My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 226

Karlo looked at the road ahead and stopped asking Zeke questions. Zeke looked at his father's seemingly shocked face and sat quietly, waiting for the car to drive them back to the Guzman Mansion instead of gibing at him.

As Nicole watched Zeke and Karlo leave, Jared spoke with a hint of displeasure beside her. "They have left. Stop staring already. Let me send you back to the Riddle Mansion."

Nicole nodded and whispered a thank-you to Jared.

Jared cocked an eyebrow at Nicole, as she was always so courteous to him. But he said nothing, just taking out his mobile phone to make a call. Soon, a metallic blue sports car pulled up in front of them, with Claus sticking his head out and looking at Nicole in surprise. "I didn't know you're here, too, Nicole."

Jared looked at the car in front of him with a frown.

Claus noticed the disgust on Jared's face and said helplessly, "Max thought you would have gone for a few days, so he sent your car to Eperon for maintenance. It will only be brought back in a week. Today, I will be your driver."

Nicole looked at the latest Aston Martin sports car in front and then glanced at Jared. She then got into the car, saying nothing. Jared then followed suit and sat beside Nicole.

The inner roof of the cabin was low, which made the two of them sit closer to each other. Nicole could clearly smell the faint sandalwood scent on Jared's body. It smelled ascetic and cold, like a forest after a rain, emitting a clean and pure cedar aroma. She turned to face the other side, not wanting to admit that she was fascinated by the scent.

Jared noticed her facial expression, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. His face looked seductively handsome in the dim light, his body seemingly floating quietly on the surface of the water with a deadly charm. Max used to say that their boss was the most perfect man in the world.

Claus glanced in the rearview mirror and then immediately looked away expressionlessly. Max was right; when Jared really wanted to capture someone, no one could escape. Unfortunately, Nicole was facing out the window and could not see his boss's face.

Claus grumbled in his mind, but his voice sounded gentle when he asked, "How did you two come back together?"

Nicole did not look at him but said faintly, "We bumped into each other in Nottingbrook State, and we both were coming back at the same time.”

Claus was a little surprised. "No wonder. By the way, what were you doing in Nottingbrook State?"

Only then did Nicole look at him. "To take care of some business." There was no emotion in her voice,

but there was an unexplained hint of arrogance.

'Good lord, it's as good as saying nothing,' Claus said in his mind.

"Shut your mouth up and drive." Jared's brows were knitted together. He could see that Nicole did not want to talk, so he did not ask. It looked like Claus was getting bolder lately.

Claus shut his mouth and said not a word again. He only asked because his boss had asked him to trail Nicole before this. His boss not only did not appreciate it but was also cavalier.

Nicole threw the black mobile phone into the bag and took out the mobile phone she usually used. She did not turn on her phone for the past two days and one night. Since she was back in the country now, she powered on the phone and put it in her pocket.
