Ch. 1961..1965: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1961-1965

Chapter 1961

'What a jerk! I knew nothing good was going to happen if I shared a room with him! Still, I did not expect him to be so aggressive!'

She did not believe that Jared would do anything to her in her own house. And despite the look of resistance on Nicole's face, Jared still looked at her affectionately.

He then took a deep breath and said, "If I really wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't have waited until now."

He did not like Nicole being afraid of him.

Nicole calmed down a little, but she still angrily asked, "Why did you pin me down like this then?"

Jared's eyes were like a whirlpool, rearing to suck her in.

All of a sudden, he released her hands and hugged her tightly. He rested his chin on her shoulder and laid beside her. In a flash, their position switched to one where he embraced her.

Nicole's breath seemed to stop at that moment, and all she could smell was the faint fragrance of cologne lingering on his person.

'I'm going crazy. I've only met him a few times, but I think he.... smells amazing!' she thought.

Even though Nicole was shocked, she did not resist.

Jared then drew a deep breath as if he wanted to fully embrace Nicole's entire existence.

"You're finally back... It's been five years, and I've not stopped thinking about the feeling of hugging you," he said.

Indeed, he had really missed moments like these.

However, he never had the chance to clarify things with her or get close to her. novelebook.comBut today, Nicole finally got to learn about their relationship prior to her memory loss, and this made him feel a lot better.

The Jared that Nicole had seen in the past few days was always ruthless and scheming, but the current version of him seemed to be plagued by loneliness and longing.

Nicole felt sorry for him, but she pushed him away anyway. "Even though this might make you feel very bad... I really have no memories of us. What you're doing now is making me feel really uncomfortable."

Jared flashed a bitter smile after noticing the serious expression on Nicole's face.

Then, he slowly let go of her, "Okay. I promise that I won't touch you again tonight. You can sleep in peace."

For a moment, Nicole was not expecting things to go so smoothly at all.

"However, the condition is we have to share the blanket and sleep together." He smirked.

His words might have sounded perverted, but a triumphant smile appeared on his face like he was a little boy who had gotten away with something.

Nicole was left speechless at that moment, and with that, she allowed him to drape the blanket over them both.

To get the man's promise was of utmost importance, and she believed that Jared would be a man of his word. Still, Nicole did not take a shower, and above all, she did not have the courage to remove her clothes with him around. Overwhelmed by exhaustion, she fell asleep shortly after.

However, she did not know that Jared had been looking at her all the time. He did not dare to sleep at all, for he was afraid that he would lose her again once he closed his eyes.

As the night progressed, Nicole had a dream, one she had consistently been having for the past five years. There, she was surrounded by water, desperately dragging someone along in order to swim out of the cabin.

Finally, she saw daylight as she dragged the person onto the water's surface. Then, she placed him on a piece of debris. By that point, however, she was drained, and that was when she slowly sank back down into the depths.

The suffocating sensation woke her up, and suddenly, she saw a handsome face mere inches away from hers, taking her aback.

It had been five years and she had never managed to catch a clear look of that man in her dream. When she saw Jared's face, however, she realized that the shapes of their faces were perfectly identical.

'Could he be the man that I have been trying to save in my dream?' she asked herself. 'Was I not alone in that plane crash five years ago, but with him?!'

 

Chapter 1962

At that moment, Nicole could not concentrate, but she also noticed how close Jared was to her.

She stared at him in shock and realized that her arm was wrapped around his waist without her knowing that she was doing just that. Furthermore, Jared's arm was resting on her shoulder too!

"Damn it!" Nicole instinctively shoved Jared away.

Little did she know that Jared was already on the edge of the bed, and after she pushed him, he fell off onto the floor.

"Ugh!" Jared groaned, feeling disoriented after being woken up from a deep sleep.

He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Nicole. "What are you doing?!"

"I... I, You! Why did you come so close to me?" Nicole pointed at him and pointed back to herself as she stuttered.

With a look of defeat on his face, he replied, "Look closely. You were the one who crossed the line and hugged me first."

'This woman was sleeping like a kitten mere seconds ago. Look at her now, becoming all heartless once she was woken up. She had the nerve to shove me away after using me! How absurd!' he thought.

"How could I possibly do that?" Nicole asked in disbelief.

