One More Night

When she came back, she deliberately took a detour and didn’t go through the way near Kevin.

James had already ordered the food. “Okay, it’s ready. We can eat soon.”

Nicole nodded and sat down. James was a very talkative and humorous person. Not to mention his teacher’s identity, he was actually easy to get along with. Nicole was in a good mood.

Since she could have dinner with a man, Kevin naturally had the right to have dinner with a woman. So she soon forgot that thing and had a good chat with James.

After about an hour, James got up to pay the bill. When they left, Nicole saw the bunch of flowers at her side.

It must be impolite not to take the flowers away, but holding them in her arms seemed to be too ostentatious, especially when the envious eyes of the surrounding women fell on her. It was undeniable that her vanity was greatly satisfied.

However, it was so coincidental that when they walked to the gate, Kevin and Stephanie just finished their meal too. The four people looked at each other at the door of the restaurant.

The bunch of flowers in Nicole’s arms was particularly eye-catching. Nicole looked at Kevin with some guilty conscience. She found that Kevin had no expression on his face, but he looked at her deeply.

It seemed that she didn’t give him face by receiving the flowers from another man in front of her husband, but it was not voluntary for her.

However, Stephanie couldn’t help showing a hint of envy. “James, when did you become so romantic? I have never received the flowers you sent me.”

James joked, “I’ll definitely send you a bunch of flowers at the Women’s Festival next year.”

Stephanie glared at her younger brother, and James touched himself and smiled. “I’m kidding. You want flowers, but it’s nonsense for your younger brother to send you a bunch of flowers. Mr. George, don’t you think so?”

Kevin’s gaze was faint. Under the elegant background, he seemed to be extraordinarily refined. “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, a woman will accept any gifts that a man sends. Miss Richard, don’t you think so?”

The corner of Nicole’s mouth twitched. Kevin was obviously satirizing her. She was not so easily bullied.

“Mr. George’s words are wrong. If a woman is not willing, she will never accept a man’s flower. I like this flower very much. Thank you James!”

James raised his eyebrows. This was the first time the little girl called him James. It was undeniable that he felt very comfortable.

He took the opportunity to put his arm around Nicole’s shoulder and said, “It’s good that you like the flowers. If you like, I can send the flowers to you every day.”

Nicole said, “You don’t have to spend so much money. You don’t need to give it to me every day. Let’s go.”

She skillfully avoided James’ hand on her shoulder and left.

After Nicole and James went far away, Stephanie turned to look at Kevin and asked, “Do you know that girl?”

“We met once at the last ball.”

Staring at Nicole walking away gracefully, Kevin came down and said to her coldly, “Let’s go. I’ll ask someone to send you back.”

In fact, after leaving the restaurant, Nicole regretted and said with tongue-tied, “Mr. James, please don’t mind what happened just now.”

“What did you do just now?” James laughed as he walked.

“Ahm, that’s… that’s…”

“Is it a thing that you call me James? I think I prefer you to call me James than Mr. James. From now on, you call me James.”

“Mr. James, you misunderstood.” Nicole was confused. “I’m sorry, I’ve thought it over. I don’t want to be in a relationship at the moment, so let’s be friends.”

James raised his eyebrows. From a young age, he was considered a God’s favored son. Although the women like him are less than those who liked Kevin, there were definitely many women liking him.

This was the first time he had been rejected. He was not angry, but just a little puzzled.

He looked at himself up and down and asked, “Why, am I not good?”

“You’re good.” Nicole answered in a hurry.

“Then why are you dissatisfied with me? My appearance? My figure? My job, education or my salary?”

“No, you are excellent, but…” Nicole said, and James was still waiting for her answer without blinking. “I really don’t want to start a new relationship so soon.”

James also knew what happened to Jake and Nicole. The last time in the purple bamboo garden, it was James who helped Nicole solve the problem, so he knew something about Jake.

Last time, Nicole told him that she was injured by love.

Now, he nodded and said, “I understand, you don’t have to take Jake’s issue to heart.”

When they spoke of Jake suddenly, Nicole’s heart seemed to be covered with a haze, and the smile on her face disappeared.

She simply said, “Mr. James, since you already know, then I don’t need to say more. I’m really not ready to start a relationship, so I’m sorry.”

“I see.” James nodded calmly, but there was a warm smile on his face. “Well, let’s be friends first.”

Nicole let out a sigh of relief and said, “Then this bunch of flowers…”

“There’s no reason to take back the flowers that have been sent out. Keep them. I don’t have any other meaning.”

Well, it’s hard for Nicole to accept it, but she accepted it.

At this time, her cell phone rang. It was a call from Sheryl.

“Hello, Sheryl.”

“Nicole, don’t forget to bring the DVD with you tomorrow.”

Nicole just remembered that the DVD was still in the video room of the Star Castle. She left in a hurry that day, so she forgot to take it out.

“Okay, I know. I’ll take it with me.”

After the phone call, James said that he would send her back to school.

