Ch. 2866..2870: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2866-2870

Chapter 2866

"Ah, here comes my Nicole," Mrs.Wallace Sr.smiled, welcoming Nicole.

"Hey, grandma.Are you feeling better now?" Nicole asked, approaching her grandmother's bedside..

With a smile plastered on her face, Mrs.Wallace Sr.answered, "I'm fine.Don't worry about me."

Seeing that Mrs.Wallace Sr.was trying to sit up, Nicole carefully helped her out.

"Slow down, Grandma.Easy now."

Then, once Mrs.Wallace Sr.was seated upright, Nicole handed her a glass of water.

"Here, have some water."Mrs.Wallace Sr.sipped a few mouthfuls from the glass before putting it down.

"I see you're all done with your work.

"Don't worry, Grandma.Everything went smoothly, and everyone's back at home now," Nicole reassured with a smile.

"That's good,"Mrs.Wallace Sr.said, holding Nicole's hand.

* It's a pity that Tia didn't get to attend the wedding because of me."

Shaking her head, Nicole consoled, "No, no.It's fine.Everyone understood what you were going through.You're fine now, and that's all that matters."

"Hi, Nicole," Tia greeted as she entered the room.

"Grandma told me she's feeling better after her nap.You don't have to worry about her."

Nicole was all smiles as she glanced over at Tia.

"Stanley mentioned that he's going to treat everyone to a meal in two days.Grandma should be fully recovered by then.You must come along, alright?"

After pausing for a moment, Tia nodded.

"Oh yeah, sure."

Catching the look of surprise on Tia's face, Nicole figured that Tia had no idea what Stanley was up to.She then raised her brows in curiosity, surprised that Stanley had yet to inform Tia.

"You youngsters shouldn't be paying too much attention to me.I'll be fine,"Mrs.Wallace Sr.advised before turning to Tia.

"You should go out and have fun with your friends in your free time.Someone else will take care of me when you're not here."

"But I want to take care of you,"Tia said, inching closer to Mrs.Wallace Sr.

"You're still ill.I get worried sick whenever you're in someone else's hands."

Tia would be fine with going out on any other normal day, but she did not have the heart to have fun when Mrs.Wallace Sr.was still in need of her care.

Shaking her head, Mrs.Wallace Sr.argued, "But you can't stay with me forever."Mrs.Wallace Sr.was hinting that one would always start their own family and their own home, and that Tia would eventually have to leave her.

Tia understood Mrs.Wallace Sr"s meaning and blushed.

She argued, "I'm not going anywhere."

Nicole chuckled at Tia’s words, saying meaningfully, "Well, that's not wrong either.I guess you won't be going far."

If Stanley and Tia got together, the two of them would most probably remain in the Riddle residence, unlike the others who had branched out and bought their own homes.

Therefore, Tia could still stick around to take care of Mrs.Wallace Sr.while Stanley would not need to part ways with Daniel and Gloria.

The house would remain as lively as ever, and their parents would not feel as lonely as they had feared.

"Oh gosh, Nicole! Tia gasped in shock, her face flushing.

Chuckling, Nicole took it as a cue to stop embarrassing Tia.She then held her grandmother's hand and chatted away until she spotted Stanley, who had just entered.That was when she figured he was here to find Tia.

"Is grandma feeling better?"Stanley asked in concern the instant he saw Mrs.Wallace Sr.

"I'm fine,"Mrs.Wallace Sr.answered, smiling.

"You must be here for Tia."Mrs.Wallace Sr.then directed him to Tia.

"Go on ahead.I'm fine over here."

Then, Nicole chimed in, "Yeah.I'll take care of her."

"Well, I'll be bringing her out for a moment, then,"

Stanley gratefully replied before leading Tia out of the room.

Seeing this, Mrs.Wallace Sr.smiled.

"It seems that I no longer have to worry about Tia."

"That's right,"Nicole said, holding her hand.

"Tia and I are all grown up now.You don't have to worry about us anymore.You can focus on enjoying life and taking care of yourself now."

The both of them then went on to reminisce about the memories they once shared.

Meanwhile, Tia had stopped on her tracks once she had stepped out onto the courtyard.

"Hey, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"Nothing, in particular.I just miss you.So here I am,"

Stanley revealed gently.

Upon hearing Stanley's response, Tia blushed and stammered, "Didn't...didn't we just meet in the morning?"

"Well, I still missed you regardless,"

Stanley said, caressing Tia's hair.

A surge of warmth and fuzziness filled Tia, causing her to blush.

Stanley then held onto her hand and informed her, "I'm buying everyone dinner the day after tomorrow.Will you come along and join us?"

"The day after tomorrow?"Tia asked, biting her lips in hesitation.

"Are you tied up on that night?"Stanley asked.

Tia mentally sighed, and with a smile, she shook her head.

"No.I'll be there."

"That's great.I'll pick you up, and we'll head over there together,"Stanley smiled.

"Yeah, sure."

Tia nodded at Stanley, whose gaze was brimming with affection.

Nicole, who just so happened to have walked out, was met with this scene, so she proceeded to clear her throat and interrupt the couple.

Tia quickly released Stanley's hands and backed away from him.

Turning to Nicole, Stanley asked.

