Ch. 2561..2565: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2561-2565

Chapter 2561 After glancing at the time, Nicole said, "Sure." Once Tia left, Nicole pinched Lana's little cheek and smiled meaningfully.

"Mommy, shouldn't you have dinner by now? We'll go upstairs first," Nolan said as he beckoned to his sister.

Then, they went upstairs.

Nicole smiled gently as she watched them.

“Come on, it's time for dinner." Daniel emerged from his study and called everyone to eat.

Nicole looked around and noticed that no one else was home.

" They're not coming back?" "Yeah, Stanley said he has work, and Samuel and Spencer probably went on a date," Gloria explained.

As they sat down in the dining room, the atmosphere at home felt a bit desolate with so few people.

Daniel looked around and said, "We'll have to get used to days like this from now on." Then, he turned to Nicole and added, "Once you all get married, it might just be your mother and I eating together in this house.” "Well, it is a bit quieter, but I still hope they all get married soon," Gloria said.

''Come on, eat up." "Let's eat." Daniel invited everyone to begin the meal.

"Mom, Dad, we all live nearby, so we can come back anytime," Nicole reassured.

Even though it was a good thing for children to get married, parents also need someone to keep them company.

Thankfully, they were all living close by, so they could pay their parents a visit whenever they wanted.

"That's right.

Whenever you want to eat something, just come back, and we'll prepare it for you," Gloria said with a smile.

After chatting and eating, everyone went upstairs to rest.

When Nicole got back to her room, she gave Stanley a call.

"It's been two days.

How long do you plan to hide?" Nicole got straight to the point.

"IT don't know." Stanley did not make any excuses and simply replied with a hint of helplessness.

“Mom has already arranged a blind date for you this weekend.

You can't miss it," Nicole reminded him.

While he could avoid coming home, he could not miss the appointment they had set.

Stanley fell silent for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, "I know." He also realized that there was no turning back at this point.

He had to show up.

"Alright then, I won't disturb you any longer," Nicole said and hung up the phone.

With a sigh, she put away her phone and turned to look at Jared.

" Stanley's quite conflicted." "Maybe he has his own concerns," Jared consoled her, running his fingers gently through Nicole's hair.

"Let's just let things unfold naturally." "Okay," Nicole agreed and glanced at the time.

"I'll go check if Nolan and Lana are asleep." Then, she left and went separately to Nolan's and Lana's rooms to see if the children had already fallen asleep.

Time passed swiftly, and two days went by.

On the weekend, Nolan and Lana woke up early, eager to go out shopping.

Nicole chuckled when she came downstairs and saw the two adorable kids.

"You two are up so early." “Mommy, hurry up! Let's have breakfast quickly." Nolan and Lana could not wait any longer.

"Alright, let's go." Nicole lovingly took her cute kids to the dining room.

After a while, everyone in the family gathered.

After a delightful breakfast together, Nolan and Lana were pulling Nicole, ready to go shopping.

Chapter 2562

“Mommy, hurry up! Aunt Tia is waiting for us," Nolan urged.

“Alright, let's go." Once they left the house, Tia was already waiting for them.

She immediately greeted them as they approached.

After getting into the car together, Lana seemed somewhat excited, taking in everything on the street as if it were all new to her.

“Mommy, are we there yet?" Lana looked outside, seemingly unable to contain her excitement.

"We're almost there," Tia replied, glancing outside.

Nicole gave Tia a quick look and then shifted her gaze to Lana.

Lana's gaze returned to the car window as if nothing had happened.

Nicole smiled ever so slightly.

She obviously realized Nolan and Lana's intentions.

Stanley had a blind date today, and the kids insisted on going shopping, requesting to bring Tia along.

She could imagine that they would definitely run into Stanley later.

Sure enough, when Nolan and Lana got tired, they suggested going to a cafe for pastries.

They deliberately chose a shopping area that was close to the location of Stanley's blind date.

So, they naturally requested that the cafe they visited be the one where Stanley was meeting his date.

