Chapter 695: Chapter 694

Nicole’s heart nudged her to not meet up with Levant, but Nicole remembered what Stephen told her during breakfast. Now that she knew Levant and her were a pair of committed lovers in the past, she felt guilty that she wanted to turn him down.

I can’t push my fiancé away just because I have lost my memory, right?

Nicole bit down the discontent within herself and replied, “Let him in.”

Levant walked to Nicole with a big grin on his face. He had an expensive present for her.

“Nicole, this is a limited edition wristwatch. I think it will suit you well. Let me put it on you.”

“I already have a wristwatch. You can keep this.” Nicole outright rejected Levant’s gift.

Levant stared at Nicole in all seriousness. “This wristwatch is made to order specifically for you. It represents my feelings for you. If you reject it, I will be very sad.”

Levant’s puppy eyes were begging for Nicole’s pity. All of a sudden, Nicole felt sinful for not accepting his gift as though she had cheated on him.

She writhed her lips and stuck out her hand hesitantly. Glee instantly broke out on Levant’s face. He gently enwreathed her wrist with the watch. “It’s so pretty! Do you like it?”

Nicole nodded her head gingerly.

Out of the blue, Levant put his arm next to Nicole’s. “I also have one on me too. It is made to match yours. Us wearing the same watch means that we will think of each other all the time.”

It’s a couple’s watch?

Nicole was stunned.

Why did he have to make me wear it before saying it’s a couple’s watch?

Nicole was perturbed. She felt disrespected.

“Nicole, it’s pretty sunny outside. Let’s go out for a walk.”

“Levant, I’m not feeling very well. I think I’ll need to rest. Sorry, but I won’t be joining you.” Nicole had a sheath of ice over her face.

Levant froze for a moment before he replied, “Alright then, rest well. I will see you tomorrow.”

“Mmhmm. See you tomorrow.”

Nicole nodded curtly.

After Levant left, Nicole let out a breath in relief and unlatched the watch from her wrist. She murmured to herself incoherently as she placed the watch in her drawer.

Tsk! As if I’m going to wear it all the time once you get it on me!

No way, José!

Nicole shut the drawer with a nonchalant push. She took an apple from her nightstand to eat.

In the afternoon, Stephen ordered a maid to fetch Nicole to the study. He said he was going to teach her the ways to manage the Musgrave family’s business.

Stephen had always wanted to let Nicole succeed in his position, but she always turned down his offer in the past. Now that her memory was wiped clean, she was willing to learn the ropes to run her family’s business.

Truth be told, Nicole accepted Stephen’s offer as she was getting bored dawdling around in the estate. She figured that some work would help her kill time.

Nicole ambled gracefully across the hallways in the direction of Stephen’s study.

She halted in front of the garden as she was passing the garden.

Huh, didn’t he apply to become a bodyguard at our place?

What is he doing next to the swing?

Apart from feeling curious, an uncanny thought crossed Nicole’s mind.

Is he trying to tamper with the swing so that I will fall from it? Just so he can show up in time to save my day?

Holy crap! What a scheming fox!

Abhorrence was scribbled all over Nicole’s face as she tiptoed over to watch him from his back.

He’s actually trying to spoil the swing!

“Hey, loser! I knew it! You are up to no good! Have you forgotten what I told you? I asked you to forget about what agendas you have to get into the Musgrave’s household, and now here you are wrecking my swing?”

Evan, who was in the middle of dismantling the swing, was shocked by the ear-piercing shrieks of Nicole.

He was especially irritated at Nicole for calling him a loser.

He turned around and glared at her.

If she had not lost her memory, he definitely would have gone off on her for shaming him.

“I have a name. It’s Evan, not loser. Please call me by my name.”

Evan’s tone was warm and gentle, but at the same time, it carried weight and sounded like a command.

Nicole furrowed her brows and repeated Evan’s full name. “Evan.” Hmm, this name sounds quite…

Midway through her thoughts, Nicole noticed a hopeful gleam in Evan’s deep set of eyes.