However, when she looked down, she realized that she had indeed occupied two-thirds of the bed.

'My goodness! Did I really hug him first last night? And gosh, I pushed him off the bed after I woke up! novelebook.comThat's sort of unacceptable,' she thought.

With that, she became so embarrassed that she covered her face and said, "I-I'm going to take a shower!"

Unable to stomach the feeling of shame anymore, she fled the scene.

Following the fall, Jared's waist ached as he stood up slowly. However, when he saw Nicole running away, he shook his head affectionately.

Out of all the people in the world, she was the only one who would dare treat him like that.

Soon after, it was breakfast time. Nicole and Jared awkwardly headed downstairs with each other, while the rest of the family were already at the table.

"Nicole, come over and have your breakfast." Gloria beckoned, looking a lot more energetic today..

Nicole walked over, and naturally, Jared sat beside her again.

And as usual, Nolan was not happy with that. "I want to sit with Mommy!"

He was about to stir the pot again when Gloria quickly stopped him. "Sure. Nolan, come here and sit between me and Mommy, okay?"

She was not going to let him squeeze her son-in-law away.

Nolan got upset when he heard that Gloria was offering to give her seat up instead of asking Jared to move.

Then, he said, "It's okay, grandma. Your legs are hurting, and you should avoid moving around too much."

Earlier, Nolan noticed that Gloria had trouble walking, and that someone had to help her down the flight of stairs earlier. And as he was a very sensible kid, he did not insist.

Now delighted, Jared continued to have his breakfast with Nicole.

They were done with their meal in short order, and that was when Daniel said, "I'm planning to go back to the family manor and tell your grandpa about this great news. However, the old man will probably want us to stay in the family manor at night to do something for Nicole. Please be prepared."

He shifted his gaze to Nicole as if to ask her opinion on that.

Nicole was surprised. She did not anticipate that she would meet her grandpa and other people after just reuniting with her parents yesterday. To her, it was a bit too much to process.

Then, Daniel sighed and continued before Nicole could respond. "Your grandpa fell sick last night, and earlier this year, he even became bedridden. However, he hasn't stopped thinking about you. I'm afraid that he'll pass away anytime now...and that too without knowing that you've returned."

Nicole was at a loss for words after hearing how sorrowful Daniel sounded.

She had no idea that her grandfather was in such a critical condition.

Chapter 1963

"Alright, I'll get ready then. I'll be heading there tonight." Nicole agreed.

"It's settled, then. Jared, please take care of Nicole," Gloria said, leaving it all to Jared, as she was not in the mood to worry about these things.

"Alright, I got it."

After all, it would be great for Nicole to attend family gatherings. Even if it was just a minor gathering, Jared would arrange the outfits for her, as well as a slew of other things to be prepared.

However, Nicole looked doubtful. 'I'm just going home. What is there to prepare?'

At that moment, Sean said, "It's getting late. Mom and dad? I'll head to the office for work now."

"Alright." Gloria nodded.

Steve and the rest then took turns bidding their goodbyes before leaving for work.

Before he stepped out, Samuel said to Nolan, "Nolan, I am giving you permission to play my computer games when I'm not around. However, you must take good care of your eyes, alright?"

"I got it. Thank you, Uncle Samuel." Nolan nodded and smiled.

One could tell that Nolan was extremely fond of Samuel.

Hearing that, Nicole muttered, "You're too young to play games."

In response, Nolan snorted. "Video games are so lame. I prefer hacking..."

A look of bafflement appeared on Nicole's face at once. Sure enough, she could not speak to her kid the way she could other kids his age. There were times when Nicole would suspect that Nolan was a

teenager living in the body of a 5-year-old. His thinking was so much more mature than hers.

Now that Nicole's brothers had all left, Gloria watched as Nicole and Jared sipped on their coffee.

Then, she said, "Although Nicole has lost her memories, both of you had prepared a wedding reception five years ago.novelebook.com Everything had been prepared. Perhaps, the both of you should think of a suitable time and decide on the date."

Nicole had not returned after she left the house five years ago.

Because of that incident, Gloria had since been filled with regret. 'I should have held the wedding first. That way, I would not have felt sorry for anything.'

Now that Nicole had returned, Gloria wanted to make up for all the regrets from that year.

