My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 63

As he spoke, everyone went from laughing at Nicole to speaking out for Gary.

Raine felt vindicated to hear these words. The indignation and jealousy she had harbored for the past few days because of Nicole had finally found a venting outlet. This made her feel much better.

Listening to others praising her and Gary, Raine turned to Gary and boldly asked, "They all say we are a good match. What do you think?"

However, Gary was still looking in Nicole's direction. When he heard that Nicole had scored a zero mark, the first thought that came to mind was, 'I knew it.' But then he was in mixed feelings, worrying that Nicole's feelings would get affected.

'Since when have I become so concerned about what Nicole thought? Apparently, I have always been right about her. Not only did I offer to help her with tuition, but I also admonished her. I had never treated others like this.' Gary did not mind when Nicole rejected his kindness. But what upset him was that she gave him the cold shoulder.

Raine, who was bending her blushing face, thought Gary was angry when he ignored her. So she glanced up and tried to explain nervously, "Gary, I mean nothing else."

Halfway through, she noticed Gary was not even looking at her but in Nicole's direction, as if he had not heard her words. Anger instantly rose within Raine. She stared at Nicole coldly. How she wished she could slice Nicole up and chop her into pieces.

Nicole got up and took her answer sheet back nonchalantly.

Mr. Louis looked at her unflustered face and said softly, "Don't give up. Your ideas are good. Just that you didn't complete each answer. I believe you will win the gold medal in the next Maths Olympiad competition if you work harder."

Nicole looked at Mr. Louis with surprise upon hearing that. He was smiling at her without the slightest hint of impatience. Instead, his eyes spoke of encouragement. So she bowed her head and said, "I know. Thank you, Mr. Louis."

Whispers did not stop even until Nicole returned to her seat and sat down. So Mr. Louis smacked the lectern and shouted, "Be quiet! Let's start by reviewing questions."

The lesson passed just like this. Nicole packed her things and was about to leave when Gary shook off Raine s hand and chased after Nicole.

Nicole walked slowly and soon saw him standing in front of her.

Gary frowned and felt angry when Nicole had no expression on her face when facing him. "Your improper conduct is one thing, but lying is another. Didn't you say the Maths Olympiad was easy? So why did you get a zero mark on this test?"

Nicole shot him a cold glance, wanting to leave without saying a word to him.
