Ch. 2061..2065: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2061-2065

Chapter 2061

After making up her mind, Nicole got up and headed downstairs. Soon, she reached the lobby.

"Nicole!" Lulu and June waved their hands enthusiastically when they spotted Nicole.

"Lulu! June!" When she reached the girls, Nicole smiled. "Since it's lunch time, let's have lunch together."

"Sure! We were thinking of treating you to a meal too." It was an opportunity for them to get together as well. It had been five years. There had not been any news about Nicole for five years and the girls were worried sick.

Nicole brought them to a restaurant near the office building. They found a table somewhat hidden from view and sat down.

After they had ordered, Lulu asked impatiently, "Nicole, what have you been through in the past five years? Why didn't you return for so long?"

"I ran into some problems." Nicole thought twice and still decided not to tell Lulu and June the truth.

Nicole did not know how to break the news to the two girls. She was not sure if they could accept the things which she would say. Therefore, she decided to keep it a secret.

"What kind of problem?" June could tell that Nicole was struggling to say what she wanted. So, June lowered her volume a little.

"The Riddle family had always been saying that you were in danger, so Jared hid you to protect you." Lulu speculated based on the clues she knew. Then, she seemed to recall something. There was a huge change to her expression. "You met a bad guy!"

On top of that, it must be one that was difficult to deal with. Otherwise, why would Nicole hide for five years and only decide to return now?

"You could say so." Nicole followed suit and agreed to Lulu's guess. Although it did not really fit the exact situation, the cause was similar.

"Then, are you safe now?" Lulu scanned their surroundings subconsciously, as if there could be bad people around them.

Nicole could not help but laugh at the way Lulu was acting. Nicole reassured her, "Yeah, I'm safe now."

Although Nicole still had enemies at San Joto, she still considered herself safe at that moment.

"That's great." Lulu heaved an obvious sigh of relief.

June's pale face also regained some color. She could not help but remind Nicole, "Although it might seem like everything is fine at the moment, prevention is better than cure. It's best for you to be careful whenever you're out."

"Don't worry. I can take care of myself," Nicole replied happily. Deep down, she felt touched. Although she could not remember them, they gave her a sense of kindness and comfort.

Soon, the food was served. All three of them began to enjoy their food while chatting.

After Nicole had briefly talked about her own problems, she began to ask about Lulu and June's updates.

"June's doing alright. I'm the unlucky one." Lulu complained to Nicole all about her challenges at work and her miserable life at the moment.

"Don't bother. I've already advised her to quit her job and develop elsewhere a long time ago. But she doesn't listen. And now, she's complaining that she's being bullied by her manager," June said while shaking her head.

"It's easy for you to say! It isn't easy to find such a high-paying job." Lulu sighed. She wanted to switch jobs too, but there was no way she could quit just like that.

"You want to switch jobs?" Nicole raised her eyebrow slightly as she questioned Lulu.

Lulu sighed, rested her head on the table and said, "It's easy to talk about it, but it's difficult to put it into action. After all, reality is too harsh."

"If your life is so miserable, doesn't my brother care about that?" Nicole frowned. 'That's too much!'

The expression on Lulu's face changed instantly, and she warned Nicole in a stern voice, "You can't tell Spencer!"

Lulu was too embarrassed to talk about such things. Spencer was already a professional violinist, and yet Lulu had not achieved anything. Therefore, she wanted to make herself into someone worthy of Spencer through her own efforts.

 

Chapter 2062

Hearing this, Nicole seemed to have a thought. She asked Lulu, "If you really want to switch jobs, would you be willing to jump ship and work for our company?"

"Riddle Corporation?" Lulu was so stunned that her mouth gaped wide open. This was something she dared not even dream of.

"If you want, you can report to work at our office on Monday. But if you don't want to, I won't force you either. You can make this decision yourself." Nicole shrugged her shoulders and spoke calmly.

"Alright, I'll think about it carefully," Lulu answered solemnly.

June rolled her eyes at Lulu in annoyance. "You're only thinking about it?"

The Riddle Corporation was not a company where anyone could just join. Now that Nicole had given the invitation, Lulu should have just accepted it. She was actually going to think about it first?

