My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2043

Nicole watched as Jared brought Lana upstairs in his arms. She bit her lip before following them up from behind.

After everyone had left, Gloria sighed and worriedly asked, "Will Nolan be alright?"

"No," Daniel comforted. "But he'll eventually realize that it is best to have both of his parents together."

Gloria nodded a little, not expecting Nolan to have such strong feelings of rejection toward Jared.

"Let's not think about it anymore. Let's go to bed," Daniel suggested.

"Okay, let's go."

Daniel and Gloria then went upstairs to get their rest. The once lively atmosphere had suddenly become gloomy. Daniel had noticed that Gloria was upset, and that was why he had changed the subject in an attempt to calm her down.

The next day, the sun shone bright and high in the sky. The members of the Riddle family were awake and had gathered in the dining room for breakfast. Nolan seemed to be feeling much better too, which was a relief for Gloria.

After breakfast was over, both Nicole and Jared sent the twins to kindergarten.

"Bye mommy! Bye daddy!" Lana bade her parents farewell with an affectionate tone in her voice.

"Bye mommy! Bye Uncle Jared." Nolan followed suit, though he deliberately addressed Jared by the title of 'uncle', and in a louder volume than usual too.

Jared frowned at him. 'This little brat.'

Overall, Jared was quite relieved that Nolan was being respectful. However, he found his action a little worrying.

As soon as he arrived, Iris, his administrative secretary, was already there waiting for him with all of the meeting materials prepared.

Iris knew that Jared would not lie about things like that. However she still felt curious about Nicole, who had appeared out of nowhere.

For the past five years, Iris was the only woman who had been by Jared's side. She had done her utmost to work alongside Jared in hopes of becoming his most competent subordinate so that he would notice her and allow her to stay by his side forever. In the years thus far, there was no one around who was able to displace the synergy and bond that they had both shared, but the sudden appearance of Mrs. Johnston had caused Iris to feel out of place.

"Miss Brown? Let's go," a voice suddenly uttered, derailing Iris' train of thought before she realized that Jared had walked far up ahead.

She immediately lowered her head and followed him from behind.

Max glanced at Iris and frowned. 'She's been working with us for five years and has never made such mistakes. What's wrong with her today?'