Nicole scratched her head and said, “Ah, Mr. James you go first. I’ll take a taxi myself. I forgot something at home. I have to go home, and I’ll sleep at home tonight.”

“Then tell me the address, and I’ll send it to you.”

No.” Nicole refused directly. “My dad doesn’t allow me to date when I’m at school. If he sees a man send me home, he will definitely ask me all sorts of questions. It’s convenient for me to go back alone. You can go first.”

Under Nicole’s urging, James had to leave first.

Watching his car driving away, Nicole took out her mobile phone and called Paul.

“Mrs. George.” Paul’s tone was always so steady.

“Paul, where are you?”

“Outside. What’s the matter, Mrs. George?”

“I’ve left something at the Star Castle. I have to use it tomorrow. Can you send me there?”

“I can’t make the decision on this matter. Mrs. George, if you want to go to the Star Castle, please call Mr. George.”

Nicole’s face darkened. “Call Kevin?”

Paul’s phone was turned on for hands-free. Kevin also heard clearly the frustration in Nicole’s words. Was she so unwilling to call him?

“Yes.”

“Can’t you help me pass the message? Is he with you?” Nicole asked in a very low voice when she said the last few words.

Paul glanced at Kevin, who was sitting in the backseat, but answered firmly, “No.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Then there was a dead silence in the car.

Kevin was always elegant and noble. He was not shocked by all the things, as if there was nothing in the world that could attract his eyes.

Nicole’s heart is fighting fiercely. At last, she decided to call Kevin.

After a while, the phone rang regularly in the car.

Kevin held his phone and didn’t pick it up. He didn’t pick it up until Nicole was about to hang up. “What’s the matter?” Kevin said simply.

“Hi, Mr. George, good evening.” The tone of voice was flattering.

Kevin’s face was expressionless. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

“Eh, eh, don’t be in such a hurry. I have something to tell you. I have something left in the Star Castle. Can you let me go back to get it?”

She finished her words quickly and waited for Kevin’s response for a long time.

Nicole was afraid that he would refuse, so she added, “Don’t forget that tomorrow is the half-a-month deadline.”

It meant that the curse should be broken again. Without Nicole, Kevin can’t live…

That is the secret of Kevin, she already knew it because of the wedding contract paper that she read. It says that Kevin was cursed by something black magic when he visited a virgin island before and something happened to him, every time the cursed attacked him.

If Kevin begged Nicole now, she will definitely perform well tomorrow, otherwise – hmp!

Kevin twitched the corner of his mouth. “Are you threatening me?”

Nicole wants to say yes. She was threatening Kevin. However, the reality is, “No, I just want to say that we can help each other so that we can live in peace. Master George, don’t you think so?”

“Helping each other?”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, help each other.” Nicole almost admired her eloquence. At the same time, she also despised her humble attitude.

Even if Kevin’ phone was a good phone, the sound would leak out. Paul also heard Nicole’s words. Paul’s ice-cold face almost smiled.

Kevin rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said. “Where are you now?”

“The place where we ate just now, the parking lot, did you send Stephanie back? I can wait.”

“Wait.” Kevin hung up the phone.

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and knew that he agreed. Then she gently slapped herself and said, “Nicole, you are so flattering, I look down on you.”

The place opposite the hotel was also a very famous entertainment place in the local area. It was noisy and bustling. It was the favorite place for rich second generations to have fun.

She held the flowers and stood there, panting. When she heard the noise at the KTV door, she looked up and saw a group of men and women coming out.

The leading woman was Lara. What a coincidence it was. The two enemies met again.

Nicole wanted to get out of the way, but Lara obviously saw Nicole as well as the red roses in her arms. Thus Lara immediately left everyone behind and walked towards her.

Nicole didn’t want to embarrass herself on the road, so she turned around and left. But this group of people surrounded her.

Lara scoffed, “Hey, who is this? Isn’t this my niece? Why are you standing here alone?”

“It’s none of your business.” Nicole rolled her eyes at Lara.

Lara’s face immediately darkened when Nicole scolded her in public. “Nicole, do you still have manners? Who are you talking to?”

“Manners depend on different people. If a dog bites you, do you still have to stupidly stand there and let it bite you?”

It was the first time that Lara had been scolded in public like now. For a moment, Lara was so angry that she slapped Nicole in the face.

With the crisp and loud slapping sound, Nicole tilted her head, and the flowers on her body also fell to the ground, which were deliberately trampled on and scattered on the ground by those people.

Nicole was pushed to the ground. Lara hated Nicole more and more because of the family matter. She would never let Nicole go by any chance.

Nicole could only hold her head with both hands and resist the malicious punches and kicks of these people with her back.

“Stop!”

A low and deep voice rang out from behind this group of people.

Everyone withdrew their hands and feet and looked back at the black demon that seemed to come out of the ground. Because the man’s look was full of murderous intent, and his eyes were as sharp as blades. Just one glance was enough to break people’s hearts.

Lara was shocked and subconsciously took a step back.
