Ch. 2096..2100: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2096-2100
Chapter 2096
“Well, the current situation is still a little too much for Nicole to handle. It would have been better if she had recovered her memories,” Spencer sighed.
He felt that if Nicole had regained her memories first, these things would not be much of a challenge to her.
“Well, this… Ugh.” Everyone breathed a collective sigh.
Although they did hope that Nicole could regain her memories sooner than later, all of them understood that it was not easy. Otherwise, Nicole would not have gone for five years without recovering any of her memories.
“Dinner is ready,” the butler came over and said.
“Come on, Mom. Let’s eat first,”
Regardless of what happened, they still had to pull themselves together.
“Alright, let’s eat,” Gloria agreed.
She then looked at the two kids and said, Nolan, Lana? Do you want to eat some more?”
Both of them shook their heads together and replied, “No thanks, Grandma. We’ve eaten enough in kindergarten.”
“Alright then, you guys be good and watch TV. We are going to have our dinner,” Spencer admonished them.
Nolan and Lana nodded their heads and watched as the adults entered the dining room. Then, they lifted their heads and looked upstairs.
“Mommy isn’t really sick, is she?” Lana asked, feeling a little worried.
“She’s not. Mommy’s just tired,” Nolan comforted.
Still, Lana sniffled. “Those are bad guys! They are bullying Mommy!”
The two little ones had overheard the adults’ entire conversation and from that, they knew someone was bullying their mother. That was the reason as to why their mother was feeling so tired and unwell.
Nolan’s expression turned grim as well.
Then, he narrowed his brows, and said, “I’ll go upstairs first.”
“Me too,” Lana knew what Nolan intended to do as soon as that expression crossed his face, so she followed him upstairs.
Once they had entered their room, Nolan turned his computer on and began working on what he had planned out.
“Nolan, do you know who they are?” Lana asked.
She knew Nolan was going to seek revenge on behalf of Nicole, but it went without saying that he should at least have a target.
“I have no idea. But I can find out,” Nolan said confidently.
“Huh? How?” Lana knew that both Nolan and Nicole were very impressive in terms of their skills with the computer, but she could not understand what Nolan meant.
“Moments ago, Grandpa mentioned the names, Dillion and Damien. So I should start by checking Grandpa’s information, ” Nolan explained while his tiny hands rapidly darted across the keyboard.
Once they had discovered who Dillion and Damien were, everything would naturally fall into place.
After dinner, Gloria noticed Nolan and Lana’s absence and hurriedly went upstairs.
Seeing that the kids were in the room, she breathed a sigh of relief, “So you were upstairs all along?”
“Oh, yep. We felt that the TV programs were too boring, so we came upto play,” Nolan replied, making up a random excuse out of thin air.
“Well, aren’t you well-behaved? You know Mommy’s not feeling well, so you’re taking care of yourself,” Gloria expressed her relief.
She felt that the two kids were a little quiet today, although it astounded her that they did not need the adults to worry forthem.
“Grandma, you should get some rest too. We’ll go to sleep soon,” Nolan said.
He was at a very crucial moment of finding out who his adversaries were, and so, he wanted to continue his work.
“Don’t you want Grandma to tuck you in?” Gloria hesitated.
Although they were well-behaved, she doubted that they could sleep on their own.
“Grandma, I’m not sleepy yet. I want to play a little longer. I’ll sleep in a bit,” Nolan insisted.
He could not sleep now anyway, so there was no need for anyone to tuck him into bed. If anything, he was rather busy now.

“Grandma, I want to sleep. Why don’t you tuck me in?” Lana softly pleaded with Gloria, having understood what her brother was trying to do.
“Alright, Grandma will stay with you,” Gloria’s eyes wrinkled with a smile.
Lana had her ways of touching people’s hearts.
As Gloria led Lana away, the latter signaled Nolan with a glance, to which he nodded his head. Only then did she walk off with a smug sense of satisfaction. Although Lana could not understand what Nolan was doing, she knew he wanted to avenge their Mommy. That was enough for Lana, as the bad guys should be taught a lesson.
After Gloria had taken Lana away, Nolan continued typing away on his computer. Soon, he raised his chin in triumph and keyed one last line in. He then closed his computer in contentment, happy at the masterpiece he had created.
After giving himself a rinse, he climbed into bed, covered himself with a blanket, and slept.
Nicole, who knew nothing about anything, simply ate dinner and prepared herself for some good rest, with Jared joining her in finishing their meal. He waited for the maids to place all the tableware away, after which he followed Nicole to bed.
