My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1940

Niki was praying that the 'devil' would not come after her, but at that moment, as if he had heard her prayers, her doorbell rang. This made her very nervous.

She calmly walked over and opened the door, unable to stop herself from giving Jared a gentle smile the second they saw one another. "Mr. Johnston, what can I do for you?"

Jared stared at Nicole, and all of his concerns immediately went out of the window the instant he caught sight of her face. 'How can I get mad at her after five years of not seeing her?'

Jared peeked at the laptop on the table behind Nicole, and pretended to be calm. "There was an attack on my company's system earlier. Do you... happen to know about this?"

Niki immediately shot her sleeping son a glance. 'That little b*stard has really caused a great deal of trouble. Look at him, sleeping so peacefully after stuffing himself full and leaving me, his mother, to deal with the mess he has made!'

Niki felt a sense of despair knowing that Jared had come all the way to find her. Even if she were to stall, Jared could still get someone to track the IP address down.

Thus, Niki gritted her teeth and said, "It was me..."

'I can't say this was done by my son now, can I?' she thought.

Jared frowned. "So it really was you."

'Other than Nicole, there is nobody else capable of cracking her own system.'

Jared sighed, unable to stop himself from asking, "Why?"

Then, he unconsciously took a step forward, approaching Nicole with an intimidating presence.

The sudden move prompted Niki to instinctually back away until she was cornered. 'This dude is way too...intimidating.'

"It's a misunderstanding...I...I will find a way to fix it. I'll make you a new system, if you don't mind...," Niki blurted out.

'I guess I can only use this way to appease the devil himself. I mustn't do anything to piss him off,' she strategized.

However, at this time, Jared was already so close to Nicole that he could catch the scent of her hair on his nose.
