My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2098

Chapter 2097

“Grandma, I want to sleep. Why don’t you tuck me in?” Lana softly pleaded with Gloria, having understood what her brother was trying to do.

“Alright, Grandma will stay with you,” Gloria’s eyes wrinkled with a smile.

Lana had her ways of touching people’s hearts.

As Gloria led Lana away, the latter signaled Nolan with a glance, to which he nodded his head. Only then did she walk off with a smug sense of satisfaction. Although Lana could not understand what Nolan was doing, she knew he wanted to avenge their Mommy. That was enough for Lana, as the bad guys should be taught a lesson.

After Gloria had taken Lana away, Nolan continued typing away on his computer. Soon, he raised his chin in triumph and keyed one last line in. He then closed his computer in contentment, happy at the masterpiece he had created.

After giving himself a rinse, he climbed into bed, covered himself with a blanket, and slept.

Nicole, who knew nothing about anything, simply ate dinner and prepared herself for some good rest, with Jared joining her in finishing their meal. He waited for the maids to place all the tableware away, after which he followed Nicole to bed.

Jared saw Nicole’s complexion return to normal as he laid down, feeling relieved. “You don’t have to work so hard.

They can’t hurt you. They’re not capable of it.”

Nicole froze for a moment, carefully pondering about his statement before understanding that Jared was talking about Damien and Dillion. She also understood why Jared had assumed that her exhaustion was due to the issue of inheritance.

“I know,” Nicole bit her lips.

Deep down, she felt that there was no better candidate than Sean.

Jared reached out to embrace Nicole in his arms. “Since you’re aware of it, don’t bother about any unnecessary things in the future.”

Jared knew these jobs were not enough to make Nicole so stressed out. It was the people and the issues surrounding them that had affected her mood.

The sunlight rose, casting its rays through the curtains into the room. Feeling the glare of the lights through her eyelids, Nicole frowned and instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes. Then, she slowly opened them.

As the lights went through the gaps of her finger, Nicole’s momentary confusion faded, and she quickly returned to her senses.

“You’re awake,” Jared’s voice blared out, and Nicole turned to face him, her lips inadvertently brushing against Jared’s cheeks.

Jared’s pupils contracted abruptly, and his gaze darkened a little, exuding a vibe that hinted at danger. Instantly feeling the change in the aura around her, she rolled off the bed and hurried into the bathroom.

Watching Nicole’s fleeing figure, Jared shook his head lightly with a helpless smile.

Then, he wondered, ‘When will she get used to me? Do I really have to wait for her to regain all of her memories?”

In the bathroom, Nicole splashed her face with cold water a few times before becoming completely awake. She could not help but blush with embarrassment.

Deep within, she was thinking, ‘Nicole. Oh, Nicole. That was an accident. But that accident was just so embarrassing. Why can’t I just disappear on the spot?’
