One More Night

Kevin’s face was full of disdain and contempt. Nicole couldn’t be wrong if she wanted to. According to Irene’s character, it really didn’t look like she could graduate from college. But she actually took a fake degree back to deceive her family.

“Then why did you come with her? And… did you lose your temper?”

Speaking of this, Kevin looked at Nicole with an unfriendly look. Nicole immediately raised her hands and surrendered.

“All right, I’m wrong. I won’t ask. By the way, how is Farah?”

Although she didn’t want to mention it, because Farah was bound to be involved with James, Nicole was also worried, so she had to ask.

Hearing Kevin’s snort was also expected, she curled her lips and sat closer to Kevin. Although it was very unpleasant yesterday, Kevin still regretted seeing her go to the hotel with that text message.

At this time, Nicole didn’t mind being soft-hearted. She put her hands on his shoulder like a puppy and said, “Hey, you are still angry. It’s not my initiative. In fact, I have told him before.”

She didn’t know when the relationship between them seemed to become extremely close. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with the posture at the moment.

Kevin took a look at her hand, and Nicole noticed it. She was a little embarrassed, but she didn’t pull out her hand.

However, his cell phone suddenly rang.

“It’s time. I’m going to work.”

Before he could finish his words, he was about to leave. Kevin stood up and grabbed her wrist.

Nicole’s heart tightened, but she still looked at him calmly. “What’s wrong?”

“Next week’s Farah’s birthday. Let’s go together.” Kevin said.

Nicole hesitated again. “Me too? That’s not good.” She wanted to refuse, but when she saw Kevin’s deep eyes, she was frightened. “Then, I’ll think about it.”

In this birthday party, of course, she couldn’t make such a style like the last time, but once it appeared, she was very clear what it meant.

On the way to the clinic, Nicole finally contacted Lisa. She had fully expressed her worries, but Lisa looked relatively peaceful.

She explained that she went to the mountain yesterday and there was no signal in the mountain, so she did not receive a phone call. However, when it came to the things behind the couple, she euphemistically refused and did not want to continue.

Nicole’s heart skipped a beat. She asked for the reason, but Lisa seemed to have a hard time. She said that this is their family business, and it’s not convenient to say more. In short, thanks to her during this period of time, she will pay off the money she should pay on time.

But this was not a matter of fees. It was the opinions of the parties involved. The husband and wife did not want to continue, and she could not force others to do anything.

When Farah saw Nicole at the school, she was surprised when she saw the jade bracelet on Nicole’s wrist. She was startled and immediately called her brother.

“Brother, what’s going on? Is that bracelet mine? You asked me last time about it.” Farah frowned.

“You don’t like it anyway.” Kevin said calmly.

Farah widened her eyes and said, “It’s not about whether I like it or not. The point is why the bracelet is in the hands of Nicole? You know the meaning of the bracelet. Did she steal it?”

“No, if it was not stolen.” Kevin should understand the meaning of the bracelet better than she did.

Farah asked again, “Brother, are you hiding something from me?”

“I told you last time that you don’t have to regard her as an imaginary enemy. She can’t be your opponent.”

“So, brother… you and her?” Farah suddenly realized that her tongue was tied. “But brother, she was still a student.”

“She’s already grown up.” Kevin answered.

“So, you spent so much effort exchanging the diamond bracelet for my jade bracelet?”

This jade bracelet belonged to the Philip family. There were four bracelets, which were made of the same piece of jade, so the texture was so uniform.

After the four bracelets were polished, they were almost identical. The old lady wore one and left each of her two daughters-in-law in the future.

Unfortunately, until now, the Old Lady’s two daughters-in-law bracelets had not been sent out, but gave themselves to Nicole, while Carole gave the bracelets to Farah. Unfortunately, Farah did not like jade, so she did not wear it all the time.

Nicole’s bracelet was broken into pieces, so it could not be repaired. Kevin had to change the color of the bracelet secretly.

He answered calmly, “I broke it.”

Farah suddenly stopped talking and blankly sat in the seat. This fact was something she couldn’t digest for a while.

“So, she’s still my sister-in-law?”

“As long as you know.”

“B-Brother, if I don’t accept it.”

