Ch. 2191..2195: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2191-2195

Chapter 2191

“She’s the fresh face in our company. We had to add her performance into the list today at the last minute for the rehearsal at the company. That’s why I didn’t have time to pick Lulu up to see the show,” Spencer explained frankly.

“So that’s why,” Nicole responded, her eyes fixed on Lulu.

And as if Nicole had read her mind, Lulu felt an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.

“Alright then, you two can go ahead. I won’t disturb your date,” Nicole waved her hand, signaling both to leave.

“Okay,” Spencer said.

He was also aware that Jared’s car was just parked ahead and did not want to hold the couple up longer than he needed to.

“Spencer, just bring Lulu home if you have nothing to do. Don’t always go out on dates,” Nicole teased and turned around to search for Jared.

“Spencer?” A sweet female voice blared out, causing Nicole to abruptly pause and whirl around.

The few people in the scene turned their attention to the girl coming toward them in unison. It was the same girl who had made an appearance on TV today together with Spencer; she must be the new girl Spencer had mentioned.

“Hi, what are you here?” Spencer asked in confusion.

The girl then looked at Nicole and Lulu, before replying, “I was passing by and saw you. So I got out of the car to take a look.”

The junior saw Spencer with these two women and wondered about his relationship with them. She asked curiously, “Are these your friends?”

“Let me introduce them to you,” Spencer said and looked at Nicole. “This is my junior whom I just told you about. Her name is Icyln.”

Nicole nodded toward Icyln. “I’m Nicole, Spencer’s sister.”

Upon hearing that Nicole was Spencer’s sister, a smile crossed Icyln’s face. “Hi.”

“Lulu, Nicole’s secretary,” Lulu followed and introduced herself.

Nicole raised her brows slightly, wondering why Lulu had introduced herself as her secretary.

“Lulu’s my girlfriend,” Spencer was discontented with Lulu’s introduction and pulled her to his side. He thought, ‘Why did she say she was Nicole’s secretary? Was it so difficult to say that she was my girlfriend?’

This surprised Lulu, who then stared at Spencer. She had never expected him to introduce her to someone so seriously.

“Girlfriend?!” Icyln was taken aback, unable to help herself from stealing a glance at Lulu.

“Yes,” Spencer nodded in affirmation.

In response, Icyln’s expression stiffened. ‘Spencer actually has a girlfriend? But this girlfriend of his seems so mediocre.

Biting her lips discreetly, Icyln nodded at Lulu before ignoring her on purpose, after which she looked at Spencer and said, “Hey, I’m new to San Joto, so I’m not familiar with this place. Can you show me around?”

“Yea, alright,” Spencer agreed.

After all, he had already promised his teacher that he would look after Icyln.

Icyln reached out and took Spencer’s arm happily. “What are we waiting for? Let’s go then.”

Spencer unknowingly withdrew from her grasp. “Not now. Maybe tomorrow. If there’s nothing going on in the company tomorrow, I will show you around.”

Spencer would keep his promise to his teacher, as expected. However, this was his only time alone, and he already had plans with Lulu long ago. He did not want to cancel his date just because of a newcomer. As for Icyln’s desire to explore San Joto, he believed it could be done tomorrow during work hours.

In a tone hinting at her being aggrieved, Icyln said, “Spencer, I just came here. It’s so lonely being on my own. Can’t you stay with me?” i

“I don’t think your choice to come to San Joto is a good one, since you are still so dependent on the company of others. Isn’t it better to stay in your own familiar environment?” Nicole looked at Icyln with eyes brimming with curiosity, her voice filled with concern.

 

Chapter 2192

Icy In’s expression froze, and her face blanched in frustration. However, Nicole was Spencer’s sister, so Icyln could only grit her teeth and put on a fake smile. “Exactly, I’m not satisfied with the way I am, so I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and train myself.”

“Oh, I see,” Nicole nodded in understanding.

She proceeded to encourage Icyln, “In that case, I think you should adapt to being alone as soon as possible. Otherwise, your trip here wouldn’t be meaningful, or even enjoyable.”

Nicole then looked at Spencer, saying, “Isn’t that right, Spencer?”

“Exactly,” Spencer replied, backing his sister up.

