Ch. 996..1000: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 996-1000

Chapter 996

"Oh, it was an industrial seminar.Must be boring, right?"

Martin could almost imagine a group of people sitting around discussing those metal machinery.

"It was okay, not overly boring."

Nicole was not bored because what they were discussing was different from what Martin was imagining.

"By the way, it was Joyce who sold that first-generation product to Curley Corporation, right?" Nicole looked at him.

"Yes, "Are you going to sue them for copyright infringement?" Nicole asked.

If he wanted to defend his rights, she could help.

"I don't want to pursue any further.Curley Corporation was unaware of it in the first place.Besides, you have helped me get the thing back, so pursuing the matter is unnecessary."

Martin now seemed to be uninterested in fame and fortune.Not to mention the Joyce family had already received its due punishment.

"Good.Anyone can make mistakes; forgive them when possible." Nicole agreed with Martin's thinking.

"Since the exams are over, you should be relaxed now, right?"

Martin steered the conversation to a lighter topic.

"Yes.I'm preparing a travel plan now, and if things go well, I should be ready to go soon."

"Lenvy you so much for being able to go traveling."

"You can too.Take a vacation for yourself after The Beacon is done, and go outside and relax," Nicole said.

She thought Martin was the one who should go out for a change of environment.

"It lacks fun traveling alone.Unlike you, two people can see the same scenery, listen to the same music, and can talk on the road.How good!"

There was a tinge of envy and a longing look on Martin's face.

How he wished there was someone who could be like Nicole, accompanying him to see the world, talking and laughing along the way.

"Then you should find a companion quickly.There seem to be a lot of nice girls around you, don't you?" Nicole teased him.

What Nicole said was true.

Martin was handsome and gentle, just that he could not help himself when it came to experimenting because that was his heart and soul, and he would not allow anything to get in the way.

Other than that, he was definitely a great guy.

"Don't make fun of me.No girl would take a liking to an experimental nut like me."

Martin laughed at himself.

That was how he portrayed himself; he did not think he was that good.

"There will always be someone who clicks with you."

Nicole did not want to delve into the topic of relationships with him too much.

"Yeah, but she may already have her heart set on someone else."

Martin glanced at Nicole with an abstruse look in his eyes.

Nicole did not meet his eyes but took a bite of her food.

"I heard you brought your grandmother from the countryside.When did that happen?"

It suddenly crossed Martin's mind.

"Just this month.She is getting older and older, and I don't feel comfortable with her being alone in the countryside."

Life in the countryside was inconvenient.

Nicole was worried that her grandmother could not get medical attention in time if she fell sick By getting her grandmother to live here.she could take care of her at any time.

"Yeah, older people should live in a more convenient place, and the city has excellent living, entertainment, and medical facilities."

"Did your grandmother have her medical check-up this year?"

Martin asked, looking at Nicole.

"Not yet.I wouldn't have remembered had you not mentioned it.I will have to take Grandma for a full body check-up soon," she said.

"Tell you what, I will help your grandma make an appointment:.After all.our hospital is the best in the state."

"That won't be necessary.I will just take her straight there.It is not urgent at all.” Nicole thanked Martin for his kind offer.

"Well, feel free to contact me if you need anything." Martin still wanted to be able to help.

"Okay. If I really need help, I will call you," Nicole said with poise.

 

Chapter 997

After dinner, Nicole drove Martin home.

"Thanks for the ride back.Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?"

Martin looked over at Nicole.

"No, thanks.I need to go back and get some rest."

She had not had a good rest since she got off the plane.She had been running around outside, so she indeed felt tired at the moment.

"Okay, drive safe." Martin watched Nicole's car until it disappeared before walking into the house.

Nicole headed straight toward Jared's villa.

As she arrived, she parked the car and walked in.

Jared had not returned yet.

Relieved, she went to the dining room and poured herself a glass of water, then went to the living room, sat down, turned on the TV, and laid down to rest.

Before she knew it, she was asleep.

At some point during her sleep, the sound of a door closing jolted her out of her sleep.She opened her eyes, looked toward the door, and sawa familiar figure walking in.

Seeing Nicole sleeping on the couch, Jared walked over to her and asked with concern, "Why didn't you sleep in your room? You didn't fall asleep waiting for me, did you?"

"Yeah, why are you back so late? It's getting dark." Nicole glanced out the window.

It was already dark outside.

"I was supposed to be back at the end of the day, but I had to attend a video conference all of a sudden, so I was a little late.Sorry to keep you waiting." Jared looked at Nicole apologetically.

Nicole then understood why Jared had come back so late.

"Have you had your dinner?" Nicole asked.

"Not yet."

"I will go make you something. What would you like?"

Nicole was about to get up.

Jared stopped her and looked at her with gentle eyes.

"You get some rest.I can do it myself.Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten.You go and eat something." Nicole said and went to sleep again.

Jared saw her sleeping so well and knew that she must be tired from the business trip, so he gently helped her cover up and then went to the kitchen.

