My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1116

Chapter 1116

"I'm not hungry yet..."

"It doesn't matter," she interrupted. "It's already afternoon, and we still have to eat. Lunch is on me."

Fiorella held her head up high and looked at Jared. She was waiting for him to get up and head out with her.

Seeing Fiorella's insistence, Jared knew that he could not decline. Knowing this, he casually stood up and said, "Since you're here in my turf, I'll be buying us lunch instead."

"You're always so thoughtful. I'll gladly accept, then." Fiorella smiled and walked out together with Jared.

Back in the restaurant, a portion of Harvey and Nicole's order had been served.

"Sir, please enjoy your food. The rest of the order will be served shortly," the waiter explained in a soft tone.

"Alright."

"Let's give it a try, Nicole." Harvey's eyes lit up as he stared at the dishes. "The plating makes the dishes look really inviting."

"Well, it's pretty good," Nicole complimented after she took a piece of yam and chewed it.

"Yeah. Even these chunks of beef stewed in the broth. Every bite is so rich in flavor." Harvey could not help but express one flattering remark after another about the dishes on the table.

"Anyway, you still haven't answered my question. When are you flying abroad?" Harvey mentioned again.

He was eyeing her, eagerly awaiting her reply.

Nicole looked at him. "Are you that interested in coming along for the project of the manned flying car?"

"Actually, I'm not interested in joining," he said. "I'm just curious about it."

He could not be forthcoming with the fact that he wanted to come along because of her. Otherwise, he would have lost his chance of going with her.

"Curious? There is a time and place for you to fill your curiosity, and this is not it. If that is your reason, I would suggest not going at all. There's nothing there. Our days will be boring and uneventful, filled to the brim with discussions, experiments, and repetitions the entire process until we achieve a desirable result." Nicole explained to Harvey truthfully.

After all, there was nothing attractive there for her as well, and if it were not for Jared, she would not have agreed to join the project.

Nicole was furious at the thought of Jared. She scooped a piece of the food in front of her and took a big bite.

"Don't you think it's cool for a group of people to work on a problem together? Everyone has different ideas and when it all comes together, interesting things tend to occur. To me, it's a place filled with challenges and innovation. Even if I have no knowledge about these things, being able to witness these experiments will be a joy," Harvey said, trying really hard to make his explanation sound reasonable.

"I've never seen you being this persistent over something." She

looked at him with a deadpan expression on her face. "Because you're so eager to come along, I'll let you know once everything is confirmed. But I have one request."

"What would that be?" Harvey stared back, his seriousness matching hers.

"When we're there, you may only follow me around. You can't wander around or touch anything on your own. Wherever I go, you go. Whenever I leave, you leave too. You can't stay there with the development team on your own and get in the way of their work." Nicole laid her demands out, unsmiling.
