My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2247

Lawrence flashed her a sheepish smile. "It seems to me that you won't be in any disadvantage."

Lawrence was worried that Harvey would not accept his requests and would even pose a threat to Riddle Corporation in the near future.

'Perhaps I'm overthinking this. She does not have to go through me for whatever decision she is going to be making. I guess I'll have to put my trust in her,' Lawrence thought to himself.

Nicole bit her lip and shot him a glance. "I must still thank you for this."

'With all said and done, he has personally shown up to provide me with such information just in time. I ought to thank him for this,' thought Nicole.

"There's no need to thank me for this. Just take it as a gesture of good will," Lawrence replied with a smile.

"Cut the crap. Me helping you is how things should be now. You've given me enough aid before this," Nicole said as she returned the smile.

'There will be no end to it if we keep repaying each other's favors.'

"That's a completely different story. I told you before, whatever happened back then was done out of nothing but good will." Lawrence's eyes darkened, not wanting Nicole to feel indebted to him.

Nicole raised her eyebrows, and cautiously, she replied, "Either way, it's not right for me to take advantage of that."

Nicole knew that even if Lawrence had done whatever had out of the kindness of his heart, she would still not take advantage of anyone.

"Nicole, there's really no need for you to do this. It makes things really awkward between us." Lawrence's eyes flashed with hurt and pain, indicating that their relationship was strained, and that they were no longer as close as they used to be.

Nicole bit her lips, and in a soft tone, she said, "Leo. We'll always be friends."

Lawrence paused for a moment before issuing a sigh of defeat. 'Why can't she see that I want us to be more than friends?'
