My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1828

Suddenly, the living room turned silent. Tia became so sensitive to her surroundings that she could actually hear her own heartbeat, "Mr. Riddle..."

She wanted to speak, but she had no idea what to say.

Stanley carefully looked at the blisters on her fingers and mumbled under his breath, "We've got to take care of this as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's going to hurt a lot."

"Okay...ouch," Tia nodded but she frowned when Stanley touched her wound with the cotton swab.

"I'll be gentler," Stanley's voice sounded so warm, that it instantly calmed Tia down.

'What's going on... I already have somebody else on my mind... But why is my heart beating like crazy now that Mr. Riddle cares for me?'

Tia felt very awkward. She did not dare to speak, and she even almost stopped breathing.

She only opened her mouth after Stanley applied the gel to her fingers and patched her up, "Thank you, Mr. Riddle."

Stanley shook his head, "Don't mention it. You're like my little sister. It's only right for us to take good care of you."

Tia immediately nodded and she was relieved.

'Ah, Mr. Riddle is only treating me as his little sister. I'm so glad."

"I'll go back to the room now then. I guess grandma is going to sleep soon."

"Sure," Stanley nodded and watched Tia leave.

Stanley got a little worried as he looked at Tia's back...

He wondered to himself, 'What's up with me? Was I doing too much....?'

At night, Nicole took a shower and went to her bed. She had no idea why, but she felt a little nervous when she thought about how her family was finally going to meet with Jared's family tomorrow even though everything was already planned.

She just could not help but feel perturbed when she was about to get married for real.

Then, she received a call from Lloyd.

Nicole hesitated, but she did not answer it.

She received an apology text on WhatsApp from Lloyd very soon after that.
