My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2713

Chapter 2713

"Forget it. Let's not talk about it anymore. We should be happy that we've finally caught the culprit who was trying to screw with me," Nicole said, slowly regaining her composure.

"That's right, and this deserves a celebration," Lulu agreed.

She too had come to the conclusion that Chloe was reaping what she sowed.

"Mommy!" Nolan and Lana shouted as they pounced on Nicole, who went on to ruffle their hair.

"You're back," she greeted.

"Mummy, you came back so early today," they said, as they were used to arriving home before she did.

"Yep, I took half a day off," Nicole replied without giving them an explanation.

"Hi, Nicole," Tia came over to greet Nicole. 'Til get going then."

Tia figured that since the kids had arrived home safely, she should return to her house at the back.

"Tia, please stay back and have dinner with us," June invited.

"Let's eat together. You should bring Mrs. Wallace Sr. along with you as well," Lulu echoed.

"No, I better get..."

Tia was about to decline their invitation when Nicole interrupted her and said, "No worries. It's a gathering today.

You should join us."

With everyone extending her a warm welcome, Tia figured that she had no choice but to accept their invitation.

During dinner, everyone in the family gathered in the dining room.

Samuel and Spencer were taking care of June and Lulu, while Nicole and Jared were whispering to each other, talking about something not within earshot of the rest. Tia and Stanley were the only ones who were awkwardly silent at the dining table.

Upon noticing how silent Tia was, Gloria said, "Come on, Tia. Don't be shy with us."

"Thanks," Tia nodded, but she continued grabbing the dishes that were within her reach only.
