread
out.
Rumors had it that for the sake of the Lawrence family’s interests, she would go
to any Lengths.
Just then, the bathroom door swung open.
Grabbing her purse, Nicole prepared to exit after wiping her face.
She turned around and found herself staring at Jarrod. Surprise left her
momentarily speechless.
