Love Unbreakable

Chapter 420 Give Birth To It

Nicole was seething with anger, trying hard to free herself, but her wrist was securely held. She decided not to provoke Jarrod further,

unpredictable

aggravating his wound once was already pushing it. Given his knowing that nature, he might react even more wildly.

Nicole aimed to vindicate the Lawrence family, not to get embroiled in a futile confrontation that wouldn't hurt Jarrod in the least.

When Nicole stopped her frantic attempts to struggle, Jarrod firmly held the back of her head and drew her close to him.

Their kiss was intense. It seemed Jarrod aimed to quench Nicole's fury with his warmth. He found pleasure in her eventual submission to him, and silently appreciated her wisdom in not pushing his limits further. After all, he wasn't sure how he might have reacted otherwise.

The scar above Jarrod's eyebrow added a fierce look to him, and his muscular arms demonstrated his strength, controlling the situation.

Jarrod only let Nicole go after her face flushed from the prolonged kiss.

Nicole's eyes held a deep disdain, and each glance she gave Jarrod pierced his heart with a twinge of discomfort.

Before Nicole could voice anyk? Before you go, I need to claim some sugar from of her grievances, Jarrod said, "Weren't you

planning on returning to work?

you."

Nicole was caught off guard. She had braced herself for him making her exit difficult, not anticipating this turn.

But then she quickly reacted. What did he mean by those words? Was he intending to endlessly take advantage of her? Impossible!

Fiercely, Nicole rubbed her lips, as though erasing an unsavory residue, and snapped, "Don't expect any courtesy from me next time you try anything."

Jarrod smiled and said, "I hope you don't show me any." That would make things more intriguing. He wasn't a decent person from the start, so why should he bother playing the role of a gentleman? That was quite a challenge

for him.

Rendered utterly speechless by his audacity, Nicole decided further debate was pointless. As she got up to leave, he caught her wrist again. Her face flushed with fury, she asked angrily, "What more do you want?"

Jarrod's reminder was almost casual, saying, "Just remember not to cross my lines, alright?"

This was his second warning.

Bottom line? Absurd. Nicole scrutinized Jarrod's expression but didn't detect any signs of him realizing anything.

Masking her true feelings, Nicole retorted sarcastically, "Jarrod, do you even know what a line is?"

Jarrod released her, offering a slight smile, and said, "I don't intend to harm you."

This was the essence of Jarrod, stripped of any guise. A madman who would go to any length to fulfill his desires.

Tears welled up in Nicole's eyes as she silently regarded him, and said, "Jarrod, spare me your justifications. Whenever you say that, it's just an excuse to manipulate me through hurting me. I won't let you have that satisfaction!"

Jarrod arched an eyebrow, seemingly unaffected by Nicole's insight into his true intentions. "Just keep in mind, we're in this together, for better or worse."

Nicole felt disgust wash over her, her entire body breaking out in goosebumps. She couldn't wait to get away from him, wanting to leave that very instant!

"Be back tonight," Jarrod declared in an even tone.

"What do you mean by that?" Nicole asked, confused.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"You'll need to look after me during the nights until I'm fully recovered," Jarrod explained, offering a slight smile. "I apologize for not making it clear earlier. That kiss was merely a down payment for your daytime absence."

"How dare you!" Nicole clenched her teeth in fury.

Jarrod's face remained stoic as he mockingly retorted, "You pride yourself on being morally superior, so according to the morals of the righteous, isn't it expected to care for someone you've injured?"

Nicole responded with a cold laugh, "That depends on whether the injured party is a human or a monster!"

Jarrod's patience started to fray, his tone becoming menacing, saying, "You seem reluctant to leave."

"I'm eager to leave!" Nicole was aware he wouldn't release her without a fuss, but any time away from him felt like a reprieve.

She eyed him cautiously, worried he might retract his statement, and said, "Reneging on your promíse isn't the mark of a true man."

Jarrod appeared amused by her comment, and his mood seemed to lighten. He chuckled softly and said, "You're quite familiar with what kind of man I am."

Nicole's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she said, "You... You degenerate!"

With that, she stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

Behind her, Jarrod's previously amused gaze darkened once more.

As Nicole crossed the villa's front yard, she noticed Alec kneeling on the ground.

Nicole paused, leaned over, and gently tapped Alec's shoulder as though dusting him off. Then, with a twist of irony, she said, "Alec, it looks like Jarrod doesn't hold you in high regard!"

Alec's expression soured dramatically.

Nicole smirked and walked away. She aimed to worsen Alec's perception of her, intensifying his disdain. Her goal was to highlight and widen the disconnect between Alec's and Jarrod's perspectives, potentially to her advantage. After all, Alec was far from blameless!"

Stepping outside, Nicole inhaled the fresh air deeply. She entered the car arranged by Jarrod and set off to the company with his men.

Before departing, Nicole cast a glance back at the austere villa, a smile playing on her lips.

Alec struggled to stand up. Then, a key slipped from his pocket. It was deliberately dropped, a key he'd always kept close.

Alec made his way back to Jarrod's room, finding Jarrod reclined on the bed, with a notebook laid out before him.

Upon Alec's entry, Jarrod asked softly, "Did she take the bait?"

Jarrod nodded calmly. "Good."

The room fell into silence.

Jarrod's gaze shifted to the off-white wall. He silently curled his lips downward and prayed deeply within. Nicole, please prove my trust in you wasn't

misplaced!

After departing from Jarrod's villa, Raegan felt a bit sad.

Mitchel, driving, broke the silence. "You seem troubled. Anything you want to share?"

Seeing that he took the initiative to speak, Raegan decided to give it a try and see if it would work. She said, "Mitchel, can you convince Jarrod to spare Nicole?"

"I can't do that," Mitchel said coldly.

Raegan's heart sank. She recalled Nicole's caution about keeping Mitchel in the dark

It was clear as day, just as Raegan sided with Nicole, Mitchel was undeniably loyal to Jarrod.

With little else to say, Raegan merely acknowledged, "Understood."

She then diverted her gaze to the scenery passing by the window.

Mitchel's irritation grew. Why couldn't she just ask a few more questions?

But Raegan dismissed his irritation, her focus lost to the view outside.

Mitchel's anger intensified even further. This heartless woman only seemed to acknowledge him when she needed something from him.

As they approached the city, Raegan suddenly demanded, "Stop the car!"

Mitchel slowed down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Blushing, Raegan said, "There's something I need to buy."/

"What do you need?"

Raegan struggled for words, gesturing toward a drugstore, saying, "I need to

visit that place."

Mitchel immediately grasped the situation. His expression darkened instantly. "You don't need that.

Raegan's cheeks burned brighter. "Yes, I do." She blamed him for their lack of

caution.

Mitchel's expression turned stern and said, "You're not in your fertile days. What are you worried about?"

Raegan was shocked. "How do you know that?"

"It's not something I'd forget," Mitchel said nonchalantly as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Raegan felt her ears heat up. This man was too much! How could he keep track

of such details? She corrected him firmly, "Even then, there's always a chance."

Mitchel's face softened into a smile and said, "Don't fret. If it happens, we'll just be giving Janey a sibling to play with."
