Ch. 2226..2230: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2226-2230

Chapter 2226

Nicole raised her eyebrow slightly and added to Lawrence’s invite. “The more the merrier. What do you think, Spencer?”

“Alright.” Of course, Spencer would agree to it. Seeing that Lulu had refused to go with him, he could not bear to leave her behind.

That was a good offer. Since Lulu did not want to leave, he just had to stay.

Icyln’s face turned sour after hearing Spencer’s reply. Yet, she could only put on a smile and say, “Sorry for interrupting. R

“No worries. Have a seat,” Nicole offered politely, but her gaze was cold.

After they sat down, their food was served so everyone began to eat.

Spencer noticed that Lulu kept her head down throughout the meal and she did not utter a word. It was obvious that she was in a bad mood.

He served Lulu some of the dishes while whispering into her ear. It seemed like both of them were exchanging secrets and they looked sweet.

Icyln narrowed her eyes. Her gaze seemed malicious as jealousy grew in her heart.

‘Everything was going well before this. Why is it that once we bumped into Lulu, everything changed. Spencer did not even look at me once!’

Gritting her teeth tightly, Icyln fixed her gaze on the shrimp on the serving plate.

She took one and placed it on her plate. She was peeling the shrimp when she suddenly shouted, “Ah! That hurt!”

Spencer turned around and looked at her. “What happened?”

Icyln raised her finger and said pitifully, “Spencer, I

As she was speaking, tears welled up in her eyes. She seemed like a weeping beauty.

A crossed look immediately formed on Lulu’s

Nicole narrowed her eyes. She had lost her appetite and was in no mood to continue eating.

“Excuse me.” Spencer raised his hand to signal for the waiter.

“Sir, how may I help you?” The waiter came over and asked.

“Please bring a pair of d isposable gloves for this lady here.” Spencer glanced at Icyln and spoke.

Icyln felt as if thunder had sounded, ‘G-gloves?’

“But, Spencer, my hands are really in pain.” Icyln continued to act pitiful. ‘Why would I need gloves?’

“Then…” Spencer hesitated for a while. Then, he ordered the waiter, “Give us another plate of shelled shrimp.”

“Alright, just a moment.” The waiter turned around and left.

Icyln froze like a stone. That was not the outcome she wanted, but she had no other way to refute.

“Lulu, you love shrimp, right? Have some.’ Nicole placed the dish in front of Lulu.

“Thank you.” Lulu frowned. Then, she picked up a shrimp to peel.

However, Spencer stopped her. “Let’s wait for the shelled shrimp later. Otherwise, you’ll hurt yourself.”

After all, he had just witnessed Icyln cut her fingers with it. He was a little worried about Lulu.

Chapter 2227

“Don’t worry. I’m not that weak.” Lulu was not feeling happy, so she indirectly directed her comments towards Icyln.

“Listen to me,” Spencer urged gently.

Lulu, who was feeling annoyed, could not take in any advice. She picked up the shrimp and began to peel.

Spencer felt slightly annoyed. So, he put the shrimp on his plate and de-shelled it for Lulu. After shelling it, he placed it on Lulu’s plate.

Lulu stared at the shelled shrimp and blinked her eyes. Her brain went blank for a second.

Then, two shrimps, three shrimps appeared. Spencer had filled Lulu’s plate with shrimp which he had shelled.

Spencer smiled and said in a gentle tone, “Eat them.”

“Okay.” Lulu could tell that she was still in a daze. So, she could only give a response blankly. She slowly picked up the shelled shrimp and ate it.

“The shrimp are really sweet today! It tastes amazing!”

Icyln’s face instantly looked crossed. It was as if her face was burning, and it had a hint of pain.

“Here are your shelled shrimps, miss.” The waiter placed a plate of freshly cooked shelled shrimps in front of Icyln.

Staring at the steaming hot plate of shelled shrimps, Icyln’s shrimps was mocking her.

