My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2022

Chapter 2022

"You don't have to wear them to work," Jared reassured calmly. Her comfort was the most important to him.

Nicole nodded, thinking, 'I avoid wearing them to work. Though I have to wear them during important occasions.'

The small talk during the massage made Nicole's uneasiness gradually fade away. She felt Jared's tenderness, as if a feather brushed across her heart, making her heartthrob.

Nicole looked at Jared's soft eyes and gentle movement. Even though he was helping her massage to relieve the soreness on her feet, his expression was as if he was taking care of something precious to him.

She bit her lip and whispered, "Thank you."

Jared looked up and met Nicole's eyes, but she averted her gaze, unable to maintain eye contact. Her face blushed even redder.

Her blushed face and shy demeanor made Jared smirk meaningfully. He had a bad plan in mind. "That's all I get? If you really wanted to thank me, shouldn't you be more sincere?"

"Sincere?" Nicole frowned. She was grateful to him. What else did she need to do to express her gratitude?

She directed her confused gaze toward Jared and saw him staring at her lips. Nicole's cheeks burned and rolled her eyes at Jared. "I'm going to sleep now."

Nicole lay down and pulled the blanket over her. She even moved toward the bedside in that wrapped position, wanting to stay farther away from Jared.

Jared could not help but chuckle at Nicole's adorable gesture.

Hearing his laughter, Nicole uncovered the blanket and glared at Jared, embarrassed. "You should go to sleep too."
