Ch. 1221..1225: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1221-1225

Chapter 1221

The instant the wedding was mentioned, Nicole became weak in the knees.She had not given it much thought just.

In fact, she had simply acted on the spur of the moment when she promised Mrs.Wallace Sr., as she saw how excited Mrs.Wallace Sr. was about their marriage.

I only did that to make her feel at ease.

If you have any opinions about the wedding, you can always talk to me about it."

Nicole suddenly shot

him a solemn look, thinking that Jared was unhappy because she had not discussed it with him and had promised Mrs.Wallace Sr.on her own.

‘I have my own opinions."

Jared's magnetic voice sounded out to her ear.

‘Tell me, what are they? If you don't agree to it, it's not too late for you to back out and find someone better for you."

Nicole looked at him calmly.

"You're thinking about these things? Did anything happen abroad? Anything that I wasn't aware of after I came back here?"

Jared's gaze became even more piercing.

The people he was most concerned about were Harvey and Ike.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмIf they were the actual reason behind the thoughts that Nicole had, Jared would not allow Nicole to return to Lanningbourg.

"Nothing happened.After all, marriage is an important thing.We must really think it through.If you have other thoughts or opinions, I'll respect them."

Nicole leaned herself against the wall and stared him in the eyes.

‘This is what my thought is.I will be sleeping here today to prove that I'm not here as a guest, but as an owner."

Nicole gulped.

Initially, she thought that he was going to tell her something unpredictable, but in the end, it was just a request to sleep in her room."

What a bore. I thought you really had something to say about the wedding and is that it?’

"A bore, huh. Were you expecting me to give you a different answer?’ Jared looked into her eyes and scrutinized her.

‘Who said that? Those were your words." Nicole said, wishing to wriggle her way out of his trap, but to no avail.

"Do you want me to get my sleep or not?’ she asked.

"Of course, I want you to. Not only do I want you to sleep, I want you to sleep together with me"

Jared lifted Nicole up as he said that and walked upto the bed.

The weather was nice and cool the very next day.

Seeing that Nicole had not woken up, Jared proceeded to caress her face.It was so soft and smooth to the touch that Jared could not stop himself from doing so.

Nicole was soon woken up by Jared's touch.She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"What are you doing? You're disrupting my sleep."

"Your face is satisfying to touch."

Jared stared at her with a smile.

"Gosh! Have you touched any that is not satisfying?"

Nicole grabbed the chance to question him.

"I have"

Jared immediately admitted to it without hesitation.

Nicole's eyes widened at an instant.

‘He actually dared to admit it.I guess a CEO like him would have women running to him no matter where he goes. He must be an expert at this by now"

Nicole became so furious that she slapped his hand away at once.

"Answer clearly, or else you're not touching me ever again!"

Realizing that Nicole had become jealous, Jared laughed.

"Are you seeing green?"

"I'm not! Quickly explain yourself, and don't you digress!"

Nicole looked at Jared with a glare, seemingly dead serious about it.

"I meant that I've touched animals before."

Jared looked at her in surrender.

"Quit screwing around.You could even think about using animals as an excuse!? I see that you just don't have the balls to fess up!"

Nicole continued pushing, as she could not believe him.

Seeing the serious look on her face, Jared realized that the joke had been taken too far.

After all, he had already told her the truth, which she could not bring herself to believe.

Chapter 1222

"Nicole, look at me."

Jared cupped her cheek.

"What will change if I look at you?"

Nicole stared at Jared, her eyes cold.

"I've never touched anyone other than you. You are the only one in my life."

Jared looked at Nicole, his eyes filled with affection and sincerity.

Nicole was stunned upon registering the look in his eyes and how earnest he was.

Initially, she just wanted to find out which woman had skin that was coarser than her.She had not anticipated such moving words from him.

"Jared, I see that you have a way with words and you're getting better at it now.At this rate, you are almost on par with Harvey," Nicole teased, refusing to cave in to his sweet talk.

Deciding not to pursue it anymore, as she had weaseled away from Jared, she sat up and went to the bathroom to give herself a rinse.

Just as she reached the bathroom, Jared passed her a toothbrush with toothpaste readily squeezed onto it.

"Here you go."

"Thanks."

Nicole grabbed it and began brushing while looking at the mirror.

As Jared had also picked his toothbrush up and had started brushing with her, the both of them looked at each other's reflection in the mirror.

It was at that moment that Jared felt a sense of warmth within him.

Nicole had never done something like this with anyone.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмShe felt that it was wholesome.

In fact, she wanted time to freeze this moment so that life would always be this beautiful.

After washing up, the both of them had breakfast together.

Nicole looked at the time and said, "Are you heading back to the office soon? I'm planning to visit the factory today and see if I can find any leads."

Jared raised his head ever so slightly and sized her up.

"I think it's better for you to just chill out this morning."

As soon as he had said that, Mrs.Wallace Sr.returned home.

When she saw that the couple had made their own simple breakfast, she frowned.

“Ah! Why are the two of you up so early? I just went to the market with Tia and was hoping to make something nice for the both of you."

