My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2012

Chapter 2012

Though Jared was rejected by Nicole, he still felt really good about himself as he considered that Nicole's sullen look was strangely cute.

"Haha." Jared let out a sarcastic laugh before letting out a low laugh.

Feeling a little hot, Nicole's cheeks became even redder, and her heartbeat quickened.

As the cool night breeze blew through her hair, Nicole did not dare to make eye contact with Jared. Nicole was scared to meet his eyes, afraid that she would get lost in them.

"Tell me about your stay at Crescent Island," Jared requested as he gently combed Nicole's hair.

Jared felt regretful he was unable to be by Nicole's side, but he wanted to know how they lived.

"It's nothing special. I occasionally do my missions, while the rest of my time is spent taking care of Nolan and Lana," Nicole said lightly.

Though Nicole said it like it was nothing, Jared knew that it must have been very tough for her to live alone with two children.

"In the future, it won't be as hard anymore." Jared gently hugged Nicole's shoulders, vowing to himself that he would share the burden with Nicole and not let her go through it alone.

The weight of Jared's arms made it hard to breathe, but the warmth filled Nicole's heart. It was as if she magically gained certainty from the hug.

Nicole turned to look at Jared, staring into his deep eyes that were once mysterious but now were filled with reassurance, making her feel safe. Nicole curled her lips. She did not respond to Jared's words. Instead, she felt more at peace by being next to him.

As the night rolled in, Jared and Nicole brought the twins back to the Riddle residence. They were already fast asleep. After settling the twins down, Jared and Nicole slipped into bed.
