My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1237

Chapter 1237

[Mr. Johnston, what have you been busy with? Why didn't you have the time to answer my call?]

As it turned out, it was sent by Fiorella. Jared sighed and thought, 'Why is she still pining over me...?'

Jared replied perfunctorily, as it would be rude to just ignore the text.

[There are too many things for me to deal with as of recent. I am busy during the day. I must've missed it.]

[I've heard about the fire at The Beacon factory. Don't get too angry, things will get better with time.] Fiorella comforted him.

[Are you going to your office tomorrow?]

Jared stared at the message she had sent and ceased all of his responses for a moment. 'What does she mean? She's not going to come to the office to find me, is she?'

[I'm not sure.] Jared replied in ambiguous fashion.

[It's okay. Are you going to the office or Martin's? I know the address to both locations.]

[Anyway, it's already late. I won't bother you anymore. Please get some rest. It must've been very stressful these days. I'll see you tomorrow.] Fiorella texted and sent him a goodnight emoticon.

Jared stared at Fiorella's messages in shock.

'What is wrong with Fiorella? Is she really going to come over to find me tomorrow? If she does bump into Nicole, there would be a huge misunderstanding.'

[I'm too busy to keep you company these days, Miss Fisher. I'll visit you some other day.]

Jared quickly edited his text and sent it before he awaited her reply.

Minutes passed and still, a reply was not seen. 'It seems that she must've slept.'

At this point, Jared was worried about what he should do the next day, and after a while, he raised his head. He could only allow the chips fall where they might. He walked out of his study and towards Nicole's room. Then, he pushed the door with his hands just to find that they did not budge.

"You locked the door! Do you think it can keep me out?" Jared's mouth curled slightly, and he walked away before coming back with a key.

Nicole was falling asleep on the bed when she suddenly heard someone unlocking the door.

Alarmed, she immediately turned the light on and sat up, staring at the door with her eyes wide open. "It's broken!”

He seems to have the key," Nicole murmured.

The door opened with a click. It was the sixth key that Jared had tried. If he could not open the door with the keys, he would have torn the door down, but as it did, he pushed it open and walked in.

He thought Nicole was fast asleep on the bed and did not expect the bedroom light to be on with Nicole sitting on the bed whilst looking at him.

"Why haven't you slept?" Jared looked at Nicole in surprise.

"I was about to fall asleep, and you woke me up." Nicole looked at him in the eye with dismay.

"So, I woke you up?" Jared placed the bunch of keys he had in his hands on the table and walked towards the bed.