Jared saw Nicole’s complexion return to normal as he laid down, feeling relieved. “You don’t have to work so hard.
They can’t hurt you. They’re not capable of it.”
Nicole froze for a moment, carefully pondering about his statement before understanding that Jared was talking about Damien and Dillion. She also understood why Jared had assumed that her exhaustion was due to the issue of inheritance.
“I know,” Nicole bit her lips.
Deep down, she felt that there was no better candidate than Sean.
Jared reached out to embrace Nicole in his arms. “Since you’re aware of it, don’t bother about any unnecessary things in the future.”
Jared knew these jobs were not enough to make Nicole so stressed out. It was the people and the issues surrounding them that had affected her mood.
As she was being held by Jared, Nicole’s heartbeat quickened, and her breathing became sporadic.
“It’s really nothing. I was too focused on work this evening and forgot to rest,’ Nicole explained, trying to struggle out of Jared’s embrace.
She was simply unable to sleep in this position.
Jared saw through Nicole’s intentions and subtly tightened his embrace, ensuring it would not constrict her, or allow her to escape from his embrace.
Nicole noticed that the more she struggled, the tighter his embrace was. She rolled her eyes in frustration, thinking,’ This guy did it on purpose. But I don’t have enough strength to break free from his arms.’
Thus, she decisively chose to give up. Nicole could not afford to struggle anymore. The fact was that there was still some space between them now. If she continued to struggle, Jared’s embrace would only get tighter, and there would be little to no space left between them.
With a sigh of frustration, Nicole decided to cease moving. She closed her eyes and went to sleep. Unexpectedly, Nicole’s panicked heartbeat somehow calmed, and soon, she became drowsy and fell asleep.
Hearing Nicole’s even breathing as she was sound asleep, Jared’s gaze softened, and a slight smile appeared.
The sunlight rose, casting its rays through the curtains into the room. Feeling the glare of the lights through her eyelids, Nicole frowned and instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes. Then, she slowly opened them.
As the lights went through the gaps of her finger, Nicole’s momentary confusion faded, and she quickly returned to her senses.
“You’re awake,” Jared’s voice blared out, and Nicole turned to face him, her lips inadvertently brushing against Jared’s cheeks.
Jared’s pupils contracted abruptly, and his gaze darkened a little, exuding a vibe that hinted at danger. Instantly feeling the change in the aura around her, she rolled off the bed and hurried into the bathroom.
Watching Nicole’s fleeing figure, Jared shook his head lightly with a helpless smile.
Then, he wondered, ‘When will she get used to me? Do I really have to wait for her to regain all of her memories?”
In the bathroom, Nicole splashed her face with cold water a few times before becoming completely awake. She could not help but blush with embarrassment.
Deep within, she was thinking, ‘Nicole. Oh, Nicole. That was an accident. But that accident was just so embarrassing. Why can’t I just disappear on the spot?’
Chapter 2099
“Are you done?” Jared’s voice sounded out outside the bathroom door.
Hearing that, Nicole instantly tensed up and she stammered, “E-Em yes. I’m ready.”
After dawdling for a while, Nicole came out of the bathroom with the intention of leaving it for Jared. While he was at it, she would seize the opportunity to hurry downstairs.
However, to her surprise, she ran directly into a sturdy embrace and was forcefully kissed the instant she stepped out of the bathroom.
“Hmm…” Nicole was about to protest, but then, her delay in reaction gave Jared a chance to take control right away as his sense of rationality began to slip.
After a passionate kiss, Jared released Nicole with a satisfied smile. “Wait for me.”
With that, Jared went into the bathroom, leaving a dazed Nicole to snap back to reality and grit her teeth in frustration. “Jared!”
A low, soft laugh came from inside the bathroom, making Nicole even more frustrated and helpless.
“Mommy,” The room door opened, and Nolan and Lana poked their little heads in.
When Nicole saw the two cuties, her expression instantly changed, and she smiled, “You’re up already,”
“Yep, is Mommy ready too?” Lana asked as she opened the door and came in.
Holding Lana’s soft hands, Nicole said, “Let’s go downstairs.”
“What about Daddy?” Lana asked when she did not find Jared after looking around.
“He’s washing up. We can wait for him downstairs,” Nicole replied. She was still embarrassed about everything that had happened with Jared just now and wanted to leave the room as quickly as possible.
“Alright,” Lana answered and followed Nicole out of the room.
Noticing the unusual look on Nolan’s face, Nicole asked,” Nolan, what’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing,” Nolan responded without allowing his gaze to meet Nicole’s.
