My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 3069

Chapter 3069

"You shouldn't drink so much when you can't handle it," Martin said with a hint of helplessness.

Supporting Cindy proved to be quite a challenge, so he ended up carrying her back to her apartment.

After he laid her down on the bed and tucked her in, Martin went to the kitchen.

He made some lemon ginger tea and helped Cindy drink it, making sure she finished it all before feeling a bit better.

"Just try to sleep it off. You'll feel better in the morning," Martin said, putting the empty bowl away, ready to head out.

Suddenly, Cindy grabbed onto the edge of his clothes, muttering something.

Struggling to make out her words, Martin leaned in closer to hear her better.

"Martin, don't you get how I feel? Why do you seem so cold?

"I'm leaving. I won't bother you anymore. I'm going back to get married. I hope you find happiness...

"Martin, why don't you care about me?"

While Martin was listening to Cindy's disjointed words, his frown deepened. 'She's going back to get married? Why didn't she mention this before?'

Standing up slowly, Martin felt a strange mix of emotions swirling inside him, making his steps feel heavy.

Cindy rolled over, her voice choked with emotion, and it took a while before she drifted back into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, in the lab, Martin was deep into his work when he heard Nicole saying that Lulu had left her backpack behind.

Glancing up, he casually suggested, "I think I saw it; let Cindy fetch it for you."

But as soon as he said Cindy's name, Martin suddenly stopped, realizing his mistake-Cindy wouldn't be coming by anymore. After a short pause, he stood up awkwardly. "I'll get it." "No need; just tell me where it is. I'll grab it myself," Nicole said, aware that interrupting Martin's ongoing experiment would be inconvenient.

"Okay, it's on the table outside,' Martin directed her.

"I won't bother you anymore. I'll just get it and go," Nicole said before picking up the backpack and leaving.

Alone in the lab, Martin felt an unusual emptiness and solitude fill the space.