Once they got in, Nolan and Lana quickly scanned the area to find Stanley.

Their eyes lit up when they did.

“Uncle Stanley!" Lana walked over to Stanley's direction.

Tia's expression stiffened when she saw Stanley and his date sitting at a table.

She quickly calmed herself down and looked at Nicole.

Though Lana had gone over to Stanley, Tia knew that she could not follow Lana there and then, so she waited for Nicole's approval.

“Let's go, Mommy!" Nolan said as he pulled Nicole and Tia toward Stanley.

“Why are you here?" Stanley was surprised to see them there.

“We came out to go shopping.

We got tired, so we wanted to have some pastries.

Uncle Samuel, what are you doing here?" Lana pretended not to know and asked curiously.

Stanley felt a bit awkward.

He explained after glancing at the gir] sitting across from him.

"Uncle Stanley is meeting a friend here.” "A friend?" Lana seemed to notice the girl just then and greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, Miss." "Hello," the lady greeted back with a smile, charmed by Lana's innocent and adorable demeanor.

"Nolan, Lana, let's sit over here." Nicole called Nolan and Lana over to the table next to Stanley's and reminded them, "Don't disturb Uncle Stanley." "Okay," Nolan agreed, pushing Tia closer to where Stanley was sitting.

"Aunt Tia, you sit here!" Tia felt a bit awkward as she replied, "Alright." Once seated, Tia kept her head down, even her breathing seemed cautious as she tried to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.

"Aunt Tia, would you like coffee or juice?" “Aunt Tia, would you like some pastries?" "Aunt Tia..." The voices of the two kids kept echoing throughout the cafe.

' Auntie Tia’ was a name that was lingering in everyone's ears, making it impossible to ignore.

Stanley was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.

After enduring it for some time, he finally could not take it any longer and suggested, "I have something to attend to suddenly, so I'll excuse myself." “Alright, are we...

meeting again?" the girl asked nicely.

Stanley hesitated for a moment.

He looked at the girl with a complicated expression as he was unsure how to respond.

The girl bit her lip and could only respond somewhat sadly, "Then you can leave for now.

I'll leave later." "Goodbye," Stanley said.

He paid the bill and hurriedly left without even saying goodbye to Nicole and the others.

Nicole was amused as she watched Stanley's retreating figure.

Nolan and Lana exchanged triumphant glances, while Tia appeared somewhat lost, gazing at Stanley's departing back melancholically.

 

Chapter 2563

Chapter 2563 After sitting alone at the table for a while, the girl got up and bid farewell to them.

"You're Stanley's sisters and nephews, right?" "Yes.

Hello,'' Nicole politely responded.

"IT have to leave now.

Hopefully, we'll meet again someday," the girl said with forced composure.

"Bye," Nicole replied with a faint smile, nodding in acknowledgment.

Perhaps they would meet again in the future, but her relationship with Samuel would likely not progress any further.

The girl turned and walked away, appearing rather disappointed.

"Mommy, can we leave now?" Their mission was accomplished, so Nolan and Lana had lost interest in shopping.

They had never been fond of shopping to begin with.

Everything they did was for Stanley and Tia.

Now that there was nothing left to do, they obviously wanted to return home.

Going home to enjoy the air conditioning and some watermelon in this hot weather sounded much more appealing.

"We're leaving now?" Tia was a bit surprised to be heading home so soon.

"Yes, we're tired, and we want to go home and rest," Lana said, appearing exhausted.

Tia looked at Nicole.

"Miss Nicole, Nolan and Lana are tired, so we should go home." "Alright," Nicole agreed, well aware of the children's thoughts.

After a while, the group returned to the Riddle residence and found Stanley unexpectedly in the living room, chatting with Gloria.

"Uncle Samuel, didn't you say you had something to do? Why are you back?" Nolan asked as he walked in, his tone containing an air of interrogation.

"You're back," Gloria greeted them, pulling Nolan and Lana over.

