Ch. 1301..1305: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1301-1305

Chapter 1301

As soon as their eyes met, the atmosphere became tense with awkwardness.

“I didn't see anything,” Tia said, after which she hurried out.

‘Harvey, what the hell are you doing?" Nicole looked at him in disbelief and asked.

“I...” Harvey did not know how to explain himself as he thought, ‘I couldn't say that I was busy admiring her clothes, now can I? That would be too vulgar.’

“I'm looking at these clothes and they seem to be a little small,” Harvey said as he immediately eased into the subject of clothes.

Nicole looked at the clothes she had picked out for Harvey at once.

She wanted to laugh at and ridicule him, but instead of doing so, she said, am The clothes do look a little bit small, but they suit you.”

“You think this suits me?" Harvey eyed Nicole with a skittish expression on his face and asked her to take a closer look.

"Yeah, take a look for yourself. It showcases your figure perfectly, don't you think?” Nicole praised as she looked at Harvey in the mirror.

"Yeah, it really is good. The garments should accentuate your hourglass figure to the fullest, right?” Harvey said in a charming tone of voice beside Nicole.

It was then that Nicole felt her heart tightening and thought, 'He noticed? It's probably nothing, right? Can I explain myself?’

"Harvey, let me explain.’ Nicole turned to look at him, and so did he.

The two of them were already next to each other, but as soon as they whirled around, their noses touched.

The instant their eyes met, sparks flew, and the both of them froze in place.

Harvey swallowed. 'This feeling is so wonderful. My heart is thumping like crazy, and there are butterflies in my stomach."

Nicole's breathing slowed as she gasped, and her mind went blank.

After a short while, Nicole was the first to snap out of it. She shoved

Harvey away and ran outside. Harvey got out of his stupor when Nicole pushed him, but he did not chase after her at once. He was still in a daze because of his short-lived happiness.

Nicole blushed and entered the living room before sitting down.

Looking at Nicole, Tia noticed that she was acting rather strangely and asked, "Miss Riddle, why is your face so red?"

Nicole unconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek, which felt as though they were burning.

"I'm fine. I'm just going to head upstairs.” Nicole hurried out of the living room and made her way upstairs.

"Miss Riddle, do you want me to call a doctor for you?" Tia asked.

“No. I'll be fine after a while!” Nicole loudly replied before disappearing at the top of the stairwell.

“Okay.” Tia uttered.

At around the same time, Harvey was coming out of the bathroom. He was avoiding eye contact and had a strange expression on his face as well.

Looking at Tia, he asked, “Where's Nicole?”

“Oh, Miss Riddle’s face was flushed. She seems a little unwell. She went upstairs to catch some rest.’ Tia told him.

“Mr. Ellison, are these clothes...comfortable?” Tia looked at him, embarrassed.

“It's alright." Harvey forced out a smile.

“Hang in there. Your clothes will be ready to wear soon,” she said.

“Alright. I apologize for all the trouble,” he replied.

 

Chapter 1302

"Have a seat in the living room, Mrs. Wallace Sr. is waiting for you there.” Tia looked at Harvey and said.

"Okay. I'll go and talk to Mrs. Wallace Sr.," he said, after which he unconsciously glanced up at the flight of stairs.

"Harvey, did you get hurt from the fall earlier?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked Harvey when she saw Harvey approaching her.

"No." Harvey flashed her a slight smile.

"I think this dress kind of suits you, it's just that it's a little small. Fret not, there aren't any outsiders here." Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at him and assured.

Harvey nodded and narrowed his eyes. 'How did Mrs. Wallace Sr. know that the clothes belonged to Nicole?’

He was embarrassed, and thus, he did not dare to ask any more questions.

In the bedroom, Nicole had thrown herself on her bed, burying herself under her quilt. She was still thinking about everything that had happened in the bathroom.

‘What is wrong with me?’ she thought. 'Why do I keep thinking about the moment our noses met?’

Suddenly Jared's appearance flitted across her mind, and a surge of guilt made its way into her heart at once. What is wrong with me? I didn't do anything wrong, but why do I feel this way?’

