My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 837

Chapter 837 

“I appreciate your hard work. I‘ll buy you guys a coffee another day.” Nicole turned off the computer and left.

“Glad to know you have got him. We won‘t see you out.” Edwin and Preston fell asleep at their computer desks after Nicole left.

Once out of Preston‘s company, Nicole looked at the time; it was 1.00 am. Going back to the campus and home was out of the question , so she could only go to Jared‘s place.

It was a sunny and breezy morning the next day.

Jared stretched out and headed downstairs. Just as he came to the staircase landing, he vaguely saw someone lying on the couch in the living room. Jared was stunned, wondering who had broken into his house early in the morning without triggering the security alarm.

He reached for a club, sneaked toward the living room, and came behind the couch. Jared held the club in one hand and pulled the throw pillow the person was sleeping on.

Nicole was sleeping, but when she sensed someone approaching, she became alert and ready to strike at any time, just waiting for the attacker to pull her throw pillow, and she would quickly subdue the person.

As Jared pulled the throw pillow away, and before he could strike with the club in his hand, he was kicked to the floor.

Nicole heard the familiar voice and got up. “Jared?” She hurried up to help him.

Jared heard Nicole‘s voice and looked over with a painful expression. “Nicole?”

Nicole helped him to sit down on the couch. “Why did you sneak up on me like a thief in the early morning?”

“How do you still have the nerve to ask me this question? Why didn‘t you inform me you had come? I thought it was an uninvited guest.”

“You really hit me hard; my hand is still numb.” Jared glanced at his hand, which was still shivering, wondering how much force Nicole had used.

“You can‘t blame me; you could have dodged.”