"How did you know Uncle Stanley had something to do?" "Just a moment ago..." Lana was about to mention encountering Stanley at the cafe when Nolan interrupted and explained, "No, didn't you say Uncle Samuel had something to do today earlier this morning?" "Oh." Gloria had assumed they were referring to Stanley's blind date, so she did not think much of it.

She explained, "Uncle Stanley has finished his business, so he's back." Having said that, Gloria looked at Stanley and asked, "So, how did it go today?" “Mom, I think we should forget about this whole thing.” Stanley finally gathered the courage to speak up.

He regretted agreeing to the blind date.

However, Gloria misunderstood Stanley's meaning and said somewhat helplessly, Since you're not satisfied, we can arrange another one next time.

The other girl is also very nice." "Mom!" Stanley scratched his head in frustration.

"Mrs. Riddle, Miss Nicole, I'll take my leave now," said Tia.

Gloria looked at Tia and said, "It's almost noon.

Just stay for lunch, Tia." "It's okay, I'm going to see Mrs. Wallace Sr." Tia unconsciously clenched her hands, trying to keep herself calm.

Hearing this, Gloria agreed, "Alright, then come over for dinner.

Let Mrs. Wallace Sr. know, and we'll have a meal together." "T'll ask her when I get back, and if she's willing to come, we'll be there." Although Tia did not want to go, she could not make the decision for Mrs. Wallace Sr. "Okay, go ahead then." Gloria nodded gently.

"Yes, Mrs. Riddle." Tia lowered her head and turned to leave.

Watching Tia's departing figure, Stanley narrowed his eyes slightly and he sighed silently.

"Mom, I have something else to attend to.

I'll be going." Stanley finally stood up and left quickly.

"Hey..." Gloria wanted to stop Stanley, but he had already left the hallway.

Shaking her head helplessly, Gloria muttered, "Is that a yes or a no?"

Chapter 2564

Chapter 2564 "Of course it's ano." Lana seized the opportunity and continued, " Great-grandma, I think Uncle Samuel doesn't like blind dates, so maybe you shouldn't arrange any more for him." "I think if he's not satisfied, we should arrange another one until he is.

Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain." Nolan shook his little head like a grown man.

Lana furrowed her small brows, looking displeased at Nolan as if she were saying, "What are you doing?! Why are you on the other side?" Gloria pondered and responded, "You're right.

Maybe this one just didn't click with Stanley.

I believe there's someone out there meant for him." With that, Gloria busied herself to arrange the next blind date.

Lana pulled Nolan away and said in a lowered voice, "Nolan, why aren't you helping Aunt Tia?" "Tam," Nolan said with a meaningful look.

"T'm just trying to help.

That's why I said that." "Ts this your idea of helping?" Lana did not quite understand.

Nolan gave her a look that seemed to say, "You'll see what I mean later." Lana still seemed a bit puzzled, but Nolan had stopped explaining, and Gloria had finished her phone call.

She happily pulled Nolan and Lana along, asking, "What would you like for lunch? I'll get the chef to prepare it for you." As they pondered what to have for lunch, Nicole got up and said, " You guys stay for lunch.

I'm going to the office." “Have lunch before you go!" Gloria urged.

"No, I'll just eat at the office," Nicole replied.

With that, she bid them farewell and left.

As soon as she left, Patricia arrived.

Mrs. Johnston." Nicole and Patricia got into the car together, and Nicole's expression grew serious.

"They've been investigating you." "Yes, but don't worry.

I'm just your new assistant," Patricia said confidently.

She had arranged everything carefully, leaving no room for any flaws.

"Good," Nicole said, satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

For now, just focus on internal company matters." She believed that even if they had not found anything, Lawrence would have people keeping an eye on Patricia.

Therefore, they could not afford to be careless.

Besides, Patricia had come to help her, and there was no need to assign her any special tasks.

"Yes." Patricia knew what Nicole was doing.

The car continued on its way, and after a while, Nicole and Patricia arrived at the company.

"Mrs. Johnston, these are the latest proposals.

Please take a look." Patricia handed several documents to Nicole.

Nicole raised an eyebrow and looked at Patricia.