After a quick meal, Jared came to the couch.He picked her up and walked upstairs.

At first, he thought of having some intimate moment with her, but seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he did not disturb her.

The next day, the sun was just right, and the breeze was warm.

Nicole lazily stretched and reached her hand to the side.

When she did not feel the person next to her, she opened her eyes and found that she was alone in the room.

"That's strange.Where did Jared go? I clearly remember him coming back yesterday."

Nicole sat up groggily and looked out the window.It was another day in a great mood for her.

Getting out of bed and walking out of the bedroom downstairs, she heard the sound of cooking in the kitchen.So, she followed the sound.

"Are you making me breakfast?" Nicole's gentle voice came from behind him.

Jared looked back.

"You're awake.Take a seat in the dining room.Breakfast will be ready in a minute."

Before she went to the dining room, Nicole gently walked up and hugged him from behind.

"Thanks, I am so blessed."

Jared turned around and dropped a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm blessed too, and to be able to take care of you."

The two sat across from each other in the dining room.

Nicole happily ate the breakfast Jared had made.

"Do you have something to do today?" she asked.

"There's an outdoor event today.If you're free, you can come with me and check it out."

Jared would like Nicole to go with him.

 

Chapter 998

"Yeah, I can stay with you all day today." Nicole looked at Jared with a smile in her eyes.

"Oh, it's rare that our Miss Riddle is not busy. How nice."

After eating, Max came to pick up Jared in a car.

"Mr.Johnston, the car is ready."

"Then let's go."

Jared took Nicole's hand and got in the car.

Max drove toward the suburb.

The scenery along the way was beautiful, a place where Nicole had never been before.

"Are we going to the countryside?" Nicole looked at the gradually unfamiliar landscape.

"Yeah, you can relax as much as you want today."

Jared kind of took her out to relax.

"Really? That would be really great.It would be nice to have a horse to ride," she said the last part of the sentence in a murmur.

Jared made a mental note of it.

After half an hour, the car stopped in front of a building.

"Here we are.Let's get out of the car." Jared looked over at Nicole.

"Okay."

Jared led Nicole inside the castle-style building.

"I'm going to meet someone first, and I will come to you later.You can just hang out here.-Max, take care of Miss Riddle."

"Aye." Jared walked to the other side, and Nicole walked to the front.

As she pushed open the door, a massive turf with nice soothing weather greeted her.She walked on the turf and felt fresh with every breath, like having a natural oxygen spa.

"Max, does Mr.Johnston always come here?" Nicole asked as she looked at the distant scenery.

"Occasionally."

"Is there anything interesting to do here?"

"There's a golf course here.Do you need me to get the clubs?" Max asked.

"Why not? Let's go play golf for a while."

Nicole could not find other things to do, so she decided to play golf.She got onto the golf cart, and Max drove her toward the golf course.

"Here's your gold club, Miss Riddle," Max said.

Nicole took the club, went to a golf course tee, looked into the distance, and swung the club.

The golf ball flew in a beautiful arc before landing on the grass.

Due to the distance, Nicole had to travel by cart.She was having fun on the golf course while Jared was upstairs talking to someone.

He looked out the window just in time to see Nicole's silhouette, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Fiorella Fisher was talking when she noticed Jared's smile.She thought he was interested in her, and she was thrilled for a second.

"Mr.Johnston, it seems that you are interested in the said proposal.If it is convenient for you, we can drop by the site to take a look this afternoon."

Fiorella looked at Jared with a smiling face.

"There's nothing wrong with this project.I will find another time for the site visit.I have other things to do today."

Jared politely declined Fiorella's suggestion. Fiorella smiled and looked at Jared.

"It's okay.Mr.Johnston's business is important.Then we will make another appointment; it is not an urgent matter, anyway."She, an experienced businesswoman, quickly defused the awkwardness with just a few words and made Jared fee] at ease.

"Do you have any plans for noon?"

Fiorella thought that since Jared had something in the afternoon, it should be okay for her to ask him to have lunch at noon.

"I have no plans for noon."

Jared had his full attention on Nicole on the golf course, and he did not really pay any attention to what Fiorella said.

Chapter 999

"Then let's have lunch together." Fiorella suggested.

Only then did Jared look at her, thinking of declining her offer.But since Fiorella had already said it, it was rude for him to refuse now.

"Okay."

"Then you may take a rest here while I make the arrangements."

Fiorella smiled and looked at Jared, then walked out.

Jared could not sit still in the lounge and made a beeline to the golf course.

The moment Nicole swung her club, a round of applause came from behind.

Feeling odd, Nicole looked back behind her.

"You're done with your work?"

"Yeah."

"Nice shot."

Jared complimented her.

"Want to join me for a match?"

Nicole invited him.

"Why not? But I will have to tee it up here." Jared asked Nicole's opinion.

"No problem."

Nicole really was not having much fun playing by herself.

Now that she had Jared to keep her company, it did not matter where he teed off.

Jared took a look at Nicole's ball position, picked up his club, and swung his arm.