He too felt that if Icyln was not prepared, she should not have left home and come to San Joto on her own.

Icyln’s smile froze, unable to hold it together at this point, and in a troubled tone, she could only agree, “Alright then. So you will come to the company tomorrow, right?”

“Of course,” Spencer blandly responded, for it was a certainty that he would go to the company if he did not have any performances arranged.

“In that case, I’ll wait for you at the company tomorrow,” Icyln agreed, her voice feeble as if giving the impression of helplessness.

Nicole’s pupils contracted, and she turned to look at Lulu. She noticed Lulu’s face had blanched as well, and that was where she realized she was not the only one with this odd feeling. She noticed that something was off from the very beginning. Even though Spencer had clearly introduced Lulu as his girlfriend, Icyln had ignored the fact nonetheless.

Icyln had even grabbed Spencer’s arm and acted cute with him, an act which Nicole had found to be rather irksome.

Naturally, Lulu was on guard as Icyln’s actions had made her uncomfortable.

Noting Lulu’s pale complexion, Spencer asked in concern,” Are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Lulu shook her head.

“Are you tired of standing? We’ll get going first,” Spencer replied, worried that Lulu was tired.

He looked at Nicole thereafter, and said, “We’ll go first.”

“Alright,” Nicole agreed without hesitation.

Spencer then turned to Icyln. “See you tomorrow at the company.”

With that, Spencer got in the car with Lulu and left.

Watching as the vehicle barreled away, Nicole smirked,” Icyln? Until we meet again.”

Nicole believed they would meet each other quite often in the future. If Icyln was smart enough, she would know how to behave.

“Goodbye,” Icyln politely bade her farewell, whereupon Nicole nodded in response and walked away.

Just like that, the lively scene died down, leaving Icyln alone. The smile on her face gradually faded, and her eyes reeked with resignation as she looked in the direction where Spencer’s car had driven away.

On the other hand, Spencer saw Lulu leaning against the seat, looking rather deflated.

His eyes were full of concern as he asked, “If you’re really too tired, we can cancel the plan. I’ll send you home first, or you can come to mine. We’ll eat at my place, so that you wouldn’t have to go home with an empty stomach.”

“I’ll go home first,” Lulu bit her lip and answered. She understood Spencer had considered everything carefully. However, she was not in the mood to go to his house.

Besides, she was in a terrible state of mind. As such, she did not want to affect other people as well by going to his house.

“Alright then,” Spencer agreed, slowly pulling the car over into a parking space.

In surprise, Lulu asked, “Why did you stop the car?”

‘This isn’t my house. Didn’t Spencer say he was going to take me home?’ Lulu wondered.

Chapter 2193

Lulu really needed some time to figure things out herself, having been overwhelmed by the incidents she had experienced today. She needed her own space to calm down.

Spencer pushed the car door open and got out. “Come on. There’s a supermarket in front. Let’s go grocery shopping first.”

Worried that Lulu would not eat properly when she headed home, Spencer decided to buy some ingredients so that they could whip up a meal at her house later.

“G-Grocery shopping?” Lulu asked in surprise. “What for?”

At that moment, Lulu had no appetite to eat as she just wanted to go home.

“We’re eating at your house tonight, so we need to buy some ingredients. Otherwise, we’ll have to settle with eating pot noodles later,” Spencer teased Lulu.

He then came over to open the car door on the passenger side, pulling Lulu out.

Lulu reacted accordingly, knowing that Spencer wanted to go home and share a meal with her. He had probably known that she was not going to eat, and that it would lead up to the situation where she could not stand the hunger and settle for pot noodles.

Amid the cocktail of emotions, Lulu was touched by his actions. Concurrently, however, she was heartbroken.

“Let’s go,” Spencer held Lulu’s hand and led her toward the supermarket.

Lulu was half a step behind Spencer, looking up at his tall and elegant figure. He was so outstanding, and she had always thought that as long as she worked hard, she would be qualified to stand by his side. But today’s incident made her question herself. Today had made her wonder if she could really do

it, or work things out with him. She was lost in her thoughts as she suddenly lost all the confidence she had been building all this while.