Nicole immediately turned to look at Mrs.Wallace Sr.She stood up and helped her over.

"Grandma, it is fine.He's going to work soon, so we had an early breakfast. That way, he can make it to his office in time."

As soon as the last word was uttered, Nicole gave Jared a wink.

In response, Jared smiled, and as he was almost done with breakfast, he stood up and told Mrs.Wallace Sr., "Indeed, I'm in a rush to return to the office. I'll visit you some other time, grandma."

"Oh, alright then. Drive safe."

Mrs.Wallace Sr. looked at him kindly.

"Will do," he said, after which he turned around to give Nicole a glance while smiling.

"See you after work." Nicole frowned.

‘Who'd want to meet you after work, you nutjob"

But as soon as she saw him leaving, she immediately felt a sense of desire and longing.

Sensing Nicole's desire, Mrs.Wallace Sr. laughed, "Alright, alright.He is gone already.If you're that hesitant to let him leave, why didn't you tag along?"

Nicole could tell that Mrs.Wallace Sr. was teasing her, so she replied, "I never said I wanted to follow him. It's hard enough for me to come back, so I'd like to stick around and spend some time with you for a bit longer."

Mrs.Wallace Sr. smiled.

"You're a good child, indeed."

After the conversation was over, Mrs.Wallace Sr. brought Nicole into the kitchen and made breakfast together with Tia helping them.

Just like that, the morning ended in a peaceful note, being one of the quietest that Nicole had had in a while.

In the afternoon, Nicole headed out.She had planned to visit the factory and return home to pay his parents and brother a visit.

After all, they had no clue about her return.

Soon, Nicole drove to the factory.

 

Chapter 1223

Nicole thought it would be a ruin with nobody around. However, as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Claus.

Claus immediately chuckled when he saw Nicole as he walked toward her. "Why are you here, Miss Riddle?"

Jared had given him an arduous task early in the morning itself, making him think that he was going to be utterly bored for the entire day, which was why he did not expect Nicole to come over.

"Did Jared send you here?" Nicole guessed.

Claus laughed. "M-hm. You're right, Mr. Johnston sent US here to claim everything that can be salvaged before clearing the area for reconstruction.

I’ve got to give him credit where credit is due. Jared really is efficient,’ Nicole thought.

“Alright, carry on," she said. "HI go and have a look.”

Claus quickly stopped her. "Miss Riddle! This place is already in ruins, what's there to see?! It's not safe to walk here. Please don't get yourself hurt.”

Nicole shook her head. "It's fine. I'm just going to look around.”

Then, she asked Claus about the location where the fire had started, after which she went to the area where the generator was and examined it.

As expected, she could not find the problem.

Claus looked at her and asked curiously, "Miss Riddle, is there a problem here?"

Nicole thought about it and said, "Bring me some tools. I want to crank it open and have a look inside.”

Claus nodded and got someone to bring a toolbox over.

Nicole reached out for the toolbox and took one of the tools out as she stood in front of the charred generator and pried the shell open. As expected, the wires were already in a mess, but Nicole was still looking for clues.

Claus was confused, but he knew that Nicole would never do something if she did not have a good reason to, so he just waited for her at the side.

After some time spent inspecting the device, Nicole finally spotted an area that had melted in a manner different from the rest of the generator. Nicole's eyes narrowed.

Claus watched as she picked a wire up and examined it, so, in his state of curiosity, he asked, "Miss Riddle, is something wrong?"

Nicole's eyes darkened as she quickly a section of the wire off and passed it to Claus. “Put it in a bag and find out how this wire was melted.

Then, follow the clues and continue investigating.”

Claus immediately nodded and took the wire. "Got it."

He gotten word from Max that this fire was uncanny, so Nicole might have actually found a clue. With this in mind, Claus did not linger, and quickly brought it for inspection.

Nicole watched him from the back with a wicked smile. "I'll find you, no matter who you are!"

After two hours, Nicole returned home to her parents, and as she exited her car, she saw that Sean and Steve were both getting off their vehicles too.

They were flabbergasted when they saw her. "Nicole?! You're back?!"

Chapter 1224

"Yeah, are you having an off day today?" Nicole walked over and greeted Sean and Steve happily as well.

"Yeah, we came back to see mom and dad."

"Aren't you supposed to be in Lanningbourg? Why did you come back?" Sean asked Nicole, confused.

"I hate to be that guy, but I think we should stop chatting here at the entrance. Let's get in. Mom and Dad would be ecstatic to see Nicole.”

Steve smiled at them as he pushed them into the house.

"Okay, we can walk in on our own accord." Sean shook his head in defeat.

In the living room, Daniel and Gloria were watching the news on the couch while Spencer and Samuel were playing games on their phone.

"You two should lay off the phone for a bit. The screen really isn’t good for your eyes." Gloria reprimanded, having taken note of the time they had spent playing games while she watched the TV.

"We're fine. We just started,” Samuel responded.

"Are you sure?" Sean asked.

