My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404

Nicole did not notice Preston’s expression. Instead, she turned to look at Zeke as she suddenly remembered what he said in the car. “Seems like you are very dissatisfied with the training schedule I’ve set for you.”

Zeke did not expect her to remember. He immediately explained, “It isn’t that, Nicole. Just think about it. I need to be at the track by four-thirty. Doesn’t that mean I need to wake at four since I can only head there after washing up? I’ll be too tired for this…”

Zeke was still complaining. When he realized that Nicole had left, only did he want to chase after her. Nicole’s voice soon came over along with the breeze, “If you have any further objections, come at three-thirty tomorrow. Now, go back and sleep.”

Zeke pouted as he was somewhat unhappy. He dared not challenge Nicole’s authority, so he could only turn around and sheepishly walk to his own school. “Sigh, four o’clock is not too bad, I guess. If I sleep now, I at least can get five hours of sleep…”

After Preston got back to the Riddle family manor, he looked at the clock in the hall and found that it was already 11:00 p.m. He then walked toward his room, yet he saw Dillon and Karen’s room light was still on, and there seemed to be some discussion going on inside. Preston did not mind it as he walked past the room. However, when he reached the door on his way, it opened, and Karen’s dissatisfied voice came from inside.

“Why are you back this late?”

Preston stopped. He said impassively. “I dropped Nicole off at school before coming back.”

He never told his parents that he and Edwin had set up a company. Even when such a serious problem had occurred in the company, Preston had never thought of telling them.

Karen looked at her favorite son as a rare sullen look appeared on her face. “Nicole? Since when you got so close to her?”