Noticing Lulu’s silence and preoccupied look, Spencer asked. “What are you thinking about?”

Lulu bit her lips and pretended as if nothing was going on, saying, “It’s nothing. I was just a little curious about that junior of yours. I’ve never heard you mention her before.”

In regard to Icyln, Lulu could not deny the fact that she did not mind her. After all, Icyln was such a stunning girl, making her impossible to ignore.

“Icyln is from Siathern. She used to study under my teacher, so he had asked me to keep an eye out for her when she came to San Joto,” Spencer explained.

“And she’s now in your company. Will she stay here?” Lulu asked, gritting her teeth a little.

“I’m not sure about that. That’s a company matter. Besides, we don’t work under the same agent, so I’m not certain of her future developments,” Spencer answered truthfully.

What’s more, Spencer did not care much about Icyln’s affairs. He had only promised his teacher to look after her. As for Icyln’s career or developments in life, it was beyond his considerations.

Lulu wanted to remind Spencer that Icyln seemed to like San Joto and might even stay here. She chewed her lips and hesitated because she feared Spencer might not understand what she actually meant.

Just as they reached the entrance of the supermarket, Lulu brushed her thoughts aside and followed Spencer to shop for ingredients. Since he was staying for dinner, Lulu had to prepare dishes he liked to eat. The couple shopped for ingredients together, discussing what they wanted for dinner. The sweet

and loving atmosphere resembling that of a real married couple began to show, and Lulu’s mood gradually improved.

Night fell soon after, and Nicole noticed Samuel being a little crestfallen and depressed in the dining room.

She raised her eyebrows with a smirk and asked, “What’s with that expression? Did you just get dumped or something?”

“It’s not far from that,” Samuel helplessly heaved a sigh.

Looking at his lifeless demeanor, Nicole could not help but laugh. “Well work hard then, or else you might lose to Spencer.”

“Ugh,” Samuel heaved another sigh and buried his face in his plate, directing his grief onto the food.

Having registered her son’s current state of mind, Gloria asked, “What happened? Why don’t you share it with us? We can help you out.”

Chapter 2194

“There’s no need forthat,” Samuel shook his head, as having others around to assist him in solving problems of this sort was embarrassing to say the least.

“Mom, forget it. Just wait for the good news,” Nicole smiled and advised.

After all, no one could help another with relationship matters.

“That’s right. Let the kids handle their own affairs,” Daniel said while serving his wife some food.

“I’m finished. You guys take your time,” Samuel said while putting his empty bowl down. He then got up and went upstairs, each step heavy and loud.

“Why would he…” Gloria shook her head helplessly.

Nicole looked at Samuel’s figure, and a hint of amusement crossed her eyes. She was certain June and Samuel did not have a fight. If anything, June would never have the heart to fight with him, while Samuel would definitely not pick on June either. It was probably because June had been too anxious about Samuel’s pursuit and might have spewed some harsh words as a result.

Still, it did not really matter, as the two of them obviously cared for each other. Therefore, Nicole had no doubt that their relationship would not be in trouble.

After dinner, Jared and Nicole went upstairs and entered Nolan’s room.

“Daddy, Mommy,” Lana shouted joyfully when she saw her parents.

“Hi Lana, you’re in your brother’s room as well,” Nicole smiled, not expecting Lana to be here. “What are you doing?”

“I’m building blocks, and Nolan seems to be taking up a task, ” Lana glanced in Nolan’s direction, where he was busy at his computer desk.

Lana got bored in her room alone, so she had come to play with Nolan. However, Nolan seemed busy, so she had to play with herself. Still, her being forced to play alone in her brother’s company was better than doing so in a room all on her own.

Jared lowered his gaze to look at Lana’s blocks and asked,” What are you building, Lana?”

“A castle,” Lana smiled sweetly and tugged at sems of Jared’s jacket. “Daddy, will you come to play with me?”

“Why, of course,” Jared sat down and played with Lana.

Looking at Jared’s big figure sitting on the mat, playing with blocks, Nicole’s eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. This scene did not feel out of place; instead, it felt heartwarming. This felt like an act of compensation for the five years he had missed with the children.

With joy in her eyes, Nicole looked at Nolan, who seemed to be totally engrossed in his task.

