My Wife is a Hacker by Summer Chapter 870
Chapter 870 Sean was flattered and hastened to humble himself and praise Nicole. "It's mainly because Nicole knows Mr. Harmon. Otherwise, we wouldn'tnecessarily have won the tender, no matter how beautifully done the bid documents were." "You know Mr. Harmon?" Jared asked , looking over at Nicole in surprise.
"Do you remember when I saved an old gentleman in the hospital earlier?" Nicole helped Jared recall what had happened.
"I remember that."
"That old gentleman is Mr. Harmon's father." After Nicole explained this, Jared immediately understood.
"Looks like you weren't wasting your time that day." Jared joked.
"What are you talking about? I didn't even know about the old gentleman's relationship with Mr. Harmon.
Besides, I didn't save him because of Mr. Harmon." Nicole hurriedly explained herself, afraid that Jared would think it was a premeditated act.
"I know. I was just teasing you on purpose." "Aegis Corporation is still quite demanding, project wise.
If you need any help, just let me know." Jared looked at Daniel and Sean.
"Thanks a lot, Mr.Johnston."
"The meal is ready.
Come and eat." Gloria came into the living room to tell everyone.
"Jared, I didn't know what you like to eat, so I picked something Nicole likes and made some.
Nicole is alwavs with vou, so I thouaht perhaps what she likes, vou mioht like too."Gloria "Thanks a lot, Mr.Johnston."
"The meal is ready. Come and eat." Gloria came into the living room to tell everyone.
"Jared, I didn't know what you like to eat, so I picked something Nicole likes and made some.
Nicole is always with you, so I thought perhaps what she likes, you might like too."Gloria smiled and explained, worried that Jared would think too much.
"You're right.
Whatever Nicole likes to eat, I like too." Jared inadvertently acted lovey-dovey in front of the elders.
Nicole hurriedly fetched him some food to hide her bashfulness.
"Try it. My mom's cooking is delicious."
Jared took a bite.
"It tastes great, better than what a five star chef cooks." "Eat a little more if youlike it.
I can tell you have lost some weight lately." Gloria's face beamed when she heard Jared compliment her on the delicious cooking.
After the meal, Jared sat for a while before leaving.
Daniel and Gloria saw him out and invited him to come again when he was not busy." The family sat around the couch talking.
After seeing Jared out, Daniel was nowhere to be seen.
Nicole guessed he was in his room.
She came in front of the room and gave it a knock.
"Come in." "Dad, why aren't you in the hall chatting with us? What are you doing here alone?" Nicole walked in and saw a preoccupied father sitting inhis chair in deep thought.
"Nicole, there's something you may not know yet; recently your mother and Norah have been in contactfrequently.
Norah's parents met with a car accident, and both are now hospitalized.
So no one is taking care of Norah." Daniel hesitated for a long time but decided thathe should tell her.
Once Nicole heard this, and after associating it with Gloria's strange behavior on the last two occasions, it all made sense.
"How are they?" "They are injured, but the good thing is, it's not life threatening." "Your mom is too soft-hearted.
When Norah had hysterics, your mom gave her half a million dollars privately.
At first, she kept that from me.
But when I found out, she told me she could not bring herself not to help Norah because she had raised Norah for over tenyears." Daniel sighed helplessly.
