Ch. 1296..1300: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1296-1300

Chapter 1295

“I'm not in a hurry. After all, I've got nothing else to do today. I thought I'd just check out how things are progressing on site," she said.

‘If you need a space, I can rent one that will fulfill all your needs. Then, you wouldn't have to go around the bush with Harvey,” Jared offered, wholeheartedly wishing to prevent

Nicole from meeting Harvey.He did not want his own fiancee to constantly associate herself with a selfish man like Harvey.

‘It's fine. There's a free one available, so why would we spend money on rent? Why should I say no to freebies?" Nicole declined, for although she knew that money was not an issue for Jared, she felt that there was no need to waste it on rent.

"Okay then, whatever makes you happy,” he said.

Jared had already tried his best to persuade her, and he knew that he could not force her into it.

Then, they continued with their lunch.

After lunch, Nicole bade Jared goodbye and immediately drove to where Harvey was.

‘Harvey, are you free now?" Nicole asked as she called Harvey on the phone.

"Yeah, why?” Harvey asked in confusion.

"Nothing much. I'm just thinking of visiting the site you mentioned. Will you be available to head over there now?"

"Yeah sure. When will you be reaching? I'll head over there now." Harvey quickly took his jacket and rushed out of his place as he was talking on the phone.

‘I'm driving now,’ she said. "Can you send me the exact address?’

“Sure.” Harvey immediately sent the location to Nicole. Then, he ignited the engine and drove over.

"Nicole. I've sent you the address. I'm hurrying over now, so I think I'll be arriving earlier than you,” Harvey said in a voice note to Nicole.

"Got it," she replied.

After twenty minutes, both of their cars pulled up at the basement of a building at the same time. There, Nicole and Harvey got out of their cars and made their way toward each other.

"You're pretty quick. I thought I'd arrive before you, and yet here we are. Here at the same time.’ Harvey looked at Nicole with the corner of his lips raised, smiling.

‘Didn't you see my ride? It'll be odd if I arrived late with that." Nicole shot him a glance

"Soon, I'll get myself one that's faster than yours.” Harvey narrowed his eyes at Nicole's car and commented.

“As long as it's not the same model as mine, it's your call to make,” Nicole said, and walked into the building.

Harvey followed her at once and said, "I've never thought of buying the same model as yours. But after hearing what you just said, it makes me even more interested in that idea. Who knows, I might just buy the exact same model with the exact color.”

Nicole turned around and glared at Harvey. ‘You! Fine, if you like it that much, I'll just sell mine to you then.’

"You're willing to sell me the car which Mr. Johnston had gifted you?” Harvey raised his eyebrows and reminded her.

Hearing Harvey's words, Nicole's lips twitched. "You actually took it seriously? I was just messing with you."

"Pfft. If I didn't mention it, you would not have remembered that," Harvey mocked.

“Just lead the way." Nicole took a few steps forward and pushed him a little.

Then, the both of them got into the elevator.

When the elevator opened again, the entire floor of the empty office building was unveiled before Nicole's eyes.

‘Why isn't anyone here?" Nicole murmured. ‘’It's working hours and yet there's not a single soul here”

Harvey seemed to have noticed her doubts, during which he replied," There's no one here. The entire floor is yours.”

"The entire floor?" Nicole whirled around in shock and looked at him. 'Did I hear him correctly?’

Chapter 1297

"Now that you mention it, it seems to be a clever idea, after all. Anyway, I would never collect rent from you. If you really feel bad, then just take it and owe me that favor."

Harvey looked at Nicole.

Deep down, he was really satisfied. Indeed, it would be great news for him if Nicole owed him a favor.

Seeing that Harvey was persistent about not collecting rent, Nicole could only give up on that idea.

"Fine then, I'll owe you one, but you are not to make any absurd requests," Nicole told Harvey in a solemn tone of voice.

"But what if I really want it?" Harvey said in an attempt to challenge Nicole. "In that case, you better take the rent." Nicole replied in a serious manner. "Okay, okay, I was just messing with you.” Harvey said, switching his tone from one of seriousness to playfulness.

He did not want to offend Nicole. After all, he wanted to utilize that favor for something beneficial.

Nicole rolled her, evidently unhappy.