“That doesn’t change the fact.” Kevin furiously answered.

Farah suddenly had nothing to say.

“You’d better prepare for next week’s birthday party.” Kevin said.

“Okay brother.” Farah said and hung up the phone.

After class in the evening, Nicole unexpectedly saw James waiting for her.

“Mr. James, what a coincidence. Are you waiting for someone?”

Nicole tried to smile to smile as much as possible to break this strange embarrassment; but unfortunately, James didn’t seem to have any intention of smiling.

This was the first time that James was so serious since she knew him. So Nicole had to stop smiling and waited for him to speak.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn’t intend to say anything. The carriages and horses shuttled back and forth around them, but nothing came out.

Nicole finally gave up and said, “Mr. James, it’s all right. I’ll go first, goodbye.”

However, just as James crossed her shoulder, her wrist was caught unexpectedly by him.

The tough strength made Nicole frown slightly. Only then did she realize that James seemed to have been holding back something.

His ever handsome face seemed to be distorted for a moment. He lifted her wrist and happened to wear the jade bracelet. He only asked, “Is the woman that day, were you?”

Nicole was stunned for a long time before she understood that James was asking the woman who pretended to be ugly that day. She finally nodded gently.

After his guess was confirmed, James knew how ridiculous he was. He even bought such a magazine for her.

Suddenly, a self-deprecating bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “You laughed at me in your heart at that time.”

“No.” Seeing James’s expression, Nicole answered subconsciously, “Mr. James, I know you’re doing this for my own good. I didn’t mean to hide anything from you, but I didn’t know how to explain it to you. So, I’m sorry.”

Although it seemed to be pale and powerless to say sorry now, Nicole felt that she owed James. She couldn’t say it before, but now, everything had been exposed. She felt guilty for him, so she could express it without hiding.

“You’re very good, really good, but I…”

“Did you lie to me from the beginning?”

“No, no!” Nicole shook her head repeatedly. James was really a very good person. Nicole didn’t want to lose this friend because of this. “It happened later.”

“Is this the real reason why you refused me?”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole was silent.

James suddenly tightened his arms around her shoulders. Nicole was startled. She raised her head and looked into his eyes. There was disappointment and anger in his eyes.

All kinds of emotions intertwined, like a huge whirlpool. Nicole did not know what to say for a moment.

“It’s still not too late for you to turn back now.” His voice was so loud that it sounded like a warning to her.

Nicole was a little dumbfounded, but James’s attitude had never been so tough. “Do you know him? Do you know what he is doing? Why are you so stupid? You…”

Before James finished his words, there was a short and powerful horn sound behind Nicole. She suddenly turned around and saw the black Mercedes-Benz stopped there.

Kevin actually came. Nicole subconsciously pushed James’s hand away. This almost instinctively action made James’s arm fall down feebly, and there was a strong disappointment in his eyes.

James’s expression made Nicole feel uncomfortable, but she still looked at James very sincerely and said, “Mr. James, thank you, I know that you are doing this for me, but I know what I am doing. I am leaving now, goodbye.”

Without any hesitation, Nicole turned around and walked toward Kevin’s car. This time, she didn’t look back, but after getting in the car, she couldn’t help sighing.

A cold ridicule came from the side. “What’s wrong? I can’t bear to part with you.”

“Can’t I just sigh with emotion?” Nicole rolled her eyes at him and couldn’t help but turn around to face him. “I found a very strange problem. It seems that the expression on your face is very different when I talk to other men. Aren’t you jealous?”

“Oh.” Kevin sneered. “If it weren’t for someone’s anxiety in the room, do you think it’s possible?”

“Hey, who do you think is not at ease in the room?”

“Did I say anything about you?” Kevin frowned.

Nicole had learned Kevin’s sarcasm before. If you were serious with him, you would lose. Therefore, he was so angry that his blood pressure rose.

It was better not to argue with him. Nicole tried to maintain her calm state. “If you want to quarrel with me, then you don’t have to come to pick me up. Aren’t you looking for abuse? You don’t need to be unhappy with each other, don’t you?”

“If I don’t come, are you going with him?” Kevin cold voice.

Of course not, but Nicole didn’t want to say it now, so she just answered ambiguously, “Who knows!”
