My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1983

Jared stared at the arm Nicole had broken away from. At that moment, he felt like he was the third wheel.

Jared faked a smile and said, "In that case, you treat your guest well. I shall leave." After the words fell, Jared turned around and left.

Seeing this, Lana started screaming, "Dad! Are you leaving?"

Lana's aggrieved look made Jared and her uncles feel distressed when they saw her. Even if Jared was upset, he could only say, novelebook.com"I'll be right next door. You can come visit me if you want to, Lana."

"Okay..." Lana nodded and pursed her mouth in an angry manner.

Though Jared by nature was soft-hearted, the situation had forced him to leave temporarily. He needed time to sort out his emotions.

Nicole watched Jared leave, thinking that she would be feeling relieved, but her heart was inexplicably heavy. Nicole stared at Jared with some reluctance in her eyes while Lawrence's eyes were filled with glee.

Smiling, he said, "I'm sorry I made you guys fight about me."

Nicole shook her head. "No, it has nothing to do with you."

I needed time to expand my influence here, and now it's almost ready. My work's going to be temporarily based here until I win the market over."

Lawrence's eyes were filled with ambition, but his words were full of considerations for Nicole.

"I was thinking that when I win the market over, the children would be old enough to move back here. Then I would bring you back here to find your lost family. I don't mind if you're the daughter of the Riddle family, but if you're willing, I can also live with you in Hustuaburg. However, from the looks of it now, it seems like you don't need it..." Lawrence ended his sentence with disappointment which made Nicole feel awfully depressed.

'It seems like he had this planned all along. Now it's me who seems like the bad guy who took advantage of his good will and feelings...'
