Ch. 1271..1275: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1271-1275

Chapter 1271

’You’re at the airport?” he asked. “How much longer is it going to take?” ‘Not very long, I guess.” Nicole looked at the time and realized that it had been half an hour.

She had figured that it would not take longer than that.

‘Okay. I’ll come over to pick you up now,” Martin said.

“Aren’t you busy?” she asked.

‘Don’t worry about that. Just wait for me at the airport.” Martin hung up after saying that.

The air marshal finally came out after some time, whereupon he went up to Nicole and said, “Excuse me, ma’am. That person has confessed everything.”

‘What did he say?” Nicole looked at the air marshal expectantly.

“According to his words, he said that he only had the idea of doing something he shouldn’t have done because of how pretty you look,” the air marshal said. “He’s willing to apologize and ask for your forgiveness.”

Nicole looked at the air marshal in disbelief. “Is that all?”

“Yes, ma’am. We have been looking into, and we can confirm that he wasn’t lying,” the air marshal said in a solemn tone of voice.

‘Impossible. I’m sure that he’s hiding something. The reasons he gave are ridiculous.” Nicole protested, unable to convince herself to believe that such was the outcome of the investigation.

‘How about this? I can bring you inside and talk to him personally if you don’t believe what he had said,” the air marshal suggested.

“Sure,” Nicole agreed, as she had been waiting for him to say that.

After entering the investigation room, Nicole made a beeline for the man and looked him right in the eyes. “You’re not going to fool me with those made-up explanations. I have my own ways to make you talk even if you wouldn’t tell me the truth here.”

“Lady, I’m admitting to what I have done. Please forgive me. I’m so sorry, but I really have no idea about the things you asked me about.” He began begging with a dejected look on his face.

Nicole ignored him as she felt that the man was just acting in front of the air marshal.

Then, she took a step closer to that person, and in an attempt to prevent the air marshals from hearing what she was about to say, she murmured, ‘I can let you go if you’d just whisper it to me now.”

“Lady, I honestly have no idea about what you’re talking about,” the man said.

Nicole looked him in the eyes. “Fine. I gave you the chance, but since you’re not taking it…’

Then, she turned around to face the air marshal. “I forgive him. Let him go.”

A smile immediately appeared on that person’s face as soon as he heard what Nicole had said. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”

“You better not do that again!” the air marshal warned him.

“Yes, sir. I won’t!” he replied, after which he proceeded to leave in a hurry.

“Is it okay for me to leave now then?” Nicole asked the air marshal.

“Yes, ma’am. I’m so sorry for taking up your time.”

Nicole did not even look at the air marshal when he spoke as she went right out to follow that person.

That person immediately felt that somebody was following him after leaving the room, and he was right, as the moment he whirled around, he saw Nicole staring at him.

It was at that moment that he froze. ‘Hasn’t she forgiven me? Why is she following me now?’

So, he stood in place and waited for Nicole to approach him. Afraid to make eye contact, he quickly swept his eyes across in a fleeting glance at her. “Lady, I thought you’ve forgiven me. Why are you still coming after me?”

“And you’re right. Just keep walking. I’m heading in the same direction as you.” Nicole leered.

“After you then.” That person extended his arm, gesturing for Nicole to walk ahead first.

Nicole looked at him coldly. “No, I’m good.”

Chapter 1272

The man swallowed, not daring to resist Nicole. He walked away timidly, and kept turning back his head back to look at her from time to time as he did.

Soon after, the both of them entered the parking lot together, and unable to take it anymore, he turned around to face Nicole. “Lady, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have disrespected you. I know you’re a generous person, so please, forgive me this time, for real!”

“I told you that I’ll let you go right now if you’d just tell me who sent you.” Nicole stared at him blankly.

“Nobody sent me! I just couldn’t control my urges. Why would anybody send me to do something like this?!” Nicole was pushing that person to the edge, and he was almost kneeling as he was.

“How about this, would you let me go if I kneel down in front of you?” The man fell to his knees in front of everyone as he spoke.

However, Nicole was not swayed by that gesture at all. His act of kneeling down was not going to change her mind if he still would not tell her who had sent him.