"Wedding?" Nicole asked, surprised.

'I've only known this man for a few days, and they're talking about marriage already? Okay, even if that decision had been made by him and the old me, I still find it hard to accept this reality,' she thought.

"About that...mum..." Nicole paused.

She was still not accustomed to calling Gloria mom, so those words came out of her mouth rather awkwardly.

Gloria immediately turned toward Nicole. "Nicole, what's wrong?"

Nicole looked at Gloria awkwardly, after which she mustered the courage to say, "Mom, I don't remember a lot of things from the past. I can't get married to him just like that. At least not before I regain my memories."

The recent events were all just too much for Nicole to take in. She did not know how to address any of the issues.

Gloria stared at Nicole. 'I'm well aware that Nicole has lost her memory, but to me, she is still my child. Still, I think I might have ignored Nicole's feelings.'

At that thought, Gloria tapped Nicole's hands, "I understand. You can take your time to recover your memories, but Jared. Well, Jared has been waiting for you for five years now."

While speaking, Gloria turned to look at Jared affectionately. "When you were gone for the last five years, your dad and I were totally devastated. All of your brothers were also distracted in their work and studies. But then, Jared took care of everything at home. He was always there, helping with a lot of things in our company. At that time, we were all in despair, and none of us thought that you would ever return. However, he has never given up on you. He never gave up on us either."

When Nicole heard this, she remained silent. She had been thinking that Jared was her creditor, a demon, and a villain of sorts. She had never expected him to have done so much for her over the past five years.

At that moment, Nicole felt conflicted. 'It's true. For a man who is so close to perfection, he actually stayed single and waited for me for five years. Relationships like these are rare.'

Chapter 1964

But all of these things were too sudden for her.

"I understand. Mom, please give me a month's time. At least allow me and my kid to adjust to life here. And if I decide to settle down here, I'll have to bring Lana over as well."

Gloria nodded. "That's right, I've only seen my grandson, not my granddaughter yet. So, when are you going to bring her over?"

Nicole noticed how excited Gloria was. Although their misunderstanding had been resolved, and that the demon in the form of Jared would not restrict her movements anymore, Nicole had not decided whether to migrate here in such a hurry or not

After all, Leo had once mentioned that he had rivals in this country. As such, she could not but wonder if that would invite trouble to the family.

Noticing that Nicole was silent, Jared butted in and said, "Mom, leave this to me. Within three days, Nicole and I will bring her back."

"Alright, we'll help the both of you by taking care of Nolan," Gloria immediately agreed.

Nicole could not help but widen her eyes. She had not uttered a word, and yet, the two had already made that decision for her.

But when Nicole looked at Gloria, she could only nod and agree. "Alright then."

Previously, Nicole had foolishly requested help from Leo. Now that she could return on her own, she would be able to explain things to Leo.

Gloria then began bugging Nicole about the citizenship of the little ones and school. Nicole had never thought this far yet, but after giving it some thought, she definitely would have to send her kids to a

good school if she decided to migrate.

After Gloria had gone upstairs, Jared noticed that Nicole was in a daze, and this prompted her to ask, "What's wrong?"

Nicole sighed. "So, this is how it feels to have parents by my side."

Previously, Nicole had to think on her own. As a first-time mother, she still lacked the wisdom and experiences in more areas than one.novelebook.com Thus, she had never thought about it, let alone planned anything for the long run..

"Adults naturally think more about the future of their kids."

Understanding what Nicole meant, Jared replied, "Don't worry, you can leave these things to me. As long as the kids can be brought over, I'll arrange their education."

Jared's gaze made Nicole a little shy. Even if Nicole could not talk things through with her parents, she should at least be able to communicate with Jared about her concerns.

"Jared? Although the adults are in a hurry, you know about my situation too. With the current state of our relationship, I really don't think I could ignore everything and just marry you in an instant," she explained.

Jared looked at Nicole. She had emphasized this before, and it seemed to him that this would impose upon her a sort of pressure she would not be able to deal with.

With a sigh, Jared approached her and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you regain your memory. I'll help you remember how much you used to love me."

That seductive voice caused Nicole to hold her breath. "I-I did not mean it that way."