The moment Samuel and Spencer heard Sean's voice, they responded without even looking up. "Bro, it's not every day that you're back here. Can't you just mind your own business?"

"Is that how you talk to your eldest brother, kid? Look who’s back!" Sean yelled, pretending to be angry. Samuel and Spencer looked up at him. “Who?”

Nicole suddenly popped out from behind Sean, prompting Spencer and Samuel to exclaim, "Nicole!"

They stopped playing their games at once and threw their phones away before running up to her. "When did you come back?

Why didn't you tell US? We could've picked you up."

Nicole looked at them happily and explained, "I can't say that I've planned for it, and that's why I didn't have the time to tell you.

“Anyway, what was the game that you were playing? You looked pretty engrossed when you were at it." Nicole looked at them with her brows furrowed.

"Come here, we'll show you.” Samuel and Spencer dragged Nicole to the couch.

"Nicole, you're back!" Gloria greeted her happily the instant she saw Nicole.

"I'm home, mom and dad!" Nicole announced.

"Go on without me. I'm going to talk to mom and dad for a bit,” Nicole said while looking Samuel and spencer.

Then, she sat down with Gloria and Daniel without giving her phone another look.

"How was the trip to Lanningbourg, Nicole? It's been so long since we last saw you." Daniel was concerned about her, even as he was beaming.

He had not seen Nicole for a very long time, and as such, he missed her dearly and was ecstatic to see her when she came back.

"It's pretty good. How's everything here at home?" Nicole looked at her parents with an endearing gaze.

Indeed, she had not been home for a long time, which was why she was felt slightly unfamiliar with her home.

 

Chapter 1225

"We've been keeping well. Was it tough working abroad? You don't look so good."

Gloria was really observant, as she noticed that Nicole did not look like she had been sleeping well.

"Haven't you been sleeping well?" Daniel heard Gloria and had also noticed that Nicole did not look like she was in good shape.

"Ah... I do get enough sleep over there, but I came back in a rush yesterday. I'm probably just experiencing jet lag, so I'm fine." Nicole explained while feeling guilty.

‘It's all Jared's fault,’ she thought. ‘Il won't be this tired if it wasn't because of him.’

"Did you rush back here because Martin's factory had caught fire?” Daniel guessed.

Judging by how hasty her return was, Daniel figured that it had something to do with Martin.

"Yeah, I was informed that his factory was on fire, so I took the earliest flight home." Nicole said without anything.

She did not feel the need to hide anything from them as they were different from Mrs. Wallace Sr.

‘It was a pretty big fire. Martin suffered quite the loss, didn't he?" Daniel looked at Nicole with a frown.

“Yeah, half of the factory was destroyed, along with the equipment and the products." Nicole became upset when she talked about this.

Gloria quickly changed the subject when she saw that Nicole was beginning to feel sad. "Nicole doesn't come home very often, so let's not talk about things like these.”

"How are things with Jared? It has been some time since we've seen him." Gloria smiled at Nicole.

"We're fine. He's been really busy with work these days, and due to the fact that his grandfather is still in the hospital, he usually works until it gets very late," Nicole replied with a smile, though she began to feel sad for Jared as she finally realized how tough it must have been for him.

"It's not easy for Jared either. I didn't expect that his family would have to deal with someone like that, you know.” Gloria sighed.

"Nicole, how's Jared's grandfather?" Daniel asked.

"Jared said that he’s been experiencing a steady recovery, and I do plan to visit him in the afternoon.” Nicole looked at Daniel.

"Good. He's really old, so he has to be extra careful now. He should take good care of himself,” Daniel said.

"Yeah."

"Nicole, how's the project going?" Sean asked. "Can you tell US about it?"

Sean had been holding it in for a very long time. He wanted to talk to

Nicole about this the minute he saw her, but he did not get to do so after Steve had interrupted him. Now that he finally had the chance, he had to ask her about it.

"Mr. Harmon had gathered a team of researchers and we've already started the project. It's doing okay. We're currently researching the chip, and that's where I have some issues." Nicole told them some trivia to satiate Sean's curiosity.

"What is the issue? Do you find it hard to solve?" Sean looked at Nicole with a frown as though he was worried.

"I can't really summarize it, but it's kind of challenging. I'll find a way to resolve it though,” Nicole said, remaining positive about it and believing that they can succeed.

"By the way, how's the project with Aegis Corporation going, Sean?" Nicole asked.

"It has been running smoothly. We would've ended up with a miserable failure if Harvey had not invested at that time. I heard that he went abroad with you. Did he return with you too?" Sean asked.

If Harvey was back, he would have treated Harvey to a lavish dinner as a token of appreciation.

"He didn't," Nicole replied. "He's still busy with work over there."

‘I see. Send him my regards when you're back in Lanningbourg. Without his help, we would've been in hot water.” Sean looked at Nicole, stern and unsmiling.

"Alright. I'll do that for you, for sure." Nicole flashed him a smile.

"Are you done chatting? We can finally play together if you're done."

Samuel and Spencer had been listening to them the whole time and when the conversation seemed to be coming to an end, he interrupted them.