“Spencer, my fingers are really in pain. I’ll head back first to treat it.” Icyln could not take it anymore, so she got up and left.

“Is she fine on her own?” Nicole asked simply. After all, Spencer would have to face the teacher. If anything were to happen, he would not be able to give a reasonable explanation.

“It’s fine. She lives nearby,” Spencer replied calmly.

“Oh.” Nicole immediately understood. ‘No wonder we

The rest of them continued having dinner. After dinner, they were getting ready to leave.

“I’ll send Lulu back. As for Nicole…” Spencer wanted to ask Nicole if she wanted to follow him.

Nicole understood what he wanted and smiled. “Leo will send me back. The both of you can go ahead.”

How could she be a third wheel at such a moment?

Although Lulu was not as angry as before, she still felt

Spencer looked at Lawrence and spoke politely, “I’ll leave my sister to you then.”

Lawrence smiled and replied, “No worries. It’s my pleasure.”

Soon, Spencer brought Lulu out. Nicole and Lawrence also left the restaurant.

The moon was up in the sky. Looking at the night view, Lawrence casually said, “The moon here is quite different from the one at Crescent Island. Actually, I still miss life at the island, even when I’m here at San Joto.”

“No matter how great Crescent Island is, it’s not my home.” Nicole’s reply seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

To her, Crescent Island contains a part of her life, but it will never be her final destination.

She hoped that Lawrence could understand that. She was Nicole Riddle. Everything at San Joto is where she belonged. Even if she had to bear responsibility for certain things, that was what her heart wished for.

A flash of disappointment flitted across Lawrence’s eyes. Soon, it returned to normal, and he smiled gently. “Of course, San Joto has its pros. But with Genesis, this would be my future home.”

Knowing how much time and effort Lawrence poured into Genesis Group, Nicole exclaimed, “It’s good that you like it."

“Of course I like it.” Lawrence looked at Nicole affectionately.

Nicole looked away and did not notice the look on Lawrence’s face.

“Let’s go. It’s getting late.” While speaking, Nicole was walking towards the car.

Lawrence shook his head indifferently and followed after

Nicole’s footsteps.

Chapter 2228

The night was inching closer. Jared had just returned home and noticed light was coming from Nicole’s study. ‘I think she left it on for me.’

Jared glanced at Nicole sleeping on her bed, a flash of softness filled his eyes. He quietly slipped out of the room and took a shower before changing into a pair of fresh pajamas.

Jared slipped into bed and was about to sleep when Nicole suddenly turned over and laid in his arms. It was as if she had felt his presence. Unconsciously, she patted her hand on his chest.

Jared looked down at Nicole, his eyes softened as he saw Nicole was fast asleep. He could not help but to feel powerless when Nicole did this to him. He pulled the sheets over them both, pulling her tighter into his embrace before falling asleep.

Jared’s exhaustion and worries were immediately swept away the moment he saw Nicole laying in his arms.

The next day, Nicole’s eyes fluttered open and immediately, the first thing she saw was Jared’s cheek. Jared was still fast asleep, Nicole was confused as to when and what time Jared had reached home last night. ‘I guess he got home quite late last night.’

Nicole gently attempted to pry away from Jared’s grasp, not wanting to wake him up. Unfortunately, Nicole failed. The moment she moved his arm away, Jared woke up and opened his eyes.

“I’m sorry I woke you up.” Nicole felt guilty waking Jared up. She wanted to let him rest a little while longer.

“You want to get out of bed?” Jared asked, frowning slightly.

“Yeah, you should rest for a little while more,” said

Jared tightened his grasp on Nicole and hugged her tightly.” Join me,” said Jared in a husky voice.

“Don’t mess around. I have to get up.” Nicole’s cheeks flushed red. She shot him a look.

Jared hugged her tighter and buried his face into the

Nicole felt distraught as she heard the tiredness let me go? I can’t breathe.”

Jared’s eyes flashed a glint of mischief, a smirk on his face.” I’ll help you breathe.”

