My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2763

"Hehe." Ellar awkwardly smiled. "She got injured while saving me, so I just wanted to know more about

her."

"Is that all?"' Nicole squinted at Ellar, unable to shake the feeling that he was up to something.

There was something obviously unnatural and forced about the expression on his face, and yet he

stuck to his guns and insisted, "Yes, that's all."

"Oh." Nicole uttered, trying to stop herself from exposing him.

After shooting him another glance, she said, "Patricia didn't come."

"Is she okay?" Ellar asked, seemingly a little disappointed.

"The injury has already healed. You don't need to worry about it,” Nicole replied with a slight smile as

she looked at him.

Ellar looked away in discomfort, and after coming up with an excuse to skedaddle, he said, "I'm running

out of time. I'll go meet my business partner now."

"Sure, go ahead." Nicole grinned.

Ellar was beginning to feel a little uneasy. Something told him that Nicole had seen through him, and

that was good enough of a reason for him to leave.

Nicole's smile grew even wider as she watched Ellar scurry away, almost colliding into a waiter on his

way out. She figured that he must be feeling called out.

After Ellar had fled, Nicole withdrew her gaze and raised an eyebrow. It seemed to her that Ellar was

unusually concerned about Patricia. However, they had barely met, so it begged the question: why was

he so concerned about her?

Still, she was aware that nothing would be able to sway two people from getting together if Cupid willed

it. Those destined for each other would eventually be together.

By the time the hilarious encounter with Ellar was over, lunch was already served, so Nicole shifted her

focus back to the food and proceeded to start her meal with Jared.

Jared gently scooped bits of each dish and served them to Nicole, who happily ate them. In most

cases, there was no defying Cupid's arrow, and the best example was her and Jared.

Then, she looked at Jared and gave him a radiant smile." Thank you, Jared Johnston."

'Thank you for everything in the past. Thank you for knowing me, understanding me, loving me, and

protecting me!'

Jared returned the smile as he lovingly ran his fingers through Nicole's hair. "Same here."

He knew what she meant, and he felt the same way too. He was grateful for her, and he was

determined to spend the rest of his life with her, peacefully and happily.

After lunch, Jared accompanied Nicole back to Riddle Corporation.

When the car stopped, Nicole bit her lip, gave Jared a quick kiss on the cheek, and got out.

Jared was stunned for a moment.

Then, a smile grew on his face as he watched her disappear into the company building. "Let's go,

Max."

"Yes," Max responded and started the car.

"Mr. Johnston, Zane has deployed everyone in his recon and intelligence division to investigate the

Eastern Falcon," Max said in a low voice.

And with a tinge of coldness in his voice, Jared responded," Once there's news, Zane will inform us."

"Oh, and Patricia has also reported that there are now movements on Damien's part. He's probably

preparing to meet someone," Max added.

Everything Damien had done smelled fishy, so they were wondering if Everett was involved in this too.

Jared's brow furrowed as he said, "Just get Patricia to keep an eye on him."

He believed that there was no urgency when it came to dealing with Damien for now, as they would

definitely get wind of Damien's actions the instant he did something.

"Okay, I understand," Max replied.

It would be a waste of resources to strike with full force unless Everett was involved. And even if

Everett had really returned, Nicole and Patricia could handle him themselves, so there was nothing for

him to worry about.

As the sun set, those who had already worked their 8 hour shifts began to make their way home.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