"Well, what do you mean, then? You wish to separate from me and raise those two kids as a single mother?" he asked.

Jared's words left Nicole speechless. "I–"

'Which mother would ever want their kids to grow up without a father?'

"Or are you considering that person named 'Godpa'?" Jared's gaze turned dark and a grimace appeared on his face.

"Don't spout that kind of hogwash..."

While it was understandable that children would utter nonsensical propositions from time to time, there was no reason as to why Jared should do so.

"If that's not the case, then consider the first proposal." Jared's face relaxed a little.

"Since you've forgotten everything, we'll take baby steps and help you remember the past bit by bit." Jared's gaze became more and more affectionate as he looked at Nicole.

All of a sudden, Nicole felt relieved. She could tell that Jared's feelings for her were sincere. Furthermore, her parents also seemed to trust him. Thus, it did not matter whether Nicole did it for her kids or her parents. She was willing to open herself up to Jared and attempt to get along with him.

After all, she had just returned, and though she had only been around for a few days, she had already recover a few of her memories.

Perhaps, after some time, she might be able to recall something even more significant.

"All I can say is that I'll try. But what if I can't regain my memories?" Nicole looked at Jared solemnly.

 

Chapter 1965

Though Jared had noted Nicole's expression, he remained steadfast and resolute nonetheless. "If you can't regain your memory, I'll make you fall in love with me once more."

Jared's cocky words made Nicole's heart skip a beat, though she proceeded to roll her eyes at him at the very next second anyway. "What a narcissist."

Hearing that, Jared played along. "You can give it a try."

Nicole looked at him awkwardly, for she was itching to ask, 'What if I don't fall in love with you?'

Yet, those words remained unspoken in the end. Instead, she took a deep breath and made a decision.

"Alright, let's make a deal. In two months, if I can't regain my memory or fall in love with you, you can't interfere with my life anymore. Would you agree to it?" she asked.

Nicole was not the kind of person to flirt with others. She was also not the type to get married without a relationship built on a solid foundation. Therefore, she wanted to make things clear.

At that moment, Jared remained silent. This was because Jared had never had to think about such an option ever since he found Nicole.

Looking at the way Nicole was waiting for an answer, Jared hesitated. But then again, regardless of what and who he had to give up on, he would never be able to give up on Nicole.

"I can't do it. Even if you can't fall in love with me, I won't let go of you." Jared got up and left, unable to agree to the terms or answer her request.

Nicole stared at Jared from the back and sighed. Even though Jared had disagreed, Nicole had already made her decision. She believed that as time went by, Jared would understand and wish her well.

With that in mind, she forewent the thought of forcing an answer out of him. Instead, she went off to accompany her child.

In the afternoon, Jared brought her clothes over. After all, she would be meeting her relatives and friends when she returned home. Therefore, she could not be too casual in her dressing. However, it was not a banquet, so she could not be overdressed either.

Fortunately, Jared had prepared a simple and elegant blazer paired with a knee length skirt for Nicole. The whole fit looked clean and formal. And most importantly, Jared knew all of Nicole's body measurements.

"How did you know my measurements?" Nicole asked, suspecting that Gloria was the one who had told him.

In response, Jared laughed. "I've remembered your measurements since the first time we slept together."

As soon as those words left his mouth, Nicole felt so appalled that she quickly stepped forward to cover his mouth.novelebook.com "Why do you talk about everything so openly?"

Even though she was not sure if Jared was telling the truth or not, as she did not have any memories of the past, the remark still made her angry.

Jared put her hands down and signaled her to have a look at their surroundings. "The servants are not here. Mom and dad are already back at the family manor. What are you scared of?"

It was only then that Nicole heaved a sigh of relief. "But you can't simply talk about things like this!"

'Jared is so boorish. How could he simply blurt those words out willy-nilly?' she fumed.

Although Nicole could not recall their first time sleeping together, her face would blush as she attempted to summon the memory of it.

'What was I blinded by, to the point where I can share an intimate moment with such a guy?' she thought.

Jared noticed that her neck was flushing, and he could not help but tease her, "What are you thinking about?"

Jared's breath caressed the back of Nicole's neck, and he was so close that Nicole had to take a step forward. "Stay away from me!"

'This guy is so seductive. He's a dangerous one!' she thought.