And before Nicole could react, Jared planted a long kiss directly onto Nicole’s lips before letting go. Jared looked at Nicole with satisfaction before closing his eyes again.

Nicole’s cheeks were burning red as she watched Jared fall asleep, knowing that he was tired. She quietly accompanied him as she looked intently at his attractive face.

Nicole stared at his features. ‘His eyes are so deep, his straight nose…’ Her gaze stopped when it fell on Jared’s lips. The image of them kissing unconsciously replayed in her mind. Nicole’s face flushed red once more.

Ever since Nicole had returned, her memory had been coming with warmness.

Five years ago, Nicole and Jared had gotten married and pregnant at Panem. It had been exactly five years since she had disappeared. Nicole could not comprehend how and what Jared had gone through for the past five years without her.

Nicole bit her lip as she raised her hand and gently caressed Jared’s eyebrows, soothing his furrowed skin. Nicole pursed her lips before murmuring softly, “Maybe I never had anywhere to escape to.”

‘Even without any of my memories back, one thing for sure is that I’m falling for him.

‘

The sound of feet patting the ground was soon heard.” Mummy, are you awake?”

A voice echoed behind the bedroom door after a faint knock. The voices of Nolan and Lana were echoing.

“I’m coming,” Nicole responded subconsciously, before turning her head around to look at Jared who was still asleep. Nicole gently slipped out of bed and walked to open the bedroom door.

“Daddy’s still sleeping. You guys can head downstairs.

Mommy has to get changed first.” Nicole signaled Nolan and Lana in case they become fussy and directed them to head downstairs to wait.

 

Chapter 2229

“Okay,” Lana agreed.

Nolan frowned and furrowed his eyebrows. ‘Why is mommy calling that evil man those names?’

“Nolan, come on!” Lana said as she tugged on Nolan to follow her.

Nolan followed obediently. He could not help but frown, feeling something was off.

Nicole quickly went back into the room once she saw the twins leave. She quickly washed up and changed into a set of fresh clothes.

Jared was still fast asleep by the time Nicole had finished getting ready. Nicole silently slipped out of the room, closing the door gently behind her.

Nicole headed downstairs where everyone was already in the dining room. Nicole went over to join everyone for breakfast.

“Nicole, why didn’t you call Jared to join us?” Gloria asked, noticing Nicole had come downstairs alone.

“He came back very late last night. I thought he could use some rest,” replied Nicole.

“Oh…” Everyone in the dining room heard it and became conscious by lowering down their voices.

Once breakfast was over, everyone left to do their own

“Is there something going on with the Johnston

“Probably,” Daniel agreed. “We can’t help them much, but we can probably tell Nicole to look after Jared a little bit more.’

“I’m sure she will. I believe Jared will sort out his manners soon too,” said Daniel profoundly.

‘If Jared can’t solve this matter easily, none of us could,’ Daniel thought to himself.

Daniel and Gloria headed upstairs as they talked.

Meanwhile, Nicole had made a beeline to the office in the Riddle Residence. Lulu also happened to have arrived at the same time.

She waved at Nicole happily. “Nicole!”

“Come on. Let’s go inside,” said Nicole. They both entered the building.

“It looks like it was nothing after all,” joked Nicole, noticing that Lulu was apparently happy.

Lulu’s cheeks flushed red. Embarrassed, she admitted, “Of course it was nothing.”

“Really?’ Nicole asked, raising her eyebrows. A playful look flashed in Nicole’s eyes. “Someone seemed very down in the dumps yesterday.”

Lulu was embarrassed and could not help but deny. “No, I wasn’t.”

“I didn’t say it was you,” teased Nicole.

Lulu’s face was flushed red, knowing Nicole was pushing the right buttons. “Stop teasing me or I’ll ignore you.”

Nicole laughed cheerfully as Lulu became more embarrassed.

Soon, they reached the office. Nicole glanced at the pile of documents on her desk before snapping back to reality. Lulu had also recovered and started to help Nicole sort out the documents before

starting to work.

