My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 

‘I figured he’d have poor foundations, but this is worse than I thought. Yet he still wants to learn martial arts?’ she thought. 

Zeke ran past Nicole for the third time and instantly fell right onto the ground. He refused to get up for the life of him. 

‘I can’t run anymore. If I continue running, I’ll depart from this beautiful world!’ he thought. 

Nicole looked at him; a faint spark glinted in her eyes. She did not help Zeke up but watched him coldly. 

Zeke was used to being babied by others; he had never experienced being given the cold shoulder when he was dying from exhaustion. He looked at Nicole with a slightly dissatisfied expression. However, his gaze was met by her sparkling eyes. 

She spoke, “Get up and continue running.” 

Zeke’s eyes welled up. He grew up pampered, so he could not handle such hardships. He wanted to learn martial arts simply because he thought Nicole looked cool. The truth was, he was not willing to go the distance. 

He gazed at Nicole’s face and used the three-step procedure that often made his father compromise-crying, throwing a tantrum, and running away from home. “I can’t run anymore! I simply cannot! I don’t want to run. Why won’t you just teach me martial arts!” 

Nicole’s expression turned cold. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Zeke indifferently. 

Zeke watched Nicole’s expression as his voice gradually grew quieter. In the end, he was completely silent. He could barely lift his head under her sharp gaze. 

Nicole only started speaking when she saw him quiet down. “This is how you handle the decisions that you’ve made. You give up when you’re tired, lie down when you’re upset, and throw a tantrum when you want others to compromise. Zeke, I would never have asked you to be my partner if I had known that this was your character.”