A white ball flew off into the distance, landing just short of Nicole's ball and slightly in front of it.

"Not half bad at all."

Nicole watched Jared's neat actions and admired him.

"How about we have a reward and punishment?"

Nicole suggested.

It seemed a little less fun without some kind of reward or punishment.

"Yeah, go ahead."

Jared wanted to hear what great ideas she had.

Nicole thought for a moment.

"The winner will make the loser do one thing, and the loser can't refuse."

"That's a great idea, I think. It looks like you have got to be ready for it."

Jared looked at her wickedly.

"I'm not going to get verbal with you.See you on the course."

Nicole took her gold club and walked toward her ball.

Jared watched on with interest and followed her.

The two competed joyfully on the golf course.

Near noon, their game finally ended.

Nicole put down her club and looked at Jared.

"When I figure out what to do, I will let you know.You can't refuse."

"Of course.Since we have agreed, I'm going to keep my promise."

Jared looked at Nicole with a serious face.

"Mr.Johnston, lunch is ready.And this is?"

Fiorella looked at Nicole beside Jared.

"This is my Nicole Riddle, my fiancée.And this is Miss Fisher," Jared said, giving a brief introduction to the two.

"Abh, it's Mr.Johnston's fiancée.Nice to meet you." Fiorella greeted Nicole warmly.

"If you don't mind, Miss Riddle, why don’t you join us for lunch? What do you think, Mr.Johnston?"

Fiorella finished with Nicole and looked at Jared again.Jared did not answer immediately but looked to Nicole for her opinion.

"Why not?"

Nicole did not feel any wrong.

Fiorella was kind enough to invite her the first time they met.So, she thought it was rude to refuse.

Besides, the invitation came from a woman.

"Then let's go in."

Jared saw Nicole did not object and looked at Fiorella.

"This way, both of you."

Fiorella made a gesture and then led the way.The three of them came into the vast room, with Jared sitting in the middle, and Nicole and Fiorella sitting on either side.

"Mr.Johnston, my toast to you."

Fiorella raised her wine glass and waited to clink glasses with Jared.

Without speaking, Jared picked up his glass and clinked it with her.

"You like this, don't you?" Jared fetched Nicole a piece of the dish.

Chapter 1000

"I really envy Mr.Johnston and Miss Riddle." Fiorella smiled as she looked at them, feeling somewhat jealous inside.

'What is wrong with me? How come I feel this way?' "What does Miss Riddle do for a living?" Fiorella casually chatted with Nicole.

"I'm a student." Nicole looked at her.

"I have nostalgic memories of my school days.I can still remember all the good and heart -breaking moments as a student." Fiorella lamented.

"I guess Miss Fisher had a colorful student life, right?" Nicole looked at her and spoke casually.

"It was relatively relaxed when I was in school because I didn't have to worry about my homework." Fiorella boasted.

Nicole nodded in acknowledgment.

"I can tell.Otherwise, you wouldn't be where you are today."

She knew that those who could dine with Jared must also be someone prominent.

"Thank you."

Fiorella gladly enjoyed Nicole's compliment.

Jared barely said a word to Fiorella during lunch.

"When you're done eating, I will take you somewhere." Jared looked at Nicole, his eyes full of her.

"I'm done."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Fisher.We have some business to attend to, so we will make a move first."

After Jared politely said goodbye to Fiorella, he took Nicole's hand and left the room.

Fiorella watched as Jared and Nicole disappeared into the doorway.

After they were gone, she put away her smile, got up, and went to the window, below which was Jared bringing Nicole into a cart and driving off in a direction.

"Where are you taking me?" Nicole asked curiously.

"You'll see when we get there." Jared kept her in suspense.

It was a big place.

They drove for another ten minutes in the cart before stopping at a turf.

"This can't be a horse farm, can it?"

Nicole guessed as she looked at the long horse barn.

"How did you get so smart? You guessed it in a heartbeat."

Jared had wanted to surprise Nicole because she had said on the way over that it would be nice to have horses.

Nicole smiled and looked over at him, surprised by how mindful of what she said.

"Thank you.I'm so happy."

"Come on, let's go in and pick a horse."

Jared never let go of her hand.

"Isn't there a horse breeder to take us to choose a horse?" Nicole asked.

"Yes, there is, and he should be working inside.Hello, is anyone there?"

Jared asked in a loud voice.

A horse breeder in the long horse barn looked up from what he was doing and fixated his gaze on the entrance.

"Jared, when did you get here? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The horse breeder did not have a trace of timidity when facing Jared but sounded like he was meeting an old friend, his tone natural.

"I was supposed to come here for business and leave, but my fiancée wanted to ride a horse, so I came on a whim."

Jared did not have his usual persona at all.Here he had a more down-to-earth aura, a different kind of charm.

"How are you, Uncle Ronnie?" Jared asked.

"Very well. This is your fiancée, isn't it?"

Ronnie Willis stood up, studied Nicole for a second, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Jared, you are a lucky man."
