My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1541

Nicole observed Lloyd's look of surprise, and was unable to hold herself back from raising her brows. "Are you that happy...?"

"Yes!' Lloyd pursed his lips, as there was a feeling of indescribable excitement in his heart. 'At the very least, this shows that Nicole doesn't really hate me!'

"Then it's a deal. I hope you won't turn your back on the promise." Lloyd stared at Nicole deeply, as if he was afraid that she would go back on her word.

Nicole nodded. "Of course, I am a person of my words."

Lloyd was all too familiar with Nicole's stubbornness and determination as well. 'She will definitely do as she has said or else, she won't be at ease.'

"Don't worry. I'll return the things you've entrusted to me, and more as soon as possible," he said.

Nicole nodded and replied, "Okay."

After she had spoken, she raised her wine glass in a gesture of toast.

"What were you guys talking about?" Harvey asked, appearing out of nowhere as he scrutinized both Nicole and Lloyd.

Now that Lloyd was aware of Nicole's identity, it might not be that easy for him to get close to Nicole. Lloyd then turned to Harvey, noticing that he had a frosty glint in his eyes. He had been hiding Nicole's real identity from Lloyd, which was a selfish move on his part.

"You probably won't be interested in what we're talking about, Mr. Ellison," Lloyd said in a tone indicating that he did not wish to continue the conversation.

Harvey was not bothered by Lloyd's words, as he then raised his brows and said, "I'm interested in whatever you're interested in, Lloyd. Care to share?"

'He came over just to eavesdrop on what Nicole had promised me,' Lloyd thought, his schemes running deep as he was worried that Nicole would fall for Harvey's tricks.

"If you wish to know that badly, you might as well ask Nicole about it."

After he had spoken, Lloyd turned around and left, not wanting to bother with Harvey anymore, but not before shooting Harvey a look as if to say, "Keep dreaming."