Then, she said, "Well, that's all for today. I'm leaving.”

"You're leaving so soon?” Harvey followed Nicole and entered the elevator.

"Why should I stay here? I've already seen everything I wanted to see." Nicole turned to Harvey and explained.

"Okay then," he uttered.

"Did you manage to take care of the equipment and raw materials? Do you need my help?" Harvey asked.

"Nah, I've already asked Jared to help me take care of them,” she replied.

"Well, just let me know if you need any sort of manpower, I can source them out for you.” Harvey offered, wanting to try his best to lend Nicole a helping hand.

"In terms of manpower, we already have Kelly and me. I think three or four more people would be enough for the time being. If you have any suitable candidates, do help me contact them." Nicole explained as she looked at Harvey.

“Alright, leave that to me." Harvey agreed.

When they reached the car park, Nicole turned around and looked at Harvey. "You don't have to send me off. I'm driving back now."

"Are you going back to the Sea View Villa?” Harvey asked with her brows raised.

"Yeah, you have any business there?" Nicole got into the car and stared at Harvey.

Harvey climbed onto the passenger seat at once. "Get the engine started.” "Why? You're following me back?" Nicole asked as she looked at him in puzzlement.

"Yeah, isn't it obvious?" he replied. "I haven't seen Mrs. Wallace Sr. for quite a while. Since my schedule is clear today, I'll just come over and pay her a visit for a bit.”

"Harvey, do you really think of yourself as her biological grandson?" Nicole asked, as she was almost rendered speechless. ‘This dude really is full of himself.’

"Get out! I'm not taking you with me.” Nicole chased him out harshly.

"You have yet to cross the river and you're burning the bridge already?" Harvey asked in a confident tone of voice.

‘I'm not burning the bridge after crossing it. It's just that, I don't want to bring you home with me." Nicole looked into his eyes, as she spoke her mind without any formalities.

"You really have got the nerve to speak to me like this!" Harvey raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

If it were him, he would not have the guts to utter the words she had uttered to him.

After all, it was he, who prepared the office space for her. ‘Is there really nothing between US?’

Chapter 1298

Nicole kept her eyes on Harvey, who was nothing short of awkward, and thought that it was funny. She had deliberately done that that so that Harvey would have no choice but to use up that favor that she owed him. That way, she would not have to feel as if she was beholden to it.

However, Harvey was adamant about not mentioning it. Instead, he stayed in her car and refused to get off.

The both of them sat in the car, refusing to give in for a few minutes. Seeing that Harvey just would not get out of the car, Nicole could only ignite the engine and drive off to the Sea View Villa.

On the way there, Harvey made himself at home in Nicole's car.

Unconsciously, he reached out to switch the music player on, but Nicole immediately reacted by smacking his hand away.

"Weren't you taught to not simply touch other people's belongings?" Nicole shot him a glance.

"I just wanted to play some music, How is this considered as touching other people's belongings?" Harvey ignored her and proceeded to tum the music player, going as far as to connect it to his playlist.

In an instant, the entire car was booming with Harvey's favorite songs.

Unable to tolerate his antics anymore, she floored the accelerator and sped off to the villa.

"Nicole, slow down. Why are you speeding?” Harvey asked, as he noticed that the car was moving faster by the second.

Nicole smiled to herself and ignored him. Instead of listening to him, she drove even faster, and soon after, the Lamborghini pulled up at the Sea View Villa.

Nicole continued ignoring Harvey as she got down. She immediately opened the car door and strutted into the villa. Seeing this, Harvey quickly got down from the car and chased after her.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Tia were watching television in the living room when they arrived. Upon hearing someone coming in from the entrance, they turned around.

"Nicole, you're back. Come have a seat.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. noticed invited Nicole in upon noticing her.

“Grandma, how have you been?" Harvey's voice sounded at the very next second.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked behind Nicole, and recognized him as Harvey Ellison, the grandson she had taken in previously.

"Harvey, you're here too. Come and have a seat.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. extended a warm welcome to Harvey, totally forgetting about Nicole's existence along the way.

Nicole rolled her eyes at Harvey. ‘It's all his fault that half of grandma’s love and attention has been robbed from me. She actually forgot about me as soon as she saw Harvey.’

