Jose Floyd replied lightly with a grunt.
Jude Charington only snapped out of his shock at this mont, looked at Jose Floyd and quickly asked, "You want to keep her by your side?"
Jose Floyd didn’t reply to Jude Charington, but simply stepped outside.
Nicole nodded slightly to everyone in the room as a greeting, then followed in Jose Floyd’s footsteps.
Jude Charington watched their backs, and couldn’t help but say, "Is Young Master Floyd being serious?"
The boy sitting next to him sneered, "How could that be! He just thinks she looks pure and wants to play around, break her in! I’ll bet with you, at most a month, oh no, a week, and Young Master Floyd will kick this girl to the curb! Or casually dump her into so bar to let her fend for herself!"
"Only a fool would bet with you! I think the sa, okay? This girl nad Nicole isn’t special at all! How could she last long, with soone like Young Master Floyd who can’t be affectionate? Oh, this girl looks pretty pure, she would be better off with , with Young Master Floyd there’s no telling, she might end up losing her life... forget it, forget it, as long as Young Master Floyd likes it, it’s fine, anyways, she’s an orphan, if sothing bad happens to her it wouldn’t matter!"
"Exactly, exactly, let’s just focus on having fun ourselves! By the ti Young Master Floyd ets us again, Nicole might not be around anymore! So why waste our breath! The night is short! Enjoying ourselves is what really matters!!"
....
Yet, nobody could have anticipated that after Jose Floyd took Nicole from the bar, he kept her by his side for five whole years, treating her like a treasure. During this ti, Nicole was labeled as Jose Floyd’s woman, and when Jude Charington and others saw Nicole again, they treated her courteously, not daring to offend her easily.
Acquaintances who ntioned Jose Floyd knew one thing, it’s better to offend Jose Floyd’s right-hand man Camden than to displease Nicole in the slightest, if soone upset Nicole and it reached Jose Floyd’s ears, the consequence would be unbearable.

Nicole watched the fireworks in the sky, recalling the scene of her first eting with Jose Floyd, her eyes deepened.
"Wade, my heart is getting more and more confused, what should I do? Why was it him who killed you, why did it have to be him..."
In her mind, his indulgence in everything good about her past replayed over and over, alongside her casual excuse earlier to go out for so food because she was hungry, and without a word, he carried her and had soone prepare spicy hotpot.
He doesn’t eat spicy food, this she was very aware of.
After five years, they were intimately familiar with each other’s habits and tastes. But today, he ordered the spicy pot, she ate it with delight, yet he ate barely half of what she did.
On New Year’s Eve night, Nicole stood amidst the snowy street, feeling tangled inside, unable to calm down.
The na Jose Floyd lingered in Nicole’s mind and heart, refusing to fade away.

Nicole returned to the Seys Family late at night, only to find the living room brightly lit.
"What’s going on? Dad, Aunt Lily, Uncle, Aunt, what are you doing?" Nicole entered the living room, seeing the Seys Family all dressed in coats and changing into their outdoor shoes, feeling sowhat puzzled.
Lily Cox imdiately responded, "We’re heading to the hospital, Ariel is critically ill, it’s fearfully..."
"I’ll go too!" Nicole replied urgently, her concern evident.
Lily Cox nodded.
Veralina Quinn and Evan Seys were the first to head out, their faces anxious and pale, going to retrieve the car from the garage.
Lily Cox turned back and instructed Aunt Forest, "Aunt Forest, stay ho and look after the old master, don’t tell him about this, he can’t handle it. If he asks about us, just say we’ve all gone to the hospital to visit Ariel."
Aunt Forest nodded, "Yes, Second Madam."
The Seys Family hurriedly made their way to the hospital...