Lulu scratched her head awkwardly. "I just thought of going through some professional books later when I head back. If I see any potential in this, then I'll go for it. Otherwise, I won't take it on. At the end of the day, I can't tarnish Nicole's name, right?"

It turns out that Lulu did have a plan. Nicole could not help but laugh out loud, and she shook her head. "Don't be nervous or put so much pressure on yourself. I believe you can do it."

"That's right. I think you've lost your self-confidence because of that bald manager's grooming. When you get back later, throw a resignation letter to him and tell him that you're leaving. That way, you won't have to see that ugly face anymore." June patted Lulu's shoulder and persuaded her.

"Hahaha! Okay, I'll take your advice," Lulu agreed immediately.

"You should've done so long ago," June spoke as if she exasperated. Then, she turned to Nicole and said, "You have no idea about this but ever since she graduated, she found this job and had compromised herself for it."

"Hehe," Lulu laughed innocently.

"She must have her own considerations. The impact reality has on us will always force us to succumb to certain things." Nicole's gaze was calm, but her words carried a strong meaning.

"I remember the time when we were still in school. That was such a wonderful time," June said sentimentally.

She understood what Nicole meant. The years after their graduation, everyone had been going through a lot of things. But they were growing a lot as well.

At the mention of their schooling days, Nicole could only smile and listen. After all, she could not remember anything. But by how excited June and Lulu's conversation was when they talked about interesting things from the past, Nicole's smile became wider.

Even after they had finished lunch, they were not done with their conversations yet.

"I have to get back now, but I really hate to leave the both of you," Lulu said while tugging Nicole reluctantly.

"Soon you'd be able to follow Nicole daily," June said jokingly.

Lulu regained her spirits instantly. "That's true. I'll resign when I head back."

"Let's go."

The three girls left the restaurant and went their own ways.

June went back to her office and continued to work. Lulu was in high spirits to resign. Nicole was the only one heading back to the office calmly.

Although her expression was stern, there were hints of excitement in her eyes. She might not remember her best friends, but the feeling she felt while they were together could not be a lie. Nicole was already looking forward to Lulu joining her.

Time flew by quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was already the weekend.

Previously, Lana had made a deal with Nicole and Jared to hangout during the weekend. Lana was already anticipating it earlier on. Finally, the time had arrived, and she woke up early in the morning.

"Daddy, mommy! It's the weekend!" Lana ran into Nicole and Jared's room. Then, she climbed onto their bed with her tiny legs and sandwiched herself between Nicole and Jared.

Chapter 2063

It was still early. Nicole was a little reluctant when she was woken up by her daughter. "Lana, it's too early."

This little one would stay in bed when she had to go to school, but she could wake up this early during the weekends.

"But I'm so excited that I can't sleep anymore!" Lana did not feel any sense of guilt. In fact, she was determined.

Jared got up and carried Lana up. "Alright, I'll help you get ready. We'll let mommy sleep for a bit more. Is that okay?"

"Okay," Lana agreed happily. She was extremely satisfied.

Nicole's lips twitched. 'This little one did not come here for me at all.'

However, Nicole really did not have a good sleep, and it was too early in the morning. After Jared had carried Lana out of the room, Nicole pulled the blanket over herself and continued sleeping.

When Nicole woke up once again, she found the two little ones staring at her while resting their chins in their palms.

Nicole was instantly tickled with joy by that sight. She could not help it and said, "When did you guys get here?"

"We've been waiting for you for a long time, mommy." Lana pouted and said, "Mommy, the sun is asking you to wake up. Hurry, get up!"

Nicole was stunned. Those were the words which she usually said to Lana, and now, this little one used it on her.

Nicole sat up and peeked at the time. It was already nine o'clock. She definitely slept for a little too long.

"Where's daddy?" While getting out of bed, Nicole casually questioned them. She remembered that Jared had brought Lana out of the room and helped her get ready earlier.

The only thing was that Nicole did not realize how natural her tone and expression was when she asked that question. It was as if the four of them had been living together as a family for a long time.

"Daddy's downstairs. He only allowed us to stay here when we promised not to wake you up." Lana blinked her eyes playfully and smiled. "Daddy really cares about you, mommy. You really picked a good deal when fishing."