Concurrently, Jared’s car was parked next to Nicole, and the instant he spotted the man who was kneeling down on the ground before, he shifted his gaze to Nicole. “What’s happening?”

“Why are you here?” Nicole asked him back instead of answering.

Jared could tell that Nicole was still mad at him, so he said, “Martin had something to do and couldn’t make it here, so he told me about it.”

“What? I shouldn’t have asked him to pick me up here,” Nicole murmured under her breath.

The man kneeling down eyed Nicole and Jared from head to toe. ‘Her friend is here too? I’m screwed!’

“Lady, I’ve learned my lesson. Please forgive me!” the man continued begging.

“There are too many people here. We should take this elsewhere.” Jared glanced at the person on the ground and said to Nicole.

In response, Nicole gave Jared a glance and got into the car.

Jared looked at Max, who immediately got the message, prompting him to bring the man into the car and leave the place.

Knowing that Nicole would not want to return home with him, Jared got into the car and said, “To the mansion by the beach.”

During the journey, Nicole kept gazing out of the window. She did not look like she wanted to talk to Jared at all. Meanwhile, Jared was looking over at her, as he wanted to ask her about what had happened just now. In spite of this, he dropped the idea soon after, resulting in complete silence throughout the entire journey to the mansion.

Nicole got out of the door as soon as the car came to a halt. Then, she turned around and said to Jared, “The man from the airport had been following me. Be sure to find out whom he’s working for.”

She slammed the door shut before making her way into the mansion without displaying any intention of inviting him in. Jared wanted to get out of the car with her, but knowing that it would not be a good idea, he withdrew his hand from the door handle.

Instead, he stared at Nicole’s figure as it disappeared into the mansion and said, “Go to Max’s place now.”

Tia ran up to Nicole as soon as she entered the mansion. “Nicole! What brought you here?”

Tia was very surprised to see Nicole here. She did not see anybody coming into the mansion when she woke up moments ago, and yet, here Nicole was, appearing out of nowhere. Tia was just astonished.

“How are you guys?” Nicole looked at Tia and asked concernedly.

“We’re doing very well. Grandma was just talking about you this morning. She told me it’d be great if you could come back today, and you really did.”

“Where is she?” Nicole asked, as she did not see Mrs. Wallace Sr. anywhere in the living room.

“She’s still sleeping in her room.”

“I won’t bother her then. I’ll talk to her after she has woken up.” Even though Nicole wanted to see Mrs. Wallace Sr. as soon as possible, she did not want to disturb the old woman who was sleeping.

“Sure. You’ve got to be very tired, coming all the way here. Why don’t you take a nap upstairs too?” Tia asked.

Chapter 1273

’Okay then, I will head upstairs now.” ’Oh, by the way, what would you like for lunch? I will make it for you.’ Tia looked at Nicole and asked.

‘Anything is fine,” Nicole replied.

“Okay.” Tia watched Nicole who proceeded to upstairs, after which the latter went to the dining room.

Jared pushed the door in as Max was interrogating the man was kneeling in front of Nicole back in the parking lot.

When Max saw Jared, he respectfully approached the latter. “Mr. Johnston, this guy is pretty tight- lipped. He won’t say anything.”

Jared looked at the man, walked over, and sat down in front of him as he studied him. ’Why were you following that woman?’

’I have said it many times; I didn’t follow her. It was just a misunderstanding.” The man stared at Jared with a miserable look on his face, not expecting that things would end up where they were.

’A misunderstanding, you said? Then tell US what you know.” Jared shot him a cold stare.

’Yes. Well, the thing is, after I sat down, I saw that beautiful girl walking over, and as she looked really good, I sneaked a couple of extra glances. As I passed her on the way to the bathroom, the plane suddenly jolted and I bumped into her. Before I knew it, she pinned me to the floor and asked me who had sent me. I was confused, as no one sent me here. I’m just an ordinary guy.” The man looked at Jared, his eyes filled with shame as he begged for mercy.

“That is enough. Break his arm and let him go,’ Jared said, as he had heard the full story, concluding that this man was just a molester, and that there was no one behind him.

“Aye,” Max said.

’Please don’t!” the man yelled. “I know I messed up! Please let me go!”

