My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2697

Chapter 2697

It was then that Nicole and Lawrence knew that this might be the last time the two of them could sit together and converse with one another.

Deciding to mention the days when they were on Crescent Island together before returning to San Joto, Lawrence looked up at Nicole and said, "Regarding the Fire Crest, I owe you a sincere apology."

Lawrence had always wondered what would have happened if he had told her the truth of the object he wanted her to acquire. 'Would things have turned out differently than they are now?'

Lawrence had deep regrets in his heart, filled with 'what if s' as he knew that the Fire Crest was the chief reason as to why they had fallen out of favor with one another.

"It doesn't matter really. To be fair, I don't think you are in the wrong." Nicole smiled.

Nicole, on the other hand, thought it was normal.

Lawrence's reason for keeping the truth of the Fire Crest from her was not entirely unexpected, given the fact that he knew she was its bearer.

Lawrence then stared at Nicole with a deep sense of longing in his eyes. "It seems that you really have truly recovered all of your memories. You're back to who you were once again."

"Yeah, I'm quite surprised myself too," Nicole replied before giving him a weak smile.

She herself had not foreseen that she would be able to regain her memories after she had restored her status as the rightful owner of the Fire Crest.

On top of that, not many knew that she had lost her memory or the fact that she was actively trying to recover from it.

'Lawrence might've figured out what had happened based on our conversation earlier. He was just trying to test me,' she thought.

"Regardless of how it happened, I must still congratulate you for regaining your memories." Lawrence smiled as if he was genuinely happy for her.

After a while, Lawrence bid his goodbyes and left, with Lulu entering the office right after he had made his exit.

"Why did he come here? Why's he back? Did things not go well in Crescent Island?" Lulu asked with a look of confusion on her face.

'If things went well back in Crescent Island, he wouldn’t have been back here so soon,' Lulu surmised.

Nicole raised an eyebrow as she stared at Lulu before nodding along. "Point taken.”

Nicole agreed with Lulu. 'It's quite strange now that Lulu has brought it up. If his pursuit of the Water Crest really went well, everyone would've received some kind of news about it. It's impossible that he'd give up so easily unless...he has found another way to crack it?'

Nicole lowered her eyes as a flurry of thoughts raced across her mind, and as she stared at her watch, her eyes narrowed. 'He left for the Water Crest, and he probably might've returned because of it. But what exactly is his next move? What is it that brings him back here?'

"Christ! Don't get too worried about it. Since things aren't going his way, him coming back here doesn't mean it will either," Lulu comforted as she eyed the somber look on Nicole's face.
