My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2799

Chapter 2799

Jared lifted Lana up and made his way to the couch, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"We're home,” he greeted Daniel and Gloria as soon as he had sat down with Lana.

After a while, Nicole came over with Nolan and joined them on the couch.

After glancing around, she asked, "Mom, is Stanley not back yet?"

"No, he said there's a seminar tonight, so he won't be back for dinner," Gloria explained. "There's no need to wait for Stanley. Let's go ahead and eat."

"Okay," they agreed, whereupon the group headed to the dining room, save for the twins, who tottered their way upstairs while the four adults had their dinner.

"I heard Ellar got injured. What happened?" Daniel asked Nicole.

As expected, the sudden question from her father surprised Nicole. "Dad, how did you know?!"

She had not told anyone except forthose present on the day of the incident. Thus, she was surprised that Daniel had gotten wind of it.

"I overheard Samuel mentioning it, but when I asked for details, he refused to say anything," Daniel explained.

Because of this, his curiosity grew, leading him to want to know more about what had really happened.

"Oh, he got a minor gash by accident. Nothing serious, but he's afraid that his parents might get too worried about him, so he told them he went abroad, even though he is currently staying in the office." Nicole explained, omitting the fact that the injury was severe and the reason for which he had been injured in the first place.

"Ah, his mom is going to be very worried, alright." Gloria nodded in agreement. "It's good that he's staying in the office and returning only once he has fully recovered."

"But all he does is work. How did he get scratched?" Daniel asked, still puzzled.

According to Samuel, the injury seemed quite severe.

"An accident happened when we went out for dinner the other day. Otherwise, Samuel wouldn't have known either." Nicole explained, making up another excuse.
