My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359

At the end of her name, Nicole would habitually carve her signature, as if she was writing an S.
Alongside Nicole’s rigid handwriting, it was strangely beautiful. Gary, who had just walked out, too saw that scene. When he saw the S left behind at each signature, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. After completing the signing, Nicole returned to Jared’s side. Seeing the two were about to leave, one of the fans asked with a whisper.
“Will you be coming back here to race again?”
Nicole did not turn back, her voice was faint, and quickly faded with the wind.
“No.”
Gary heard the answer from afar, and inexplicably felt lost for a moment. ‘She won’t be coming back?’
Without stepping forward, Gary simply just watched as Nicole left with Jared, feeling as if something had been hollowed out in his heart.
The two got into the car and Jared was still smiling. He started the car as his fingers tapped gently on the steering wheel, looking very slothful. Nicole noticed that he seemed to be very happy, and a smile appeared in her eyes. She felt the cool early autumn wind slowly blowing in her face as she took in the familiar scent of cedar and subconsciously closed her eyes. When she woke up again, it was already dark as she nonchalantly took off the coat on her. After falling asleep beside Jared for a few times, it did not seem all too awkward for Nicole now.
Her expression was impassive, but she still felt chagrined deep down. Her usual caution and alertness were seemingly gone beside him. Nicole then looked up as she met the man’s deep, black eyes. When Jared saw her wake up, the light in his eyes slowly gleamed like a star in the night, bright yet warm. “You’re awake.”
Nicole nodded as she handed him his coat, her voice still hoarse from waking up.
“What’s the time now?”
Jared casually looked at the watch and said faintly. “It’s still early, not past closing time yet.” ‘It’s already ten o’clock?’ Nicole did not think she would be able to sleep for so long as a rare hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
When Jared looked at her like that, the smile in his eyes radiated even more. As he looked at
her beautiful eyes, his voice subconsciously became so much gentler.
“I was just pulling your leg. It’s only eight o’clock.” Nicole looked at him. There was no anger in her eyes, but instead there was a hint of helplessness.
She was worried that he was waiting here for too long. Jared seemingly could tell what she was thinking and sighed a little, as he looked at Nicole very seriously in the eyes.
“You don’t have to be so considerate.”
Nicole looked at him with some confusion and the look in his eyes could not help but to become gentler.
“I do not wish to be a burden to you.” She should be carefree before him and did not need to think about other people and things, rather than be so concerned about his feelings all the time. Nicole did not agree with that point of view as she gently grabbed his hand and shook it a little. “Do you think our feelings aren’t the same? You need to think both ways.”
What she meant was that she was unable to not think about his feelings.
Understanding what she meant, Jared looked at her left hand holding onto his right as he silently held her hand tightly.
