My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1514

And just like that, Nicole was whisked away from her abode by Jared. On her way out, she was overwhelmed as she saw the never-ending influx of gifts that people had sent her.

'I guess it is good to leave the house for a breather,' Nicole thought.

"Why, you seem unhappy?" Jared asked, noticing that Nicole kept staring out the window.

Nicole shot him a glance and said, "It's not a good thing. What is there to be happy about?"

Jared glanced at her with an expression of admiration on his face. 'This is exactly why I like her. No matter how much skill and influence she possesses, she does not give in to flattery nor humiliation. She does not value power and knows when to draw a line, where she could assess the situation she is faced with rationally.'

Jared then went on to comfort her. "Anyone else in your position with the privilege of being able to establish connections with so many influential families would also be filled with anxiety. Now that you have the Reby Family Crest, you're now the one at the helm of the alliance with these influential families at your beck and call. Still, it is a burden you must carry, and you will be the only one feeling its weight."

Nicole took a deep breath. "It's because these people care only to build connections while I wish to find out who is behind all of this. If I don't, much of the world will be in chaos, and no one will be able to escape from it."

Jared stared at Nicole as his eyes darkened. "I know you're in a position of great power, but you can't always put yourself in danger for the sake of others.'

'There has to be balance in everything in this world. Now that she has acquired the crest, she can't simply put herself at risk and not take advantage of the benefits that come along with it,' he thought.

"You can't judge a book by its cover. You never know when these people will come in handy. Perhaps some of them could help you track where all of the Braves had gone to," he added.
