In My Mind In His World

Chapter 0287

Jasmine looked uncomfortable. “Ms. Jones, you must be joking. Nicholas and I plan to move in together when we’re ready to marry.”

“Actually, people have been advising couples to go on trips or before getting married nowadays. Otherwise, how do you kno compatible?” I replied casually with my gaze fixed on the window.

together you’re

Yasmine had once said this to me, though not nearly as politely. Before I got married, Yasmine had suggested that Nicholas and I travel together. She said that if he was not up to par in certain areas, I could still back out of the wedding.

Back then, I was so focused on marrying him that I did not consider it. I thought that even if Nicholas was not great in bed, I would be satisfied just looking at his face.

Nicholas spoke up in a cool voice. “Is that so? So you’ve already traveled and lived with Pete?”

I turned to him in surprise. His eyes were so calm as if he had not just asked such a gossipy question.

“Nicholas, what are you saying? Who Ms. Jones is with is her business. I admire her boldness. Compared to her, I’m quite conservative. But Ms. Jones is suggesting we live together before marriage,” Jasmine said softly to Nicholas.

“Actually, I think it’s okay. Why don’t you come over and help me pack some things later? It’s lonely living alone.”

Turning back to the window, this trip felt so long to me.

It was a familiar route, which was leading us to Coral Villa. It seemed that the villa Nicholas bought for Jasmine was near his home. No wonder Nicholas had appeared so conveniently in Jasmine’s livestream before.

Soon after, the car stopped in front of a villa, and Jasmine got out. reluctantly. I immediately unbuckled my seatbelt and moved to the back. seat, but Nicholas made no move to drive.

He turned to look at me. “Are you treating me like a chauffeur?”

In the hazy moonlight, I almost thought his words sounded gentle. Maybe after the incident with Marcus, I felt that even if Nicholas was dangerous, he could not be more dangerous than Marcus.

Resting one hand on the headrest, he looked at my silk scarf with interest. ” So, going to see Pete counts as traveling with him.

“As far as I know, he stayed in the hotel you booked. That counts as living together. So, under that scarf, there’s a hickey.”

“Were you spying on me?”

“Not really. It’s easy for me to check your whereabouts.” He then added, ” When I missed you and couldn’t find you, I had to check.”