Raising her eyebrows, she curiously approached him from behind. ‘Why is he so serious today? It is as if he is dealing with an enemy. Well, this is a first. I have never seen him being so serious before. Could it be that he has taken on a difficult task?’

After getting a clear look at the screen, Nicole’s pupils contracted in shock, and she asked, “Nolan, what are you tracking?”

“Oh, it’s the mission you’ve posted before about the five major crests. I saw someone had accepted it but backed out rather quickly. So, I wanted to find out who it was. I wanted to know who had taken the mission and backed out, ” Nolan answered without stopping what he was doing even for a second.

“Stop what you’re doing right away,” Nicole’s tone became stern.

“Oh, alright,” Nolan immediately stopped, halting the tracking process.

Although he did not understand why, he habitually listened to Nicole whenever the act of hacking was concerned.

After the system had returned to its default settings, Nolan asked Nicole in curiosity, “Mom, why can’t I continue tracking?”

 

Chapter 2195

“That person took the mission and backed out later on.

There are only two possibilities. First, he found out that he could not complete the mission. Either that, or he was testing us to get an idea of what our identities are,” Nicole explained to Nolan.

Nolan blinked his big eyes twice, seemingly having understood what she was saying. “So, that means he might not have a clue about any of the crests, but he wanted to find out who was interested in searching forthem?”

Nicole stroked Nolan’s hair in relief. “Let’s not rule out this possibility,”

If anything, Nicole felt this was the most likely reason as to why that individual had backed out.

“That was close,” Nolan sighed as he almost got Nicole in trouble,

“In the future, don’t do anything risky at random. All you need to care about now is your ranking. As you hone your abilities, your ranking will naturally get higher,” Nicole said with a hint of gentleness in her eyes.

At the end of the day, Nicole wanted to protect Nolan, and improve his skills in a proper way.

“Alright, I get it. If I encounter any problems again, I will inform you first,” Nolan promised, his gaze filled with the determination of an adult.

“Good,” Nicole agreed with a delighted smile.

“This is Daddy’s study. This is Mommy’s and Nolan’s…”

Looking at Lana’s chubby fingers pointing at every part of the castle with a beaming smile, Nicole felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

The sky became darker thereafter, and the couple returned to their room once they had checked on their kids.

“You can go ahead and take a shower first. I still have things to take care of,” Nicole said while taking her laptop out, her expression solemn and unsmiling.

Knowing what Nicole was going to do, Jared’s pupils contracted. Instead of entering the bathroom, he sat down and stayed beside her.

Nicole operated the computer and quickly accessed an interface, tracing a certain cyber trail with utmost caution. After a while, she logged out from the interface.

“It was indeed a trap,” Nicole said with a sigh. Just as Nicole had suspected, the other person was trying to uncover her identity. If she had not stopped Nolan, Nolan’s IP address would have been discovered by the other party. This would expose his identity, along with hers.

“Who was it?” Jared asked, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

“I’m not sure. The other person had an anonymous account, so nothing can be found,” Nicole explained.

Knowing what her enemy was doing, Nicole did not dare to

perform a thorough check. She did not want to alert the other party, as that would make it difficult for her to detect them in the future.

After logging out of the system, Nicole shut her computer down. All she had to do was sit tight and lead her adversary into believing that she had not found anything about them. That way, she might still have a chance when they gradually let their guard down.

In any case, Nicole was more than curious about who the person was. She believed that they would not just disappear into the night. She was also convinced that she would be able to find them. To do so, she would have to start out by discovering some clues.

“Add a firewall to your and Nolan’s computer,” Jared said as his eyes darkened.

Although they were both very careful and skilled at what they were doing, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Nicole bit her lips and agreed, “Deal, I will.”

Nolan’s actions today were indeed reckless. There were no adverse consequences this time, but there was no guarantee that he would be as fortunate next time.

Therefore, they had to plan ahead.

Upon hearing Nicole’s promise, Jared felt more at ease. “It’s getting late. Let’s go to sleep.”

“Yeah, let’s get some,” Nicole got up to put the laptop away before heading off to the bathroom.

When she came back, they both laid down and fell asleep on the bed.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
