My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1219

Chapter 1219

"Why do you look so pale?" Jared looked at Nicole, concerned.

"Really? I don't really feel any sort of discomfort anywhere," she replied." Perhaps I was just rushing during my journey home.

"Grandma, I'm fine. I'll be better after I take a rest." Nicole turned to her grandmother, not want Mrs. Wallace Sr. to worry about her.

She really did not feel weak or uncomfortable at all.

Seeing that Nicole was taking her own condition lightly, Jared became annoyed, "You're already looking this sick and yet you insist that you're fine? Are you waiting for the day when you collapse to finally acknowledge that you're sick?

"You should head upstairs and get some rest," Jared advised.

Nicole looked at Jared. 'I haven't really spoken to grandma yet, so why is he asking me to take a rest already?'

"It's fine. I'd like to stay here and have a little chat with grandma for a while. If you want to catch some rest, you can do so on your own," Nicole finished, and turned to Mrs. Wallace Sr.

Jared knew that Nicole would not listen to him anymore, so he turned to Mrs. Wallace Sr. "Grandma, look at her being all stubborn even with the way she looks. Please tell her off."

"Nicole..."

"Grandma, I know my body well, so you need not worry about me. I'll be staying here with you for a while. After that, I'll head upstairs to get some sleep." Nicole said, taking the initiative to stop Mrs. Wallace Sr. from persuading her.

Seeing this, Jared could not help but issue a sigh and stare at Nicole.

"Alright then. Anyway, what brought you home so suddenly?” Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked, clueless about the fire at Martin's factory.

"Oh, we're on a two-day break and I thought you haven't seen me in a while. Because of this, I felt that I should come back and pay you a visit, so you wouldn't be worrying about me."

Nicole did not tell her the truth. After all, it would only make Mrs. Wallace Sr. anxious, and that would not be necessary.

Jared felt relieved when he saw Nicole withholding the truth from the old lady because he did not want Mrs. Wallace Sr. to worry about it as well.

"You're a lovely granddaughter." Mrs. Wallace Sr. smiled with a look of gratitude on her face.

"Nicole, you've been engaged to Jared for a while now. Shouldn't the both of you pick a date and get married already?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked, throwing the million-dollar question at them.

Nicole's flushed a bright shade of red at once, as she never thought that Mrs. Wallace Sr. would raise a question about this matter.

Concurrently, Jared was also stunned, but he soon realized that it would be a good thing for him.

"Grandma's right, we should really start thinking about this." Jared smiled and gave Nicole a look of delight. 'How did I forget about something so important? Thankfully, her grandma raised the question, or else, it would still be sitting at the back of my mind.'

"What is there to think about? Quit screwing around." Nicole warned as she turned around to look at him reproachfully.

"How is this a joke? That was grandma’s idea." Jared said, using Mrs. Wallace Sr. as a shield with which to deflect her comebacks.

"You!" she fumed. 'Forget it! I'm not going to argue with him. In the end of the day, he won't be the only one to determine if we get married or not.¹

Nicole turned around, smiled at Mrs. Wallace Sr., and explained, "Grandma, we're all busy now. We're not in a hurry to get married yet."
