My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2178

His gaze was so dark that it was impossible to discern his thoughts.

The three of them greeted Gloria and plonked themselves on the couch.

"You're back." Gloria's eyes narrowed into a smile. "I thought you would stay until the evening."

"We came back after having lunch." Nicole sat down and proceeded to express her concern for Gloria. "Why are you sitting here instead of resting upstairs?"

"I suddenly felt restless and could not sleep, so I sat here for a while." Gloria then shot a glance at the window. "Jared brought you back just now, didn't he? Why did he not come in?"

"He has something to do at work, so he went off to deal with them," Nicole explained.

"He has something to tend to on a weekend?" Gloria asked, surprised.

Gloria was puzzled. "What sort of unexpected occurrence could the Johnston Group be forced to deal with?"