Being teased by the little one, Nicole blushed and chased them out. "The both of you can wait downstairs first. I'll be there with all of you soon."

"Okay, mommy. Please be quick!" Lana ran out happily.

Nolan glanced and hesitated for a moment. Then, he followed Lana out.

After Nicole had washed up and changed, she headed downstairs. Everyone else in the house had gone out. Gloria, Daniel, and Jared were the only ones left, watching over the two kids.

"You should eat something before we head out." Jared got up and ushered Nicole to the dining room.

Soon, the maids served breakfast. After Nicole finished eating, she went to the living room.

"Mom, dad, since the both of you are free today, why don't the both of you join us?" Nicole suggested.

"You guys go ahead. We'll pass." Gloria smiled. This was a good opportunity for Jared and Nicole to bond. She was hoping that the two of them would develop feelings for each other again. The wedding

had been postponed for five years. Gloria was already impatient.

"Alright then." Nicole seemed a little uneasy as she understood the meaning behind Gloria's smile. She knew that Gloria and Daniel would not join them no matter what, so she could only resign herself to it.

Soon, Jared and Nicole brought the two little kids out of the house.

"Where are we going?" asked Nicole.

Jared was the one who planned the agenda. She was unaware of the details.

"We're going for a picnic," he replied.

"'Yeah! Daddy and I had prepared a lot of yummy food," Lana said with a wide smile on her face.

Because she was too excited and had woken up really early, she and Jared had a lot of time to prepare everything.

"You prepared these?" Nicole was a little shocked. Afterall, this little one was still very young.

"Yeah!" Lana nodded vigorously.

Then, Nicole patted Lana's head happily. "Lana is such a grown up now. She can prepare her own meal now."

Chapter 2064

"I did it with daddy too!" Lana was very happy to be praised. She hugged Jared's arm to emphasize that point. She seemed to be waiting for Nicole to praise Jared as well.

Nicole was laughing while covering her face. She could only utter a word of gratitude. "Thank you."

She really did not know what to praise Jared for. It seemed no matter what she said, it would seem weird.

"It's my job. You're welcome." Jared looked at Nicole and gave a devilish smile.

Nicole rolled her eyes at Jared. 'Can't this guy speak normally?'

Lana covered her mouth and giggled. She secretly sneaked a wink to Jared. It was as if she was saying, 'Go, daddy, go!'

Jared looked at Lana lovingly. Then, he lifted his hand and patted Lana on the head.

Nolan could not help but roll his eyes at Lana. He crossed his arms in front of his chest with an angry look on his face, as if he was a little adult.

Unsatisfied, Lana looked at Nolan and raised her chin at him. After that, she proceeded to hug Jared's arm tighter.

Nicole was a little speechless upon witnessing the interaction between the two kids. However, Jared curled his lips and smiled. Lana was cute, and Nolan's actions did not anger him at all. Jared knew that one day, Nolan would accept him.

The car came to a halt. They had reached their picnic spot.

Although the plan was to have an outdoor activity, Jared did not bring them to a desolate place out of town. In fact, he chose a park in the suburbs. The park he chose featured nature. All the scenery consisted of natural wildlife, and it made them feel like they were in paradise.

"It's so beautiful here!" Lana fell in love with that place at first sight. There were mountains, rivers, fields, and waterfalls. That view would make anyone desire to be in that place.

"It's beautiful indeed." Nicole also liked the place a lot.

Jared curled his lips and smiled. "It's good that you like it."

This was a place which Jared had specifically chosen. He knew that Nicole would love it.

"Nicole." Just as they were about to walk around and admire the scenery, a familiar voice sounded.

Jared turned around to look and found Lawrence approaching them. A cold look flashed across Jared's eyes. If someone were to tell him that this was a coincidence, Jared would not have believed it.

But how did Lawrence know that Jared was going to bring Nicole to this place? Jared had never told anyone about it before.

Nicole was a little shocked as well. She could not help but frown and questioned doubtfully, "Why are you here?"

"I guess it's fate." Lawrence knew that no one would believe him if he said that it was a coincidence. Therefore, he chose to give an inconclusive reply.

Hearing this, Nicole seemed to have thought of something. She turned to look at Nolan.