"Don't call me Mrs. Johnston from now on." Addressing her as 'Mrs. Johnston’ could reveal a lot.

"Got it." Patricia quickly corrected herself.

"Miss Nicole." Nicole frowned slightly, but she could not think of a more suitable title, so she agreed.

This way of addressing her was in line with Patricia's role as a new assistant and would not arouse suspicion.

KNOCK, KNOCK.

After a knock on the door, Lulu peeked inside cautiously.

"Am I interrupting anything?" "No, come in," Nicole smiled and gestured for Lulu to enter.

After coming in, Lulu nodded at Patricia and then lowered her voice to say to Nicole, "I heard that Chloe went to find Martin." "why did she go to see Martin?" Nicole was somewhat surprised.

Chapter 2565

Chapter 2565 "No idea.

I just found it strange, so I thought I'd tell you." Lulu shook her head.

Recently, Nicole would not let Lulu do anything as she was getting married soon.

Lulu had overheard this information by chance and had come back to inform Nicole.

"I'll arrange for someone to investigate," said Patricia.

Nicole nodded.

"Yes, that's a good idea." It was indeed strange for Chloe to seek out Martin.

While Martin was a medical professor, his expertise was primarily in neurology.

He might not be of much help regarding Chloe's paralysis.

It was necessary to investigate and gather information as she still had to keep her guard up against their family because of Everett.

Lulu felt relieved after Nicole had taken notice.

"Please look into it carefully." As long as they could find out the truth, whether it was useful to Nicole or not, it would still be beneficial to her.

After seeing that there were no further matters to discuss, Patricia left.

"Miss Nicole, I'll take my leave now." Leaning against Nicole's desk, Lulu said with admiration, "She must be able to help you out a lot, doesn't she?" Nicole could not help but tease her friend, "Are you jealous?" "Not really.

I'm just envious of her capabilities." Lulu shrugged.

She wanted to be capable too, so she could help Nicole more.

“You're becoming more sensitive the closer you get to your wedding day," Nicole joked.

"You and she are different." “Of course.

She can help you a lot, but I can't." Lulu sighed.

At this rate, she was losing her confidence.

"Stop overthinking.

Just sit and wait till the day you become the happiest bride on earth." Nicole smiled and continued, "My office will always welcome you with open arms." "Thanks for accepting my shortcomings." Lulu smiled.

Lulu felt guilty as she realized just how much she fell short compared to Patricia.

“Why would you say that? Don't forget that you got in here based on your abilities.

There's no need to underestimate yourself." Nicole smiled and reassured her.

After a while, Patricia returned, wearing a somewhat cold expression.

"What's wrong?" Nicole squinted.

Her intuition told her that the news Patricia brought might not be good.

"Chloe heard that you've been going to Martin often, so she wanted to find out something from him," Patricia said coldly.

Chloe's intentions were becoming increasingly clear.

It was quite foolish of her to think she could disrupt Nicole and Jared's relationship at this stage.

"Is that all?" Nicole asked with a dark expression.

Patricia understood what Nicole wanted to ask and replied softly, " She probably doesn't know about that matter." "Okay." Nicole nodded.

If Chloe did not know about her amnesia, it was not important.

Patricia hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss Nicole, there's one more thing.

Chloe has been actively searching for the Ghost Hand recently.

She's doing it more frequently recently, and she's offering a higher reward.

She's even resorted to searching for people on the Hunters." Nicole raised an eyebrow slightly.

"She seems really anxious." For the past five years, Chloe had never given up on her treatment, but there had been no significant improvement.

The Ghost Hand she was looking for had never shown any trace or information.

It seemed that Chloe was genuinely desperate and eager to treat her legs.

Just as Nicole was lost in thought, her phone rang.

Seeing it was Martin's number, Nicole answered.

"Martin." "Nicole, I want to talk to you about Chloe," Martin's voice sounded somewhat uneasy.

"I already know.

You don't have to worry.

It's fine." Nicole's calm voice was somewhat comforting.
