My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 3034

Chapter 3034

Ellar's tired and downcast appearance immediately caught Dexter and Emma's attention, deepening their concern.

"Mom, Dad, why are you just getting back?" Ellar asked with a hint of confusion.

"We were visiting your Uncle Daniel," Dexter responded. He then turned the conversation towards Ellar's late arrival, "Why are you out so late again? What's keeping you?"

Ellar gave a half-hearted response, "Just had to work some overtime."

Dexter frowned, not convinced. "That's not true. You weren't at the office when it closed, and there wasn't any overtime scheduled."

Ellar looked taken aback. "How did you know?" He had left the office early, using overtime as an excuse to avoid questions from his parents, not knowing how else to explain his actions.

Emma gently explained their concern to Ellar, "We've noticed you're not yourself these days, and it's worrying US. That's why your dad went to check at your office. We just want to know if everything's alright."

Ellar scrambled for an excuse, "It's just some business dinners."

Dexter let out a sigh, "Look, we understand if there are things you can't share with US. But if you're struggling, maybe talking to Nicole would help. She might be able to assist you."

Emma chimed in with understanding, "We're not trying to pry, but we're genuinely concerned about you."

Ellar felt a pang of guilt, "Mom, Dad, please don't worry about me. I'm really fine, and so is the business. If something comes up that I can't handle, I'll speak to Nicole." "That's reassuring to hear," Emma said. "Maybe you should consider dropping by the headquarters tomorrow." She knew they couldn't push Ellar for more, so she offered a gentle suggestion instead.

Ellar nodded. "Alright, I'll do that."

Dexter and Emma felt somewhat relieved. Knowing that Ellar was open to discussing his issues, even if not with them directly, lifted a weight off their hearts. The idea of him not having to shoulder his troubles alone was comforting.
