My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1981

Nicole reached out and patted the back of his hand. "It's all in the past."

Nicole did not care if anyone around her was concerned about the matter.

"It's not." Jared slowly let go of her, pulling her wrists away and checking her wrists to see the scar on the tendon of her arm.

"Before this, you were able to do anything. Even I couldn't lay a finger on you, but now... you're much weaker in strength..." Jared looked at Nicole with a troubled look, before reaching out and tucking her hair behind her ear. Jared's action was so natural which caused Nicole to blush, but she did not shy away from it.

Nicole felt relief in her heart, knowing that she did not jerk away from his touch.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter anymore. I'm at the age where I don't have to bother using any strength. Plus, now that I'm home, I doubt there'd be anyone who'd dare bully me."

Jared had a dead set expression. "Whoever dares to hurt you again, I'll let them suffer the consequences."

The serious look on Jared's face sent cold chills down Nicole's spine. Mentally, Nicole knew that Jared meant every word he said.

Soon enough, it was noon. The Riddle family had prepared a lavish lunch for Lawrence. The table was filled with various dishes. Jared pulled a chair for Nicole to sit on and Lawrence sat directly on the side of Nicole. Nolan followed en suite and sat next to Lawrence, as if he was declaring his support by standing by Lawrence's side.

Lana went and sat next to Nolan, her face wearing an irritated expression. "Nolan, you're really annoying."

Nolan's eyes widened in shock. "Me? Annoying?"

Nolan was known to take care of Lana well. He cared for Lana, and did his best to keep his sister happy. 'What did I do to make her so angry?'

Lana peeked at her mother's awkward expression, immediately feeling unhappy. "You made our mother upset! I hate you!" Lana then turned her head away after she finished speaking.
