My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287 

‘He ran slower than I thought. If I don’t go back now, I won’t be able to make it,’ she thought. 

Zeke could tell that Nicole was being serious. He felt a little resigned. 

‘Who would believe that a top-tier hacker like her was actually a law-abiding student?’ he thought. 

Just as he was about to jog over to her, he was stopped by the numbing pain coming from his legs. Zeke shouted anxiously when he saw Nicole leaving, “Wait up, Nicole!” 

When Zeke saw Nicole stop and turn to him with a confused expression, he quickly dragged his handicapped leg and walked over to her. He dug through his pocket for a while before retrieving an ordinary-looking black box. “Here, this is for you.” 

Nicole did not accept it. She narrowed her eyes at Zeke and said coldly, “Where did you get this?” 

Zeke reached out and grabbed Nicole’s hand before placing the item into her palm. He was all smiles and said, “My father consented to it. Consider it my tuition fee.” Zeke shuddered when he thought of Karlo’s furious expression when he saw him rummaging through the boxes and cabinets back home. However, Karlo’s anger instantly subsided when he found out that it was about sending Nicole a gift. He even proceeded to search for a gift with Zeke while reminding him to gift the item properly and to bring up his name in front of Nicole. 

Zeke was not afraid of his father’s threats, but he was still a little scared of his fists. 

Nicole stared at the black box in her hand and stopped refusing the gift. ‘Since this was a gift from Commander Guzman, refusing it would seem a little rude,’ she thought. 

She lightly nodded at Zeke before walking toward the classroom and saying, “Remember to do some stretches when you get home. Otherwise, you won’t be able to finish the fifteen laps tomorrow.” 

Zeke looked dumbfounded. His face gradually shifted from one that was expressionless to fury. 

“Nicole, you idiot! Return that thing to me!”