Nicole sat up from her bed, irritated. “It's all his fault. If he hadn't come, none of this would have happened, and I wouldn't have made a fool of myself. Ah! This is so messed up"

Nicole laid down on her back again, her eyes staring straight at the ceiling. All of a sudden, Harvey's face appeared on her ceiling.

Petrified, she shut her eyes tightly and mumbled to herself, “Stop thinking about him!"

Out of the blue, she heard a knock on the bedroom door.

Nicole immediately sat up with her eyes on the door and asked, “Who's it?”

"It's me. Tia told me you weren't feeling well so I've come to check on you. Are you okay?” Harvey asked as he stood outside of her bedroom door.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Go and accompany grandma,” Nicole urged, not wanting to see him now.

"You better open the door and let me take a look, or else Mrs. Wallace Sr. will be worried about you.' Harvey said, refusing to leave, while issuing her a threat in the name of her grandmother.

Nicole sighed. ‘This is so troublesome.’

Then she got up, walked up to the door, and opened it. "See. I'm fine."

After leaving it open for less than a second, she was about to close the door when she realized that Harvey was blocking the way.

He looked at Nicole's still rosy cheeks and said, ‘Since you said you're fine. Why don't you come downstairs and have a seat with US?"

“I'm tired. I want to get some sleep. You guys can continue chatting.” Nicole finished, and was about to close the door again, just to realize that Harvey had blocked it again.

"What on earth are you doing?” Nicole looked at him and asked.

"Earlier..." Harvey was about to explain himself when Nicole interrupted him.

"It was just a coincidence. Don't think too much about it. Once your clothes are dry, put them on and leave.” Nicole looked at him, her eyes glinting with impatience.

"This dress...”

"You can just throw it away,” she said. "] don't need it anymore.”

"Anything else?" Nicole stared him down.

Harvey sensed that Nicole did not want to see him right now.

He took a long look at her, after which he said, "Nothing. Have a good rest.’ Then he turned around and made his way downstairs. Nicole heaved a sigh of relief and closed her

bedroom door gently, before walking back to her bed.

"Was I being too dramatic?’ she asked herself. ‘After all, nothing really happened. It shouldn't have been this embarrassing."

Harvey went downstairs and was greeted by Tia who was holding his clothes in her hands.

"Mr. Ellison, your clothes are dry." Tia handed them to him.

"Thank you.” Harvey took the clothes from Tia, turned around, and walked into the changing room.

 

Chapter 1303

After a while. Harvey came out of the changing room and walked into the living room, where he looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. and said, Mrs. Wallace Sr., I suddenly remembered that there's something I need to deal with. I will pay you a visit on another day."

Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Harvey and upon noticing that he was behaving in a completely different manner than earlier, she thought, 'He must really have something urgent to deal with.’

"Hurry up. Don't let me keep you around for too long," Mrs. Wallace Sr. said hurriedly.

"Goodbye. Mrs. Wallace Sr." Harvey gave her a slight nod.

After he was done speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Sea View Villa. Harvey sat in his car and gave Nicole's bedroom one last glance before igniting his engine and driving off toward his place of residence.

After driving for a while. Harvey felt that the atmosphere in his car was rather depressing, so he reached out for his phone and played the list of songs that was compiled by Nicole. In an instant. all that had happened earlier came surging back in his mind.

"She gave me her own clothes, but why did she act like she hated me when I went upstairs to look for her? Am I thinking too much? But wait. She was bright red, so she was obviously just shy. wasn't she? Is this just another show of a woman's unpredictable nature?’

While he was pondering about this, he firmed his grip on the steering wheel. ‘Yeah. It must be, or else she wouldn't have turned bright red and avoided eye contact.’ Harvey confirmed his thoughts once more, and that was when his mood suddenly became clear again.

In the evening, Jared drove to the Sea View Villa, where he pushed the door open and walked in. There, he saw Tia watching TV with Mrs. Wallace Sr. in the living room.