"Mrs.Wallace Sr.is taking a nap, isn't she?"

"Yeah, she's fast asleep,"Nicole answered before locking eyes with Stanley.

"Well, I'll get out of your hair now.See you around!"

Annoyed, Stanley rolled his eyes.

"Hey, wait up."

He then grabbed Tia's hand and said, "I'll get going now.I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow."

"Okay,"Tia replied shyly, after which she turned around and returned to her house.

As for Stanley, he ran after Nicole and asked, "Is there anything you want to discuss? We can talk along the way."

Stanley knew Nicole had something to say to him.

Otherwise, she would not have gone out of her way to get his attention.

"About the dinner, have you not told Tia about it?"Nicole asked, cutting to the chase.

"Well, I just told her," Stanley revealed.

Nicole nodded.

"Oh, so that's why."

It was clear to her now that Stanley had shown up to tell Tia about the dinner.

She felt that it would be ideal for him to take some time out to inform Tia in advance, as the day would be a special one.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

Stanley asked, still staring at Nicole.Nicole smirked.

"Well, I don't think I need to now."

Since Stanley had gotten it all covered, he should know what to do next.

If this was the plan he had in mind, Nicole would no doubt be ready to throw all of her support behind him.

He stood frozen for a moment, but before he could utter another word, Nicole had already sauntered off in big strides.

Then, he burst out laughing.

"What was I thinking? Nicole knows Tia really well.

How could she not know? I'm sure she called it a long time ago"

Nicole returned to the Riddle residence soon after and headed to Nolan's room.

There, Jared was narrating stories to both of the kids as they were preparing to take a nap.

"Mommy,"

Nolan and Lana called out when they saw her.

They looked drowsy, and were already prepared to fall asleep.

Chapter 2868

Nicole reached out to hug Lana affectionately.

"It's your nap time, right? Let's bring you back to your room."

"Okay,"Lana nodded, after which she rested her head on Nicole's shoulder and shut her eyes.

Jared placed the storybook and tucked Nolan in.

After the boy had fallen asleep, Jared emerged, bumping into Nicole who had also just exited Lana's room.

Looking at Nicole, Jared smiled and led her back to their own bedroom.

"You must be tired,"Jared remarked, having noticed how fatigued Nicole was.

"It's alright.But I do feel like taking a nap,"Nicole replied, walking up to her bed.

As Nicole laid herself down on the mattress, Jared flashed her a smile.

"Go ahead."

Not wanting to interrupt Nicole's nap, he quietly walked over to his desk and switched his computer on.

As for Nicole, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, knowing that Jared wanted to get back to work.

The moment Jared switched his computer on, an unread email popped up on his screen.

Upon opening the email and reading its contents, his eyes slightly widened in shock.

As it turned out, Max had arrived, and the situation there was more complicated than they had thought.

Therefore, Max might have to stay there for a few more days.

Jared proceeded to read Max's report in detail, send him a reply, and stand up.

Then, he walked over to the floor-to- ceiling window overlooking the courtyard.

The sun outside was dazzling and hot, contrasting Jared's aura, which was frosty and dark.

While the situation abroad appeared peaceful and assuming on the surface, there were undercurrents which they were not prepared to face.

These cases might very well be closely related to whatever was happening at San Joto.

After contemplating for a moment, Jared decided to give Zane a call.

"I'll handle things here in San Joto.Get your men to coordinate with Max,"

Jared requested.

"Great minds think alike,"

Zane agreed.

He was aware that now was not the time for either of them to make a public appearance in San Joto, so it was best for them to steer clear of the events happening back home.

"How's it going with Everett?"Jared asked.

"We're still in the midst of checking on him.According to our latest findings, he seemed to have come to an agreement with those at Eastern Falcon,"Zane paused.

Then, he added, "However, those at Eastern Falcon don't seem to trust him, so they're contacting Lawrence in secret too."

"Alright then.You should show them something they would like to see,"Jared said, his eyes frosty and dark.

"Are you saying that we should...?"Zane hesitated.

"That's fine by me.After all, we can't just sit back and watch."

Understanding Jared's intention, Zane concurred and ended the call.

While hanging up, Jared's gaze landed on the scenery outside the window.

Jared thought, ‘Lawrence, Everett, and the members of Eastern Falcon.These few entities who never had dealings with one another now seem to be working closely.Let's see what they are plotting"

Time passed by quickly, and another day passed in a jiffy.

Everyone had been busy with their respective obligations, but on the bright side, today was also the day Stanley had promised to treat everyone to dinner.

Early in the morning, Nicole arrived in her office as usual with Lulu following her from behind.

"These are the files."

Nicole grabbed the files and handed another to Lulu in exchange.

"This one has been sorted.You may have it."

"Alright,"Lulu said, and took the file.

"By the way, Patricia called me this morning.It was true.Damien wanted to leave San Joto.However, she had managed to intercept him before he could."

Nicole raised her eyebrows, asking, "Do we have a clue where he was supposed to be heading?"

"The only confirmation we have at the moment is that he was planning to flee the country."Lulu said.

"We still have no idea where he was supposed to be going.Patricia told me Damien was clearly heading to the airport, but they could not find his boarding details anywhere."
