My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1283

Chapter 1283

"Remember what I said on the rooftop at the base?" Harvey looked Nicole in the eye, and the two locked eyes, sharing a relieved smile.

Jared was watching them when he suddenly interrupted their fond memories.

"Shouldn't you share such a delicious cake with everyone?"

Having bested Jared by a slight margin, Harvey glanced at him with a smug look on his face. "What is the hurry? We will share the cake right away."

"Nicole, you make the first cut." Harvey handed Nicole a table knife.

"Me?"

"Yeah."

Nicole took the knife and thought about it for a moment, after which she turned to Kelly and beckoned her over. "Come over, Kelly."

Then, she he looked at Kelly and Harvey. "Since we are celebrating the return of all three of US, it is only right that we cut the cake together. Come on, let's do it together.”

“Okay.” Harvey looked at her and grabbed her hand while Jared watched on.

The three of them proceeded to cut the cake together, after which Harvey took the knife from Nicole, took the first slice of cake, and handed it to Nicole. "Here you go."

Nicole gladly accepted, while Jared watched without uttering a word, though he was quite upset.

Then, Harvey cut the second slice of cake and handed it to Kelly.

"Other than Nicole, you are the only woman here.”

Harvey knew that he had screwed up. He was too engrossed in the conversation and had totally forgotten about Jared's presence, allowing him to exploit the situation.

As expected, Nicole turned to Jared with a look of sadness in her eyes.

"The reason we came back this time round is that, when we were manufacturing chips abroad, my proposed solution didn't work. I was so frustrated that I decided to return home.” Nicole confided her frustrations in him as soon as she looked at him.

Jared finally understood why Nicole had been wearing the frown from the time he saw her until now.

As it turned out, something had been bothering her. "I didn't know that. Can you show me your proposal later?"

Nicole glanced at Jared in surprise, then she remembered what he had told her before.

She smiled. "Okay."
