My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2157

Chapter 2157

Nicole was well aware that she and Lawrence had and would always just be friends. Lawrence, on the other hand, was becoming more reserved and had started to hide things from her, so she did not feel the need to ask about his affairs. Although she was curious as to why he had lied about his whereabouts, she did not want to clarify anything with him. She did not feel the need to anyway.

Lawrence squinted as she sensed that something was off with Nicole. He had only been away for a few days, yet it felt as if Nicole had changed, becoming somewhat of a stranger that he could not read.

Thinking about what he had just witnessed earlier, Lawrence felt a knot forming in his heart. 'Is it because of Jared?'

"Leo?" Nicole called out to Lawrence, snapping him out of his stupor.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Nothing. You must be busy since you've just come back, so I just wanted to ask if you need anything else." Nicole asked with a frown. 'Why was he staring into space just now?'

It was rather obvious that Nicole was indirectly asking him to leave, which caused Lawrence's expression to stiffen.

"Nah, I just came to see you." Lawrence could only continue saying, "All good now, so I'll be making a move."

Nicole frowned as she looked at Lawrence. 'Why did he seem so absent-minded just now?'

"Alright, you can always give me a call if you need anything," Nicole said, standing up to see Lawrence off.

At the door, however, Lawrence said, "I'll head off on my own. You're busy with work anyway."

"Okay," Nicole nodded in acknowledgment and watched as Lawrence left before returning to her seat.

Nicole's gaze deepened as she bit her lip again. For some reason, she could not shake the feeling that Lawrence was acting strangely back there. However, she just could not put her finger on what it was and why.

'Did something happen when he was abroad? Did he get into some trouble or something?'

Even after giving it plenty of thought, Nicole still had no answers, so she had no choice but to give up and focus on her work. That was when she picked the documents up and got busy with them.

Meanwhile, Lawrence had already left the Riddle Corporation.
