My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2008

Chapter 2008

"What's wrong with Lawrence?" Nicole asked, believing that Steve was not one to be wary of someone for no reason.

"Nothing's wrong. No matter what, he is still considered a stranger to all of us," he replied.

Even though he was the one who had saved Nicole, they could not take him as a close friend. They were of course grateful to him.

Hearing this, Nicole hesitantly nodded. "Understood."

Steve's attitude toward Lawrence was reasonable. Other than Nicole, Nolan, and Lana, it was possible that everyone else had the same thoughts as Steve too.

"Nicole, there are certain things in life which can only be felt from the heart. That which can be seen might not be the truth in its entirety. This is especially true for those who are good at putting on a mask. Their real intentions are the hardest to ascertain," Steve explained.

Nicole frowned a little. She felt that Steve was trying to remind her about something else. But when she turned over, Steve had already walked ahead with a calm look on his face. It was as if he had spoken those words casually.

Although Nicole could not fully comprehend it, she knew that Steve's words were uttered with genuine intentions.

Therefore, she replied, "Don't worry Steve. I will be wary."

Since it was a reminder, Steve would naturally be referring to the things or people around her. After all, San Joto was still considered as a dangerous place for Nicole. Other than her family members, she could not afford to trust anyone else easily.

"Your homecoming banquet is happening soon. Don't be too nervous on that day. We will be there and we'll help you out." Steve changed the topic, not wanting Nicole to dwell on his words.

A surge of warmth inundated Nicole's heart, and her eyes gleamed with joy.

Nodding, she said, "Got it."

As long as her family was always there to accompany her, Nicole would not be nervous or scared anymore.

The sun was setting, and soon, dusk descended upon them. After she had ended a day's work, Nicole ambled out of the office building.

"Mommy!" The two little cutie pies ran over with their tiny legs carrying them.
