My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1372

Chapter 1372

Nicole grumbled under her breath while unbuttoning Jared's shirt.

Then, a red mark on Jared's cheek caught her attention. She looked at it closely and realized it came from a woman's lips. 'Didn't he go to a banquet? Why is there a lipstick stain on his face?!'

A lot of questions ran through Nicole's head. She furrowed her brows and looked at Jared, who was sound asleep.

"Good one, Jared Johnston! Looks like you had a lot of fun earlier and even got yourself drunk. Why did you bother coming back home?" Nicole looked at him as she questioned him.

However, Jared only responded with snores. Nicole left his side angrily. Then, she switched off the television and went upstairs.

She lay in her bed and thought about what had happened. The longer she lay there, the angrier she got. She felt like Jared had been pretending to be a man of principles.

The next morning, Jared woke up because of how thirsty he was. He looked around and did not see Fiorella anywhere. Relief flooded through him. He took a cup and filled it with water before downing it. It was only then he realized that he was back home, but he had no idea why he was sleeping in the living room.

He tried to recall what had happened last night. The last thing he could remember was Fiorella unbuttoning his shirt and nothing else after that.

'How did I get home? By myself? Probably not. Max was with me. I'm sure Max sent me back here.

'Why was I sleeping on the sofa then? Max would never just leave me there like that. There has got to be something I missed.'

While trying to recall his memories, Jared heard footsteps from the staircase. He immediately turned his head to look over, thinking it was Fiorella.

Then, Nicole appeared before his eyes, and Jared felt relieved again. The trauma that Fiorella brought him was unimaginable.

"You're awake," Nicole said without concern, looking at Jared.

"Yeah. Good morning," Jared said in greeting.

Nicole glared at him and asked sarcastically, "How was your sleep last night?"

"Last night... was fine." He did not remember what happened anyway, as he had slept away all night. He would still be sleeping if he was not that thirsty.

"What about you?" Jared asked, looking at Nicole.

Nicole continued to mock him. "It was excellent. The bed was so big and fluffy. So much better than the sofa."

After hearing what Nicole said, Jared realized then that he had yet to brush his teeth. He stood up slowly as his head still felt a little dizzy. It got better after he stood upright for a while.

"Is there any breakfast for me?" Jared asked as he walked to the washroom.

He looked at his reflection in the mirror there, and he was shocked! 'What did I do to look like this? My hair is a mess, and even my shirt is unbuttoned.¹
