My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1334

Chapter 1334

Jared noticed a trace of guilt on her face. He looked at her and mentally smirked.

'However, you did notice that I had something that needed to be done. You completely ignored that and made it difficult for me. I think you ought to have some responsibility in this," Nicole said while eyeing him.

Nicole genuinely believed that she could not take all of the blame. 'If he hadn't entered the room to bother me, then the rest wouldn't have happened.'

Initially, Jared wanted to give her a compliment, but after hearing the second part of her sentence, he looked at her and said, "You're putting me blame on me now?"

"No, we both had a role to play in how things turned out last night. We're both responsible to some extent," Nicole feebly muttered, as she did not dare pin the blame on him.

Jared issued an audible sigh. "I guess I made breakfast for nothing..."

Nicole hurriedly threw her arms out, with her hands hovering inches above her plate. 'No, the breakfast has nothing to do with this. I am very satisfied with all you've done for me this morning. Thank you."

"It's more important to have a full stomach," Nicole added, hoping it would calm Jared down.

'Quickly eat up or it'll get cold." Jared reminded her out of concern, and did not pursue the argument any further.

Agreeing with what he had said, she began to eat. As soon as they had cleaned their plates, the duo left for work together.

"I might get off of work late today, you...," Jared looked at Nicole and spoke.

Feeling helpless about the situation, she thought, 'What does he mean? Is he still angry about last night? He has never been this sensitive of a person, so why would he make a big fuss this time?’

"It's okay. Don't worry about me, I'll head back to my grandma's place tonight," Nicole said with a blank stare.

Jared, who had calmed down from earlier, looked at her with his brows raised, as though he was aware that something had gone wrong. 'What's the matter now? I have a really busy day ahead. I'm just telling her in advance so that she wouldn't stay up waiting for me, or else I would've allowed her go to the office and accompany me.'

"Nicole, today I am..."

Nicole gave him a wave of dismissal without waiting for him to explain.

"I'm in a hurry to leave." She got into her car, stepped on her accelerator, and drove away, leaving Jared to watch her leave as he swallowed the words that been left unsaid.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to get in his car and drive to the office.

Nonetheless, Jared followed Nicole's car on the way to work. Nicole noticed him trailing behind her through her rearview mirror and turned a blind eye to it, pretending as if she did not see it.

In response, Jared sped up, pulling up to the side until their cars were parallel to each other to glance at her. Though she noticed him, she deliberately ignored him, after which she floored the accelerator, leaving him far behind.

As helpless as Jared felt, he gave up on the chase her to avoid any accidents. The two cars then drove off in two separate directions at the intersection, and by the time Jared arrived at the office, Max was already waiting for him.

"Mr. Johnston."

"What's the matter?" Jared looked at Max and asked.