Nicole walked over and sat on one side while Harvey sat at the nearest spot to Mrs. Wallace Sr.

“Grandma, you look a lot better now,” Harvey complimented her with sweet words.

Nicole rolled her eyes at him again, ‘What a smooth talker.’

Harvey ignored Nicole's reaction and continued chatting with Mrs. Wallace Sr., "Grandma, how big are the vegetables you've planted? Can you take me to the garden where I can see them?"

"You still remember my vegetables and plants?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. replied with a smile to Harvey.

‘Come, I'll bring you there.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. stood up as she spoke, after which she brought Harvey to the garden.

Now at the garden, Mrs. Wallace Sr. pointed at the vegetables and said, ‘ Look at them. Aren't they taller than the last time you were here?"

"Yeah. I remember the last time I came over, they were about eleven inches tall? Now they're about three feet tall, right?" Harvey looked at the matured vegetables in surprise.

It seemed that barely a few days had passed since he last visited, but the vegetable had grown at a rapid pace.

"The rainy season has been good this year, and that is why the vegetables could grow tall and healthy." Mrs. Wallace Sr. stared at her own farm in elation.

"I see.” Harvey looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr., as a major realization dawned upon him.

Chapter 1299

"I have not watered them yet. Since you're here today, would you like to give it a try?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked.

"Sure. How could I miss out on such an interesting experience?” Harvey took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.

He was ready to do it.

Seeing Harvey's enthusiasm, Mrs. Wallace Sr. was beaming with joy.

"There's a bucket and a ladle here. Fill the bucket with water, and then use the ladle to pour water over each plant," Mrs. Wallace Sr. said, guiding Harvey at the side.

"Got it. Grandma, you can just sit at the side and watch me.” Harvey grabbed the bucket and confidently strutted toward the faucet.

After filling it up, he carried the bucket of water to the garden.

Then, he turned around and looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. "Grandma, can I start from here?"

"Sure. Be careful, don't slip and fall over.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. reminded him kindly.

“I'm fine, don't worry.” Harvey proceeded to scoop some water out of the bucket with the ladle and watered the vegetables.

Harvey watered the first plant, and then the second, and then the third.

After he had made his way to the end of a furrow, he turned around proudly and waved to Mrs. Wallace Sr., indicating that he had watered an entire furrow of vegetables.

At that moment, Nicole and Tia walked over to see what was going on. All they saw was Harvey watering the plants carefully. As he was about to complete his round of watering on the second furrow, he lifted his head in the same way and looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr.

Not expecting Nicole to be there as well, he did a wider and more rigorous wave, and shouted, "Nicole, do you want to experience this?! It's quite fun!"

"No, thank you. I should leave the fun to you.” Nicole twitched her lips and laughed.

"Okay. You can just watch me from there. Watch me conquer this vegetable garden.” Harvey confidently held the ladle up and pointed to the garden.

Watching Harvey's antics, the three ladies at the side burst into a gale of laughter.

Harvey continued watering the vegetables happily, but the second he turned around, he stepped onto the muddy water which was flowing out. In an instant, he tipped over and fell sprawling on his face.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. gasped, as she was taken aback by the sight. ‘Tia, get over to him and help him up."

“Okay.” Tia ran up to Harvey at once.

As soon as she reached Harvey, she pulled him up with all of the strength she could muster. The moment Harvey stood up, she saw that his face was stained with muddy water, making him unrecognizable.

The three ladies broke into a fresh gale of laughter at once, with Nicole laughing so hard that she was on the ground, clutching her belly in pain.

Harvey stared at them, dumbfounded as he could not fathom why they were laughing so hard.

‘What are you ladies laughing at?" Harvey asked out of genuine curiosity.

"Nicole, tell me, what are you ladies laughing at?" Harvey tuned to Nicole and asked.

Nicole looked at him and waved her hands. She was laughing so much that she could not even speak.

Harvey could only turn to Tia and asked, "Hey, you're laughing too. What's so funny?"

Tia had to suppress her laughter, and with tears in her eyes, she replied, ’ You'll find out once you look in the mirror.”

Harvey frowned a little and proceeded to make his way to a mirror to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, just as he took another step forward, he tripped over again, causing his entire body to fall into the mud again.