Meanwhile, at the Riddle Residence. Jared had just fluttered his eyes open. He looked at the time and got up from bed.

Jared was awake when Nicole left. He could not help but admire Nicole acting all wary in fear of waking him up.

Jared quickly washed up, changed into a pair of fresh clothes, and left the Riddle residence.

Chapter 2230

Max picked Jared up from the Riddle residence.

“Mr. Johnston, the Genesis Group has been oddly silent. Do you think they might’ve picked up on something?” Max said with a dignified expression.

“It’s probably nothing. Tell them to have a little more patience.” Jared’s eyes were gloomy. ‘Hunters should have more patience if they want to succeed.’

“Yes, sir,” Max replied.

Jared leaned back into his seat, his eyes were cold and blank. ‘This time I’ll set Lawrence back into his place. I’m not the one to be messed with.’

The sun was scorching hot in the afternoon. Nicole had just gotten back from lunch and felt a little drowsy. She plopped down on the sofa to have a short nap.

Nicole frowned as she heard a knock on the door. She opened her eyes slightly and called out, “Come in.”

“Nicole!” Lulu came rushing in, agitated as if she had heard news.

Nicole could not help but smile when she saw Lulu’s excited appearance. “What’s the matter? Why are you so excited?”

“I have big news.” Lulu said with a huge grin on her face. ” Guess who won the big project of DillCorp?”

“I don’t know.” Nicole shook her head, trying to figure out how to take such a wild guess.

“It’s Harvey.” Lulu said in a low voice, as she slowly spelled out his name.

Nicole blinked. “So?”

Nicole knew that Harvey was leading San Joto’s with his business and was living up to his family name.

Lulu’s strange excitement for Harvey had made Nicole question her a little. ‘Even if DillCorp and Ellison Group had collaborated, why is she being like this?’

Lulu noticed Nicole’s unbothered expression. She reached out and felt Nicole’s forehead. “How can I help you with your amnesia-“

Lulu cut herself off, turning to look around to check for anything unusual before lowering her voice and said,” There’s a long story between you and Snow. It’s all because of this man…”

Lulu explained to Nicole about all that has happened between her, Harvey, and Snow. Lulu then pursed her lips in disgust. “Before, I thought he was the most handsome guy ever. Ever since that incident, I feel like he’s the worst person alive. His behavior doesn’t give justice to his looks.”

Nicole sat there stunned as she slowly digested all the details Lulu had shared with her. ‘I never imagined having so much bad blood between the three of us. This guy is quite cunning to play such dirty tricks on me.’

Nicole’s face turned blue as she listened to Lulu telling her about Harvey’s endless plot and stalking.

‘What kind of scumbag is he? He surely is a match for Snow.’

Nicole had gotten the basic understanding from Lulu, and too she could not help but sneer, “So Snow suddenly joined DillCorp because of Harvey?”

‘She’s still infatuated with him. She tried so hard for so many years now yet she’s unable to get close with him. Does she have the brain size of a pea? Can’t she understand that if he really liked her, this

wouldn’t be the situation now?’ Nicole thought to herself.

Lulu was excited to see Nicole to have caught up with the gossip. “Do you think those two will ever be a thing?”

Both Snow and Harvey are still bachelors, so I guess as long as they are able to see eye to eye, perhaps maybe they could stand a chance with each other.

‘But then again, DillCorp and Ellison Group are two powerful companies. Why had they joined hands together? Snow joining DillCorp so she could handle this project with Ellison Group might be her only ticket to get close to Harvey,’ thought Nicole to herself.

She bit her lip and raised her eyebrows as she looked at Lulu. “Can you arrange someone to keep an eye on Snow?”

“Sure.” Lulu agreed, blinking her eyes.

“Keep an eye on them, especially on the projects,” urged Nicole.

“How did you know that Snow would be handling this…” Lulu suddenly had an epiphany before nodding, “Don’t worry and leave it to me. I’ll have someone keep an eye on those two.”
