My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 28

In that case, it was not too bad to be his fiancée. Wait a minute; what the hell was she thinking? How could she compromise just for the coffee? She coughed with embarrassment but still kept her modesty. 

“Thank you, Mr. Johnston. I will come again when I have time.”

She loved coffee, so why not since it was free? 

“Okay.” He stared at her pretentious look and could not help but smile. This girl seemed to like his coffee beans.

 “I will go now. See you around.” Nicole waved goodbye. She smirked when she turned around. She would come for the coffee often.

Max came into the private lounge after Nicole left. Jared immediately instructed Max, “Check Nicole’s background and don’t alarm the Riddle family.” 

He wanted to figure out the relationship between this girl and Mr. Ellison, and how she knew the existence of his estate.

Max bowed his head, turned around, and left to find out Nicole’s background.

Turning his gaze to the floor-to-ceiling window, Jared looked at Nicole’s slender body from behind and smirked unconsciously. This girl had aroused his interest.

Nicole got into the car, looked back at Jared, sitting by the window, and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she was smart enough to use Mr. Ellison as a straw man. When she thought about it again, she felt obliged to visit Mr. Ellison, as he was really her benefactor 

Back at home, Nicole did not expect to see the twin brothers there, either. Sitting across from them was a tall guy in a school uniform with a refined persona.

His school uniform was like that of the high school, but the color of the collar was darker, looking like that of the college.

“Stanley, Nicole is back.” Spencer immediately introduced when his keen eyes spotted Nicole.

Stanley looked over at Nicole, his eyes twinkling with surprise.

At first, he thought her sister from the countryside would have that rustic look. But Nicole did not have that at all. Instead, she was incredibly beautiful and shared the same facial features as her brothers.

“Hello, Stanley,” Nicole spoke first, her face breaking out in a gentle smile. Stanley looked a little shy and nodded unnaturally. 

“Hello, Nicole.” Spencer quickly said to Nicole. 

“Stanley is a nerd and not good at talking to beautiful girls. His face is blushed again.”

 “Shut up.” Stanley glanced at Spencer, his pale face even redder than before. Nicole did not expect that the top student whom Spencer and Samuel mentioned had such a shy personality. 

The air was still for a few seconds. Nicole had no idea what was going on and why the twin brothers looked at her nervously. Suddenly, Stanley held up his glass and clinked glasses with Nicole.

“Huh?” Samuel and Spencer were stunned. Even Gloria was wide-eyed.

 “Stanley, are you okay?” Stanley shook his head. 

“I am alright.”

He felt strange, too, as he usually was afraid of interacting with the opposite sex, and even when Norah approached him, he felt uncomfortable. But he was not resenting Nicole at all.

Gloria could not help but wonder if this was the beauty of blood relations.

While everyone was stunned, someone called out at the door.

 “Mom, everyone, I am back.” Norah’s voice sounded sullen. She had come in and saw Nicole toasting to Stanley before she called out. 

Just that no one had not noticed her, she felt terrible because of jealousy. Stanley had always resented her, and no matter how good she was to him for the past years, he still resented her. But he changed into another person as soon as Nicole returned.
