My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 

Jared placed the clean dishes into the cabinet. He then heard Nicole’s confused voice, “Why don’t you use the dishwasher?” 

She noticed the dishwasher in the kitchen the last time she came, but Jared did not seem to like using it. 1 

Jared’s fingers froze for a moment before putting the last plate away as if nothing had happened. Then only did he turn around to dry his hands while saying indifferently, “I always feel like doing things by hand makes me feel more at home.” 

Nicole was startled. She did not expect such an answer. This answer seemed a little strange coming from a man like Jared Johnston. However, it was oddly fitting at the same time. 

For instance, the plaid apron tied to his waist. The red and black Scottish style was not intended for him, yet it looked elegant on him. When Jared noticed Nicole’s silence, he turned around and walked toward her with slight worry in his eyes. 

“Not feeling well?” 

Nicole chuckled. She was just thinking about something and spaced out, “I’m not that weak.” 

She was not lying; her physique was definitely top tier. ‘I’m all better now after being unconscious for only a while. I’m fine.’ she thought. Jared frowned disapprovingly. He wanted to say something, but Nicole had turned around and was headed upstairs, “Good night, Jared.” ‘Since he’s worried about me, I’ll sleep earlier.’ she thought. Jared watched her retreating figure and smiled. It looked warm under the glow of the dim yellow wall lamp. He suddenly had the illusion that she belonged here. 

He thought of what he had just said and gently held the fingers on his right hand. 

Just as he stood unmoving, the woman upstairs suddenly stopped moving. She had an indifferent expression, yet her gaze toward Jared was incredibly gentle. “You should sleep early too. By the way, you look good in this apron.” She said before walking to her room, leaving Jared looking at his apron resignedly.