As soon as Mrs. Wallace Sr. heard someone walking in, she turned to look at the door, and that was when Jared's figure appeared.

"Jared! What brings you here?" Tia happily stood up to welcome Jared.

Jared nodded in response, his eyes ranging over the living room, but Nicole was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Nicole?" he asked.

"Miss Riddle is having a rest upstairs,” Tia replied.

"What's wrong with her?" Jared looked at Tia and asked.

"It's nothing. I think that Miss Riddle is feeling a little bit under the weather. I offered to call her a doctor, but she said she didn't need it."

"Under the weather?’ Jared narrowed his eyes. "I'm going to go take a look."

Jared and Mrs. Wallace Sr. both greeted each other briefly, after which he made his way upstairs to Nicole's room. He raised his hand to knock on her door as soon as he arrived.

Nicole was sleeping on her bed when she was suddenly jolted awake by a knock on the door.

"Tia, I don't want to eat dinner,” Nicole said.

The knocking on her door did not stop after she had spoken.

Instead, Jared's calm and caring voice said. "Why won't you have dinner? Is something wrong?"

Nicole was already half awake, but when she heard Jared's voice, she instantly woke up. ‘Jared? Why is he here?’

She sat up in a panic before making her way to the door to open it. ‘It really is him!"

"You. Why are you here?" Nicole asked Jared in surprise.

"I came after I got off work. What's the matter with you? Why don't you want to eat dinner?" Jared looked at Nicole in concern.

Then, he lifted his arm and felt her forehead with the back of his hand. whereupon he noticed that she was not ill.

"It's nothing.’ Nicole took his hand away and walked over to her bed to sit on it. "I'm not sick or anything.”

"I just don't feel like eating. That's all," Nicole murmured.

Chapter 1304

Jared followed Nicole into her bedroom and sat down on her bed.

He looked into her eyes and asked, “Although your forehead isn’t hot, I must ask, why is your face flushed?”

Nicole suddenly felt a pang of guilt and turned away, not daring to make eye contact with Jared, “No. it could be because I just woke up.”

“Really?” Jared looked at her with a brow raised when he saw her avoiding eye contact.

Nicole. who was a little flustered. began to ponder, ‘Did he find out? Or did Tia tell him something?”

Jared walked over, stood in front of Nicole, and looked at her. "What's with that look?

‘Why do I think she’s afraid to look at me?’ Jared thought to himself.

“What? I just woke up, my brain isn't functioning properly yet,” Nicole explained in a hurry.

“Really? You seem to be acting a little weird to me.” Jared furrowed his brows and looked at Nicole.

"No, you're thinking too much." Nicole covered it up with a smile.

"Is grandma downstairs?" Nicole quickly changed the topic.

"Well, Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Tia were watching TV downstairs when I came.”

"Oh. Right. Let's go downstairs and find grandma,” Nicole said as she got up and made her way downstairs.

Jared looked at her bedroom, and as everything seemed normal, he closed the bedroom door and followed her to the living room.

In the living room, Nicole was sitting next to Mrs. Wallace Sr., and appeared to be whispering something in her ear. As soon as she saw Jared walking toward them, she quickly sat straight up and pretended as if she was watching TV.

Jared had seen what she had just done, but he refrained from saying anything. Instead he went up to Nicole and sat next to her with a glance.

Then, he looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. with concern and asked, "Mrs. Wallace Sr., how have you been as of recent?"

Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at him and smiled. “I'm fine. You don’t have to worry about my health. I have been sleeping and eating well. I'm in good health."

"That's good. It's a blessing that your body is still healthy." Jared responded with a smile.

Jared chatted with Mrs. Wallace Sr. for a while, after which he turned his gaze to Tia and asked, "Tia, did anything of interest happen as of recent?"

As per tradition, Tia would crack a few jokes whenever Jared visited, and so, she looked at Jared with a smile and said, "Jared, it's a coincidence that you're here. Something very interesting thing happened today."

But before Tia could finish her sentence, she stopped, stifling the urge to break into a fit of laughter.

"Oh? What is it? Tell me.” Jared looked at her, waiting to hear the joke.

