My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2048

He watched as the trio walked further away, eventually disappearing at the entrance, well away from sight. The air was cold around Lawrence, and he kept quiet, with nobody able to tell what was on his mind.

Concurrently, Jared got into the car with Nicole and Nolan outside of the restaurant.

Nolan quickly scooted over to the furthest end of the seat after Jared had released him, looking slightly awkward. 'It's such a weird feeling. I kind of hate this guy, but I felt something that I cannot explain when he was carrying me just now.'

Nicole bit her lips when she saw Jared igniting the engine. "Do you have someone or something to tend to? I can take Nolan home myself, actually."

He had probably left Max behind because he needed Max to take his place in a meeting. At the same time, Nicole became cognizant of why Jared had showed up at the restaurant. Mixed feelings arose within her when she realized that Jared had pushed his work aside just to take her and Nolan back home.

"Nolan had one too many cold drinks yesterday, so he ended up with an upset stomach when he was at school. He contacted Lawrence. Well, he's probably just used to it because he would contact Lawrence whenever something happened back then."

Nicole bit her lips again. She figured that she should offer Jared an explanation, but she carefully kept Nolan's plan a secret.

Jared and Nolan did not have the best father and son relationship, so she did not want to create more conflicts between the two of them.

"There won't be any cold drinks or food in the house from now on," Jared responded.

Since the kids should not be consuming them, there was no reason for cold food and drinks to exist in the house. It would be impossible for the kids to resist the temptation.

Nicole's lips twitched as she did not expect Jared to do such a thing.

Nolan put on a pitiful look as well. 'It's not like I can't eat them at all, I just can't eat too much of it! There goes my happiness.'

Jared looked really upset at that time, so all of them remained silent and kept to themselves.
