Chapter 1325: Contact Again
Nicole responded to Lena with an ’Mm’, "Lena, I’m counting on you and Joy. Please take care of me."
Lena shook her head with a smile, "Miss Nicole, you’re too kind. You’re Young Master Floyd’s woman, it’s our duty to protect you."
Lena smiled as she walked towards the restroom.
Nicole pressed her lips gently together, recalling what Lena just said, ’Young Master Floyd’s woman’, a strange feeling passed through her heart.
This feeling was something she had never experienced before, as if sweet honey was seeping into her heart, wrapping around it, tickling, making her heart uncontrollably flutter.

Upon learning that the people living next to the Floyd Family were sent by Jose Floyd to protect her, Nicole fell into an endless reverie.
Those past moments, those memories all floated in her mind one by one, always making her mouth involuntarily lift into a smile.
At night, Nicole stood before the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the brilliant sky outside, smiling lightly. Stretching out her hand, her fair and elegant fingers traced lightly on the glass, her eyes overflowing with tenderness.
After finishing, Nicole smiled softly, the tenderness in her eyes deepening as she looked at the three words she wrote down.
Yes, wasn’t she just poisoned by a kind of toxin? A toxin called ’Jose Floyd’, for which there was no antidote...
That man, from approaching her with endless hatred to getting closer, always involuntarily driving her to understand him. In the name of hatred, she had long silently installed such a man in her heart, yet dared not face this sentiment.
In fact, at that time she didn’t know that, in the name of hate, she had already loved this man deeply, into her left atrium, unable to let go.
And now, without those hatreds, her cold facade had long been conquered by him, collapsed beyond repair.
From when he thrust a dagger into his own right arm for her safety. To stopping her from getting engaged, arriving at the crash site with a bloodied head, every moment, every instance, he invaded her heart with such intensity, making her move for him.
She fell in love with this man—
Nicole took out her phone, flipping open the contact list, seeing the name ’Jose’, she struggled greatly.
Days of longing finally crumbled, unable to resist, her slender, delicate fingers landed on the name ’Jose’, carrying her endless yearning.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up, and at that moment, Nicole’s heart tensed up in nervous anticipation, even her breath became short and tight.
"Is there something you need?" A bland voice sounded, unlike his usual coldness.
Nicole pressed her lips together, her voice carrying tension, replying softly, "No—no, I just heard you’ve been having issues with Jude recently, so... wanted to ask you."
"Are you at the Floyd Family home now?" The other side didn’t answer but asked back.
Nicole responded softly with an ’Mm’, "Jose Floyd... I wanted to ask, why did you come to save me that day?"
Jose Floyd paused for a moment, his bland voice then floated through, "Jude is unfit to meddle with my affairs, it’s a provocation to me, and I couldn’t let him have his way!"
Is that why he saved her?
Nicole seemed lost, standing at the Floyd Family’s floor-to-ceiling window unseen by Jose Floyd, her eyes slightly dimmed...
"Then... nothing. Jose Floyd, goodbye." Having no idea how to continue, her throat felt dry and hoarse, Nicole lightly wiped away the name she wrote on the floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes lowered sorrowfully.
Just then, Joshua Floyd happened to walk down from upstairs, seeing Nicole on the phone by the window, casually calling out: "Nicole, I’m heading out to buy something now, is there anything you want to eat? I’ll bring it back for you."
Nicole turned to reply: "Then bring me a tiramisu."
