My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1499

Chapter 1499

"l-l guess I should get going now. I'm afraid that Uncle Zane might need my help..." Carl said, and left the room thereafter.

The door slammed shut with a bang, showing how much Carl was in a hurry to leave. This gave Nicole a sense of relief.

'Looks like Carl isn't really bothered by everything that had happened. I wish that I could pretend that nothing had happened too,' she thought.

However, Jared had noticed everything. "What happened between you and him? Why is there some sort of tension in the room?"

Jared noticed that Carl would treat Nicole exceptionally well, and whenever he stared at Nicole, he would do so in a passionate way. Besides, he had never really gotten along well with Carl. Even now, he regretted the fact that he had allowed Carl to leave, especially after he had observed how guilty the latter looked.

' Nothing much." Nicole looked at Jared.

Then, she came up with a random excuse in fear that Jared would grow jealous once again. "I guess he's distancing himself from you after he had seen how close you are with Uncle Zane. You're not seeing green now, are you?"

"Are you sure?" he asked.

Jared could not believe what Nicole had said to him because Carl was the heir of his family, and he had figured that the latter would have no reason to fear him just because he discovered that Jared was a close friend of Zane's. Even though he had more questions, he did not bother to ask because Nicole was not ready to tell him the truth.

Besides...he did not want Nicole to think that he was a petty man who would become jealous over everything.

"You're so good with words. What exactly do you mean by that?" Jared frowned and looked at her with his brows raised.

Nicole was left speechless. 'Does this dude not know how easy it is for him to get all jealous?'

"Whatever. I'm feeling hungry. I want to eat something," she said.

Nicole did not wish to continue the conversation with him after she had narrowly just escaped death. She just wanted to have a good meal.