Jared walked right out without another glance backward. “Drive me to the office.”

“Okay,” Max uttered.

Now at the office, Jared was seated his chair with his head filled with images of Nicole.

‘It has been so long. Does she have to be so mad at me? If Martin hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known that she was back in the country. Is she not even going to see me anymore?’ A series of questions lingered in Jared’s head, leaving him in no mood to work.

A phone call came in, prompting Jared to pick his phone up and answer it.

“Mr. Johnston, we’ve got news. The McCarthys are returning to the country tomorrow to visit the graves of their forefathers, but we found out that one of them has returned to the country long before that.”

“Find out who that person is.” Jared instructed in an icy tone of voice.

’Understood,” Jared’s man said.

Nicole was about to fall asleep when her phone suddenly rang. She reached for the phone and tapped the ‘answer’ icon, whereupon Harvey’s voice came through.

“Nicole, are you still at the airport?” Harvey asked in an anxious tone of voice.

“No, I’m back at home now,” Nicole said lazily.

’You are sleeping?” Harvey asked, though he could tell that she was by the sound of her voice.

’Yeah, is there anything else? If not, just hang up already.” Nicole tossed the phone aside, ignoring him.

‘Get some rest, then. I will see you tomorrow if you’re okay with that.”

After having heard no reply from Nicole even after a while, Harvey knew that she must be asleep, and so, he hung up.

Chapter 1274

Rat-Tat-Tat.

A few knocks on the bedroom door woke Nicole up from her dreamy slumber.

‘Come in,” she said.

Tia walked in to see Nicole rising from her bed, and said, “Nicole, the food is ready, and your grandma is in the dining room.”

“Okay, I will be right there.” Nicole yawned and stretched, after which she got out of bed and headed downstairs.

In the dining room, Mrs. Wallace Sr. was waiting with great anticipation for Nicole. She had heard from Tia that Nicole was back.

“I’m home, Grandma.” Nicole strutted over to take a seat next to her grandmother.

‘How is it that you’re back so soon this time?” Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked, happy but also puzzled at the same time.

“Are you getting annoyed with me already?” Nicole playfully and rhetorically asked.

“What are you talking about? I couldn’t wait for you to come back. Why would I be annoyed with you?” her grandmother asked.

Then she served Nicole a piece of her favorite dish. “Eat up and get some rest for a while, since you just come home.”

“Well, I won’t be leaving for a while this time,” Nicole said in lighthearted fashion.

‘That is great. I will make you delicious food every day.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. beamed, loving the idea of having Nicole by her side every day.

‘Yeah, I’m going to be stuffed like a pig, then,” Nicole joked.

After the meal, Nicole and Tia helped Mrs. Wallace Sr. up to the rooftop to enjoy the view of the sea.

It was then that Tia looked at Nicole with her head tilted and asked, ‘Did you have a good time abroad?”

“Not really, not as much as here, at least.” Nicole gazed off at the sea before her eyes, feeling at ease.

She could leave all her worries in the sea for the moment and not think about any of it. Then she remembered the gifts that she had asked Harvey and Kelly to purchase. “Tia, did you receive the gifts I’ve brought for the both of you?”

“Gifts?” Tia beamed.

“Yeah. There are a lot of them.” Nicole smiled as she looked at Tia.

“Where is it?” Tia asked, unable to wait to see the gifts.

“Haven’t they arrived long ago? Did you not receive them?” Nicole looked at Tia in surprise.

“Nope. Could they have been sent to the wrong address?” Tia speculated.

“No way… Oh, I remember; it should be with Harvey.” Nicole suddenly recalled the incident at the airport, where she had allowed Harvey to head home first in order for her to investigate the suspicious man.

Realizing that gifts must also be at his place, she hurriedly took her phone out and called Harvey.

“What’s up, Nicole?” Harvey was resting when he heard the phone ringing. He picked it up, and when he saw that Nicole was the one calling, he quickly answered it.

“Are the gifts you’ve bought at your place, right now?” Nicole asked, going straight down to business.

“I think they are. I’d have forgotten if you didn’t mention it.” Harvey suddenly realized.

“Is it okay for you if I come over to pick them up from you now?”