“Mommy, there’s really nothing going on. Let’s go down,” Lana butted in, helping Nolan to shift the focus away from the question. It was then that Nicole raised her eyebrows a little. It seemed to her that Nolan had done something with Lana’s knowledge. This surprised her a little, and she could not help but wonder what Nolan had done to gain Lana’s support.
The two children looked very guilty after Nicole had stared at them, almost as if they were going to surrender and reveal everything they had done.
“What are you doing?” Jared’s voice echoed through the room.
“Daddy!” Lana jumped into Jared’s embrace as if she found her savior.
With a loving gaze, Jared picked Lana up. “What are you talking about?”
Upon being asked that question by Jared, Lana instinctively glanced at Nolan, who found a random excuse to elude the conversation. “Let’s go downstairs and eat.”
Lana pouted her lip, but echoed Nolan’s words anyway. “Yep, we should eat.”
“Alright, let’s go then,” Jared trusted Lana’s word without any doubts and walked out, carrying her in his arms.
Nicole’s mouth twitched. ‘Why have I never realized how easy it is to deceive Jared? I could see that the two children were hiding something, but for some reason, Jared hasn’t noticed it.’
Chapter 2100
As she stared at Jared’s figure in the front, Nicole shook her head and thought, ‘Lana sure is daddy’s daughter. He might have noticed it, but he is choosing not to acknowledge it.’
“Okay,” Nicole uttered, deciding to drop the matter.
She figured that no matter how naughty Nolan was, he would never drag Lana along into something dangerous.
After they had gotten downstairs, the others slowly came down too.
“Mom, Dad.”
“Grandma, Grandpa.”
After greeting one another, Gloria could not help but ask,” You worked till it was so late yesterday. Why did you get up so early today?”
Gloria thought Nicole would have slept in until noon, not expecting her to be up this early.
“I heard about the company’s situation, so what’s going on?” Samuel asked, looking at Nicole with a mix of concern and guilt.
However, before he could finish what he was about to say, Nicole spoke first. “Don’t overthink it. Sean, Steve, and I can handle it.”
Nicole understood what Samuel wanted to ask. She was not in a good state yesterday, and everyone had assumed that it was due to the issues in the company. However, she could not reveal the true reason to anyone. Therefore, she had to rely on this excuse in order to allay their concerns.
“We are all worried about her, but I feel like the only help we can provide her is our support to her every decision. As for the others, we should just leave them. We are practically useless even if we were to show up at the company anyways,” Stanley advised.
They were not interested in managing the company, so it was better not to interfere.
“But even if we fetch and carry everything for her, it’s still our attitude,” Samuel said, feeling that if someone could take care of Nicole, perhaps she would not be so exhausted.
“Don’t worry, someone’s taking care of me,” Nicole said and looked at Spencer.
Feeling a little baffled, Spencer asked, “Are you talking about me?”
Indeed, if Nicole wanted him to go to the company, he would agree.
“It’s not you, but I think she can represent you.” Nicole raised her eyebrows.
“What?” Spencer was still confused, not understanding what Nicole was talking about.
“She’s talking about Lulu. She’s Nicole’s special assistant now.” Samuel laughed, causing everyone to rubberneck at him.
Spencer’s expression stiffened, and he frowned. “She went to Riddle Corporation?! How did you know?”
“June told me!” Samuel naturally replied.
Knowing that what Samuel said was not a lie, Spencer looked at Nicole, dumbfounded, and asked, “How did she do it?”
“Initially, I had arranged for her a position, but since she had gone to the HR Department and passed the interview, I just brought her over,” Nicole explained.
She had intended to let Lulu into her company, hoping that Lulu could aid her. However, she had not anticipated that Lulu would apply for a position and start from the bottom.
“As long as you’re satisfied with the situation,” Spencer frankly said.
As for what Nicole was planning, he did not further inquire. He trusted that Nicole had her own plans. However, he also felt that Nicole needed someone she could trust by her side. After all, no one could be around her constantly. Having Lulu assist her at work was a great choice for Nicole.
“Spencer, when are you going to bring her back and introduce her to our parents?” Nicole playfully asked.
Feeling a little nervous, Spencer tried to change the subject. “Erm. It’s getting late. We should eat first.”
“Just answer the question. Mom and Dad must be curious too,” Samuel joined in on the gossip.
Daniel and Gloria were in fact looking at Spencer with anxious looks on their faces, wanting to know if what everyone had said was true. They were rather curious to know if Spencer really did have a girlfriend. They had heard the siblings mention it occasionally before, but Spencer had never admitted it.
Being stared at so eagerly by his parents, Spencer could not help but glare at Nicole. “She could come with June.”
