My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1942

Chapter 1942

"Um...can you calculate how much you've lost? I'll compensate you generously. It's just that you're a wealthy guy and it's not easy for an orphan and a widow like me to make up for all the offense I've caused. I hope you have it in you to forgive me for all the stuff I've done," Niki suggested to avoid sullying her image in front of him any further.

Jared initially thought that she was referring to the affairs that happened today, but as it turned out, she had morphed into an entirely new person. She was more passive and coquettish in nature.

"That depends on how well you perform now," Jared deliberately teased.

Niki mentally sighed. 'As expected, this guy is not easy to fool.'

It would otherwise be impossible for Jared to trace Nicole down if she had not changed her identity. On the other hand, Niki had not foreseen the fact that Jared would be so meticulous when it came to his analyses and deductions.

However, Niki had no intention of exposing Leo, and thus she said, "I hacked into the local registration system because I had to register my son's birth into the system..."

Niki feigned pity and avoided eye contact as she spoke, afraid that she would be caught lying.

Jared looked at Nicole with an inexplicable surge of pain in his heart. He could not fathom the thought of her giving birth to a child alone at the hospital without him by her side.

Not wanting to press on any further, he said, "I see..."
