Chapter 345 Nicole's Staying With Another Man Even though Jarrod tried to sound calm, Nicole could still detect the tension in his voice.

Nicole smirked and said, "Mr. Schultz, a wise person wouldn't call at this hour and ruin someone else's fun." ‘What if I'm not wise?" Despite looking unwell, Jarrod spoke with a force that demanded attention.

"Mr. Schultz, you used to be so smooth, especially with the ladies. What happened to your charm and understanding of simple manners?" "Nicole!" Jarrod's patience quickly ran out. His voice became stern. "I need you to come outside to meet me, right

Nicole playfully responded, "I'm so sorry, but I'm not wearing anything suitable to come out right now." There was complete silence on Jarrod's end. There was no sound for a long moment, not even a breath.

My actions are for my own reasons, for my happiness. Got that?" Hearing this, Jarrod felt a sharp pain in his chest. He clenched his fist and hit his chest, his voice growing colder, "I can make you happy, too. Don't go looking for anyone else. I know how to make you happy." Nicole understood exactly what he meant.