Seeing this, the three ladies burst into another thunderous gale again, with Tia rolling on the floor in laughter, this time around.

Harvey could not help but pick himself up without any sort of assistance. Then, he walked out of the garden cautiously, minding every step he took. When he had finally stepped out of the garden, he went to the faucet and was about to wash his hand when he suddenly saw his own reflection from the windowpane beside him.

At first, he was stunned for a moment. But after he turned around to look at Nicole, he could not help but join them in their chortling fit. It was then that he finally understood why the ladies were laughing so hard at him.

Chapter 1300

"Harvey, you should just simply wash off the mud on your face and hands. Then, Tia will lead you to the shower so that you can wash up.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. told Harvey in a caring manner.

Harvey looked at her and replied, "Alright."

"Oh yeah, let Tia clean your dirty clothes after you've changed,” she added.

"Okay." Harvey then went made his way to the bathroom with Tia leading the way.

"Grandma, let's head inside." Nicole helped Mrs. Wallace Sr. up and brought her to the living room.

"Nicole, go and prepare a set of fresh clothes for Harvey." Mrs. Wallace Sr. ordered.

"Grandma, I don't think we have any clothes for men in this house.” Nicole looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. in embarrassment.

"I think those oversized clothes you usually wear will fit him. Why don't you grab one of your shirts for him?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. stared at Nicole with her brows raised.

Nicole began to blush, ‘How could I let Harvey wear my clothes? Besides, they are all filled with my scent.’

"Grandma, all of my clothes are worn. It wouldn't be nice for him to wear them, would it?" Nicole explained to Mrs. Wallace Sr. embarrassedly.

“Other than your clothes, none of ours will fit him. Judging by how Harvey behaves around you, I don't think he'd mind.” Mrs. Wallace Sr. posed.

Nicole sighed, as that seemed to be the only way. "Alright then."

Nicole went into her room and began to go through her wardrobe. "This is a no. Not this one too. Which should I let him wear?"

Harvey was done showering after some time, and was about to walk out when he suddenly realized that he had no change of clothes.

As such, he stayed in the bathroom awkwardly. ‘It wouldn't be nice if I walk out in this robe. It's a little impolite for me to ask for someone too. What should I do?’

Just as he was contemplating, there was a knock on the door. "Harvey, I've left the clothes on the drawer outside. You can grab it just by stretching your hand out."

‘It's Nicole’s voice. Did she go out to buy clothes for me?' Harvey heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Nicole was around, or else, he would have to stay in the washroom forever.

"Okay, got it,” Harvey quickly replied to her.

Then, Nicole left the room.

Harvey opened the door and stretched out one hand to find that there really were clothes in there. He grabbed it and immediately closed the door.

He held the clothes against his body to gauge if it would fit and it seemed a little too small for him. 'It's fine. Nicole doesn't know about my sizing. It's good enough that she had bought something for me.’

Harvey quickly wore the clothes and stepped out of the bathroom. He looked at the mirror and noticed that both the shirt and pants were quite small. The silver lining was that they were stretchable, and as such, he could still fit into it.

All of a sudden, he registered a floral scent. Then, he grabbed the collar and gave it a good sniff. ‘Why is there perfume on this? And it's a familiar scent.”

Within a second, an idea flitted across his mind. ‘Don't tell me these are Nicole's clothes”

He drew another whiff of the scent, and it was then that he realized that it really was the one which Nicole would usually wear on her person.

Then, Harvey looked into the mirror carefully. "No wonder these clothes are small and stretchy. They must be Nicole's."

Nicole has a curvy figure, and so, tight clothes fitted her the most, as they would accentuate her figure.

After clearing his doubts, a shocked expression appeared on Harvey's face. ‘She allowed me to wear her clothes. Does this mean something?’

Harvey's imagination began to run wild as he stood in front of the mirror. Without knowing it, he had been in the room for a long while.

Meanwhile, Nicole noticed that he had not exited the room for quite a long time. She was worried that Harvey had collapsed in there, and so, she quickly went in with Tia to check on him.

As soon as they entered the room, Nicole found Harvey admiring himself in front of the mirror. Little did she know that Harvey was actually admiring her clothes.
