My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2785

Chapter 2785

'Ellar often looks like a sad, miserable kid. He looks like he's gullible and easy to trick, but he's actually really sly. He is getting Mr. Johnston to take Ms. Riddle home, so I don't have to. But just because I'm not the one taking Ms. Riddle home, doesn't mean I'll give him the chance to hang out with me alone.'

Patricia took a deep breath and sat down calmly, acting like everything was normal as she waited for the dishes to be served.

Ellar stole a quick glance at her. Seeing that she was not acting weirdly, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Patricia was too clever to not have seen through his plan, but there would be nothing for him to worry about as long as Patricia was not mad or anything.

After everyone had been seated, the waiter proceeded to bring the food in, whereupon they began eating. The air in the room had gotten a little tense the moment Jared showed up, but everyone tried to keep their discomfort under wraps.

After a bit, Jared took Nicole with him and left the restaurant. With them gone, the atmosphere became even livelier as everyone got louder.

After Jared and Nicole had exited the restaurant, Jared looked at her. "You're still hungry, right?"

He noticed that she had not eaten much before the two of them left the premises, and figured that she had not had enough.

Nicole smiled. "You know, it gets difficult for everyone to relax and enjoy their food with you around. Let's head somewhere else."

"A little date just for the both of us," Jared smirked.

Nicole gave Jared a playful look and linked her arm with his as they got into the car. "Why did you agree to Ellar’s request?"

She was genuinely curious. Though she knew it was Ellar's idea, she could not help but wonder why Jared had agreed.

"Well, I am the in-law," Jared said as if it was an obvious fact, and as if it was not a big deal for him to look after his cousin-in-law.