“Today, Mr. Harvey..." Tia was about to tell Jared, but before she could continue to say anything, she saw Nicole starring daggers into her, prompting her to stop and fall silent.

"Harvey Ellison?” Jared frowned, and continued to query Tia after he had captured bits and pieces of information.

Tia looked at Jared with a nervous smile and said, “Jared. the grapes today are very sweet. I'll go and get you some.”

After she had uttered the last word. she rushed out of the living room.

Jared looked at Tia's figure as she hurried away. and found that her conduct was rather strange

Then, he turned his gaze to Nicole and asked, “Was Harvey here today?”

Nicole composed herself before turning to look at Jared and responding,” No, why would he come here?”

As she spoke. her expression conveyed a look that a situation like that would never happen.

“Really?” Jared raised his eyebrows and looked at Nicole

“Of course! Why would he come anyway?” Nicole looked at him. unsmiling and solemn

In spite of the charade. Jared noticed that Nicole had no intention of telling him the truth. and with Mrs. Wallace Sr. nearby, he did not press on any further.

‘l find a way to ask her about it later after we return to the villa.” he thought.

Chapter 1305

Jared looked at Nicole, and with a relaxed tone of voice, he said. "Since you don't plan to eat dinner here. let's head home and not bother Mrs. Wallace Sr.”

"Huh?" Nicole retained her senses.

Jared looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. with a smile and said, “Mrs. Wallace Sr. Nicole doesn't plan to have dinner here so well go head back first.”

"Skipping dinner? How can I easily allow this to happen?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole worriedly.

‘Don't worry. I'll make whatever she wants to eat when we reach home later." Jared dispelled Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s worries in a single sentence.

‘Alright. Be safe on the way back." Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at them and urged.

"Okay," he said.

Nicole was then dragged out of the Sea View Villa with Jared's large hands wrapped around her wrist. He helped fasten her seatbelt in the car, after which he ignited the engine and drove to his own villa.

Jared did not ask a single question on the way back, and neither did Nicole; the both of them sat quietly and looked out of the window. After arriving at the villa, Nicole made a beeline to the upper floor without looking back, whereas Jared was taking his coat off when he saw Nicole heading upstairs.

Jared turned around and made his way into the kitchen, and after a while, he walked into the dining room with two dishes in hand. He noticed Nicole had not come down, and so, he headed upstairs, where he noticed that her door was closed. He pushed the door open and walked in directly.

Nicole was huddled up in her quilt, and so, she did not notice anyone walking in,

Jared walked over, lifted her quilt, and said, ’ Dinner is ready. Let's go downstairs and eat."

Nicole's looked at him in shock with her large eyes, and thought, 'He just came up here to get me to have a meal without asking me? And he even made dinner? What is he up to?’

Nicole cautiously eyed Jared, a gesture which he responded to in kind before speaking up, "What are you still doing here? The food will get cold, or would you like me to heat it up for you again?"

"Ok." Nicole quickly got out of bed and followed Jared into the dining room.

As usual, Jared sliced the steak up for her and placed it in front of her. However, Nicole did not grab her utensils right away.

Instead, she looked at Jared with her pair of big eyes and pondered, ‘There were no questions, no temper tantrums. Dinner was cooked, and the steak was cut. Everything seems natural and normal. Could it be the calm before the storm?’

"What are you looking at me for? You have not eaten yet. Is there food on my face?” Jared said jokingly.

It was only then that Nicole grabbed her utensils and began to eat. The atmosphere in the dining room, however, made Nicole feel as though there was a palpable tension with no apparent source.

Unable to withstand the torture any longer, she drew a deep breath before putting her utensils down to look at Jared and say, ‘Say whatever it is you want to say.”

Then, she braced herself, prepared to tell him the truth.

Jared ignored her and ate his steak.

Nicole frowned at him and thought, ‘What does he mean? Not speaking?’ Nicole became inexplicably more anxious.

"Jared, are you going to ask me or not? I am giving you one last chance.” It was only then Jared looked up at her and said, "You asked for it."
