My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1966

Chapter 1966

Looking at Nicole's reaction, Jared wanted to tease her even more. "Why are you so afraid of me getting this close to you? Is your heart... beating wildly?"

Jared stared at Nicole in the mirror and his eyes were seductive.

Nicole shivered under Jared's stare. She could not take it anymore, so she quickly turned to the side and took a sip of water. She dared not turn back to Jared's side. "I think it's almost time. Let's go."

Jared smiled, and did not continue disturbing her. "Yeah, let's go."

Nicole nodded and her gaze shifted to the kid's room. "What about Nolan? Should we bring him along?"

Jared shook his head. "I don't think we should. You'll need some getting used to the place. There's no need to bring the kids along to experience an unfamiliar place yet. We'll bring him next time."

Nicole knew that what Jared said made sense. Afterall, Nolan had been playing with Tia the whole day and they seemed to get along well. There was nothing for Nicole to be worried about. So, she got into the car with Jared.

The car slowly drove out of the house. Nicole stared at the scenery outside and emotions filled her.

Leo only knew that Nicole had an enemy in that country, but he did not know that her family was also there. She only went to the country once, and she had been back to the Riddle family already. That was such an unexpected fate.

Thinking of her enemy, Nicole looked at Jared.

If Jared was not her enemy... Then, who could it be?

After giving it some thought, Nicole asked, "Do I have any enemies here?"

Jared raised his eyebrow slightly and looked at her. "Why do you say so?"

Nicole did not intend to hide anything, so she tried to recall her memories and said, "Five years ago, I visited here in an attempt to regain my memory. However, I was attacked by someone. After that, for my kid's sake, I had never returned."

Jared's eyes filled with emotion.

That year, he could not find any trace of Nicole. How could anyone else have found her?

But Jared still answered her question. "You definitely have a few enemies."

Nicole immediately choked. After a while, she said, "It's not just one?"

"Of course." She was the owner of the Crest. On top of that, she killed one of The Raven's members before she went missing. It was possible that they were still seeking revenge.

"I see." Nicole remained silent. She did not know what else to ask.

"Don't worry. Now that I know about this, I'll make sure to find out who attacked you five years ago and teach them a lesson." The expression on Jared's face obviously implied that he was trying to find someone's fault.

Nicole felt touched by it. "I don't really care if that person was taught a lesson. I just want to know who they are.

Furthermore, if I were to return here with my kids in the future, I'd want to ensure that they're safe."

As a mother, this was the biggest worry Nicole had.

Jared stared at Nicole. "Don't worry. I'll send my men to protect you wherever you go. I won't allow anyone to hurt you or the kids."

Nicole looked at Jared and felt a lot more relaxed in her heart.

'I have to admit that Jared is a responsible man. He's nice to the kids too.

'Forget it. What am I thinking about?

'I should take care of important things first.'

Soon, they had arrived at the Riddle family manor.

When Nicole got out of the car, she noticed that there were quite a number of cars at the house. It seemed like there were quite a lot of people there.

As Jared led Nicole in, he explained, "You have three uncles. For such occasions, your uncles, aunties and cousins would

all be here."

"Oh." Nicole nodded. Then, she hurriedly asked, "How was my relationship with them?"

Jared paused for a moment and smiled. "Barely great."

Nicole was a smart cookie. She immediately understood what Jared meant.

From the looks of it, they might be her relatives, but they were not really close.
