My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217

“Thank you for telling me so much.” Jared seemed to wake up from a dream after hearing what Nicole said, his smile on his face saying that he felt appreciated, and his expression looked much warmer now.

The light in the cold ice had finally been lit up.

He looked at Nicole’s beautiful face, and his fingers felt like wanting to touch her involuntarily.

He did, and he gently stroked her cheek with his fingers with a dream-like expression on his face.

“Thank you, Nicole,” he said.

Nicole did not refuse his touch.

She calmly raised her hand to take his somewhat cold hand in hers.

“In reciprocal, I will tell you something about me,” she said.

“Before returning to the

Riddle family, my adoptive parents cared little about me.

I grew up in the company of my grandma.

We were poor, and she sold junk scavenged from the garbage to make a living and pay for my tuition fees.

Because the clothes I wore always did not fit me, I was laughed at and looked down upon, and because I was skinny, I was always bullied by those who were younger than me.”

Nicole looked at Jared.

She was talking about her unpleasant memories, but the look on her face was nonchalant as if it did not affect her at all.

She continued.

“But I still grew up well.

Those people are now far away from my life, and my childhood may follow me all my life, but I will never cocoon myself and live in those painful memories because of those people and things that are not worth it.” There was a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, as if she had thought of something.

Jared looked at her with some kind of unspeakable emotion in his eyes.

Her composure and calmness in her soul were the things that attracted him.
