My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2003

Chapter 2003

"Daddy and Mommy will take you guys out to play when we have the time," Nicole said dejectedly.

"Mommy is the best!" Lana cheered.

Meanwhile, Nolan glanced at Jared, revealing a hint of reluctance deep within. Needless to say, he preferred going out with Lawrence.

Jared noticed the look on Nolan's face and felt a little helpless within. 'This little brat can never measure up to my baby angel. Daughters are truly the best!'

The family chatted happily for a while after that, and when it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

After putting Nolan and Lana to bed, Nicole returned to her room, where she saw Jared looking out the window as if he was thinking about something.

He only turned to Nicole after he had heard some noises." Are they asleep?"

"Yeah," Nicole said in a tone of defeat. "They got too excited just now and it took them some time to fall asleep."

"You should go to bed now too," Jared advised, figuring that Nicole must have been exhausted following her abrupt return to the Riddle Corporation.

"Sure." Nicole nodded.

Then, she asked, "What about you? Are you not going to sleep?"

But after uttering those words, she felt an instant pang of regret. 'What did I just say? It sounded as if I was asking him to sleep with me.'

A subtle smile appeared on Jared's face as he playfully said, "I'm waiting for my lady's consent."

Feeling very embarrassed, she glared at Jared in annoyance. "Who's your lady? And what makes you think I care if you're going to sleep or not? I'm going to bed now."

After saying that, Nicole laid down on the bed and pulled the blanket over to wrap herself tightly like a burrito.
