My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1995

Nicole's expression appeared to be a little uneasy as she looked at Jared's teasing gaze. Although he managed to guess her thoughts, she understood the hidden meaning behind his words too, implying that she could miss him.

Her heart beat faster, and she subconsciously looked away, avoiding direct eye contact with Jared. 'It could get really difficult to deal with this guy sometimes,' she thought to herself.

Seeing how nervous Nicole got, Jared subtly curved his lips. Although he was eating dinner alone, the food tasted unusually good.

After finishing his meal, Jared followed Nicole back to the room.

Nicole frowned with resentment. "Actually, you don't have to stay here with me."

The estate was so near and so much bigger, yet Jared would still cramp into a room with her. Nicole just did not feel comfortable with it.

However, Jared did not want to let any opportunity to be alone with her slip away. So he said confidently, "It's livelier here."

Of course, Jared would be wherever Nicole was, and he did not want to leave her, not even for a single moment.

Nicole rolled her eyes at Jared and grabbed a blanket before throwing it at him. "This is yours. Remember, do not cross the line."

Upon saying that, Nicole pulled her own blanket over and wrapped herself up, lying with her back facing Jared. She genuinely did not want Jared to get close to her.

Jared looked a little helpless after he had been brushed aside. However, he was glad that he was not chased out of the room. He had no other choice but to accept his fate and lay down.

Although the person he had been thinking about for nights and days was right before his eyes, all he could do was sleep while hugging the blanket. It was simply frustrating for him as he wondered to himself, 'When will days like this ever come to an end?'

Very soon, he heard gentle breathing fill the room. So, he sighed and slowly shut his eyes.
