My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 789

Naturally, she could not say it was a glass of wine. Otherwise, it would be no different from telling him who had drugged him directly. With Jared's temperament, he certainly would leave no one who harmed him unharmed. After all, that person was also part of the Riddle family, and she did not want to implicate them.

"Since you have got better. Let me drive you home."

"Okay."

Nicole helped Jared out of the hospital.

Inside the villa, Nicole helped Jared sit on the couch. "Have a good rest. I'll leave now."

Nicole was just about to get up when he suddenly heard Jared's wailing voice.

"What's wrong?" Nicole immediately sat back down beside him.

"I have a headache. Can you stay with me?" Jared's shrewd eyes glanced at Nicole's expression.

Nicole was in a dilemma. After all, Jared had just proposed to her, and if the two of them stayed together for the night, the paparazzi would make a headline if they found out. But seeing Jared's condition, she could not bring herself to leave him alone in the villa.

"I'm so thirsty." Jared quickly feigned at seeing Nicole's hesitation.

"I will pour you water. Just a moment." Nicole immediately got up and off she went.

Jared smiled triumphantly as he looked at Nicole from behind.

"Here you go. Drink it slowly."

Jared took a few sips from the glass and preemptively said, "Do you want me to call your family?"

"It's okay. I'll call them in a minute. You rest well. I'll be here with you." Nicole assured him.

As excellent as Nicole was in virtually all aspects, she was just a normal girl who would feel shy like anyone else, especially when someone proposed to her.

Daniel and Gloria looked at Nicole's bashful expression and smiled.

"It's okay. It's a good thing. We are happy for you," Daniel said with a smile.

Stanley interjected. "Absolutely. We haven't had such a merry occasion happening in a long time. I'm so happy for you."

Sean hesitated for a while but asked at last, "You've been in a relationship with Jared for so long, but we've never heard you mention his relationship with JJ Johnston Group. Didn't he even tell you?"

"I'm indeed in a relationship with him, but we have never talked about his business. I'm not curious about these things either," Nicole said.

"After Nicole and Jared get engaged, we will have a lot of business opportunities." Steve's eyes lit up at the thought about the good things that might come along.
