My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2017

Chapter 2017

Nicole had no right to ask Jared to be grateful for Lawrence's lifesaving help, but she would never forget it.

"I understand." Jared held Nicole's hand tight. Feelings were not a bargaining chip for repayment, especially since Nicole did not like Lawrence in that way.

"Ripple Corporation would have more collaborations with Genesis Group in the future. For either personal or professional gain, I'd have to keep in touch with him," Nicole explained, biting her lower lip while looking at Jared. Nicole wanted to explain this situation clearly, in hopes that Jared would understand.

Jared was originally depressed when Lawrence showed up with a bouquet of flowers for Nicole, but now he was relieved. With his eyebrows raised, Jared's eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint. "I'll reluctantly promise to let him go since you care so much about me."

Nicole's face had a shade of red and she gave Jared a slightly vexed glance. "Who cares about you? Stop being so presumptuous."

"Am I being presumptuous? Or are you unaware of your own feelings?" Jared had a devilish grin on his face.

Nicole's explanation showed that she cared about him and did not want him to imagine things. Although he still felt moody, not wanting anyone to covet her, he understood her reasoning. In both personal and professional aspects, Nicole would have to come in contact with Lawrence.

However, at least she was willing to explain, showing that he was important in her heart.

"Stop it with your nonsense," Nicole said, embarrassed. 'This man is unbelievable. How did it turn into me being the one with feelings?'