Nolan seemed to be avoiding Nicole's gaze, so he quickly looked down.

Nicole instantly came to a realization. The reason Lawrence could follow her all the way there and appear at such a time was because Nolan had switched on Nicole's location tracking on her phone. So, Lawrence could track her.

Looking at Nicole and Nolan, Jared also understood it.

'This little brat… Were we enemies in our past life? Is that why he's here to destroy all of my good things?'

"Mr. Lawrence, are you hanging out at this place alone?" Jared purposely questioned as if he did not notice anything.

Lawrence understood the implicit meaning behind Jared's question, so he replied straightforwardly, "I was. But since I've bumped into them, I'm thinking of hanging out with them."

Knowing that Lawrence was referring to Nicole and the kids, Jared nodded. "That's a good idea. Then, let's go together."

Lawrence was taken aback by the reply. Nicole was also surprised. 'He actually agreed to it so quickly?'

 

Chapter 2065

"Go get the bag." Jared held Nicole's hand and took the bag they had prepared out of the car. He then walked toward the garden with Nicole.

"Since you want to spend time with the kids, I'm going to leave them in your hands." Jared walked past Lawrence and left him this remark before leaving with Nicole.

Lawrence immediately turned into stone. 'So he became a nice guy because he wanted me to look after the kids?!'

Nicole also realized this and could not help but look at Jared. "Jared, you're the father of Nolan and Lana," she whispered.

'Is it really okay to leave the responsibility to Lawrence like this?'

"He is also their Godpa," Jared said nonchalantly. Besides, Lawrence said that he would accompany the children as well.

Jared casually left out Lawrence's mention of "them", which, most importantly, included Nicole.

"Jared, I never knew you were so petty," Nicole said. She was rather speechless as she shot him a disdainful look.

"Actually, I've always been petty, you just don't remember," Jared whispered in her ear in a low voice.

Due to his slightly seductive tone, Nicole's cheek turned pink. His dominance had made her heart pound uncontrollably.

Lawrence's gaze darkened as he watched their interaction before his eyes. Though he knew that Jared was doing it on purpose, he could not refute it.

"Let's go, Godpa," Nolan pulled Lawrence, wanting to catch up with Jared and Nicole.

He secretly informed his Godpa to come over as he could not miss the opportunity to give his Godpa the chance to win his mother over.

"I'm coming too." Lana followed them as she knew what was going on. Of course, Lana would not disappoint her father.

The group entered the park with their own thoughts.

Jared and Nicole walked ahead, completely immersed in the joy of sightseeing. Nicole felt a bit resentful as she found it awkward. 'We should all be together as a family and not just leave our kids behind with Lawrence.'

On the other hand, Nolan was pulling Lawrence with him, trying to catch up with Jared and Nicole. Meanwhile, Lana was playing around and stopping from time to time, making it impossible for them to walk faster. Nolan and Lawrence could not leave Lana behind, so they had to slow down for her.

All five of them had extremely good looks and the dynamic between them was rather strange, which caused passersby to glance back a few times.

When they were finally tired, Jared took Nicole to rest in a small pavilion.

Lawrence and the children finally caught up with them. His eyes darkened when he saw Jared's indifferent gaze. In fact, he even regretted it a little. He wondered if he should even be out here today. 'Not only did my original plan fail, but I also had to watch them being so affectionate with each other!' Lawrence was not having it at all.

'Is it true that Jared is someone that you can't offend? Because it really seems like it.'

However, Lawrence looked at Nicole and thought, 'But there are certain things that could not be easily put to an end once it started.'

Nicole happened to look up and saw the complicated look in his eyes. She could not help but bite her lip and say, "You can go back first, Lawrence."

She felt that it was strange to ask Lawrence to take care of their children, and she did not want to burden him any further.

"It's okay. Today is a weekend. Mr. Lawrence shouldn't have anything else to do," Jared said as he was rather satisfied with how he was manipulating everyone.

Nicole rolled her eyes at him, signaling him to stop talking. Although Lawrence was there for a reason, he still was not free labor. All she had to do was to reject Lawrence clearly. There was no need to put him through this, and she felt uncomfortable with him following them too.
