My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2786

Nicole, in a frosty tone of voice, snapped back at Harvey. "We're indeed not as meddlesome as you."

'Why does he have to butt in on how people raise their kids?' she thought.

Harvey, who was feeling the sting from her words, replied, "I was just showing my concern."

"We don't need your concern. You should rather pay attention to your own affairs," she said. 'He really should stop poking his nose where he doesn't belong.'

Trying to suppress his anger, Harvey changed the subject and mellowed his tone. "Are you done eating?"

'Nicole is getting ruder by the day. Am I really that bothersome to her?' he wondered.

Instantly, Nicole got up with Jared. "Yes, we've finished. We'll leave you to eat your meal."

Although Nicole's words were polite, her message to Harvey was clear; she was telling him to stay out of her and Jared's way.

Harvey was seething as he watched them disappear from view, and so, he silently made a promise to himself, 'Just wait until my plan works out, Nicole. Everything's going to change soon. Let's see how you treat me then.'

Then, a waiter approached him. "Sir, would you like this table? I can clear it for you right away."

Harvey looked at the scraps of the meal on the table, and in unbridled annoyance, he said, "No, that's not necessary."

He was not really there to eat; he had deliberately entered the establishment upon spotting Nicole and Jared. His initial intent was just to see Nicole, but the encounter had left him seething with anger.

'Nicole hasn't changed a bit over the years. Her words are even sharper now. Just wait, Nicole. Just you wait! In three days, you'll understand what it means to regret your actions,' he fumed.