‘You don’t have to come over. I will deliver them to you right away,” Harvey said, as catching his rest is trivial as compared to getting a chance to see her again.

‘That would be much appreciated.” Nicole hung up once she was done speaking, as she did not feel the need to be too courteous to Harvey.

Harvey quickly got dressed. Before heading out, he made a beeline for the mirror to check out his outfit, making sure that he was satisfied with it before leaving the house and driving off to Nicole’s place.

After hanging up, Nicole looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Tia. “The gifts will be here in a moment. Grandma, how are the vegetables you’ve been growing?’

 

Chapter 1275

“All good. Why don’t I show you?” Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked, looking at Nicole.

“Great.” Nicole accompanied Mrs. Wallace Sr. into the garden.

“Wow! Did you grow all of these?” Nicole marveled as her eyes ranged over the greens in the garden.

“Yeah, your grandma takes care of these vegetables with utmost care!” Tia admired from the side.

“Grandma, you are not exhausted from all that farming, are you?” Nicole asked with concern.

“Nah, this is much less than what I had grown when I was in the countryside. It would be better if there is a bigger field for me to work with. ’ Mrs. Wallace Sr. said with an avuncular smile on her face.

“Grandma, there are only a few of US living here, and we don’t have to sell any of it, so this is more than enough,” Nicole said. “I wouldn’t have allowed you to plant this much if I were home.”

As Nicole and Mrs. Wallace Sr. were deep in conversation, a car pulled up at the courtyard of the Sea View Villa.

It was then that Harvey got out of the car to see Nicole, Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Tia chatting in the garden. “Hey, Nicole.”

“Harvey, come over and take a look.” Nicole waved her hand to beckon him over.

Harvey got out of the car to make his way toward the garden, and as he came up to Nicole, he greeted Mrs. Wallace Sr. before asking Nicole,” What’s up?”

“These are the vegetables that Grandma had planted, and when they mature, you can have some of them,” she said.

“Grandma planted all of these? So this is how we grow all of the vegetables we eat?” He eyed the vegetables in the garden in amazement.

He had never planted anything before, so the idea of growing vegetables was novel for him.

“Yes, if you have empty plots at home, you can try it, too. Just treat it as an educational hobby.” Nicole quipped, unashamedly asking a CEO to grow vegetables.

“Did you bring US the gifts?” Nicole asked.

“Yeah, they’re all in the car,” he replied.

“Grandma, let’s check the souvenirs out, shall we?” Nicole helped Mrs. Wallace Sr. up and walked her to Harvey’s car.

“Why don’t you help Grandma inside while Tia and I bring the gifts in? It will be easier for all of US.” Harvey suggested as he looked over at Nicole.

“That would be nice,” she said, and made her way back to the living room with her grandmother.

’Tia, come over and help me out.” Harvey looked at Tia.

“Okay,” Tia uttered, and followed him.

Before long, the both of they came waltzing back into the living room with gifts in their hands.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at them and said, “Why have you bought so much stuff? What a waste of money.”

“It is not much, really. These are just some of the local specialties,” Harvey, who knew best, explained, as he was the one who had bought them the souvenirs.

Nicole turned to Harvey. “Thank you so much. How much do I owe you? I will pay you back.”

“Are you looking down on me, thinking I can’t afford a bunch of things I’ve only spent pittance on?” Harvey playfully gave Nicole a disgruntled look, after which he walked over to Mrs. Wallace Sr. and placed the gifts in front of her.

“Mrs. Wallace Sr., these are all for you,” he said with a smile on his face as if she were his very own grandmother.

Perhaps, due to the fact that his own grandmother had left him when he was very young, he envied Nicole for having a grandmother with her.

“Thank you so much.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. beamed at Harvey.

“Don’t mention it. This is what we, the younger generation, should be doing. If you like me, why don’t you take me as your grandson?” Harvey suddenly suggested.

Nicole frowned upon hearing that, thinking that Harvey must be out of his mind for making such a suggestion.

She immediately chimed in before her grandmother could say anything. ’ Don’t you have a grandfather, Harvey? Why would you want to take my grandmother as yours? Don’t even think about it.”
