Chapter 720
Nicole could not care less about Snow and Raine. After the meal, she turned on the screen of her phone to send a text message.
[I’m going back to the campus.)
[I’ll pick you up.) the other side replied at once.
Nicole looked at the reply with a smile in her eyes, as if she felt his eagerness.
(Okay.)
Then, she tucked the phone back into her pocket before she got up and said goodbye to Mr. Riddle Sr. and others. “Grandpa, Jared is picking me up. I’ll go back to the campus.”
“Okay, enjoy your time together.” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole with a smile. He would be happy to see Nicole spend her time with Jared-the longer, the better.
Nicole nodded and then turned and left.
She saw a car pulled up in front of her with Jared inside as soon as she stepped out of the gate of the Riddle Mansion.
He looked at her and smiled with his eyes narrowed. “Have you missed me these past few days?”
Nicole smiled. “Yes.”
Jared saw the bright smile on her lips, beautiful and enchanting. “It looks like you miss me a lot. But why didn’t you text me?” He had only received one text message from her in the past few days.
Nicole was startled for a second as if not expecting this question. “Didn’t you say you’d be busy?”
He did not know what to say upon hearing her answer. Jared felt his chest tight with a sense of disappointment,
“I said I would be busy, but not to the point of not being able to answer calls or read messages. You’ve never sent me a single text message. How cruel.”
“My grandpa said today that he wished we would get engaged sooner.”
Jared was surprised, but then he thought of something and laughed. “Someone must be desperate.”
“Who?” Nicole frowned.
“My second uncle.” Jared’s face darkened. “He doesn’t know who you are, just thinking that you are just another girl from the Riddle family.”
His second uncle wished to have Jared and Nicole get married so that Jared would not have a marriage arrangement with other families, and they would not be afraid of him anymore.
Not knowing Nicole’s true identity and what she was capable of, they thought they had made the best bet. Little did they know Jared would get a treasure if he married Nicole.
“Oh? So what do you think?” Nicole asked rhetorically.
Jared could not help but smile. “Of course, I want to marry you as soon as possible, but it must be I who proposes.”
