My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 567

Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodded, not minding it. Instead, she looked at her granddaughter with puzzlement.

"Where are you going?"

Nicole knew she could never hide things from her grandmother, nor did she intend to. "I am traveling with my parents, worried that you would miss me, so I first came to see you."

Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodded. "Don't worry about me. I'm all right. Be careful when you're out there."

Nicole listened patiently to her grandmother's nagging admonition without interrupting her. After a moment, she glanced at her watch. "Grandma, I have to go."

Mrs. Wallace Sr. nodded downheartedly and sighed softly as she watched her granddaughter turn away.

Nicole had always been sensible. Especially after she was lost and found, she became as steady and dependable as now; every time before going out, she would let her grandmother know lest her grandmother would be worried.

Mrs. Wallace Sr. knew that her granddaughter had secrets, and that she probably was not going on a vacation. But since Nicole did not tell her, she would not ask. Returning to her room silently, Mrs. Wallace Sr. sat down at her desk, secretly praying for Nicole's safe return.

What had to be done had been done; Nicole and Carl headed straight for the airport.

On the plane, Nicole silently looked at the clouds outside the window, her mind drifting away. She thought of where she was about to return and sighed.

Carl noticed her emotions and turned to look at her with a slight concern in his affectionate blue eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Nicole said not a word. She shook her head gently and closed her eyes.

Carl looked at her for a moment and then pulled a blanket over her body. He did not want Nicole to continue to get involved in those things, but she was the only person who could control those things and solve the crisis.
