My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Bloodline was something amazing. Even though Gloria had not seen Nicole for many years, she could recognize the girl in front of her to be Nicole, her biological daughter, at first glance. 

Nicole also had this special feeling. So, when Gloria rushed over and hugged her, she did not resist. 

“Oh, Nicole, I have finally found you.” Gloria choked up. “It was my fault for not protecting you well enough. I was to blame for your abduction.” 

So, her abduction was real. 

Nicole used to wonder why her family abandoned her. Was it because she was a daughter? Now knowing that her loved ones cared about her, Nicole’s heart softened, and the look on her face was not as stony as when they first met. 

“Mom, let sis sit down first. We have come all the way home, and she should be tired by now.” Sean reminded Gloria thoughtfully. 

“Right, right. I am just too happy.” Gloria agreed but did not let go of her grip. She sat Nicole down. 

Seeing the entire family surrounding Nicole, a hint of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the girl next to them. But the girl quickly put on a smile. “Nicole must be thirsty. Let me pour you a glass of water.” 

Only then everyone remembered the girl, Norah Riddle. Seeing Norah so thoughtful, Gloria could not help but feel warmhearted. “Norah is so thoughtful.” 

Norah looked a little bashful as she said, “My sister has just returned from the countryside. I should take care of her more.” 

“Thanks.” Nicole shot her a glance as she took the glass from Norah. 

Sean noticed Nicole’s gaze and made the introduction. “Nicole, this is Norah, whom I have mentioned on the way.” 

“Ahh,” Nicole responded. 

Sean mentioned that Gloria and Daniel had not continued to look for Nicole because they had found a child with a birthmark behind her ear in the third year of Nicole’s abduction. So, they mistook Norah as their daughter and did not continue the search. 

It was not until recently that the police suddenly informed them that the DNA data uploaded years ago had a match. The Riddle family knew they had identified the wrong person. But Norah had been in the Riddle family for so many years, and Gloria and Daniel could not bear to send her away summarily. So, they let Norah stay, promising to help her find her family later. 

In other words, they would need to spend some time under the same roof. 

“Nice to meet you, Nicole.” Norah held out her hand with a friendly smile. 

Nicole had a cold temperament and did not like physical contact with people. She was not too warmed up to seeing her parents again, let alone facing strangers. So, she ignored Norah’s hand and just nodded at her. “Nice to meet you.” 

Norah’s hand stayed in the air, and she looked at Gloria and Daniel with a hint of hurt feeling in her eyes. It was like Nicole had bullied her. 

Sean frowned. “Nicole is introverted. Please don’t mind.” 

Norah bit her lip with a stoic but thoughtful look. “I understand. I have lived using her identity for so many years. She has a reason to hate me. I am fine, Sean.”
